How to help children unleash their potential?

The famous Soviet educator Kapdelev once proposed: \”Children should immerse themselves in nature as early as possible and for a long time, absorb its nutrition, and experience the thoughts and feelings that nature arouses in everyone\’s heart. Children need to see it with their own eyes See the rise and fall of the sun and moon. In a word, it must be integrated with all kinds of phenomena in nature.\” It can be seen that games in the natural environment are very important to children. So, what is the value of children playing in the natural environment? Appropriate external stimulation promotes children\’s physiological development. A suitable environment and rich stimulation in nature can stimulate children\’s desire to participate in sports activities, thereby promoting their physiological development. Games in nature can generally promote physiological development, mainly because various indicators in the natural environment (such as gas composition, gas temperature, etc.) are more suitable for the healthy development of children\’s bodies than artificial environments; games that use the natural environment as the background are more suitable for the healthy development of children\’s bodies than artificial environments. Games that use artificial environments as the background can provide rich, dynamic and relatively soft stimulation, which can better promote children\’s innate curiosity and desire to participate in sports, thus motivating children to participate in sports activities and thereby promoting physiological development. . Take lawns and artificial plastic lawns as examples. The former has the smell of life and changes with the sunshine and the seasons. It itself is a source of stimulation that stimulates children\’s inner desire to explore; while the latter is just an inanimate existence. The static nature (such as the color does not change with the seasons, the grass does not grow, etc.) is difficult to stimulate children\’s innate curiosity and desire to explore. How to raise children who can appreciate the sense of responsibility and mission 20G [mp4+mp3] Many human sports come directly or indirectly from nature, which is inseparable from nature as a rich source of stimulation. Children\’s development begins more with sensory stimulation. Play in nature can provide children with rich and comprehensive sensory stimulation, thereby supporting the development of children\’s senses and the healthy development of their brains. Taking children playing football on the lawn as an example, children can feel the weight of the football, the smell of the grass, the temperature of the grass, the touch of the grass on the skin, the touch of the wind on the skin, the touch of the sun on the body, etc. Diverse situations stimulate children\’s desire to explore. The reason why natural games are better than any other games is because they appear in early childhood and can naturally stimulate children\’s inner curiosity about exploration and experimentation, and then express their inner diverse ideas. . Put children alone in the natural environment and face the diversity of living or non-living things around them. Even a stone or a leaf can become a child\’s toy. The diverse social interaction scenarios created by the natural environment setting can form a large number of imaginative games and stimulate children\’s imagination and observation skills. Take the children\’s folded paper boat \”sailing\” in a small pond as an example. The children prepare the paper themselves, fold the boat, place it on the water, and make the boat \”sail\” by stirring the water around them. Children need to consider the requirements of water on paper. If the paper is too porous, the ship\’s \”voyage\” time will be shorter; if the paper is too hard, the ship will sink easily. You also need to consider the water environment. There may be aquatic plants in front of the ship\’s \”long voyage\”, there will be rocks protruding from the water, etc., which requires children to control the direction of their own water. When there is a breeze, the \”sailing\” of the ship is relatively stable; in the face of sudden strong winds, children need to consider the paper of the ship, the strength of the water transfer, the direction, etc. When the ship \”sails\” deviates from the direction, the direction of the ship can be moved with the help of wooden bars, water can be moved from the side of the ship, or water can be moved from various angles. In short, if the ship needs to \”sail\” to successfully reach its destination, the various changing factors involved require children to concentrate and give full play to their imagination to deal with various problems encountered. By playing in nature, children can accumulate a lot of sensory experience and some related knowledge about nature. Take children\’s experience and knowledge of water-related perceptions as an example: children play water games in nature and can learn about the color, smell, state, and weight of water, as well as the shape of water splashes at different flow rates, etc. Children playing snowball fights or skating outdoors can learn that water can form substances such as snow, ice, frost, fog, and water vapor under certain conditions. The experience and knowledge about nature accumulated by children during the game not only prepares them for formal learning and acceptance of related knowledge, but also promotes their motivation to further deepen related learning. An open natural environment promotes children’s social development. In a natural environment, it is easier to attract a large number of children of different ages and genders to participate in games in the same place. This kind of diverse and open environment can better stimulate close social interactions and diverse emotional expressions among children than an environment without a natural background. Children can also accumulate preliminary knowledge from such a \”small society\”. social perception and knowledge. From this point of view, games in nature not only satisfy children’s contact with the natural environment, but also satisfy children’s need for contact with the social environment, in order to achieve what Dewey believed: “Children’s instincts also need to interact with people to develop. Therefore, when educating children, we should not only let them come into contact with the natural environment, but also let them come into contact with the social environment. Only in this way can children\’s knowledge, morals, habits and other aspects have the opportunity to be inspired and developed.\” The open natural environment inspires creative action in children of no skill level. Take children flying kites as an example. On an empty lawn, children who do not recognize each other gather together to fly kites. There are experienced people and beginners among them. Experts can fly their own kites freely and are willing to show and share their skills and happiness with beginners. Due to the openness of the environment, beginners will feel less group pressure due to their low technical level, and they will not feel a greater sense of inferiority or timidity. On the contrary, it can stimulate the desire of beginners to improve their own skill level, so that children can learn from each other naturally and easily. Moreover, when children play in nature, they feel less peer pressure or pressure from parents than when playing in other places; children can follow their inner world to explore the outside world with the self-confidence brought by the natural environment. world. These can improve children\’s attention to a certain extent and promote the normal development of cognitive functions.. Diverse and rich experiences improve children\’s life experience. Nature\’s mountains, rivers, vegetation, birds, animals, insects, and fish all have unparalleled beauty. They are the source of all beauty and living water. They can arouse people\’s yearning for beautiful things without decoration and can inspire people\’s soul. The joy and the nourishment of life. When children are exposed to nature, they can naturally feel its beauty and aura, develop a simple taste, and establish an aesthetic foundation oriented toward touching life. Take the example of children playing with sand on the beach and playing with sand in an artificial environment. When the sand is transplanted into a container, it has lost its original natural atmosphere. In this way, although it is the same kind as the sand on the beach, Material, but in a completely different sense. For children, the sand in the container is just sand, it is just a material existence; and the sand on the seashore, at the moment when the child faces the sea, the sand, the sea, the sky, the white clouds, etc. constitute an artistic conception. A profound artistic conception that can bring him spiritual realization. The aesthetic experience formed and enhanced by children playing in nature will have a certain impact on the formation of children\’s aesthetics and their career choices as adults. Moreover, playing games in nature can stimulate children\’s desire to protect nature, thereby promoting the sustainable development of nature. Through a large number of personal experiences in nature, children can gain an intuition for the development of natural creatures, which can inspire children to continue to explore and protect nature because of their care for nature in their future lives. Take the firefly game played by rural children in the summer as an example. In the summer evening, several children catch fireflies together, and then place the captured fireflies in a glass bottle to watch as a \”night light\”. In this process, children initially learn about the life habits of fireflies. For example, fireflies come out to be active at night and usually live in places with a lot of water and grass. They understand the fragility of fireflies\’ lives and feel the romance and poetry that fireflies bring to humans. When children grow up and have the opportunity to learn or explore more about this life and the value it brings to mankind, their early experiences with fireflies will stimulate their enthusiasm. When they understand that when environmental pollution is serious or the ecology is imbalanced, this animal that brings romantic imagination to humans cannot survive, this will inspire them to care for nature.
