The cultivation and improvement of self-care ability can promote children's independence and self-confidence and lay a good foundation for their lives. There are more and more only children in today's society, and the material conditions of children can be said to be unprecedented, which is followed by ubiquitous "doting" and "pampering", and the phenomenon of "arranging instead" is becoming more and more serious. Children's mouths are full of food and clothes are stretched.
First, analyze the causes of children's weak self-care ability
1, excessive concern, many things that children should do by themselves, parents are used to arranging instead, doing it themselves. Children are the "little sun", "little emperor" and "darling" at home. Many adults around him at home make them happy, thinking that as long as the children eat well, they will be healthy. Therefore, many children have to feed, and some grandparents have to have a good meal with them, or let the children watch TV while feeding; Helping them urinate and get dressed is considered an obligation by adults. But I don't know that children's desire for independence will gradually disappear, resulting in dependence and slow development.
2. I think children are young and have poor ability, and it is not too late to study in the future.
In life, we often hear children's demands: "I'll wash it, I'll get it, myself … and so on". But the answer is often: "No, you are too young to do it." Many parents believe that when children reach a certain age, they naturally learn to dress and eat by themselves. Now that children are young, there is no need to rush to let them do it themselves, and the younger they are, the harder it is to teach, and the faster they go to college. Therefore, children who grow up like this have to do everything by themselves at home, almost all of which are arranged by adults, and they have developed a serious dependence psychology, which makes them lag behind other children in all aspects of development.
3, afraid of trouble, too slow for children, or eat dirty.
Because the child's small muscles are underdeveloped, the self-control ability is poor, and the hand-eye coordination is not enough. Let the children eat by themselves, often on the table and on the ground. My parents are too dirty, so I think it is better to feed them quickly. Some children want to wash their hands by themselves, and as a result, their hands are not clean and their clothes and floors are wet. Parents regret not washing him. Children have to wear their own clothes, and as a result, they have to wear them backwards, which delays working hours ... So many parents think that it is better to do it by themselves than to let their children do it, which saves time and trouble. In fact, parents refuse to let their children do it by themselves, which hurts their self-esteem and self-confidence and hinders the development of their ability and independence.
Second, how to cultivate children's self-care ability.
(A) the cultivation of life ability in the game.
Playing games is a child's nature. For children, the happiest thing is games, and games are the source of children's happiness. Mr. Michael Chen, a famous educator in China, said: "Children are born active and regard games as their life." Children in small classes especially like talking and playing. Grasping this feature, we will let children develop their own abilities in games and hands-on operations, and pay attention to the guidance and cultivation of children. For example, in the operating area, we put some plastic bottles for children to screw on the lids, and also put bottle dolls made of coke bottles, soybeans, silkworms and spoons. Let the children play games to feed the baby, put some dolls in the doll house, and let the children wash their faces, hands, clothes and shoes. In the game operation, they can gain life experience and exercise their life ability. You can also decorate a beautiful picture with cloth on one wall and nail some buttons, male and female buttons, etc. In the tree in the background picture, let children design and make pictures at will, such as fixing fruit on the tree, sticking a woodpecker on the trunk, installing two wheels on the car, etc. Let children develop hand-eye coordination ability and exercise small muscles in the operation of buckle, tear and paste, so that their self-care ability can be consolidated and strengthened. Games are very attractive to children, and it is easier to motivate children to overcome difficulties and strive to achieve certain goals, thus exercising their will.
1. In order to help children learn to eat by themselves, we set up a game of "feeding small animals" in the living area. Cut all kinds of cute animal heads (such as kittens and puppies). ) Stick it on the shoe box with cardboard, and cut out the hole for children to feed. At the same time, prepare large and small "foods" such as soybeans, mung beans and broad beans, and feeding tools such as long-handled spoons for children to practice. Every time the regional activities are held, the children are scrambling to play, and Xiaohui, who doesn't even like rice at ordinary times, is also scrambling to play. One day, Xiaohui was feeding the kitten again, only to hear her mutter, "Come on, baby!" " ! Mom feeds you. "As he spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of mung beans and carefully sent them to the mouth of the" cat baby ". He watched the "cat baby" finish eating smoothly, fed the second bite with satisfaction, and kept boasting: "Well, the baby is really good. Eat more to make the baby grow up! "Look, what a filial mother! I always looked on coldly and didn't interrupt her enthusiasm to be a "mother". When commenting on the activities, I praised her and asked other children to learn from her. Then, ask her to be as good as her "cat baby", eat more and grow tall and big. She nodded happily, and all the children showed envious expressions. For several days in a row, Xiaohui ate carefully and did not forget to show it to me after eating. Although she ate slowly, she ate by herself, and I praised her progress in time. In the future, whenever Xiaohui's dietary problems recur, I will remind her to learn from "cat baby" and be a good boy. With my encouragement, Xiaohui persisted. Now I can finish my meal quickly. In order to increase the interest, the animal's mouth can be dug into different shapes, such as circle, square, triangle, etc., and the provided "food" (such as biscuits) can also have corresponding shape changes.
2. In order to let children learn to wear shoes by themselves, I designed the game "Shoes Competition". One warm afternoon, I got up after a nap. I said, "Children, let's wear shoes today." It is children's nature to like games. Children like adults to play games, especially with teachers. In the game, you and he are no longer teachers and children, but equal companions. This relationship is conducive to relaxing his mood and enabling him to practice wearing shoes freely. Winning is very fulfilling, he will let you compare with him, and he will be proud of it; If he loses, he won't be persuaded. He always wants to win once and asks for another time. So whether he wins or loses, he keeps repeating an action: wearing shoes. At the same time, this ability is constantly developing and improving. This kind of game is win-win for teachers and children, which not only helps children learn to take care of themselves, but also enhances the feelings between teachers and children.
(2) Vividly teach children to learn various life and labor skills in various forms.
1. In the family, children can be teachers, parents can be taught to dress and wear shoes, and the skills they have learned can be consolidated.
2. Tell stories such as "Do your own thing" and "I help my mother to do things", sing "Labor is the most glorious" with children, read poems such as "Don't say I am young", and watch relevant TV programs to let children know that they should do their own thing and stimulate their desire to participate.
3. Use games to stimulate children's interest. For example, games such as "I am an aunt feeding" and "I help the doll wear new clothes" are used to teach children some labor skills. In these games, children will learn some basic skills, such as eating, dressing and arranging toys. Then, help the child enter his own real life. This method is in line with children's psychological characteristics, natural and friendly, lively and effective.
4. By competing with mom and dad, let the children know that only by dressing themselves and arranging toys every day can the competition be won. At the beginning, parents can deliberately slow down and give their children a sense of success. When the child has mastered the correct method, parents can make demands.
Third, link the cultivation of life ability with parents' work.
Parents are children's first teachers, and it is inseparable from parents' cooperation to cultivate and train children well. To this end, we write the monthly training goal in the contact column at home and explain the content for parents to understand. At the same time, parents are required to provide convenience for their children, clothes are light and easy for children to operate, and parents are required to conduct synchronous training at home. Hold a parent forum to publicize the importance of children's ability training, talk about training methods and children's progress, and teach some teaching skills. There are many stars in the class to compare who has made the greatest progress, which not only pays attention to the individual differences of children, but also fully affirms their development. At the same time, parents can see their children's development at a glance and urge them to actively cooperate with teachers to improve their children's life skills. Many parents said: "After children enter the park, they have a strong sense of independence and are willing to do many things by themselves. Teachers help children develop good living habits and improve their self-care ability. "
To sum up, the cultivation of children's self-care ability is an important part of kindergarten work. With the development of quality education, it is very important to improve children's self-care ability. Mr. Chen Heqin attaches great importance to the cultivation of children's habits, and believes that "a good habit is a blessing in life, but a bad habit is a pain in life." Cultivating children's good living habits and self-care ability can lay a foundation for their lives.
