Don't stop your parents.

Every time we publish articles related to the baby, there will be parents to leave a message:

My child also loves to play with water too! Intersection

As long as there is a puddle on the road, there must be a special equipment.

As long as there is water, my parents want to toss and toss.

Bathing has never been soaked.

What magic is it so that children are so loved to play with water? When the baby stepped on the puddle and patted the water, what was they thinking about?

Today we will invite a child psychologist Zou Lina to talk to everyone.

Playing water is a natural fusion of human and nature

Water is part of nature.

Water also has a special significance for people. Everyone's life starts in water (amniotic fluid). 70% of the human body is water, and 85% of the human brain consists of water.

In terms of biological nature, human beings are irresistible with nature, and they are inherently integrated with nature.

In the early childhood, children had a natural sense of closeness to objects in nature.

In recent years, studies have also revealed that children's toys and children's products are made of more natural and simple texture materials, which can more cause children's intimacy.

So when children play water, their nature is released. At this time, when you observe the child, you will find that happiness is a part of nature.

Play water and meet the needs of children's sensory exploration

Children's educator Mengtai Toulli believes that children aged 0 to 6 are sensory learners. They like sensory games and rely on sensory to obtain knowledge of the world.

This is consistent with the theory of psychologist Piajie's perception movement. He believes that children explore the world through perception and movement, and touch is one of the most important channels for children to perceive and memory in children.

They like to reach out and touch, whether it is daily games, or learning mathematics, science, and music.

Water can fully contact the skin at any time, can wrap the skin, and meet the needs of children's multi -channel stimulation and sensory learning. And water is soft and suitable, which makes children not only comfortable but also sense of security when playing.

And because there is no fixed gameplay in playing water, its opening allows children to interact with water creatively, and gain cognitive development through exercise and sensory exploration.

Therefore, we often see that when children are playing with water, we will repeat, pour, pour, step on, wrap, hide, bury, etc., and enjoy the process of duplicate.

Playing water is a child who is enjoying scientific inquiry

Children in early childhood are playing with water every day. The most common movement is to step on the pits and splash water. When playing with water through these large movements, the results of the harvest are always unexpected and unlimited for children.

For adults, it is natural to have water splashing when shooting and stepping on water.

This is not the case for children. Every small puddle is a new continent for children.

This process is the cause and effect between children in exploring their actions and changes in water.

If you look closely, you can find that when they step on the water, they will change their posture and strength to see how different steps are different from stepping on. This is the scientific thinking mode that adjusts variables.

They will pay more attention to details than adults, and they will observe the subtle differences of the water splashing in different pits.

This autonomous exploration can greatly nourish the child's curiosity and desire to explore.

Every time you can easily participate in the game, you can gain open game results every time, which makes the child's brain quickly excited, and at the same time prompt the body to secrete dopamine, allowing children to be active and pleasant when playing with water!

Therefore, the openness and unpredictability when playing with water, and the happiness brought by other game activities is difficult to replace.

It helps concentration, autonomy and creativity development

Touching movement is most used in water games.

When the tactile coordination is coordinated with other sensory, the stimulus of various sensory channels can greatly stimulate children's interest and autonomy, and allow them to enter the game. These can help the development of concentration and independent exploration.

It is recommended that adults do not intervene and block children's playing games, and give them enough time to create and express. As long as the child is willing to continue playing, he can encourage him to continue to explore in his own way.

If you want to promote your child's imagination and creativity, parents can provide children with some other daily necessities or natural objects when playing water, such as role -playing toys, small branches, leaves, stones, and so on.

In this way, the child is constantly thinking, memory, representation, and creation in the process of hands -on operation, which has further promoted the development of concentration and creativity.

Promote emotional guidance and relieve stress

When the child is under pressure, the communication is not smooth, or the negative emotions are more negative, you can arrange the child to arrange the children to play with water and the sand, such as to the outdoor places, the right place at home, prepare a large pot of water, and at the same time Provide children with more toys.

Whether it is dumping, splashing, or stepping on or hand -shot, as long as you do not hurt yourself, affect others, or destroy the environment, you can let your child explore in his own way without instructing him how to play. The process of playing water can help them relieve emotional pressure and guide negative emotions. In the process of playing with water, parents try not to criticize accusations or intervention, and do it to accompany and pay attention to ensure absolute safety. You know, your company will make children feel very comfortable and relaxed.

The feeling of autonomy, investment, and relaxation of children in water games will help them accumulate psychological energy. Psychological energy can make children better complete tasks and cooperation that needs self -control, and also more actively face challenges and solve problems.

The tolerance of water conforms to the personality of different children

Children with different personalities have different performance when playing with water, and water can tolerate different children.

Adults can cultivate children's communication, expression and self -regulation through game settings and different props.

A child with low energy and unhappy expression can encourage him to play water significantly and provide large tools, such as large pots and large water guns. It can not only reduce the threshold of release forces, but also help children expand the scope and sense of strength to express themselves.

Children who are not good at expressing and shyness can also get satisfaction when playing crazy.

Children with high energy, strong strength, and weak self -control can give some small tools when playing with water, and set some fun rules, such as playing areas to play. These methods allow such children to better establish a sense of rules and order, and promote the development of self -regulation and self -control capabilities.

What's even more amazing is that when playing with water, the children's self -control and concentration, stability, and active expression will spread outside the water. In daily life, positive behaviors and emotions will gradually replace the negative behavior and emotions before.

Think about when we were young, we turned the umbrella around the umbrella and jumped in the big bewater. Sakano and Sahuan, no matter when they think of it, are the comfort of their hearts.

Therefore, summer is coming, and you can act quickly. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of your children, accompany them to play with water!
