The child's consciousness is arranged in such a way that information about the objects of the material world is assimilated by him much easier than abstract concepts. Therefore, to facilitate understanding, give specific, illustrative examples when talking about abstract categories.
Instructions
Step 1
Learning the world around, the child is faced with a mass of words unknown to him. Your task is to correctly and clearly explain to him the meaning of these concepts. If the kid asks what emotions are, do not use scientific terminology and complex words in your speech. Otherwise, at the initial stage, the child will cease to understand you.
Step 2
Start with an example. Ask the kid: “When we went to the carnival, were you happy? And when you saw the magician take the rabbit out of the hat, were you surprised? " The child will answer in the affirmative. Then summarize: "Surprise, joy, delight are emotions." But emotions are different. These are positive emotions.
Step 3
Then ask the child: “When you saw a crocodile in the terrarium, were you scared? When you didn't win the holiday competition, were you upset? When you broke Grandma's vase, she got angry. Fear, disappointment, anger are also emotions, but negative.
Step 4
Ask your child for examples of different emotions. If he easily coped with this task, then proceed to the next stage.
Step 5
Give the following example. The grandmother found out that she was suffering from a serious illness. In her heart she was very upset, but she continued to smile and joke, like a person experiencing joy. Her face showed some emotions, and she experienced others. What conclusion can be drawn from this? A person can often take control of their emotions. And one should not judge his emotional state by just one expression of his face.
