La BuissonnièreQuel genre de crèche 8/8 - Le langage des adultesC’est notre dernier épisode et pourtant l’un des plus important… le langage, notre langage ! La manière dont nous parlons aux enfants à un impact direct sur eux… car nous ne parlons pas pareil à une fille et un garçon.On utilise par exemple pas les même adjectifs : On parlera plus facilement de “grand” “fort” pour les garçons et “belle, mignonne et gentille” pour les filles. Pareil pour les surnoms… quand on auto-analyse nos réflexes c’est assez fous.On utilise principalement un langage instrumental avec les garçons versus un langage plus émotionnel avec les...2023-12-2510 min
La BuissonnièreQuel genre de crèche 7/8 - Le corpsDès tout petits les enfants sont curieux à propos de leur corps. Ils explorent donc autant leurs organes génitaux que leurs doigts et leurs orteils. Les garçons découvrent leurs organes génitaux vers 8 mois et les filles, vers 10 à 12 mois.Forcément, cela fait émerger des questions d’enfant en crèche. Ici, on répond simplement avec les vrais mots qui décrivent les différentes parties du corps de l’enfant.Encore une fois, on assiste ici à la force de cette crèche : le travail d’équipe. Bien évidemment cette discussion autour du corps n’est pas...2023-12-2008 min
La BuissonnièreQuel genre de crèche 6/8 - Être et paraîtreEtre et paraître est un sujet important dès la crèche. Les enfants reproduisent ce que nous faisons et surtout ils intègrent chaque mot et intonation à leur égard. Souvent, sur ce sujet, c’est assez inconscient. Plusieurs organismes de formation proposent de filmer ou d’assister sans dire un mot pendant plusieurs jours afin de relever les différentes manières de parler. La plupart du temps avant le rendu de l’expérimentation, les adultes pensent s’adresser exactement pareil aux filles ou aux garçons… et bien ce n’est pas le cas.
La plupart d’entre n...2023-12-0415 min

La BuissonnièreQuel genre de crèche 4/8 - Rire et pleurerAccueillir les émotions de tous les enfants, sans distinction… voilà un challenge ! On ne se rend pas forcément compte mais nos réactions aux émotions exprimées par les enfants sont souvent pleines de stéréotypes.
Vous avez surement déjà du entendre qu’un garçon doit être fort et ne pas pleurer “comme une fillette” et qu’une fille ne doit pas faire son hystérique car “tu n’es pas belle quand tu fais des colères”
D’après des études américaines, les petites filles intériorisent un...2023-11-2008 min
La BuissonnièreQuel genre de crèche 3/8 - Livres en tout genre78% des livres pour enfants ont un héros masculin, décrit pour ses qualités et défauts, sans précision sur les attributs de genre (on ne dira pas qu’il est beau, brun, en pantalon…), tandis que les personnages féminins sont décrits physiquement à l’aide d’attributs associés aux femmes. Et ce n’est pas que dans les textes, les illustrations permettent aux enfants de reconnaître papa et maman, même quand ce sont des animaux. Comment ça ? c’est simple, maman est maquillée, avec des bijoux et une robe. Le père est neutre.

La BuissonnièreQuel genre de crèche 2/8 - À vous de jouerL’aménagement en crèche est décisif.

Ne pas faire de petits coins éloignés les uns des autres, pour permettre que les jeux soient testé par tous les enfants, facilement.
Seulement 38% des jeux sont considéré comme mixtes. Donc forcément, les garçons ont tendance à jouer entre eux aux voitures, ballons, constructions et les filles entre elles aux jeux d’imitation, à la poupée, la dînette et la p...2023-11-0615 min
