We often find that some students are afraid to write essays, writing essays feel nothing to write, so they have to write down “running accounts”, dry, lack of emotional color; some children reflect the rich and colorful life events around the cold, or do not notice, even general common sense do not know, which is largely due to their lack of observation power This is largely caused by their lack of observation. Observation is an important way for children to understand the world, and observation is a part of children’s psychological development, which is cultivated and developed from childhood. It has been found that children with strong observation skills are significantly more intelligent than those with weak observation skills, so it is important to pay attention to the early development of children’s observation skills. Which how to exercise children’s ability to observe things? 1. Teach children to observe nature: Children’s observation skills are developed in a rich environment, and nature is the best classroom. Parents should often take their children to nature to observe the mountains, water, land, climate, seasons, wind, stars, flowers, trees, birds, animals, fish, insects and other natural scenes and their changes, etc., can greatly improve the child’s observation skills. For example, the river is frozen in winter, but the water in the sea is not frozen; the mountains are bare and gray in winter, but the mountains are lush and green in summer; the spring is warm, the summer is hot, the autumn is fresh, the winter is cold, the north is cold, the south is hot; flowers and trees have different colors, forms and postures, and have the process of germination, maturity and decay. Flowers have blossoms and flowers, trees have leaves and leaves fall; insects have a variety of shapes and forms, and tadpoles will grow into frogs. 2. Teach children to observe objects in life: Our daily life is inseparable from the living objects around us, such as tables, stools, tableware, beds, towels, lamps, TVs, etc.. To allow children to carefully observe and familiar with these items, know the shape of these items, materials and various purposes. For example, most of the teacups are cylindrical, made of ceramic or glass, used for drinking, but can also hold beans, flowers; most of the tables are rectangular or round, made of wood, used for eating or writing; towels are made of cloth, can be used to wash your face, can be used as a cloth; pots and pans are mostly round, made of iron or steel, is used for cooking; fluorescent lamps are long tube-like, press the switch will become bright; refrigerators are mostly The refrigerator is mostly rectangular, made of metal, and can make the food cold when it is powered on; the color TV will show various sounds and pictures when the switch is pressed. 3. Teach children to compare observations: Teach children to compare observed natural phenomena and objects in life, and compare the similarities and differences between them. For example, what is the difference between flowers in winter and flowers in summer? What is the difference between wind and rain? What is the difference between a tiger and a lion? What is the difference between a green vegetable and a cabbage? In addition, a variety of pictures can be used to observe the differences between the two items, and picture observation can intentionally provide children with details about the various parts of the object under observation. For example, what are the animals or people in the picture missing? What are the characteristics of the different people in the picture? What are the differences between the pictures on the two pictures? 4. Teach children to observe with sense organs: When observing things, teach children to make full use of their various sense organs to gain knowledge of things in the outside world by seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, feeling, tasting and feeling of the skin. For example, when eating fruit, let children look at the appearance and color, feel the surface is smooth or rough, is soft or hard, is stable or cool, smell with the nose, taste with the mouth. The fish bought at home, not only to look at the child, but also to let the child to touch, touch, grasp, and then let him talk about what feelings. 5, teach your child to ask questions in the observation: In the observation, let your child ask more questions, ask more questions why, encourage your child to express their views and ask new questions. At the same time, parents should also ask their children questions, ask them more “know, do not know”. To guide the child to observe the laws of things and the order of observation and analysis, to train the child to see the essence of things through the phenomenon, so that the child’s observation skills can be further developed. You can also compete with your child to see who observes more details or who finds a certain target first, in order to encourage your child’s enthusiasm.
