I always hear some parents discussing that their children are becoming more and more disobedient recently! Actually, this is a characteristic of the sensitive period in children. The so-called sensitive period refers to the process in which children, driven by their inner vitality, concentrate on absorbing the characteristics of a certain thing in the environment during a certain period of time, and continuously repeat the practice during the growth process from 0 to 6 years old. So, how to capture children's sensitive period?
Children who have fully developed during the sensitive period have clear minds, broad thinking, strong sense of security, and can deeply understand the characteristics and essence of things. The sensitive period is not only a critical period for children's learning, but also a critical period that affects their spiritual and personality development. If their inner needs are not met, or if parents and teachers do not provide the necessary environment and conditions, children's minds will become disordered, easily lose their temper, and even become irritable. Therefore, adults should respect the behaviors and actions given to children by nature and provide necessary assistance. To avoid missing out on the once-in-a-lifetime special vitality. To capture the sensitive period of children, parents should do the following.
1. Respect children as capable individuals. Children are born with the ability to learn, and they will follow the natural laws of growth to constantly grow into more capable individuals.
2. Carefully observe the occurrence of sensitive periods. The timing of each child's sensitive period is not the same, so parents must carefully observe their child's inner needs and individual traits.
3. Create a rich learning environment. When a sensitive period is observed in children, efforts should be made to prepare an environment that meets their growth needs.
4. Encourage children to explore freely and try bravely. When children gain respect and trust, they will freely explore and try in the environment.
5. Timely assistance without intervention. When children are enthusiastic about things they are interested in, adults should let them do it themselves and avoid intervention. However, it is not to abandon children completely, but to provide timely assistance and guidance.
