Caring for students' health requires keeping in touch with their families. Most of my conversations with parents (especially parents of grade one or two students) are about children's health. I explained to my parents that the school wouldn't give students homework. Children will recite rules and definitions in class. Students mainly do some exercises at home in order to help them understand the textbooks in depth. In addition, children read, draw pictures, observe natural phenomena, write short compositions about things and phenomena around the world, and recite some short poems they like. Extracurricular mental work should not make children too tired, but it is impossible without mental work. There is a discussion that homework can be completely cancelled due to the improvement of classroom teaching methods, which is not worth taking seriously. This statement does not reflect the real purpose and law of teaching, because it is impossible to concentrate all the children's mental work in three or four hours of class time.
Parents promise to let their children participate in outdoor activities as much as possible, go to bed early and get up early, and sleep with the transom open. I made an agreement with my parents: let the children sleep completely outdoors in the whole summer and in the warmer spring and autumn. Parents set up special "sleeping corners" for their children on the haystack or under the rain shelter. The children are very happy about it. In every family with students, a pavilion will be built in the orchard or garden next to the house. From early spring to late autumn, children can study, draw and rest here. We negotiated this with our parents a few years ago. Senior students help build a gazebo for those children who have no labor at home.
As early as in "Happy School", children have the habit of doing morning exercises. It is important to keep this habit now. I firmly believe that the habit of doing morning exercises should be consolidated in early childhood. Parents train their children to get up at a fixed time. The children regained their spirits after doing morning exercises outdoors. In summer, they are used to bathing in the lake. In addition, many parents have installed shower devices in the yard and orchard, so that their children can take a bath for six months (May to September). This has formed a firm habit of children. You can also scrub the upper body with cold water indoors in winter. I also pay attention to let those children with some congenital defects (such as hunchback, asymmetry of trunk and face) often do morning exercises and take a bath. A person should be not only healthy, but also beautiful; This kind of beauty is inseparable from the harmonious development of health and body.
Childhood nutrition determines the coordination and symmetry of all parts of the body and the normal development of bone tissue, especially the chest. Years of observation show that the lack of minerals and vitamins in food will lead to the uncoordinated development of some parts of bones and have a lifelong impact on people's physique. In order to prevent this, I pay attention to make students' diet contain enough vitamins and combine vitamins and minerals in food.
Our observation and special investigation in recent years have reached a worrying conclusion: 25% preschool children don't eat breakfast (they say they don't want to eat it in the morning); 30% children eat less than half of the breakfast required for normal nutrition; 23% children eat half the breakfast they need; Only 22% students' diet is up to standard. After several classes in a row, the child who didn't eat breakfast felt sick and dizzy in the abdomen. After the students came home, they didn't eat for hours, but they didn't have a good and healthy appetite. Parents often report that their children refuse to eat ordinary healthy foods (vegetable soup, sweet potato soup, porridge, milk, etc.). ), but picky eaters, want to eat something "delicious".
Loss of appetite is a serious threat to health, and it is also the root of physical discomfort and disease. The main reasons are: sitting in a sultry classroom for several hours, engaging in monotonous mental work, lacking a variety of outdoor activities. In short, under the state of "hypoxia", children breathe air containing a lot of carbon dioxide all day. Years of observation have also led me to another worrying conclusion: students sitting in a house full of carbon dioxide for a long time will cause diseases of endocrine glands, which play a great role in food digestion. At the same time, the disease will become a chronic disease, and no treatment will work. Another reason for digestive system diseases is that some parents give their children all kinds of snacks, especially sweets, in order to arouse their appetite. Eliminating "hypoxia" and establishing a reasonable ventilation system are one of the important prerequisites for caring about students' health.
In the harmonious development of children, everything is interrelated. Health also depends on what homework teachers give children and how and when they finish them. The emotional color of independent work at home also played a big role. If a child is unwilling to pick up a book, it will not only suppress his mental strength, but also have a bad influence on the complex system of organ-tube interaction in the body. I know many such cases: when children do their homework bored, their digestive function is seriously reduced, and finally gastrointestinal diseases appear.
We spend all kinds of holidays outdoors and in nature. We hiked, took a break and went to the Woods. Play all kinds of games ... in the first winter vacation, all the children learned to ski, and we played snowballs. Syracuse Working outdoors in winter is an important source of health. In the mild cold season (below minus 10 degree), 8-year-old children work 2 hours a week, 9 10-year-old children work 3 hours a week, and 1 1 year-old children work 4 hours a week. They wrap the trunk with reed leaves, carry snow with small stretchers to protect plants from winter, and so on. This kind of outdoor work is the best way to exercise and prevent colds. During the summer vacation, children go hiking in grasslands, fields and Woods. The direct contact with nature in recent months is not only beneficial to improving health, but also beneficial to children's intellectual development. Throughout August, the first-grade children spent their time in orchards and pastures on collective farms, and the second-grade children spent their time in melon gardens. At the turn of summer and autumn, the air in rural areas is particularly rich in phytoncide. If you want children who are prone to colds, lung diseases and rheumatism to get exercise, let them talk outdoors all day and all night during the summer vacation!
When we finished the third grade, we spent the summer vacation in the vineyard near Guayuan. Children work in plantations: helping adults put grapes in baskets. In the morning and evening, they bathe in the lake. The children came up with an interesting game: in their imagination, three ships became a whaling fleet and a small lake became an ocean. We went out to investigate and look for whales. Here, we make reed flutes and call our music group every night. We play folk songs and music melodies about summer nights, thunderstorms, crimson skies, mysterious whirlpools beside the barrage, migratory birds and so on. Music enters our spiritual life year after year. No matter where children rest, they can listen to the works of famous composers and folk songs recorded on tape anytime and anywhere.
After the fourth grade summer vacation, the children rested on the grassland, near an oak forest on the shore of the lake. They built several shacks with branches and covered them with straw. My parents helped us build a bathroom and a kitchen. Now the children help the cook cook, and we go back to the village to transport bread, potatoes, fish, milk and vegetables. We take care of 20 calves and two horses. The children herd cattle during the day and drive them to the barn by the lake at night. All the children in the village have learned to ride horses and carry food. In this matter, there is a strict order: because everyone wants to ride other kilometers. I'm glad that Volodya, Sanjay and Jina have become excellent riders, and riding has improved their health.
All the children bathe in the blue lake and learn to swim. I chose a safe place for the children to bathe, and only took one child across the lake at a time.
Those days during mowing made us feel particularly happy. We help adults to dry grass and make hay piles. At night, we sleep on tall hay piles. It is this moment that fascinates children most: everyone wants to hear some stories about the stars and the distant world. Under the starry sky, the children felt that they were face to face with the universe and kept asking the teacher questions: "Where did all these earth, sun and stars come from?" I believe that only when the beauty and greatness of nature arouse children's surprise and admiration, and occupy their reason and emotion. Only in this way can such problems appear in children's consciousness. The infinite truth of the universe is the most difficult for children to understand. I remember that the children were shocked and speechless when they heard the truth. They try to imagine what infinity is, but they can't. That night, the children could not sleep for a long time. I'm afraid more than one person has dreamed of many distant suns and planets. The next day, children often return to the question they never forget: what is infinity? For my students, this question has never lost its amazing new meaning in all their student lives.
I have attached great importance to sports competitions since my students entered school. With the help of senior students, we equipped the playground and planted some swings. We always have enough balls. Children have been playing table tennis since the second grade. Some children like throwing discus and shot put, while others like climbing poles and ropes.
Children walk barefoot all summer, even on rainy days. I think this is a very important means of physical exercise. In grade one or two, three people in my class caught a cold, but they never gave birth once in grade three or four.
I think it is particularly important to exercise against all kinds of colds. For many years, this problem has been puzzling people: when the weather changes sharply, almost half of the children sneeze, and even if the children's body temperature does not rise, they can't study normally in this morbid state. There is no specific medicine for colds. Medicine has proved that many colds are not infectious diseases, but the sensitive body's response to the rapid changes in the surrounding environment. Years of experience have proved that feet are particularly sensitive. If a person's feet are afraid of catching cold, it is easy to catch a non-infectious cold. We have formed a set of physical exercise methods in our education work, starting with exercising our feet (of course, we also pay attention to the children's general condition). To exercise your feet, you don't need to set a certain time limit or do special exercises. The required knowledge should always follow the general system. Don't let children get used to staying in a warm environment, and don't worry too much about them, which will weaken their resistance. If children are not allowed to walk barefoot in summer, it is useless to take a bath or wipe their bodies with a wet towel.
In this way, my child graduated from primary school. On the last day of summer vacation, after taking a bath in the lake, they gathered on the green grass, looking strong, tanned and beautiful. They are all 1 1 years old, but they look as strong as 12, 13 years old. Even Dan Muke, who has always been called "Tiny", is taller than many fifth-grade students.
The doctor will give the child eyesight and cardiopulmonary examination several times a year. Four children's eyesight decreased in grade one, two children in grade two, and all of them returned to normal in grade three. Facts have proved that vision loss is not an eye disease, but the result of the disharmony between children's physical development and mental development.
