How can parents help children play well

s crucial to promote children's learning and development.

1、 Create conditions for children to play

Play is the right of children, play is the need of children's development, and children learn in play. Therefore, parents should create conditions for children to play, give children full opportunities and time to play, and understand what children like to play, how to play, and who to play with. We can see that most of the activities children like to play are running, jumping, climbing, playing ball, and doing manual folk games. Parents do not have to buy some high-end toys, but can use local natural, cultural and living resources to provide children with rich, safe and operable toy materials; Use local cultural resources, such as soil, water and sticks; Household waste materials; Folktales, ballads, books and games, etc., telling stories, children's songs, reading books and playing games with children, and guiding children to carry out language, reading and games activities; Make toys with various materials together with children, so that children can explore the sources, functions, properties and changes of various materials in this process, and learn to solve practical problems with these materials.

2、 Be equal playmates of children

Studies have shown that the quantity and quality of parent-child communication directly affect the development of children. The best way for parents to participate in children's play is to be an equal partner and let the children be the leaders. All parents need to do is to help them physically, act as partners, provide advice, support and encourage them. Some parents may feel that they are too busy to play with their children. In fact, there are many ways to solve this problem. In the countryside, we can see many examples that do not delay parents' work and play together in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. If the parents are busy with farm work, the children can catch butterflies, caterpillars, watch eggplants, etc., and communicate their findings with the children from time to time; When my father repaired the bike, my child looked at the broken toys and imitated the removal of the screws to explore the structure inside; When parents wash clothes, children play "bubble blowing" around their parents. Older children can also help parents hang clothes. Parents should believe that playing with children and sharing their fun can enhance parent-child relationship, meet the needs of children's safety and love, and have important value in promoting children's learning and development. What parents should pay attention to is that the suggestions, questions and guidance given to children should be based on whether the children need and are willing to accept. Because playing is pioneering and experimental for children themselves, they do not need and do not want others to teach them how to do it. If parents insist on telling them the correct methods and answers, it will destroy their learning process.

3、 Encourage children to play with children

As children grow up, they enjoy playing with children more and more. They need the friendship of their peers, the mutual learning between them, the way of dealing with others, and the communication and cooperation with others in the process of playing with them. Parents should provide such opportunities, and guide children to learn from each other when playing with children, and learn to listen to the children's opinions. For example, when the children are unable to knead some dry plasticine, parents can ask, "How can this clay be unable to knead?" "How did Xiao Ming get soft?" If the child is willing to accept, tell him that "Xiao Ming uses water to soften the mud, so you can try this method instead of using it", inspire him to imitate his peers, show his ideas to the children, etc., and let him gradually learn to share, communicate, care, and cooperate in peer interaction, and work together to solve problems. The more children interact with their peers, the more conducive to the development of their social abilities.

At the same time, we should pay attention to and observe the children's emotions during play. Children often show their need to be happy, loved and loved in play, which shows that the child is calm and happy, and occasionally shows that he insists on his own wishes and opposes the requirements of his parents. This is a normal manifestation of his socialized behavior. He should guide patiently and help the child to insist on finishing something, which is an important quality of successful learning. Let's respect the children's right to play and share the fun with them.
