The perfect combination of concentration, perception and nature education

I chatted with my friends in psychology yesterday. She is a professional photographer and does nature education for children. I always thought it was taking children out to play as a field expansion.

She said it also cultivates children's concentration and five senses.

When children walk in nature, especially in the original ecological environment, there will be rich sensory stimulation. The five senses she said are sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, all of which are directly visible feelings. When children are observing insects and plants, it is a good exercise of concentration, and naturally they form a habit.

She mentioned that her daughter had been running around in the wild since she was a child, because she was either traveling, stepping on the spot or taking pictures. She spends most of her time on the road, so if she wants to accompany her children, she can only always take them with her, volunteer with them and take them to summer camp, but her own daughter is now in the top ten of her grade. Mathematics, English and physics are basically full marks. She said that the best education is in the natural environment, which is the best exercise for the brain. But now many parents are afraid that their children will be bitten by mosquitoes and exposed to the sun and wind, which will be risky in the wild. Children are rarely brought into contact with nature, so they have a lot of sensory stimulation. The brain is in an unstimulated state, so it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort by soaking in cram schools all day.

In class and sharing, I also advocate that everyone should go outdoors as much as possible to get in touch with nature, the grass and trees, the flowers, birds, insects and fish, and the original ecological environment of nature. They are all good training for children, so that children can experience the tranquility and harmony in air-conditioned rooms and outside the city, listen to birds singing in the mountains, listen to the sound of running water in the stream, listen to insects, watch fish swim around the stream, feel the rugged mountain road, step on a few feet of water and breathe fresh air, which is of great help to children's sensory stimulation.

At the same time, the quiet mountains and natural oxygen bars will nourish the brain that has been in a state of hypoxia for a long time and make the whole person calm down.

I remembered the story of another child. My mother decided to quit her job and take her children to Shenzhen to climb Wu Tong every weekend because the children were inattentive and had poor academic performance. Wu Tong is the highest mountain in Shenzhen, and it takes a lot of physical strength to climb it. Mother and son walked through the mountains, enjoying the scenery of nature and listening to all kinds of sounds. After a semester, the child actually used seven kinds of sounds to describe the underwater sound. Children's listening and visual concentration have been greatly improved, and their academic performance has also improved a lot. The most important thing is that children's emotions and parent-child relationship have undergone fundamental changes, and companionship is always the longest love confession.

We have always said that if we want to build a child's brain neural network,

Thousands of sensory stimuli are needed, so these thousands of stimuli need to last for a long time. I'm not saying that I can get immediate results tomorrow by exercising today. I'm not saying that going out once in a while will make a big difference to the children. Habits can't be formed in a day, and changes can't be made overnight. All things have to be repeated for a long time to be effective, and parents and children need to insist.

I'm glad to see that all education leads to the same goal, which also gives me a new idea, why not take children to practice the seven senses outdoors, let them go out of the classroom and really experience the fun elements, and at the same time strengthen nature education and combine it with academic performance. Let children really improve their learning efficiency through play. Let children no longer just shuttle through various training classrooms.

PS。 Now Mr. Shao, a small partner of nature education, is in August 16, a three-day and two-night summer camp. Interested friends can learn about it.
