First of all, we must follow the educational philosophy of “Guidelines for Kindergarten Education (Trial)” (2001).
The outline clearly states:
” 1. Kindergartens must put the protection of children’s lives and the promotion of children’s health at the top of their work. Establish correct health concepts and attach great importance to children’s mental health while attaching importance to children’s physical health.
2. It is necessary to attach great importance to and meet the needs of children to be protected and cared for, but also to respect and meet their growing independence requirements, avoid excessive protection and arrange replacement, and encourage and guide children’s attempts to take care of themselves and become self-reliant. ”
This means that on the one hand, we must pay attention to the safety and hygiene of toys, and on the other hand, we must also consider children’s exploration and learning. Experiments in the United Kingdom have proved that children who are strictly prohibited from contacting dangerous objects (such as knives, matches, iron wires, etc.) have the highest risk of injury, children who are free to explore have the middle risk of injury, and children who have received education have the lowest risk of injury.
There are no toys and environments that are absolutely safe and hygienic in the world. Everything lies in education. Therefore, we must consider that games are children’s nature, and toys are children’s favorites. Children spend almost half of their daily life and activities in the kindergarten dealing with toys. Therefore, it is very important to educate young children on toy safety. Toddlers playing with different toys should have different safety requirements. For example, when playing a large toy slide, teach the children not to be crowded. When the children in front have not yet slid to the end and leave, the children behind cannot slide down; when playing on the swing, pay attention to sit firmly and tighten the swing ropes on both sides with both hands; When using a seesaw, in addition to sitting firmly, you must hold the handrails with both hands; etc.; when playing with a medium-sized toy game stick, you must not use the stick to hit the body of other children, especially the head; when playing with a small toy glass ball, you cannot put it In the mouth, ears, nose, so as not to cause injury, etc.
