A naive joke

It takes a long time for children's language and cognitive development to mature gradually. In this process, many children will say a lot of interesting' children talk nonsense' because of such cognitive bias. No, I went out to eat with my friends today and was' cute' by the little boy at the next table.

That boy should be four or five years old, and his clothes are printed with cartoon dinosaurs. He looks very cute. While waiting for the food, the waiter in the restaurant first put a few bone plates on each table. After reading it, the boy was very excited to pull his mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, look, there are two mosquitoes floating in the dish!" " "This shout attracted the attention of the whole restaurant.

The boy's mother may be embarrassed and scold: "Don't talk nonsense, that's the shrimp in the painting." Keep quiet and don't make any noise in public. "After being scolded, the boy sat there, looking very wronged.

In fact, these ink shrimps painted on the bones really look like dark mosquitoes at first glance. Especially if children have not been exposed to landscape painting, they can't understand it.

The boy wants to share his novel findings with his mother, but he is naturally unhappy when he is accused of such nonsense. In fact, this kind of education unconsciously destroyed children's desire to explore abroad, and even hurt their self-confidence.

Then, how should parents guide their children's childish words?

First, respect the immature self-esteem of children.

Don't disrespect your child's views and opinions just because you think he is still young, or even take a reprimanding and mocking attitude towards his ideas. The child taught in this way is not "sensible", but will be hurt into a child who is not confident, not active and afraid to explore outside.

Many parents think that their children are still young and don't understand anything, so they regard their children's' children's words are unscrupulous' as jokes. In the long run, this attitude of ignoring children's dignity is likely to make children doubt their abilities.

When children "admit their mistakes" and "put themselves in other's shoes", as parents, we should encourage them to observe and think more, and really guide their language and cognitive development.

Second,? Respect children's current knowledge development.

Many times, children say a lot of' seemingly reasonable, in fact, the stove is wrong', not deliberately joking, but because his/her own knowledge reserve is not enough, and it has not developed to the stage of being able to recognize or understand complex things.

Take the little boy in the restaurant as an example. His "nonsense" comes from daily life. He often sees tiny black mosquitoes, but he has never seen shrimps painted in ink style, so when he sees the patterns on the plate, he will naturally regard them as mosquitoes.

Faced with this situation, parents should not criticize their children for "talking nonsense", "misreading" and "not observing carefully", but should actively improve the knowledge points that children can learn in daily life. Only in this way can we cultivate his/her rich experience and help children understand the world more deeply, scientifically and correctly.

Third,? Respect children's current immature cognition.

The development of children's logical thinking ability needs a long process. In daily life, respecting a child's naive ideas in the eyes of adults is actually protecting his innate curiosity. Only in this way, children will have the courage and motivation to keep exploring, keep thinking about external things and truly develop their logical thinking ability.

On the contrary, if parents criticize, reprimand and ridicule the words of their children's children, it is essentially killing their imagination and killing the innovation of their future thinking.

Every child is born a visionary and a dreamer. This ability is a gift and the foundation that can help him achieve success and a happy life in adulthood. Children's speech, children's speech, children's imagination, these are all a stage that children must go through when they grow up. Parents should not use the evaluation standards of adults to ask their children, but should fit their children's current water quality and find ways to improve their development. By treating the child reasonably, we can cultivate his exploratory, positive and independent personality.
