Research on how to improve children's self-care ability

Self-care is simply self-help and self-care. It is the most basic life skill that a person should have. The formation of children's self-care ability is helpful to cultivate children's sense of responsibility, self-confidence and ability to deal with problems, which will have a far-reaching impact on their future life. Nowadays, most children are dependent and have poor self-care ability, so that they can't adapt to the new environment well. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate children's self-care ability, which should be regarded as one of the important contents of educational activities. Some experts pointed out that the cultivation of children's abilities and habits is in preschool period. As a kindergarten, it is the key to children's self-care ability to grasp this critical stage and educate children according to their age characteristics and self-care status. Combined with my work experience in recent years, talk about my own views.

First, enhance children's self-care awareness.

Parents' unconditional arrangement makes children form a wrong understanding: parents will help them do things they don't want to do (if they want to drink water, parents will bring water; When getting up, parents will get dressed ...), let the children know that they have grown up through various forms, don't be afraid of being tired, and "do your own thing."

1, positively educate children and enhance their self-care awareness. For example, by talking about activities such as "I am a good baby", "I have grown up" and "I have learned …", let children realize that they have the ability to do something well and feel happy that they can do what they can. Another example is to help children fully understand the connotation of works in language activities (poems, stories, pictures, etc.). ), and let the children be infected and educated through the behavior of the characters in the works.

2. Consolidate children's awareness of self-care by distinguishing different behaviors (self-care and self-care). We can prepare pictures and videos of different behaviors for children, so that children can improve their understanding of self-care behavior in comparison.

Second, teach children the skills of taking care of themselves.

To let children take care of themselves, we must let them know how to take care of themselves. Children won't tie their shoelaces until they learn how to tie them. Children can't wash their faces, so they can't. If children don't know where to put their toys, they can't put them back ... that is to say, even if children have a sense of self-care, they can't do it well even if they lack self-care ability. Therefore, we also need to let children learn specific self-care methods.

1, entertaining, let children know how to take care of themselves. According to the age characteristics of children, some self-care skills can be made into nursery rhymes, songs and interesting plots, so that children can learn skills in games and entertainment. For example, when teaching children how to tie their shoelaces, we can combine the song "Tie Your Shoelaces": two good friends meet and shake hands, get into a big hole and pull their ears hard to become butterflies. Let children learn to tie their shoelaces easily and independently in laughter.

2, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, targeted, individual guidance. Because there are individual differences among children, the requirements are different for children without hierarchy. For children with strong self-care ability, the requirements are higher; For children with poor self-care ability, the required standards should be relatively low, and they should not be forced, let alone despised, and should teach students in accordance with their aptitude. For example, in the process of guiding to wear shoes, small class children are required to wear shoes on the basis of distinguishing their left and right feet; Children in large classes should not only correctly distinguish their left and right feet, but also tie their shoelaces correctly. If some children's self-care ability is unbalanced and shoelaceing is a weakness, we can give more patient and meticulous individual guidance on shoelaceing skills.

3, step by step, and gradually improve the requirements. After acquiring the initial self-care skills, we should pay attention to improving the speed and quality of children's work. For example, children in small classes may sprinkle rice at first. After a period of training and practice, children will gradually master the correct way to eat, and sprinkle less or no rice.

4. Successful tasting will further improve children's self-care ability. The pleasure of success is the driving force to promote children to take care of themselves. When children make little progress, words such as "you are great" and "you are really capable" will make children full of confidence in their abilities and become a powerful driving force to motivate children to consciously master their self-care ability; However, when children are limited by their own abilities and can't achieve the expected goals, we should guide them patiently and carefully, supplemented by encouraging words (such as "you can do it" and "I believe you will do it well"), and help them succeed when necessary, so as not to dampen their enterprising spirit.

Third, consolidate children's self-care behavior.

The formation of skills is an iterative process, so we should pay attention to future consolidation exercises. Teachers should always urge, check and remind children, so that children's good habits will continue to strengthen and gradually form conscious behavior.

1, train children's self-care ability in one day's activities.

(1) Cultivate children's self-care behavior in life activities. Go to the toilet, wash your hands and get extra points everywhere, which reflects the child's self-care level. We should seize this critical opportunity to guide and supervise children's self-care behavior and make it a habit. The habit of consciously sorting clothes and trousers after going to the toilet, the habit of consciously washing hands correctly before and after meals, and the habit of gargling correctly after ordering food. ...

(2) Practice self-care skills in corner activities. The activity area integrates entertainment and operation, providing children with ample opportunities to use their hands and brains. According to the educational objectives, materials should be placed in a planned way so that children can master, practice and be familiar with skills in corner activities. For example, there is a planned way to put shoelaces in the operating area; Add all kinds of peas and let the children practice using chopsticks. ...

(3) In addition, morning exercises, naps, outdoor activities, etc. Can penetrate the content of self-care.

2. Stimulate children's sense of competition and promote self-care ability in competition. Children are lively and active. Sometimes, a casual remark can arouse his competitiveness and make him eager to try. We can grasp the characteristics of children and design some interesting competitions to promote development and improve children's self-care ability through competitions. Such as "dressing contest" and "holding bean contest".

3. Let children develop from self-service to group service. For example, arrange students to be on duty every day, set the table for children and distribute napkins, so that children can take care of themselves and serve the collective and others, and cultivate their self-care ability while shaping their excellent quality.

However, there are still quite a few families who take care of themselves, and some parents think that it is not too late for children to grow up and do it again. Everything is arranged instead, so that adults can help them eat and urinate. Even some children can do things by themselves in kindergarten, but when they get home, they "have their hands full of clothes and their mouths full of food." Over time, children develop a "dependent" mentality. This requires that in the process of cultivating children's self-care ability, the family is United and the children are educated consistently. Specifically, we should pay attention to the following points:

1, teachers should publicize the knowledge of scientific parenting to parents, change their misconceptions, and let parents know not to deprive their children of the right to do it at home.

2. Kindergartens should strengthen contact with parents and reach a consistent goal. * * * requires children to affirm their progress in time and gradually put forward new requirements.

In short, "Rome wasn't built in a day", and the cultivation of children's self-care ability can not be effective after one or two educations, which is a long process. The child is still young, as long as he can do it himself, he should be given the opportunity to exercise. On this basis, he should be taught by example, supplemented by patient and meticulous care, and be concentric with his family. Only in this way can it become a reality to cultivate children's strong self-care ability.
