Most of us are first-time parents. Knowing the characteristics of children at a certain age stage can reduce the blindness in the process of educating children.
Especially when children encounter difficulties and troubles, if parents know that this is not an individual behavior of your children, but a temporary phenomenon at their age, then their hearts will be much more practical.
Moreover, when you know what level the child should develop at this age, you can guide and adapt to the child more, so that you will not be anxious and worried.
But every child is unique and needs to be kept in mind at all times. In the process of getting along with children for a long time, only you know the characteristics of your children best, so it is very important to find the most suitable way to get along with her.
The following is a summary of the ability training and education in the book, which has benefited me a lot. Share it with you!
For children aged 2-3, to sum up, the abilities that need to be cultivated are as follows:
The ability to control your body is greatly enhanced. You can run and jump by yourself, go up and down stairs and jump down lower steps.
But there is still no very fine distinction between the movements of arms, legs, whole body or fingers.
Two-year-old children can't move freely because of their ankles and knees, so their movements are greatly restricted and their walking is not so flexible.
Feet and legs look completely independent as a whole, not two parts that are connected but can move flexibly.
Therefore, there is no need to ask children for regular activities, just run, play and jump naturally with the music. At this time, if you want to learn dance, you should mainly sing and dance, and you can't do standardized movements, so as not to affect your development.
I think self-care ability should be ranked first, and 2-year-old children need to develop many good habits.
Get ready for the kindergarten, such as eating by yourself, going to the toilet by yourself, wearing pants by yourself, and taking off your clothes by yourself.
In life, it is best to let children do some simple housework, such as putting clothes into the washing machine to wash clothes, helping to pick vegetables and wash dishes, washing hands and so on.
We can't follow the children all our lives. We need to let her try something she can do. At this time, children also like to try new things, which is a good opportunity to cultivate their self-care ability and hands-on ability.
In this period, the cultivation of good habits is much more important than how many questions are brushed.
Chinese ability is the foundation of everything, and it can only be improved by reading a lot.
I have been paying attention to this since I was 0 years old, and I have been telling stories with picture books since I was 2 years old.
It can improve children's language ability and let her see the vast world, which has many benefits.
After 2 years old, I will continue to tell the story of picture books, but I need to be more careful when choosing picture books and pay attention to the development of other abilities.
Yan Yan, who likes reading with fewer words and more pictures within 0-2 years old, began to accept some long stories with more words and more pictures. Of course, this length is still limited.
But I like to repeat this as before. When the number of words in picture books increases, it is really a big challenge for my mother, especially after a book has been told several times.
In terms of content, I like stories related to her life scenes, or stories with a little adventure, and adding a little repetition on this basis will be more popular.
This is basically developed from birth.
Mainly playing children's songs and nursery rhymes, my mother and others sang to her. Up to now, she is over two years old. Yan Yan should be able to sing at least ten songs at present, be interested in music, cultivate a sense of rhythm and dance with music.
Of course, high-level music involves music appreciation, but the situation of each family is different. I think it is generally the principle of interest. Parents also like to share with their children what they like to hear. It is most important for parents and children to love each other!
Many people start their English enlightenment at the age of 2, which I think is ok.
Many books emphasize the concept of "acquisition" and internalize it into children's daily life. I think it really makes sense.
Our generation is illiterate in English, so far my spoken English is in a very poor state, and I can't speak a few words when traveling.
It's not how many words a child can recite or how much English he can speak, but mainly to give her a sense of language. I like Chinese, invest a lot, and wait for flowers to bloom.
First of all, we can start with English short words, short sentences and English nursery rhymes to increase the interest of parent-child reading of English picture books. I will write an article about how to enlighten children in English in the future.
You may think, does such a young child need to start learning math?
The answer is necessary, but it is different from what we generally think, mainly the recognition of numbers and the correspondence with actual numbers, as well as the cognition of space, size, length, height, up and down, inside and outside, etc.
Although adults think these are simple, such a big child doesn't understand them.
Every child's language expression is different, and there is a difference between morning and evening. Don't worry too much.
But at this time, she should consciously exercise her expressive ability. If she starts to jump short sentences, then guide her to say short sentences and make a transition to long sentences.
Sometimes, this is a good way to explain and repeat stories in picture books.
Recently, our favorite picture book pig elephant series is very suitable for interpretation. I will guide Yan Yan to repeat the relevant sentences. Or let her tell me a story, although it is very short, but the expression ability has been improved.
In the game, you can also creatively invent some small storylines to guide children to unfold. When she was allowed to play by herself, she also talked to herself. Now sometimes I listen to Yan Yan's writing and performance, which makes me feel very interesting.
Creativity is a bit empty, but it is also very real.
Can run through children's games. Two-year-olds can build their own blocks and houses and tell you what it is and who lives in it. This is creativity.
When she is reading, she will be particularly interested in a certain page and express her unconstrained thoughts in her own short language;
She will use some toys to arrange a simple little scene and story, but these are all related to her own daily experience.
At this time, more encouragement and protection is the best way to stimulate children's creativity.
I don't need to say much about the importance of concentration.
I think it is very important for such a young child to cultivate concentration.
We can find some nuances in our daily life by playing games, and we can also play in reading. For example, we use "who is hiding" now, and children still like to play;
Search for things in big picture books can also be done;
Stickers, paper-cuts, paintings, mazes and puzzles can all exercise children's ability to concentrate.
Some parents don't like their children fooling around and like to raise their children in their own way. But in general, children at this stage can't concentrate on doing this and that for a while, but they will also gain a lot in the process of playing.
