Conditions for children to eat happily, so that children can eat happily.

First, can children talk while eating? "Don't talk while eating." This is what our kindergarten teacher said to the children the most when eating. Moreover, in order to ensure the children to eat quietly, the teacher kept changing methods. For example, "Who is talking while eating?" "What should I do when I eat?" "If someone talks loudly at dinner, the teacher will get angry." "Let's see who is the quietest at dinner." Therefore, eating quietly has become a routine and law that children must abide by when eating. And when someone asks, "Can kindergarten children chat while eating?" When asking this question, many teachers and nurses are still full of contradictions and worries: "If they are not allowed to talk secretly now, if the children are really allowed to talk, can the rice still be eaten?" "When eating, I really let the children talk while eating. Can we afford something wrong? " It can be seen that "children are not allowed to talk while eating" has become a deep-rooted concept in the hearts of medical staff.

2. Investigation and discussion on "children can chat while eating"

With doubts and confusion, we decided to listen to the real thoughts of parents and children. To this end, we randomly selected 30 parents of children in large classes and conducted a questionnaire survey. 29 valid questionnaires were collected. The question and answer of the survey are: (1) Do you think children need to chat while eating? Most parents think that chatting while eating will affect their appetite, so it is not appropriate to develop good eating habits, and even choking is not conducive to digestion. 2. Do you chat while eating at home? Will the children participate in the chat? What do you usually talk about? Most parents answer and chat while eating at home. Most children also chat with their parents, and generally talk about some interesting things in life.

So, do children want to chat when they eat in kindergarten? In this regard, we organized the children to have a conversation through chatting, so as to understand the children's real thoughts.

Situation 1 Teacher: Do you want to talk over dinner? —— Chu Fan: I want to talk about something interesting. Wu Dong: I want to talk, but I will whisper. Jiahao: No, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by the teacher because my voice is too high. Wang Shiyu: I really want to talk when I eat. Speaking of kindergarten at home, I want to talk about my family with my good friends when I eat in kindergarten. Tong Dongsen: I don't want to talk when I eat, because the teacher won't let me eat when I talk. Everyday: I don't want to talk. When I talk while eating, rice grains will fall, get stuck, and the rice will get cold. Qian Yu: Eat quickly and talk to you when the food is finished.

Situation 2: Everyone doesn't talk when eating. What do you think? Fan Fan: Well, I want to eat quietly. Yang Yang: No, I want to speak softly. Chineydy: Not good. I like to talk when I eat. Zeyu: I'm not happy to eat quietly. Liu Huiyan: I like to eat quietly. My parents and grandparents don't talk when they eat. Xixi: I like to eat quietly. I feel good when I eat quietly. Jia Jia: Eat quietly and eat quickly. The food won't get cold. You won't get sick. Dongdong: I like to eat quietly, so there will be no noise in the classroom. The teacher will praise me.

Situation 3: How would you feel if you could talk while eating? Everyday: comfortable and happy. Wang Xinrui: Very happy, very happy, but keep your voice down. Lele: You can speak softly. I am going to eat soon. Longlong: It will be more fun to chat while eating. Zhao Houchen: Eat with good friends. Talking while eating will make you happier, just like playing a game.

Third, the thinking and practice of "children can chat while eating"

For a long time, teachers have formed a routine of "quiet eating" from the perspective of children's safety. But think about it. This routine fully considers the characteristics of children's physical development, but ignores the needs of children's psychological development. It can be seen from the children's conversations that most children are eager to talk while eating. Even if some children think they can't chat, they are actually giving in to the pressure of the teacher. One is to get the teacher's praise, and the other is not to talk to avoid being criticized by the teacher. In fact, compared with our own behavior in real life, aren't we adults used to talking while eating? The key is how to effectively guide children's eating behavior.

Dining is a very important part of children's life. Studies show that keeping children happy during meals can not only stimulate their appetite and help them digest food, but also encourage them to develop good dining habits. The Outline also points out: "Kindergartens should provide healthy and rich living and activity environment for children, meet their various development needs, and make them gain experiences beneficial to their physical and mental development in a happy childhood." Then, as a teacher, how can children keep a happy mood and form a good order when eating? We tried the following methods:

1 Let the children talk before meals. Before eating, children usually do some pre-meal preparation. At this time, teachers can arrange a period of time to chat with children, let them listen to stories, music and some cartoons they like, and satisfy their desire to chat in a free chat. With the growth of age, children in large classes gradually enhance their understanding and control ability. On the premise of satisfying children's desires, they will explain the truth to their children when eating. Slowly, they will know when to chat and when not to chat.

The teacher talked to the children at dinner. In most kindergartens, teachers and children eat together. We found that when eating together, if teachers and children can communicate in a way suitable for children, children will be very happy. For example, when eating every day, the teacher can introduce the names of dishes to the children, and then let the children talk about the nutrition of these dishes. For children who are picky eaters and slow to eat, teachers can encourage them in a gamification way. For example, "Your mouth is like a big tiger. You eat so fast. " "The white rabbit likes carrots best, because carrots are rich in nutrition, and children should learn from the white rabbit." Sometimes, the teacher's eating mood will also affect the children, so the teacher should eat happily himself. Children in small classes often talk to themselves when eating, saying, "The food in kindergarten is really delicious, which is better than anything cooked by my mother." "Mom said let me have a good meal, and he will pick me up first." "Teacher, I won the first place for dinner today!" In this case, the teacher should let the children express themselves heartily and give them a positive response. In practice, we also feel that children need a relaxed atmosphere when eating, and proper communication will enable children to fully enjoy the warmth of home and the happiness when eating.

3 Let the children make their own rules. Enhance the self-control ability of middle and large class children and form a certain sense of rules. In practice, we feel that forcing children not to talk while eating can only have a short-term effect. It is better to discuss with them what to pay attention to when eating than to restrict them from talking. So, we made an attempt in the big class, and let the children find the problems by themselves. For example, "What happens when you talk loudly and have fun while eating?" Some children said, "The rice dropped a lot." "The table and floor are not very clean." "Some children eat and chat, which will affect their meals." In view of the above problems, we organize children to discuss how to ensure a good meal and meet everyone's speaking needs. So, the teacher and the children made a rule together: (1) Don't talk before swallowing. (2) Speak in a low voice and don't laugh loudly. (3) Don't talk when eating fish. With such rules, we will let the children abide by them. As a result, not only did the teacher not worry about the problem of children eating before, but most children were able to eat happily. In addition, when eating, we also allow children to eat with good friends. In this way, children can basically obey the rules and chat softly. It can be seen that in the process of making rules independently, children can gradually understand the necessity of obeying rules, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort compared with mandatory management means. In a word, cultivating children's good eating habits requires perseverance, step by step, and more importantly, starting from the details.
