I also want to talk about children. Because I deal with two children at home every day, I sometimes have to be curious and think about what kind of development law is hidden in them.
There is a saying: "If you haven't read Piaget, you haven't read psychology." Thus, Piaget's position in the psychological field, he is the most famous child psychologist in modern times.
Piaget famously said, "All wisdom comes from action."
It is particularly important for children, especially children aged -2, to constantly satisfy their activities and movements. This is the first stage of children's development, which he calls the perceptual movement stage.
At this time, it is not for them to sit and learn to do thinking problems and recite abstract knowledge, but for them to run, jump, climb and roll, and move in a suitable free and safe environment, which is in line with the law of their development.
I remember that when my eldest son was 13 months old, early education was on the rise and I took him to several kindergartens to play. Among them, I was deeply impressed when I took him to a kindergarten and entered a class, which was basically filled with children of the same age as my eldest son.
Most of them are still wearing diapers, and they need the help of the teacher to change them. When the eldest son first entered, he was attracted by an electronic piano and stayed in front of it for a long time. As for what teachers and children are doing, he hasn't paid much attention to it.
When the children started their class, the teacher wrote an ancient poem "Jiang Xue" on the blackboard. A group of children over one year old followed the teacher and began to read ancient poems.
I left the kindergarten with my eldest son while they were reading aloud.
I don't have professional knowledge about children's development, but I have a vague feeling that children who have just learned to walk for a long time are sitting in the classroom and reading ancient poems that don't mean much to them for the time being. It seems that the style of painting is a bit inconsistent with the law of children's development.
a little thing is fresh in my memory.
here, we don't discuss mechanical learning or meaningful learning, which is more important, accepting learning or discovering learning? Because they all have their own advantages for different teaching environments and different students, they are all important.
I mainly lament the importance of understanding the laws of children's cognitive development. Of course, according to his theory, with the development of children, they will go through other stages successively. They are pre-operation stage (2-7 years old), concrete operation stage (7,8-11,12 years old) and formal operation stage. Each stage of development has its own characteristics.
There is no denying that they probably learned these ancient poems in a few years in kindergarten, but they can also learn them in a few months at a suitable school age. And what about the precious time that was originally used to develop activities?
Now, when I study the law of children's development studied by Piaget, I see that the actions he said are not only actions in specific activities, but all actions between self and object.
objects, including objects and people. Therefore, parents and other family members can also be the objects of children.
Every stumbling in a child's growth from birth, and the interaction with his parents and family are all processes of inner expansion, action development and wisdom formation.
therefore, it is very beneficial for children to provide rich object environment and object relationship.
this is a great inspiration to me.
From their constant exploration and the realization of their inner wishes, we can see that children are interested in the world. When they are understood and satisfied, their level will spiral up in a critical period.
Up to now, the eldest son likes to make all kinds of small crafts and objects by hand. The younger son also likes to start work and create all kinds of "chaos" in the kitchen.
I remember that the proprietress of the beauty shop mentioned that when her children were doodling, they could continue to paint on the wall with mosquito-repellent incense even when there was no pen.
children are still so full of vitality when they are not supported. What if they can be properly supported?
