Teachers' Essay on Education: Listening to Children's Hearts

Listening is a kind of accommodation and understanding.

Listening is a kind of recognition and appreciation.

Karl, a German educator? Witt said:? I think listening is a very good way of education. Because listening is a sign of respect and concern for children, and it also urges children to know their own abilities. If a child feels that he can freely express his opinions on anything, and his knowledge has not been despised and ridiculed, he will express his opinions without hesitation, first at home, then at school, and he will be able to face up to and deal with problems confidently and courageously at work in the future. ?

I once read a story: linklater, a famous American host, visited a child one day and asked him. What do you want to be when you grow up? The child naively replied:? Hmm? I want to be an airplane pilot! ? Linklater then asked:? What would you do if one day, all the engines died when your plane flew over the Pacific Ocean? The child thought for a moment and said:? I will tell the people sitting on the plane to fasten their seat belts first, and then I will hang up my parachute and jump first. ? The audience at the scene had already laughed, but linklater stared at the child to see if he was a smart guy, so he waited patiently and listened to the child. Unexpectedly, the child burst into tears. Linklater asked? Why are you doing this? The child's answer reveals a child's sincere thoughts:? I'm going to get the fuel, and I want it back! I want to come back! ?

linklater, the host, is different in that he can let the children finish their sentences. When the audience at the scene laughed? Still maintained the kindness, peace and patience that the listener should have, which made linklater hear the kindest, purest and clearest heart of this child. A pure and kind child. The heart has been released in speech and cared for in listening. This is a poetic exchange.

Listening and refusing to listen, two completely different attitudes, also get two completely different results. In fact, if you think about it carefully, education is sometimes as simple as a quiet listening full of goodwill, understanding and trust.

For some time, I don't know what happened in the class with my children. I can't enjoy the fun of the class and the joy of sincere communication with the children more and more. In the past, the collision with children's wisdom, emotional communication and tacit understanding of the soul seemed to be getting farther and farther away from me. The performance of the students disappointed me? You are listless in class, and you raise a few small hands sporadically when answering questions. What's wrong with you? Don't concentrate, use your head! ? I was anxious to remind them loudly and reprimand them. They looked at me blankly, but their performance did not improve. I was very anxious. I think since the two sides of the contradiction are me and the students, instead of being depressed and annoyed here, why not bend down and listen to the children's voices?

So I found a noon time and wanted to talk to the children in my class. The children really want to talk to me, but it obviously takes a long time for them to talk to me one by one. I figured out a way for the classmate who wanted to talk to me to take out a piece of paper. Write what you want to say on paper. The children couldn't wait to take out the paper and began to swish. After a while, the children finished writing, and the group leader began to receive the note. Hey! That's a lot. One for each person. I began to savor it carefully.

　? Teacher, assign less homework in the future; Teacher, keep your voice down in class, it will hurt your throat if you are too big; Teacher, you should pay more attention to rest and don't be too tired; Teacher, you should drink more boiled water, so that your voice will feel better

? Teacher, I don't want you to give us lessons with a straight face every day. I like to see your smile and your bright smile. We will be happy all day. Teacher, you have worked hard. I will study hard and won't let you down. Trust me and see my future performance! Teacher, don't get angry easily, it will hurt your health. ?

I'm so happy to read the children's truth. The truth of the child aroused my self-awakening. I thought I was not bad, very? Majestic? But children don't accept it from the heart. Children are admired for not having a straight face, and they need a friend-style teacher, a big friend who can communicate with them often and talk from the heart. Always put yourself in the other's shoes and bend down to talk to the children.

The new curriculum reform clearly stipulates that teachers should be good at crouching down to appreciate students, listen to students, learn from them and grow up with them. ? Get down? It is a sign of the maturity of excellent teachers. Only when you crouch down can you really see the colorful world in your child's eyes and truly feel that your child's heart is the truest, best and most beautiful in the world. We must be good at crouching down to appreciate children, listening to children, learning from children, and growing up with children!
