If you don’t know how to educate your child, take him to the vegetable market

Mr. Gu Long wrote in \”The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword\”: If a person is desperate and wants to commit suicide, let him go to the vegetable market. The wet market is the most healing place for many people. I feel like walking around the vegetable market can make me feel better. Because it represents the fireworks in the world. The colorful vegetables and fruits are neatly arranged; the fish and shrimp in the seafood shop are fresh and powerful; the bustling crowd and the simple cries can all give people a sense of reality with their feet on the ground, instead of being blinded by the days. Push away. Moreover, taking your children to the vegetable market every once in a while has many benefits. It is said that \”life is the best classroom\”, and the wet market is a place where children can learn about real life. The vegetable market is an \”encyclopedia of life.\” The vegetable market sells a wide variety of things, including food for eating, swimming in the sea, and picking from trees. . See with your eyes, touch with your hands, smell before putting it to your nose, and some can even taste it in your mouth. It is more real than any observation class. Not only that, the products sold in the wet market also change with the seasons. After visiting a summer vegetable market, my child asked: \”Mom, why are beans, eggplants, and tomatoes sold everywhere?\” Although the dishes in each season are complete, you can still see the differences. \”Because in summer, these vegetables grow best and grow the most. When these vegetables become less available, not every household sells them, and the season changes.\” In winter, the market is full of cabbage and potatoes. Beans, eggplants, and tomatoes have become vegetables that appear in small areas. Products also change with the holidays. When there are lots of rice dumpling leaves and glutinous rice for sale, it means that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. It’s before the Mid-Autumn Festival when mooncakes of various flavors appear. When the vegetable market becomes festive, and Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, and hanging decorations can be seen everywhere, it’s almost the New Year! Putting what they learn from books into reality may not help children score more points in exams, but it will allow them to see the real world and slowly understand and learn to live. Children\’s education can be in the classroom or in the market. Children\’s mathematical enlightenment and literacy enlightenment can all take place in the wet market. The most important thing is not how far they can count, addition and subtraction within 20, or even addition and subtraction within 100, but the enlightenment and cultivation of mathematical thinking. From the first time I took my child to the vegetable market, driven by curiosity, he liked to use his mobile phone to scan codes. Every time he scans the code, I let him enter the numbers himself. At first, I could only lose whole numbers, but now I can also recognize decimals. Later, when I went to the vegetable market, I would bring some cash with me. I could almost recognize the various denominations of RMB, and I could also learn simple arithmetic. If you still want to strengthen it, you can simulate the vegetable market scene at home: learn addition and subtraction with a bag of apples. Recognizing numbers with real objects can help children understand their actual meaning. Prepare a number of RMB in denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 20 and a bag of apples. He sets up a stall to sell apples, and I buy them. Apple is 1 yuan/piece. Using real life scenes to understand addition and subtraction is also to allow children to understand from a specific dimension. To buy 5 apples, I can use 5 1-yuan notes; I can also give him 1 10-yuan note and give him the desired amount in return.Where\’s the money? Should I buy 3 or 8? In this process, numbers and language are combined to describe the things around you and form simple stories. I have 10 yuan and buy 5 apples. How many yuan do I have left? The final step is to use mathematical symbols to represent addition and subtraction. 10-5=5. It’s okay to apply this scenario to life: let your children pay in cash when buying things. When I usually go to the vegetable market, I will read the signboard of each store. There are also labels in the store. Chinese characters are the foundation of Chinese language, and character recognition is a necessary step in growth. The correspondence between Chinese characters and real objects is also an important method for understanding words. It turns out that Chinese characters are not only encountered in study, but also Chinese characters can be seen everywhere in life, such as the word for \”vegetable\”, the word for \”fish\”, the word for \”rice\”, and the word for \”meat\”. Each Chinese character has a history of thousands of years. Only by applying it in daily life can children remember it, not just \”memorize the characters\”. The wet market teaches children the initial concept of money. Many children know how much a lollipop costs and how much a pack of Ultraman cards cost. However, children have no idea how much a pound of vegetables and meat appear on our tables every day. Conceptual. A handful of vegetables may only cost two yuan, and the uncles, aunts, and even grandparents who sell vegetables have to stand there for a long time, relying on one two yuan, two two yuan, three two yuan, or countless two yuan to support the family. . For a family, two yuan can buy a plate of vegetables, and 10 yuan can buy a piece of meat. The daily expenses incurred by a nutritionally balanced meal are indispensable for us every day. Money is earned bit by bit and accumulated bit by bit. Some of the money you spend is necessary, and some you can consider whether to spend. Through this, children can understand how difficult it is for their parents to make money, and they can also value their pocket money more. When shopping, you can train your children\’s independent decision-making ability. Buying vegetables in stores and buying vegetables from stalls can guide children to compare vegetables. What are the differences in price, quality, variety, and richness of vegetables? What kind of vegetables can you choose to buy in the store and what kind of vegetables can you choose to buy at the stall? Can you decide what we are going to eat tonight? If you can’t find vegetables, feel free to ask the boss, or even ask the boss to recommend a reliable place to buy them. Through the child\’s observation, he can already tell what his parents like when buying food, and he can also decide what food to buy based on what he likes and dislikes. When the family sits down to enjoy dinner, he will proudly ask: \”Do you like this dish I picked? It\’s delicious!\” \”It\’s amazing! If you hadn\’t reminded me, I would have forgotten that I could still buy it. This dish is really delicious~\” The wet market teaches children to communicate and communicate with others. The first time the child tried to say \”Auntie, how much does this dish cost?\”, he did experience shyness, struggle, and wanting to withdraw. Now, he can chat with the vegetable stall owners he knows well. Before buying an orange, the boss would always peel one open and let him taste it before deciding whether to buy it or not. Once when he went to buy strawberries, he also wanted to try them, so he asked the boss if he could, but he was refused. Seeing the embarrassment on his face, I quickly explained: \”You can taste oranges, but not strawberries. Do you know why not? You can ask Auntie.\” Auntie didn\’t shy away either:\”Strawberries are too expensive now. If you taste one and he tastes the other, I will lose money.\” You see, it\’s not that Auntie won\’t let you taste it, no one can taste it. It’s okay to be “rejected.” Sometimes, we only want two apples. When the boss puts a big bag for us, we have to bravely say: \”Boss, just weigh two apples.\” Everyone has their own considerations. \”Rejecting others\” is okay. After shopping, give a small bag to the children, share the weight of life together, and then stroll home. We talked and laughed along the way and talked about daily life. Buy groceries carefully, take time to cook, eat well, and teach your children to live a warm life!
