The Impact of Parents' Identification of Children's Interests on Children's Development--Taking Play Support as an Example
Abstract
Children's interest is an important force for children to explore the world. The relationship between children's interests and children's development has been widely studied, but most people regard children's interests as a hook to promote children's academic achievements, choosing and creating interests for children from the perspective of adults. This study uses play as the analysis carrier to explore how parents' identification of children's interests reflected in the play activities will affect children's development in all aspects. This study shows that parents' identification of children's interests is still insufficient, and it is easy to view and judge children's interests from the perspective of adults. Based on this, this study puts forward the following suggestions: First, regard children as independent subjects, and respect children's choice rights and interest preferences. Second, parents should pay attention to forming a reasonable concept of education and effectively guide the development of children's interests. Third, provide a family environment suitable for children's development and create a harmonious and comfortable family atmosphere. Parents should deepen their identification of children's interests and respect children's dominant position to better stimulate children's positive interests and cultivate children's abilities in all aspects.
