How to give new life to old children's songs?

Children's songs only need children to like them, which is the most important thing.

Recently, watching the news, some educators criticized that the current nursery rhymes are not suitable for children, have no life and childlike innocence, and pay attention to education. An example is given in this paper. When a parent was teaching children's songs, the children asked the parents with a puzzled face, what is a handkerchief, what is a swallow and so on. In a word, the final conclusion of the news is that the classic nursery rhymes in the past are out of date and need new nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes. But is this really the case?

As a parent, I don't think there is anything wrong with children's songs now. My child is a little over two years old now. It is when he likes nursery rhymes that he bought a special nursery rhymes machine very early. The children can't put it down, and they take this "big rabbit" with them everywhere. Now she can sing more than ten children's songs completely, and even more can hum them.

The news claimed that the reporter went to the kindergarten and conducted an investigation. Therefore, many children don't know the difference between swallows and other birds. I don't believe this statement. My children can distinguish swallows from other birds before they are old enough to go to kindergarten, and they can even name more than a dozen birds, which makes those children who go to kindergarten worse than my children.

Handkerchiefs are the same problem. The article says that children only know that handkerchiefs are used for throwing, but they don't know the purpose of handkerchiefs. However, in my experience, this statement is also a joke. It is estimated that the reporter only knows a nursery rhyme of "losing a handkerchief", but there are still many nursery rhymes about handkerchiefs. For example, the nursery rhyme "Little Handkerchief" sings "Wipe your nose and sweat". All the children in my family know the function of handkerchiefs and even ask us for handkerchiefs. Fortunately, we happen to have a souvenir handkerchief that we traveled many years ago.

If divorced from reality, it is not just these children's songs, almost half of them are. Nowadays, children have never counted ducks, ridden donkeys and bought mushrooms, but they like to count ducks. I have a little donkey who picks mushrooms like a little girl. Do they really have to see the real thing? Some experts seem to look down on children's IQ too much.

Children's songs and nursery rhymes are not only for children to play, but also have certain educational functions, which should lead children to know the world. It is not unreasonable that those classic children's songs can be widely circulated and enduring.

I've always wondered why someone would point the finger at those classic old songs until I finally saw them. It turned out to be another soft article to promote the so-called "New Children's Songs".
