Sometimes small children argue and behave quite reasonably. And here as far as the logic in thoughts and acts is inherent in them? Whether it is necessary to develop in general logical thinking at children of preschool age? For what it is useful and how it should be done?
Instruction
1. Certainly, it is useful, it is actually necessary that the child by the time of receipt in the first class was able to read and understand read at least slowly. Without close acquaintance with figures and ability to add-take away within ten behind a school school desk it will also be difficult. But it is much easier for the child taught to argue logically to fill any shortcoming of information, and the knowledge base given to future school student in family and kindergarten will begin to lack for successful overcoming the school program soon. For this reason, on an equal basis with acquaintance to the world around, reading and elements of mathematics it is necessary to develop logical thinking at children.
2. The first steps in this area have to be absolutely imperceptible for the child and have character of a conversation or game. It is necessary to speak mainly, of course, to the adult. "Did you eat apple, and watermelon will be enough for all, it is much more than apple", "Why a grass wet? The rain was! Correctly", "In the yard someone barks, there, probably, there is who? Truly, the dog" and if the child complements this conclusion with the opinion that the dog barks at a cat or that with a dog the person walks - means, it joined in your logical game and adopted rules.
3. When the child already quite surely draws conclusions, it is necessary to offer him for the decision as life situations: "It is necessary in shop, and on the street the rain drizzles what we will do?" To listen to options, it is possible also ridiculous, to praise for where the logical reasoning sounds and if you choose other option, then also shortly and logically prove it.
4. For the preschool child already familiar with the solution of the simplest arithmetic examples, discussion of that will be useful, for some reason the number is less than it, and "more" - "less" for descriptive reasons it is possible to present in the form of actions with objects, "Five felt-tip pens, here you took away-moved away two, there were three, same it is less?".
