9 Ways by which Teachers Can Inculcate Good Habits in Preschoolers
by Mirdalini Sharma Digital MarketerKids are the future of any nation! The way they ought to be, depends
solely on their upbringing, of which teachers are an integral part. Imparting
knowledge isn’t just enough, dwelling in etiquettes and good manners personify budding
beings into responsible& reflective adults of the society. Unlike the traditional
teaching methodologies in India, far from home, modern teaching is targeted to
nurture the children holistically in an environment conducive for learning and
more; and this is now being reiterated by many top pre nursery schools
in South Delhi. Here, holistic development is the keystone and teachers are
no longer the knowledge givers but ‘facilitators’, who facilitate the process
of learning by guiding the child while letting him explore all through:
1.
Being Role Models: Being a kid with kids is the
best thing to do! But treating a young one as another respectable adult marks
the onset of communication between a teacher and a preschooler. Whatever is
expected from the child should be done by the teacher. Whether spreading a
napkin beneath the Tiffin box or not spilling food outside while eating, are some
of the ways by which teachers can connect to the little one. The child will
imitate each thing!
2.
Courtesy words: Treating the child with courtesy every day by wishing ‘Good Morning’, ‘Thank You’, ‘Excuse Me’ and so on should
be practiced all the time at schools.
3.
Games and Play: Playing among themselves is a
fruitful activity that kids must be allowed in a preschool setting. Teamwork,
healthy competition, learning to lose gracefully is certain things that can be
taught during such times by supervising teachers.
4.
Prioritizing Habits: In pre-schools, children can
automatically learn prioritizing and time management. Through a set time table,
teachers make them realize that there are fixed hours for studding, playing and
watching AVs too.
5.
Healthy Diet: Eating properly is as essential for the
good growth of a child, as it is a beneficiary in the long run of life.
Choosing the right food to eat and excluding junk, prepares the taste buds of
budding kids in a way that they do not compromise on their health.
6.
Rewards and Merits: In pre-schools, teachers can use stars
or smiley, etc., and mark them on kids’ hands for the little good things that
the toddlers do. It is these small accolades that bloom these kids into
confident adults.
7.
Reading Habit: A good read in the form of pictures
and stories can be as delightful as encouraging. A child learns to be
attentive, gets to know new words and concepts, and also observes the
discipline and code of conduct; it’s a great way of bonding too!
8.
Setting Realistic Goals: Children learn from their mistakes.
Teachers can guide the kids towards the right, rather than forbidding them from
doing anything. Just saying, “do this instead of that”, makes the child feel
positive and build up. Setting small goals like arranging back toys after playing,
keeping books after reading make the kids disciplined without any burden.
9.
Budgeting: This is one good trait that is inculcated
in children by their teachers at the top day care in South Delhi. Conducting small group activities
involving money management at small level will teach kids not to splurge and
understand the value of wealth.
