What effect does manual labor have on children?
First, manual activities are a way for us to explore knowledge and promote brain development. The more we do, the more we can learn.
Second, handwork can bring fine motor ability training to children, that is, the unity and coordination of thinking consciousness and muscle movement. From rough manual to fine manual, children's hands-on ability can be improved step by step, and children can control their movements more accurately by doing manual work.
Third, physical activity is more important to people's comprehensive ability and mental health than physical function. Manual activities can cultivate children's observation, creativity and imagination. Children will gradually develop the habit of carefully observing things around them in the process of hands-on, and grasp the characteristics of things more and more accurately. Children's manual activities from imitation to creation are the process of continuous improvement of creativity. In the process of observing real things and creating imaginary things, the connections in children's minds are enriched, resulting in creativity.
Fourth, manual activities can cultivate children's self-confidence and self-awareness. Correctly guide children to use their hands and brains to solve problems encountered in manual activities, so that children can experience the success after paying, feel their own abilities and enhance their self-confidence. At the same time, children are more aware of their relationship with nature during the activities. Isn't the harmony between man and nature a goal of education?
Fifth, doing manual work can make people more optimistic and positive, and life is full of fun. Manual activities will naturally create a rich story environment. In this environment, it is easier for children to resolve all kinds of bad emotions. Every manual activity is equivalent to a small-scale process of realizing one's ideals. The process is full of various factors, allowing children to experience rich scenes and bring a more optimistic attitude towards life.
Sixth, manual activities can enrich children's emotional experience and improve their communication skills. Whether it's handmade alone, by parents or by children in groups, there will be no shortage of role communication. In this process, children will naturally imagine the relationship between roles and enrich their interpersonal experience. The exchange of small handmade gifts directly increased their emotional connection.
