Wang Yihui Modern society is a materialistic society. Most people are indifferent to everything around them and shuttle through the world with a mentality of "it doesn't matter to them." If their own interests are involved,
, people will plunge into it almost crazily. Fame, wealth and status have dehumanized many people, and fraud and abduction are common... As educators, we are in such a big environment, and we are deeply aware of the difficulty of education.
It happened that the school reading forum distributed the book "Learning to Care - Another Model of Education", and the words of the author Noddings made our eyes shine.
The core of this book is "care". Xinhua Dictionary explains it as "keeping people or things in mind". The specific understanding is as the author explains in the book: care is sympathy and mercy for life, and is everything in the world.
worries, sorrows and pains.
From this we can clearly feel that this is a relationship between everyone and the people and things around them, a "love" relationship.
Because of love, we sympathize, because of love, we have pity, because of love, we have worry, sorrow and pain.
In ancient Chinese bronze inscriptions and small seal scripts, there is this word: "A person holds his heart in both hands and turns his head to tell what is in his heart." This is "love", which vividly explains that caring is love.
The German classical philosopher Feuerbach said: "Sympathy, gratitude, and love make you a human being." It goes without saying that "love" is the basic element of becoming a human being, so as engineers of the human soul, we
It is urgent to cultivate children to "learn to love".
1. Spread love through personal practice. To let children experience love, we must take loving actions. Only in this way can children truly understand the value of love and imitate your good side through hearing and seeing.
(1) "No matter how much you contribute to the world, you must have a healthy and happy body and mind." Lao Tzu's "noble body" actually tells us that a person must first learn to love himself:
Take care of your own health.
We should pay attention to rest, eat fresh, healthy and seasonal food, pay attention to our own health regimen on weekdays, and be extra kind to ourselves when we have a headache or a fever.
Take care of your spiritual life.
People do not live just to work. We must "live and have fun" after work.
Listen carefully to the voice deep in our hearts, find one or two things that we like, and focus on them in our free time, such as: planting flowers, raising fish, painting, fitness, cooking, traveling... to make ourselves energetic
.
(2) At home, we respect our elders and care about our relatives, friends and neighbors.
The first person to benefit from this is our own children. For example: when eating, if we give delicious food to our children, we also don’t forget to share some with other family members. Today it is the mother who does this, and tomorrow
It is the father who does this, and the day after tomorrow... In such a family, there will never be a child who thinks that "Mom only likes to eat shrimp skin or fish heads". Invisibly, the child has learned "Kong Rong gives the pear", and may say it hundreds of times before the adults.
Thousands of times for faster results.
(3) We work actively in the unit.
As adults, we all have to work when we finish school. Although our contributions vary in size, we are more or less happy and satisfied from the recognition we receive when we actively work.
Because we love our work, we have gained the attention of our leadership colleagues and set a good example for our children to “love what we do”.
(4) We are not a stumbling block to others in society.
Not everyone has to fight disasters and rescue people. Acting bravely is the love for others. After all, such things can only happen under specific circumstances, and the chance of such things happening is also very small. In society, as long as we keep in mind the principle of "doing your own thing."
"Don't do it to others if you don't want it" and put it into practice is enough, such as: waiting in line to get on the bus, keeping quiet in the cinema, not littering... Love yourself, love the people closest to you, love the things you have with you
People with all kinds of relationships, love people who have nothing to do with themselves, love plants and the natural environment, love things made by humans, care about knowledge and learning, love their own spiritual life...Only if you can love yourself, can you teach others to love, right?
As the saying goes, "If your body is upright, you will not be allowed to act"!
2. Treat everyone equally and give love. As the new generation of teenagers, they no longer blindly obey the authority of teachers and parents. They have become independent and assertive, rebellious and not submissive.
Therefore, students who have grown up in the Internet age prefer teachers who truly care about them. A survey shows that students prefer to receive such love from teachers: 1. Sincerely care for and care for students, be considerate and understanding of students 2. Treat students equally, every day
Able to face students with a smile 3. Often encourage students without attacking or reprimanding students 4. Be good at discovering students' psychological changes and provide students with psychological guidance 5. Frequently provide students with guidance on learning methods to reduce the psychological burden of students' learning... It can be seen from this that,
Loving students is an essential accomplishment for teachers.
However, it is not enough to just have love. What is more important is to position the love for students in the appropriate position.
When we love students, we must pay attention to the way we love.
