Construction of Comprehensive Strategies for the Self-service Ability Cultivation of Chinese Children Aged 2-4 Years

Wenwen Du

Abstract


The period of 2 to 4 years constitutes a critical sensitive window for developing children's self-service abilities, facilitating both independent personality formation and sustainable long-term development. However, existing research lacks systematic educational frameworks
that integrate rigorous theory with feasible practice. Against this backdrop, this study, grounded in the developmental characteristics of 2- to
4-year-olds, integrates Tao Xingzhi's Life Education Theory, Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory, and Erikson's Psychosocial Development Theory to construct a comprehensive cultivation strategy model-"Two Driving Forces, Three Theoretical Guides, and Four Collaborative Mechanisms." This model aims to provide solid theoretical references and actionable practical pathways for standardized, scientific early
childhood education.
