Peanut, who is 16 months old, has been attending classes at ITC for almost 6 months now. In this environment, he has always had a special love for musical instruments. Every time he comes to the gym, his essential job is to play musical instruments. At first, he would use the drumstick as "food" or knock it aimlessly, even using his friends' heads as musical instruments. Occasionally, he would use his mischievous chubby little feet to step on it, with a playful expression on his face that won bursts of laughter from the observing parents. Therefore, Peanut seemed to have received a "permit" and became even more severe.
How to adjust inappropriate behavior of children
Adult reactions often create an illusion for children. Like peanuts, he would feel that knocking hard, stomping on his feet, and funny expressions could actually make everyone laugh heartily, which is a fun thing.
So, what should we do about inappropriate behavior of children? The teacher and parents had a discussion.
Firstly, when children exhibit inappropriate behavior, they should not appear overly excited, otherwise they may think they are joking or playing with them.
At the same time, in this situation, kindly and firmly tell the baby that you are sorry and can gently tap. When he engages in inappropriate behavior again, tell the children in the same way. In this way, the correct way to play an instrument can be established.
Now, Peanut has gradually developed from hitting one instrument to coordinating 2-3 instruments with both hands, and the sense of rhythm is becoming stronger. Every time, a harmonious and pleasant melody can be heard around the entire classroom. The teacher often sings nursery rhymes to match his rhythm, and when he hears music, he can't help but dance his body.
For every young child, playing musical instruments that make sound through percussion has great appeal, guiding them on how to use them correctly, discovering their interests and hobbies without excessive intervention from adults, allowing them to explore independently and provide timely assistance.
