When your child comes home, what is the first thing you ask?

In China, the first thing parents say when they pick up their children from kindergarten is usually: 1) What did you eat at kindergarten today? 2.What did you learn today? 3.Did anyone bully you? 4. Did the teacher give homework today? Some foreign parents usually ask their children the following questions: 1) Are you happy today? 2.Was there anything interesting today? 3.Did you have any work? 4. Did you have fun with everyone today? What do the differences between Chinese and foreign parents reflect? The different questions reflect different educational concepts and methods. Chinese parents pay more attention to their children’s life and study. Foreign parents, on the other hand, focus more on their children’s emotions, interests and abilities, as well as on building their own sense of success and interaction with partners. The former concern is not wrong, but it may make the child focus more on life and learning process and neglect the emotional and emotional changes and the establishment of a sense of success. In the latter case, it is easier for the child to have the desire to talk and express himself/herself, which will make him/her feel something about his/her own actions and make him/her aspire to the future kindergarten life. Experts point out that when parents pick up their children every day, it is the most active and exciting stage for children’s thinking and the golden time to develop their intelligence. Parents can make good use of this time to develop their children’s thinking and create good opportunities for their children’s expression. The first words after coming home are best said like this …… For example, you can ask questions like: 1. What is the happiest thing you did today? 2. Why is it the happiest thing? 3.What games did you play with the children? 4.What interesting things did you hear/see? 5.Who is your best friend? What are his merits? The more vivid and specific the questions are, the better. Questions like these are specific so that children know where to start. If parents ask “What did you eat today?” as soon as they leave school every day. At the most exciting stage of a child’s thinking, he will not be able to sort out his thoughts and answer what the three meals of the day are, and may only give you a simple answer, such as noodles, because noodles are the easiest word for a child to remember. Bring your child into the problematic environment to imagine and experience If you want to know what your child eats every day, you can lead your child to the recipe garden in the garden and ask your child to follow the recipe, and your child will sort out his or her thoughts and tell you carefully. This way you will not only learn about your child’s diet, but also greatly increase your child’s desire to tell you about it. The more the child tells, the more the parents will be able to understand how the child is learning and living. This kind of questioning also stimulates the child’s ability to express himself or herself verbally. Sometimes the child’s own opinions are included in the process of expression, which makes the child’s mind more active. When asking questions, parents should pay attention to the fact that it is better to use open language and ask “why” rather than “is not”. This kind of closed language. Because, closed questions are likely to cause inertia in children’s thinking, while asking “why” will allow children to think through their own, express their own ideas, help open up the child’s thinking, and children’s rich imagination will be developed. At the same time, this kind of questioning can also train children to find problems, think about them and solve them on their own.
