Friedrich Fröbel had a beautiful mind.❣️

[@marylynneosborn5851]

I did not attend Kindergarten. I spent my time in free play at home with my brothers and my mother. When I began first grade, I did not know the alphabet or numbers, or even recognize my written name. Within three weeks, at six years old, I was the top reader in the class and I learned writing and numbers with ease. Free play is critical for healthy overall development and developmental readiness is imperative for formal learning.

Great story. Reach out if you want to help us convince all the teachers, policy makers, and parents out there!

I grew up poor and have never had enough money, but I was rich with adults who nurtured me at home and in school. I'm sorry you weren't. The points of my comments are free play and developmental readiness.

[@bboicrazy8]

That's lovely for you and indeed play is important for learning (I actually worked in a children's museum and do interactive history education for children). Some kids don't have many opportunities for play in their household either because of caregiver's work schedule, unsafe environment, and other reasons. Some children also have very limited encounters with reading (moreso being read to) at home which has shown to greatly decrease reading ability later in life and also effect performance in school as well.

[@johnboy5483]

Are you seriously comparing yourself to a concept from the 18th century? A time when children were sometimes tied to benches in schools?

[@Wirewrap36]

I was fascinated by technology ever since i could point my finger at things. There was a technical corner in my kindergarden where we could tear apart old apliances. I met my best friend there and we disasembled, examined and collected various electronical parts that we later used to asemble simple contraptions. I learned to use hand tools and solder before i could tie my shoes or write. We are 28 now. He's the owner of a industrial motor and pump repair buisness and i'm an engineer at Rimac.

Exactly. I can tell you a different side of the coin. My parents were young when I was born, my father learned and mastered mechanic work , he knew construction amongst other things, hell he was a good salesman. He taught me none of this. At age 20 I got turned down at a job for not knowing how to read a tape measure. My father actually got fired many times for sleeping with the Boss' wives and his coworkers all the time, got fired at the mechanic shop for being irresponsible because he was busy chasing pussy but that's another aspect of how it affected my life. Point is that I had to learn basic skills that he could've taught me but didn't. My hardships allowed me to grow I became good at managing people because my social skills were constantly developing due to my curiosity. I'm a father now I have twins and my 18 month old babies are very independent and good listeners. I studied the texts and documents my momma got at her daycare job to apply it on my kids. Basically guides on how children learn at different ages. One thing I've always said is that it amazes me how people get so impressed when a video of a child doing something of intelligence or skill pops up on the internet as if it was something supernatural when in reality children are geniuses in my eyes. They're capable of learning things so fast and well if you take the time to teach them. My twins even love cleaning. It's a game to them. I got em small brooms to sweep with me. When they spill something I get 3 wipes one for each of us. As a single father with custody I also enjoy having full control over their development without a woman overprotecting them. I allow them to explore under my supervision

[@hakimdiwan5101]

It's ironical how kindergartens are doing everything opposite of Frobel. In my school we spent most of the time learning alphabets and rarely went outside and even when we did there was no "garden" it was just a sand and we used to play local games on our own till time was up.

[@sprouts]

[@Lucas-vv7lw]

Have I missed something, but Kindergarten and school are not the same thing right? 😅 In school we learned the alphabet and only had some time outside but the real kindergarten we were outside almost all the time (in summer of course) and went into a nearby forest 2 times a week 😅

My experience in kindergarten was horrible! 80s child here. I was/am a visual learner. They taught us colors by the spelling and sometimes would show me the name "purple " ...but in the color orange . I'd yell out orange and they told my mom I needed to be in "special needs" ... fast forward through the educational system I was told I had no future in science as I got a B in my chemistry class in High school. Then in my early 20s I wanted to get into medicine so I had to do my equivalent high school class/test in organic chemistry. Because of new computer programs and visual learning. I not only passed with a 94% ...but completed the course in 3 months as opposed to 6... that shows how discriminatory our educational systems have become. Don't ever believe that you can't! :)

[@captainzork6109]

They gave you a friggin' Stroop task on accident =.= Most adults have overlearned reading, and they can't help but read the words you put in front of their face. A Stroop task takes advantage of this. The task requires a list of colors, written with a different color. So, they give you the word "red", but the word itself is blue. The first time, you have to just read the words, which is easy when you're an adult. The second time, you have to *ignore * what the word says; instead, you have to say the color the word is written in. This tends to be much more difficult! ...except when you're a child. Because reading wasn't ingrained in your system yet, you enthusiasically blurted out the color of the word, instead of the color-word itself There's little evidence for being more or less capable with one particular style of learning or another. In my opinion, the most effective type of learning depends on the task and not on the person. But I could imagine you (and your mind) have a preference. And I imagine this would mean that if you're correctly instructed to do one way of learning or another, you'd be at least just as capable as anyone else. But perhaps if not, it may not have come as naturally to you to think of words the way they wanted you to So I think it's more accurate to say you have a visual predisposition, rather than that you are a visual learner per se ...if that makes sense ^^

I feel so deeply about this, I always think that studying is not a thing every kids will like. It's quite mundane for them. Playing makes them express their emotions and renovates their creative minds... With addition to Froebel's techniques I think team games like football can be a great place to teach them discipline and channel their emotions, it will also build a sense of togetherness and improve their social behaviour.

[@sprouts]

Yes yes yes 👏

[@lornocford6482]

I agree. I was definitely one of those kids. Sports need to be seen the same way as study though. It's really not for everyone. I like the 'being in contact with animals' approach. It's really about allowing children to find where their interests are. I believe we learn life skills by following what we're attracted to. The lessons are in everything. It's just how each individual hears them.

[@StarlightNkyra]

Free play is the best of both worlds. It makes children happier and educates them, which in a lot of higher educational forms of traditional teaching, neither are present. (Yes high school, I'm mostly talking about you, even if that problem starts in middle school.)

Play is a foundation for a child learning development. Piaget and Bruner support the work of Froebel and build their theory of learning upon his.

[@disabledandproud5556]

I personally believe I learned more valuable lessons in K4 and K5 then I did in grade school (1st-12th). In kindergarten I learned things like how to listen to others and share my own thoughts. I learned it’s okay to not know things and that in truth we all are learning everyday. No one knows everything nor can anyone know everything. These are lessons I want future generations to know more than anything else. Yes, even over math, science and English. Because if we cannot share ideas and solutions to problems in our lives without calling each other names and getting into fights with each other, it doesn’t matter how right you are! You just look like a person who forgot the golden rule that keeps a society together.

Fröbel is a legend

[@spinynorman1562]

Where I live (Australia), kindergarten is the first year of school. But there's a very strong movement to enrol children in PRE-school, from a very young age (as young as 6 months) because, we are told by the government and "experts", these are essential learning years and if a child doesn't attend preschool he or she will be at a disadvantage, not only in the first years of school, but for life! Which I think is absolute nonsense. And I believe the REAL reason parents are being pressured to send their children to preschool (also known as day care) is so that both parents can work.

[@kellifrumento8992]

I teach preschool and some of my children can read on a kinder level as well as writing their names, numbers and letters ....it builds their cognitive skills, comprehension with story time and reading. They build social skills and manners, They learn what most children do not if not at a preschool setting center. A daycare is when your child is being watched and taken care of..I do that too, but our main goal is teaching the children to get them ready for kindergarten. In June the PreK children graduate.

[@kellifrumento8992]

If they attend preschool they'll learn faster. A child's brain between 1 yr and 5 are like sponges. They take everything in. They can learn languages even if you will. I disagree I'm sorry, preschool molds a child for elementary school.

[@spinynorman1562]

@@kellifrumento8992 Sure, you can teach kids their ABC's and numbers at preschool, which gives them an advantage over kids who didn't go to preschool - AT FIRST! But once they get to school the kids who didn't go to preschool quickly catch up. It is NOT necessary to teach children to read at age 3 or 4. They'll learn faster at age 5 or 6. But I'm not saying there's anything wrong with preschool. I'm just saying that preschool is not essential for later learning and development. The child's intelligence and home life are much more important factors.

[@lornocford6482]

​@@spinynorman1562 I agree with you. Babies and very young children need to be with their parents and extended family. That's the foundation. Sounds like your government wants them institutionalised. We're not all supposed to learn exactly the same things at exactly the same time.

Kindergarten didn't come to my school district until I started first grade. Since then, I have volunteered at the first Missouri kindergarten building, which also housed the Historical Society for that area. The classroom had many pictures of mothers loving their children. The kids also practiced drawing things, things like crystals or using tiny sticks to build them from a picture. It is said that cubism came out of this movement. Pestalozzi, Froebel's mentor, said that the best classroom was on the parent's lap. Institutionalization of young children is a communistic effort by Dewey and others. Children learn 80-95% more from those they trust and know that love them.

so thats why some kindergartens have a small place with plants. I feel dumb that i didnt noticed that before. too bad that schools dont use those places as part of their education. I remember that my kindergarten had trees and grass, but It just was used as the place for recess (I didnt like it, kids used to play with bugs). I worked on a kindergarten and it also had a small place with grass, but again, it was just used to dry things made inside of the classroom.

When I was in kindergarten i can remember we mostly Sang, had story time, arts and crafts, learned abc, how to count, but there was also alot of playtime tho... all we had was tricycles, balls, and sandbox. Haha we had alot of Psycological learning by talking to a puppet lion and learning about emotions looking a pictures of facial expressions and were always asked what do we think they feel i suppose this was early development of participation and voicing out opinions. Because alot of kids saw things diffrently so there'd be small debates such as "i think they are sad they upside down smile" "no i think they are mad because they look mad" then the teacher facilitates and would explain to us after. We were always encouraged to read taking home small paper stories with morals in them then coming back to discuss the story in a group. Now idk what they are teaching or doing and todays society keeps wanting to change i assume some Kindergartens do their own things as to what Froebel envisioned

Having to ask permission to use the restroom or even to speak felt so shocking coming from a progressive, democratic household that valued each person equally.

I had probably racist educators i think. I was drawing houses all day since we needed to move so many times to different places such as women's shelters on and on and finally got to a place where we remained longer I noticed so i drew houses all day. Then this educator told me "ughh... Wait why again man" and i said ok I'll draw a lion in a cage then ! And she said "no it's too difficult" but ye know what i friggin did. I basically told her fuck off. Anyway. Later on i was more of a singer, drawer and started reading myself but got restricted from my mother. Also in primary school my teacher didn't like me too... I missed math basics and lost confidence in math up until today :( i was told to not attend acting classes but instead getting my grade (in Germany 11-13 grade is like highschool) as the first person in my family to do so since I've been told I'd be smart enough. I was yelled at all day and had no room for myself so i left with 16. I'm still singing, writing songs, did not get my promised violin classes and also didn't get my grade yet but I'll attend once again next yr and I'm so frightened for math and still not knowing where this will even lead me. But I need to get this outta my way forever. not getting money from my work as artist yet but i started with blender... it's so confusing for someone who has been told to be good at everything but never having gotten any real support but instead having been used from people so they can brag with you for your good looks, skills and so forth but that's it. So now I can hardly focus and determine what I even need and like and having serious trouble choosing between what I wanna do and sometimes I even end up doing nothing. Besides the issues it was somehow still easier as a kid to pick one thing to do, to aim for one single thing I feel ... now I'm overwhelmed with every solution that I'm having and every skill that I developed ... I'm good at drilling and I'm an autodidact... But i lost confidence in knowing what I really need and what I should go for since I hope there will be something that I get credit for without frying my brain, walking for 3 in a hospital as a nurse or talking to annoyed costumers or locking myself in a room and not wanting to attent any work with people no more but I'm so bad at maths and actually also with common people jobs i was just surpressing it ... I'm an artist actually :(. Being encouraged in what you like is key you must not be a Multitalent (to be an actress or actor lol that's what I thought is required so..) nobody needs that nobody likes that who cares even what a dozen skills ye have at the end of the day it's still only 24hrs sorry.
