How to correctly cultivate children's living habits and self-care ability

Preschool education is the most formal enlightenment education that people first come into contact with, and kindergarten teachers are the enlighteners for children to get in touch with society and learn to live. Therefore, preschool teachers are undoubtedly one of the most important influencing factors in children's life growth stage. As a kindergarten teacher, it is very important to start from the foundation, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and give reasonable education according to their age characteristics and personality characteristics, so that children can form good living habits and independent self-care ability in their growth stage.

First, the scientific nature of cultivating children's self-care ability

Self-care ability: In short, self-service and self-care are the most basic life skills that a person should possess. Traditional early childhood education only pays attention to the development of children's intelligence and imparting knowledge, such as teaching a few children's songs, reciting a few Tang poems, taking care of children's eating, drinking and sleeping, and paying more attention to the degree of love and care, while ignoring the observation and guidance of children. Some teachers think that letting children do things independently often backfires, adding more unnecessary troubles, preferring to do it themselves rather than letting go, and not creating opportunities for children to exercise independently. This will inevitably inhibit the formation of children's independent ability, so that they can develop bad habits of dependence, laziness and no independent innovation in the process of growing up without exercise.

At present, more and more children come from one-child families. They are the treasures of parents at home, and they are the little emperors and princesses in the eyes of grandparents. They are spoiled by their parents, who have the final say in everything, which seriously restricts the healthy development of children's body and mind.

It can be seen that it is particularly important to cultivate children's self-care ability and good living habits. We can only provide them with some opportunities for self-reliance and self-improvement according to their age characteristics and personality characteristics, and carry out gradual education in their lives, so that they can feel the joy of success brought by autonomy and self-struggle, improve and establish self-confidence, and finally master good independent living skills.

Second, children's living habits and self-care ability training requirements and strategies

Cultivating children's living habits and self-care ability is a long-term and complicated project. For example, for small children who have just entered the park, they should be able to put on simple clothes, eat independently, go to bed on time, and form a sense of doing things by themselves. After children have a preliminary sense of self-care, it is much easier to consolidate and cultivate children's good living habits such as eating, sleeping, washing and urinating. For the large class children who are about to enter primary school, they should be encouraged to eat independently, sleep independently, take a bath regularly, change clothes frequently and keep the environment clean within their power. Therefore, the cultivation of children's good living habits and self-care ability can not be separated from teachers' scientific education plans and advanced education concepts. Teachers should raise their awareness ideologically, incorporate the cultivation of self-care ability into the education and teaching work plan, carry out education and training step by step and in a planned way, create a free and open activity environment for children, let children exercise themselves anytime and anywhere in their daily lives, gradually master the basic self-care ability and develop good living habits.

Third, carry out a variety of activities to stimulate children's interest in learning and self-care ability.

Children are naturally lively and active. To make them concentrate and have a strong interest in learning, it is necessary to make use of rich regional activities and integrate the education of self-care ability into regional game activities, so that children can be subtly influenced in a relaxed and happy game atmosphere, and practice makes perfect. For example, children's interest can be aroused by dressing dolls, comparing whose hands and faces are washed more cleanly, and who will clean up the doll's house. You can also promote children's practical ability under the scientific guidance of teachers through special dressing and undressing competitions. Seize every opportunity to exercise children in life, practice repeatedly in a planned and step-by-step manner, broaden children's training channels and improve their level. For example, guide children to wash their hands actively before meals every day, take off their shoes before taking a nap, tidy up, try to wear shoes after getting up, learn to peel when eating fruit, and establish many awards such as "putting shoes on your baby" and "dressing yourself really well" to stimulate children to keep learning and working hard.

Fourth, carry out targeted education and guidance according to children's different personality characteristics and abilities.

Different children's personality characteristics will be influenced by different family education backgrounds, which will inevitably reflect greater individual differences. Therefore, in practice, we should pay full attention to the personality characteristics of different children, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and realize the individualized development of children. Although children stand on the same starting line at first, their abilities are bound to be different due to differences in personality and family environment. Therefore, teachers should find out whether the differences between children are sexual problems or personality problems. If it is caused by family doting education, teachers can improve children's self-care ability through collective education and strengthening. If it is a personality problem, it is necessary to take individual counseling and key help, let the children bathe in warm encouragement and affectionate care, enhance their self-confidence and improve their self-care ability. For example, at the beginning of a small class, teachers can group children by sticking fruit cards. Several teachers work together, some take children to the toilet, some take children to drink water, and some take children to wash their hands. This is not only convenient for teachers to understand children's self-care ability, but also convenient for them to master their progress. After a period of time, you can also compare which baby is more capable and set an example through the form of competition games, thus forming a good atmosphere of good living habits and independent self-care ability.

In addition, a good educational effect needs the strong support of parents. Reggio advocates a concept: "Children speak a hundred languages". Teachers should lead parents to learn new ideas, let go of their children's hands and feet, truly return their freedom to their children, cooperate with their families, and jointly cultivate children's independent living ability and good living habits.

In short, in preschool education, only by stimulating children's interest in learning with rich educational forms, carrying out activities of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and establishing parents' good sense of cooperation can children really form good living habits, improve their self-care ability, and lay a solid foundation for their independence in future life.
