Walking the baby in the community, what a group of grandmothers like to communicate most is that my baby can walk, my baby can talk, my baby can read and my baby can write. ...
There is a baby who walks a month in advance at home, just as proud as the baby has a VIP ticket for life;
Having a baby who can read and write at an early age is like raising a gifted baby with an IQ of 200. ...
Seeing that other children are so capable, their children seem to have obviously "lost at the starting line". How can parents still sit still?
So after returning home, I strengthened the training for my baby-those who can't walk, read or write, began to be forced to practice writing. ...
In the crawling era, the comparison on the "starting line" began.
Wait a minute! ? Never start training children to write too early!
Parents should restrain their anxiety and don't try to let their children achieve the so-called "winning at the starting line" by "rushing to run".
The world is fair, and cheating in the competition will inevitably have corresponding consequences. Winning at the starting line for a while may bring a heavy price for losing the whole process.
We need to understand the laws of children's physical and nervous system development, respect their physiological rhythm, do things at any age, and never encourage them to do things.
So, when should children start training to write? How to train? Why?
To answer these questions, we must first understand the writing hand, the requirements of the pen-holding opponent to write, and the development law of the hand muscles and fine movements of infants.
0 1 What kind of hand should be suitable for writing? The ancients always said that the scholar was a bookworm who was "powerless". However, a pair of weak hands can't write well!
I wonder if you have written too much about sore fingers and sore wrists?
With the popularity of computers, mobile phones and other equipment, the trend of paperless office is on the rise. We spend less and less time writing every day, and some people can't even write a few words a week.
Such a hand that doesn't hold the pen for a long time, when it suddenly needs to write something one day, will it feel that the hand holding the pen seems to be shaking and weak?
All these phenomena show that writing is actually a "hard job". If you want to write well, you need some strength in your fingers and wrists to control the direction of the pen calmly.
Athletes will have a step-by-step strength training process before lifting barbells, and they can only formally practice lifting barbells when their muscles become strong enough. Similarly, before a child writes with a pen, a series of hand training should be carried out to prepare his little hand for writing.
How do babies' little hands develop? If we carefully observe children's small hands, we will find that the hand movements of children of different ages are very different.
0- 1 year-old, children's small hands can only grasp very thick columnar objects, and they are "grasping".
1-2 years old, the child's small hands can initially distinguish the function of fingers, and can pick up relatively small objects with three fingers, but at this time, they can't distinguish finer movements. At this point, the child begins to have the desire to doodle, and will try to pick up the pen with his hand and start poking.
At the age of 2-3, children's graffiti gradually began to have coherent lines. At this stage, children can be provided with a thick washable colored pen (the thickness of the pen is close to the diameter of an adult's finger) and a large white cloth or whiteboard, so that children can easily grasp and doodle. At this stage, the way children hold pens is still "grasping", and the fingers have not yet differentiated the functions suitable for holding pens.
The way babies grasp pens is "grasping", which is different from that of adults.
How do children's little hands develop? During the period of 3-4 years old, the child's fingers began to have finer movements, and the hand-eye coordination ability was further developed. At this time, the children also began to go to kindergarten. ? Regular kindergarten curriculum, seemingly games, actually has a very deep scientific background.
In kindergarten, children develop fine finger movements through a series of games, such as origami, playing with plasticine, paper-cutting and coloring.
Don't underestimate these games. First of all, you should rub the plasticine round and flat with both hands, cut it off with necessary tools and knead it into a specific shape. All these require the brain to accurately control the small muscles of hands and fingers, and fingers need corresponding strength and flexibility.
These abilities are not innate, but need to be gradually cultivated and consolidated through long-term training.
Using scissors requires a high degree of flexibility and hand-eye coordination. If right-handed people try to cut a piece of paper into a circle with a pair of scissors in their left hand, they will understand what the child has experienced in the process.
Playing with plasticine can train the strength, accuracy and flexibility of fingers.
During the period of 4-5 years old, that is, in the middle class of kindergarten, the requirements of kindergarten for art classes began to increase, requiring children to start drawing a specific shape with crayons and draw it evenly with oil pastels.
Color, and color evenly without leaving a blank, there are certain requirements for the strength of the fingers. At this time, the child's hand strength is still lacking, and the oil pastel is soft and easy to color, which will be a better painting tool.
Our right hand has experienced long-term use and training, so it is so dexterous and powerful as it is today, while our left hand has never experienced such complete training. Therefore, even after decades, many functions of our untrained left hand still remain at the level of three or four years old. ? (This article defaults to right-handed. If you are left-handed, please switch left and right. )
Even if a person's right hand can impress many people with soft pen and hard pen calligraphy, it doesn't mean that his untrained left hand can write with a pen now.
Accuracy and strength of oil pastel coloring training for children's fingers.
During the period of 5-6 years old, that is, when the kindergarten is in a large class, the child's fingers have undergone fine exercise and strength training, and with the gradual improvement of the nervous system development, they have initially acquired the ability to use a pen. ? Some children with faster development will begin to have the desire to write.
Kindergarten teachers' bridging courses are generally arranged in the second half of the kindergarten class, which is also in line with the children's physical and mental development level. ? At this time, children begin to learn the correct pen-holding posture and train basic writing skills. Children can master it easily and write quickly and well. Then, after entering the first grade of primary school, children can easily adapt to doing homework and will not feel very hard.
Children over 5 years old can hold a pen correctly and write quickly and well.
Then, what will happen if you don't follow the natural development law of children and train them to write in advance?
0 1 simulation experience I want you to do an experiential experiment with me:
Prepare the following materials: toothpick, refill, gel pen and whiteboard pen. Apply a little vegetable oil to the five fingers of the right hand (left-handed people can apply it to the left hand). Pick up the toothpick, refill, gel pen and whiteboard pen in turn, and draw a circle the size of a shirt button on the paper respectively. Please carefully feel the difference of finger muscle tension and strength brought by different pens, as well as the difference of difficulty. Pick up the pens above in turn. Draw a circle the size of a dollar coin on the paper, and carefully feel the difference between the tension, force and difficulty of finger muscles and the small circle just drawn. Even if our hands are developed, when we pick up something smaller, our fingers need to use more force to ensure that we control that thing.
If your fingers slip when holding something oily, you will definitely make more efforts to hold it tightly in order to ensure the control of the item.
The smaller the circle, the higher the accuracy of finger movement, so the finger needs more power to control it more accurately.
Children's immature hands, like our oiled hands, are difficult to control small things.
Let three or four-year-old children write on a small square less than 2cm with a pencil with a shaft diameter less than 1cm and a nib diameter less than1mm. The difficulty is actually similar to that of a man holding an embroidery needle in his hand to embroider on cloth.
In order to ensure a good grip on the pen, the younger the child, the more he needs to hold the pen desperately.
Wrong way of exerting force, wrong pen holding posture. In small classes in kindergarten, the brush used by children is close to the fingers of adults, not as thin as a pencil. That is to make it easier for children's little hands to control the pen.
Similarly, in kindergarten, only learning to draw, whether drawing circles or lines, is a big picture, rather than accurately writing strokes with the word Gri, in order to keep children's hands from overexertion.
Let the children's hands have corresponding strength and control first, and then give corresponding challenges, which is also the embodiment of the principle of gradual progress.
In daily life, we will observe that some people's strokes are particularly hard, penetrating the back of the paper and even tearing the thinner paper.
Because of too much force, their hands are not flexible, their strokes are stiff, and it takes a lot of effort and time from starting to putting pen to paper, so it is impossible to write quickly.
Moreover, overworked hands are easy to get tired, and their hands are easy to get sore when writing. After a few words, they will feel their hands ache and need a rest.
Excessive stroke force, finger fatigue and poor writing speed are all problems caused by the wrong way of exerting force at a very young age, which are usually related to the inability to control the pen correctly in the early stage of fingers, that is to say, they are usually sequelae of learning to write too early.
Because the functional differentiation of fingers in the early stage is not clear enough, it is difficult for them to hold the pen accurately. They hold the pen with their thumb on their forefinger ... there are all kinds of strange gestures. These wrong pen-holding postures have been fixed for a long time and it is difficult to correct them.
In addition, due to the long-term exertion of fingers, it will also lead to the bending and deformation of fingers, calluses at the middle finger joints and other problems that seriously affect the beauty and health of hands.
Long-term incorrect writing and excessive exertion lead to deformation of middle finger joints and calluses.
Scoliosis, hunchback, myopia We subconsciously desire to use the whole body's strength to participate in controlling things that we can't control with one hand.
When the child's little hand can't control the pencil freely, in order to strengthen the sense of control, he will involuntarily lean forward, his back is tense and his head is too close.
This posture has become a habit for a long time, and it will also cause problems of poor sitting posture and myopia, as well as cervical discomfort and back muscle pain.
The habit we formed when we were young, the easier it is to become an unconscious state, and it is difficult to be corrected deliberately.
We often see some children sitting badly and getting too close. When teachers and parents wake up, they will realize that they will make some adjustments, but before long, they will become the same.
That has become a child's unconscious state, and they can't control it themselves. This is usually related to early writing problems.
The sitting posture is incorrect, the distance is too close, and the pen holding posture is incorrect.
Therefore, learning to write too early will leave a series of lifelong problems that are difficult to correct.
So I said that winning at the starting line may cost me the whole process.
In fact, at the age of 65,438+06, the difference between learning to write at the age of 4 and learning to write at the age of 6 is really not that big. Even the words written by prodigies in their early childhood are not as good as those written by ordinary children.
So, is it love or harm to train children to write early?
