A post-80s mother who has a female treasure at home, likes to write and read, like to share her parenting experience, mothers who like me can follow me.
Introduction: Regarding Montessori education, it is mentioned that children before the age of six have four important characteristics. Among them are the sensitive periods that we are most familiar with, which all children must experience when they grow up. As a parent, it is best not to interfere.
1. Sensitive period
A child in a sensitive period is actually exploring the world to learn. If you stop him and do not get full play, his learning ability will decline after the sensitive period. Instead, it is better to use the sensitive period to promote his learning.
When the child reaches out and touches, it is his sensitivity in all kinds of exploration. The child explores the world in her own way, which will be boring for adults, but the child is learning in the process of repetition . Children like to put things in their mouths and taste them for a long time. This is to perceive things they have never seen before.
2. Order sensitive period
When a child is sensitive to order, it is a terrible thing.
The child's observation ability is very keen, he can see where the order is out of order. For adults, this behavior of children seems very stubborn, because I can’t always keep it somewhere, but for children, everything must be in some position. Once they change, they will feel that they don’t. Comfortable, may cry.
For example, whose thing belongs to who owns, there is something on the table that has been put elsewhere, and you must take it back.
Children are naturally sensitive to order, and don’t disrupt them if they know this behavior.
3. Internal orientation
In addition to being sensitive to external order, he also has a sense of order in the body, requiring his body to conform to certain laws. For example, a child’s mother is very happy to bathe him every day. But one day another person bathed the child, and he became restless and desperate. It turned out that one of the actions of the mother was to support the child's head with her right hand and bathe the child with her left hand.
4. Children's intellectual development is done by themselves
When a child does things, parents don’t have to tell him, he will judge through his own efforts.
Parents always discourage their children, such as staying quiet and making noise. For example, if a child wants to dress by himself, the parent will say that you dress too slowly, and then help him to dress. When the child combs his hair, the parents worry about combing the hair in a mess and helping the child comb it.
In fact, these are all trivial things. Children learn by exploring on their own. Parents should not always prevent their children from developing normally. Look after him within the safety of your child and let him explore.
Does your child also have these sensitive orders?
