What are the characteristics of children in early childhood

The characteristics of preschool children's psychological development: stage and continuous ascension, orientation and sequence, imbalance, and difference.

1. Phases and continuity

At one stage, when a child shows new characteristics, at another stage they will replace the old ones. For example, children in the first and second grades of primary school begin to have concrete image thinking, but they still retain the feelings and perceptual thinking of the early childhood stage, so we need to pay attention to the current stage in the process of cultivating children, and also consider how to prepare for the next stage of development.

2. Orientation and sequentiality

The direction and sequence of development are irreversible, from small to large, from simple to complex, concrete to abstract and so on, so it is necessary to step by step, do what you can, do what you can, and do not promote the seedlings, and do not advance and exceed the outline learning in the usual teaching or growth process, so as not to affect the healthy development of children.

3. Imbalance

The speed of development of different psychological functions of individuals, the time of initiation and the end of time, and the period of reaching maturity are different; Individuals have different development rates at different stages of the development of the same mental function, so it is necessary to grasp the critical period of the child and give appropriate and correct guidance to help the child better develop this ability. For example, the age of 2-3 is the critical period for spoken language, and the age of 4-5 is the critical period for written language.

4. Differences

The speed of psychological development, the level of achievement and the development of the advantages of the field are different, so to teach according to their aptitude, each child has his own strengths, some children like sports, some children like to draw, some children like literature, some children like photography, some are not good at English, some are not good at mathematics, these are the differences between children; In terms of cultural classes, some children are good at mathematics but not good at English, so we need to teach them according to their aptitude and increase their understanding and tolerance.

The characteristics of young children's personalities are strong, weak and intermediate.

The strong type is strong, competitive, self-willed, self-centered, I have the final say in everything, irritable, emotionally rich and strong, and poor self-control.

The intermediate type is calm, composed, cheerful and optimistic, highly motivated, adaptable, brave to overcome difficulties, brave to solve conflicts, good at activities, emotionally stable, and self-controlled.

1. The behavior is strongly emotional.

2. Love to imitate.

3. Thinking with intuition and action.

Toddlers usually refer to children between the ages of 1 and 3, and their actions during this period are often influenced by emotions, that is, they are not governed by their intellect, but by their emotions. Strong emotionality is characteristic of children throughout early childhood. During this period, children are less independent, so they show a love of imitation.

At the same time, the most important characteristic of children in this period when they understand and think about things is that they know things by perception and actions, understand the world, and accumulate knowledge. Therefore, when organizing children's learning, or organizing children's activities, we must pay attention to this characteristic of children.

The general characteristics of children's psychological development: The general characteristics of children's psychology Generally speaking, children's hearts have three most basic characteristics:

1. Recognize the specific image of the activity. Young children mainly perceive things through perception and rely on appearances. The appearance of concrete images affects the entire cognitive process of young children, and even thinking activities are often difficult to get rid of the shackles of perceptual impressions.

2. Unintentionality of mental activity and behavior. Young children's ability to control and regulate their mental activities and behaviors is still very poor, and they are easily influenced by other things to change the direction of their activities, so their actions show great instability, and under the right educational conditions, this situation gradually changes with age.

3 Begin to form the first personality tendencies. Before the age of 3, children already have some manifestations of personality traits such as Ryo Hashi, but these traits are very unstable. They are susceptible to external influences and changes, and the scope of personality expression is also limited, very not profound, and generally only reflected in the enthusiasm of activities, emotional stability, and the strength of curiosity.

Children's personality performance is relatively broad, whether it is in hobbies, behavioral habits, talents, and attitudes towards people, they will begin to show their own unique tendencies, these personality tendencies are still easy to change compared with the future, but have become the basis of a person's lifelong personality.
