After the invigilation of the sophomore academic proficiency test, I passed through Longtousi Park and went in for a turn. When I met a mother with a child, the child kept asking: Why?The mother took the trouble to explain to the child.
I am reminded of a netizen who accompanied the child every day, and observed everything that the child was interested in in the world in which he lived. In the face of the child's why, the mother felt that the knowledge accumulation was insufficient, so she bought a full set of 100,000 whys, as well as encyclopedias, the child is not yet literate, but every time she encounters a problem, the mother takes the initiative to look for the answer to these books, and will definitely plant the seeds of love for books in the child's young heart. I was touched by the mother's actions, and the child's problems became opportunities for the parents to enrich and grow themselves.
Many years ago, a student who taught me turned an article in his own space, especially talking about why he is serious about facing his children and protecting his children's curiosity in the process of growth, which should be a spirit of exploration that parents and teachers should protect with their hearts in the process of education.
What is the purpose of education?The purpose of education should not only be to make children passive copiers of answers, but to tap and guide children's instincts for curiosity and exploration, so that children can learn to acquire knowledge on their own.
The "why" of childhood is invaluable, the origin of all a child's interests, and the motivation for a child to explore knowledge.
When I was a child, when the child asked the old ** mother when he had a question, the old ** mother would often say, how can there be so many why?Don't study hard, think about this!
Gradually, the child stopped asking questions. Later, the children were really not curious.
The most important thing for children to be curious is not to stifle the "why" of children.
Maybe the child is asking a question that sounds boring;Maybe the child asks a question that he can't answer for a whileMaybe the questions asked by children are too common ......
However, these questions are all meaningful. As a parent, how do you face your child's "why"?
First, pay attention to your child's questions and don't get bored.
Sometimes, children ask too many questions, and parents are annoyed by asking questions. "How can there be so many whys!It became a mantra for parents, and it gradually extinguished the children's strong curiosity.
Curiosity is fragile and precious, and it's a child's first attempt to explore the world.
Listen carefully to any strange question your child asks, and then encourage your child to ask, "That's an interesting question!"This is such a good question, my mother has never thought about it!”
Parents need to care about their children's questions, and their children will ask more questions. A good question is sometimes more valuable than knowing an answer, when a child is asking a question, the child is using his brain, and asking a question is actually an active learning process.
Second, don't rush to give an answer, let alone say "this is the way it is".
Mom, why is the sky blue?"The sky is blue, I don't know why. Children who get such an answer must be very disappointed.
In fact, there are many problems that people are accustomed to, but when you think about it, you don't know the principle.
What everyone should review is not "why there are so many problems with children", but "why we are no longer curious about the world".
Don't rush to give answers, but give prompts to encourage your child to think and explore further.
You can briefly tell your child what you know and remind your child: "This is what Mommy knows, there may be other explanations, let's go check it together!".”
Third, guide your child to ask questions and stimulate his curiosity.
In life, you can ask some small questions to stimulate children's interest in the details of life, and work with children to find answers to questions.
Stimulate children's curiosity and desire for knowledge, parents can experience the joy of curiosity with their children!
Bright colors and special shapes will stimulate children's curiosity, and everyone can create and use opportunities in life to develop children's various perceptions such as touching, hearing, seeing, smelling, and tasting.
Use contrasting colors to make children curious and learn about the world. In addition, the participation of multiple senses can also allow children to understand information from different angles and have a more comprehensive, three-dimensional and accurate understanding of objects.
On the weekend, go with your child to discover what is white and what is black in the room, and your child will definitely discover and think more.
In the eyes of children, everything is new, please take the children's "why" seriously, and find the "why" with the child, take good care of the child's curiosity and curiosity, so that the child's eyes to see the world will always shine with starlight!
In fact, teachers also need to ask more "why" in the process of education, especially when students have problems. For example, if a student does not do homework, the teacher should not criticize the student for only playing and not worrying about learning, let alone putting "how hard the parents are, are you worthy of them" at every turn, the appropriate way is to calmly understand why the student did not complete the homework;For another example, if a student bumps into a teacher, it is best for the teacher not to immediately feel that his dignity has been violated, and to try to calm his emotions, think about why the student is like this, and what the specific reason is, after all, the student does not come to school to quarrel with the teacher, and the premise of educating the student is to "know the student, understand the student, and respect the student". One teacher said, "I've been teaching for more than 10 years, but I've never thought about it like this!""There is a teacher who is always prone to anger and anger when educating students, and there is a saying that anger is to punish oneself for the mistakes of others, but in fact, being angry and angry is more about the lack of one's own educational wisdom and lack of cultivation. If we can ask why a student makes a mistake or has a problem, we may be much more at ease.
