Ask the children ~ Why do you come to kindergarten? To learn and to play. Which is better?" "To learn and play alone or to learn and play together? Which is better?" The children said in unison - it is better for all of us to learn and play together.
Again, do you have any friends? We all raised our hands; are friends very important? "So we led the children to recite a children's song on "making friends", "Making friends - having few friends is so annoying, no one to play with, it's really boring. I want to make friends and play with them for a long time."
What should I do when I study and play with my friends? We all want to love each other, but we just can't. In kindergarten, children are happy to make good friends with the same interests and play together. In kindergarten, it is a happy thing for children to make good friends who share the same interests and play together; however, as the saying goes, "where there are people, there are disputes", even for children, there will inevitably be disputes and conflicts.
Disputes are everyday
This week we had our usual routine, but we also had some classroom tiffs between children. One child poured water from a kettle into a classmate's backpack, and the other child swung a lunch bag into someone else's hand.
After the parents informed and the teachers furthered their understanding, they apologized and made up with each other. However, as parents, it is inevitable that they will be worried about their children's situation in kindergarten. Therefore, the principal would like to take this opportunity to share some of her experience to help parents understand how to handle their children's interpersonal interactions in kindergarten appropriately.
Disputes between children are inevitable, but the focus is on learning.
Interaction with peers is an important part of a child's development. Conflicts and disputes are part of human interaction, and the key is for children to learn to understand each other's feelings and learn respect, communication and empathy.
Timing of Teacher and Parent Involvement
When there is a dispute between children, whether and how adults intervene can have a big impact on children's learning. If the dispute is minor, children can usually resolve it on their own, and this is an opportunity for them to learn social skills.
However, when there is a sudden promotion or when a child's safety and psychological state are affected, it is important for teachers and parents to intervene in a timely manner to help the children understand each other's thinking and to guide them to express and resolve their problems in an appropriate way.
Sources of stress for children
Sometimes, a child's emotional behavior in the nursery is not necessarily due to the dispute at hand, but may also come from other pressures, such as the expectations of teachers or classmates, or even the emotional impact of the atmosphere at home.
When children come home and talk about what happened in kindergarten, parents can observe, listen patiently, and guide them to talk about their feelings instead of rushing to judge or solve the problem.
Don't listen to one side of the story, face-to-face communication is the most important.
When children come home to tell about school, parents' first reaction is often to be distressed or worried, and sometimes they even blame teachers or other parents in the Line group. Although it is convenient to send messages, it is often impossible to communicate adequately, and may even lead to misunderstandings.
Remember that every child expresses things differently, every child expresses things differently, and even if a child tells the truth, it may only be part of the story.
If you notice that your child is particularly upset about something, it is advisable to communicate further with the teacher or the school to get a full picture of what is going on.
Face-to-face communication not only clears up misunderstandings, but also helps children learn how to solve problems in a peaceful way instead of accumulating negative emotions.
Have a nice holiday. Peace and happiness.
