When my son Douding was four years old, I once sat on the bay window to rest. The bay window in our room was facing a road, which just separated the high buildings on both sides, so our room had a wider view.
Because I was working for a day, I felt very tired. I sat by the window and looked outside in a daze. Dou Ding, who was playing with toys next to me suddenly looked at me who was silent and looked out the window with my eyes. "Hey, mom, the moon was bitten by a small animal. "
I looked at the waning moon on the neon lights, laughed, and said to my son, "Yes, it will be round after a few days when it is full." Dou Ding said again: "Then the little rabbit on the moon bites it again, and it will be curved again."
I remembered that once I went back to the countryside, and it happened to be full when the moon was full, everyone was all Sitting at the door chatting, the children were chasing each other. At that time, the adults were watching a bright moon in the dark night discussing the Mid-Autumn Festival barbecue. Dou Ding suddenly sat down next to us and pointed at the moon and said with a little disgust:
"Mom, look at the moon, is it dirty, does it not wash its face?"
Hearing this sentence, the adults laughed loudly, and I responded: "Yes, it must be too hurry to go out and forgot to wash its face."
Dou Ding is a child who doesn't like being restricted, so calling him to go to kindergarten every day is our most difficult task, because every time he wakes up, he has a hundred reasons not to go.
One day, he called him up to go to school as usual, and he had obvious displeasure on his face, and said to me, "Why do you have to go to school today? When can I finish it?"
I said, "Because it's dawn, today is not a weekend, so I have to go to school."
He replied, "Dou Ding hasn't even slept enough. As soon as I closed my eyes, Grandma Moon got off work, and Grandma Sun went to work immediately, and she didn't have time to sleep for me."
I responded, "When winter is when we let the Sun sleep in, don't get up so early, okay?"
In addition to the above three small clips, Dou Ding often uses some interesting words to describe what he sees, which makes me feel that his world is colorful and lively.
The difference between adults and children is because we adults can already clearly know its nouns and understand its operation of certain objects and events in the world. Therefore, when we treat one thing, the first thing that escapes from our minds is its daily explanation, which is mostly fixed terms, so that everything seems ordinary.
However, because children's cognition is not as rich as us, they see everything with their own ideas - the waning moon is one of the processes of the moon's phases, but in Zero's eyes, it is caused by an animal's bite;
The surface of the moon is uneven because of many craters, these craters leave shadows on the moon by the sunlight. On the earth, there will be some black shadows, but the children say that it is because the moon has not washed their faces;
The moon sets and sunrises, which we are used to, is an alternation of commuting in Dou Ding's eyes...
The world in our eyes is objective and three-dimensional, but the world of children is extremely interesting, and the world is anthropomorphic to them.
After having a child, I gradually realized that my beautiful eyes are twice as big as I see. I always smile when I think of some small events.
Children use their language to shape the fairy tale world, and at the same time heal our hearts. We carry too many KPIs in life, which makes it difficult for us to breathe. We have long lost our childlike innocence in the face of everything in the world. Perhaps the most anticipated thing every day is to get off work on time;
But children are different. They are carefree, curious about the world, and are exploring this wonderful world at all times, so everything in the world is particularly charming in their eyes. The world is vivid and cute, just like "If you love, you will be cute everywhere in your life."
Sometimes I wonder if a 4-year-old child should give him more popular science knowledge. I have also tried to tell Dou Ding some popular science articles, of course, it was explained to him when he proposed ten thousand whys. Every time I racked my brains to explain a certain phenomenon to him in easy-to-understand language.
He can listen carefully, so every time I feel that my description is successful this time, and he has already remembered it in his mind. However, the next second he will always break my fantasy, and he will still use his own ideas to remember this phenomenon, and even subtly influence us.
Just like when he learned to speak, he taught him the word "bus" and he always said it "passing the bus". During that time, he often talked about this word, which led to my speech being influenced by him later, and habitually said it "passing the bus is coming."
So how should we instill knowledge into children’s heads?
Thousands of people have a thousand faces. For me, when facing children of this young age, whether it is education or imparting knowledge, we should first enter the fairy tale world of children, talk with friends, and change the literary language into the familiar "children's language".
First achieve equal and effective communication, and then slowly divide the knowledge points we want to transmit into treasure map-like routes, guide them to explore in the way they like in daily life, arouse their interests, and encounter difficulties in the exploration process, and inspire them with the tone of the cartoon characters he likes.
Douding every time he encounters difficulties and starts to be discouraged, I will imitate the Wangwang team and say their slogan "No difficult work, only brave dogs". Basically, he can rekindle his fighting spirit and let him devote himself to the exploration again.
We guide children to explore and lead them to understand the world step by step, and actively respond without destroying their imagination, so that they know that knowledge is not boring or vivid and interesting, rather than forcing them to answer everything in the world like us.
The most rare thing for children to maintain their innocence is. This innocence requires us adults to take care of it. It is indeed difficult to respond to everything, but what we need to do most is not to erase their cuteness.
Cute people must be around them, so that they can always remain cute. In , we look at the world according to the children's thinking, which is a kind of respect for children. It is also a journey of imagination and thinking will brighten, and our thinking will jump a lot, and our hearts will be released because of this. Therefore, we should let this group of lovely flowers of the motherland use innocence to heal our tired hearts and make the world lovely.
