请教孩子看世界名画的家长看过来

转贴的，在Childbrain论坛上看到的，觉得挺好，大家分享啊！A story about a Doman child in a big exhibition of Picasso's works Diane Palmer wrote: I am sure we have all faced negative attitudes/ comments at some point. It's because what we do sounds like "hot-housing", which to most people triggers an image of pushy parents forcing their reluctant kids to learn, making them thoroughly miserable in the process. They don't understand that the GD philosophy is the complete OPPOSITE of that, in that there should be no pressure, only joyousness and love. What we aim to do is to foster a true passion for learning in our children that will last a lifetime, and in the process, grow their brains and make learning anything really easy for them.  Breezing through school is an incidental benefit - above all, we are seeking to enrich their lives in a way that most people will never experience. During the Intelligence Course which I attended in Feb, Janet Doman recounted an anecdote to illustrate how much the IAHP kids truly understood and FELT for the subjects they were exposed to. It goes something like this:  There was a big exhibition of Picasso's works at the Metropolitan Museum some 15 or 20 years ago, and one of the IAHP students, a 5 year-old boy, went to see it with his mother. The works were displayed chronologically, and as he moved through the salons, he suddenly stopped in front of one piece and said to his mother, I think they've made a mistake, this is NOT a Picasso. His mother said she was pretty sure it was, since the museum's experts wouldn't make a mistake like that. He insisted that it wasn't -he thought it was a Braque. A passing docente overheard the conversation and was astounded - the little boy was wrong, it WAS a Picasso..... BUT at the time Picasso painted it, he was living with Braque!! I found it truly mind-boggling that a little kid could see the influence of one artist in the work of another. To some people, such insight might seem trivial, but I suspect this is only one of many, many ways in which these kids can appreciate nuances that would elude most grown-ups. It's only one small demonstration of the sort of brain power these kids are capable of.  Anyway, the point of my very "cheong hei" story is this: we do what we do because we truly believe that it will give our children the sort of opportunity to realise their potential that we never had. Best of all, if we are true to the GD way, they will end up loving every bit of it. No pressure, no stress, no looking back 20 years later and bemoaning that their cruel parents deprived them of a fun childhood, because our sessions only last a few minutes a day and ARE fun. People react badly because they don't understand what it is we do. If you don't think they are capable of "getting it", then just do what you do, don't bother trying to change their mind, and above all, DON'T CARE what they think. Glenn Doman said in one of his lectures that he used to try to argue his case with these people, but then he realised this: people who "get it" will get it the first time they hear about it. Their usual reaction is: Of course, that makes so much sense! But people who won't/ refuse to get it will not get it even if you tell them a hundred times, so you might as well save yourself the effort.  As for what's going on with your dd, I wonder whether you may have started doing too many programs all at once? The usual advice is to start with one program, get that going well so that both mum and child and comfortable with it before adding another one. Also, when you start with an older child, you might have to be more creative in your teaching methods to make the sessions interesting for them. When my ds was about 8-9 months and really enjoying his newfound mobility, I had to play games with him to get him to look at the cards, eg. treasure hunt - hiding the cards, letting him find them then reading them out to him, or laying them out on the ground and helping him hop on each card, reading each one out as he looked at what he was landing on.  Whatever it is, please don't lose confidence. These are the input years, and even if your dd doesn't seem like she's absorbing what you're showing her, trust me, she IS. They are like sponges right now - Maria Montessori calls it the "Absorbent Mind".  Good luck.
