The biggest difference between the education of children in the past and the education of children now is that the education of children in the past was mainly in the natural economic and cultural environment, and parents and communities mainly influenced their children in the form of community culture. Education is generally carried out unconsciously and naturally. Families with economic foundation and culture begin to teach their children more culture, learn written language, learn culture and ideas after their children grow up. For example, private schools in ancient China. This is more abstract and concrete. In the past, no matter in rural areas or towns, children were born within one year old, which is similar to ours now. Parents or the elderly bring them, the family conditions are good, adults bring them more, the living conditions are good and the nutrition is good. If the conditions are poor, the situation may be worse. How to raise children is mainly a matter of experience passed down from generation to generation. For example, when children should eat complementary food, the traditional saying is that after 100 days, children should be brought to the dining table to rub chopsticks. Dip some rice and vegetable water with chopsticks when eating, let them suck with their mouths, and then gradually transition to eating after five or six months. Now we advocate scientific feeding. In fact, this feeding method was the most scientific in the past. At that time, there was no milk, and mothers would not think of keeping fit or breastfeeding their children. After the baby is born, it will eat its mother's milk. In three or four months, he will gradually adapt to all kinds of natural foods, and after six months, he will gradually concentrate on eating. Old people often say that children can eat like pigs as long as they are not picky about food. This is experience passed down from generation to generation, not science. But it is much better than many so-called scientific feeding methods now. I have seen many pediatricians feed their children like thin monkeys and often get sick. So don't make science too mechanical and rigid, but also learn useful experience from tradition. Speaking of children's intellectual development, everyone used to live in a village, a quadrangle and an alley. When the child is less than one year old, everyone hugs him. Doby's language ability and social adaptability can develop rapidly, and everyone is familiar with him since childhood. I am familiar with most people in the village and hutong, and talk to all kinds of people. Do you think children's language and social behavior skills will be poor? If they are older, older children will take them out to play, climb trees by the river and on the beach. There was never sensory integration disorder at that time. Will children who run around, climb trees, catch fish and dig out birds' eggs be uncoordinated? No way! I said why Americans create a sensory integration disorder for their children. It makes sense to think about it carefully. They had lived in the building for decades before we moved in. Children are kept at home every day, and grandparents are afraid of falling somewhere and hugging tightly every day. How can they not feel the obstacle of integration! Now there are no trees, no eggs, and no children together. Parents spend tens of dollars every week to treat their children with sensory integration disorder in the treatment center. Language ability: In the past, children lived and played with many adults and children older than him, and their oral ability naturally developed. Parents don't need to teach him, many children can talk. At that time, there was no TV and tape recorder. Children and adults were listening to folk artists telling stories and singing operas in the rice fields in the village. After the festival, the children even went to the theatre on the spot and even ran dozens of miles. Children in the town are better off. When I was a child, I went to the teahouse to listen to books with my children, and I listened to adults singing in the alley in summer nights. In this way, language comprehension and expression, cultural and historical knowledge are passed down from generation to generation (see Wei Xiaobao). Many people who don't know a word have good language skills. Many folk artists, who don't know a word, are simply masters of language. The language ability is much better than that of many Chinese graduates now. After the age of four or five, children play all kinds of games together until primary school age. Girls catch children, play badminton, jump rope, and so on. Boys fight together, play with beads and make guns and knives. When I was a child, I dug yellow mud, made guns, put them in the sun, burned them in the fire and stuck them in my waist. It is really difficult to train children's fine hand ability and spatial ability now. Adults teach them, children don't want to learn, and watching cartoons ignores you. In the past, games played by children were also an educational method of intellectual development passed down from generation to generation. Adults rarely teach children, children teach children, and older children teach children, generation after generation. These games are very good training methods, which are many times better than those given to you by experts in parent-child centers and training centers. Unfortunately, thousands of years of excellent intellectual development training methods and educational methods will soon disappear in just one or two decades! In the past culture, the study of children's living ability was also all-educational. Girls began to learn needlework and embroidery at the age of three or four, tied small shirts at the age of three or four, and made embroidery shelves after the age of seven. I can't think of any games and jobs that are more meaningful to girls than embroidery. Fine handwork ability, painting ability, space geometry ability, imagination, creativity, color ability, artistic appreciation, especially perseverance and diligence are all exercised in embroidery. Boys in rural areas help their fathers when they are very young, and children of urban craftsmen (craftsmen) learn from their fathers when they are very young. In this way, intelligence, knowledge, culture, skills and social ability are passed down and developed from generation to generation. In families with conditions, when children reach a certain age, they go to private schools and begin to learn written language, read and read, and learn more profound truth and art. With the development of industrialized society, the old natural economy has disintegrated, and the cultural environment based on natural economy has also disintegrated. We all moved into tall buildings, like pigeon cages. No mountains, no streams, no forests, no eggs, no yellow mud, no quadrangles, no hutongs. We don't have the same financial support and interests as the people around us, so we seldom communicate. We used to know what our neighbors had for lunch and give the children next door a chopstick. Now I can't even smell cooking at home. The foundation of thousands of years of education in China no longer exists, and the educational chain passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years is broken. Problems that didn't exist before have all appeared, such as sensory integration disorder, social maladjustment, children's behavior retreat, language expression and understanding obstacles, fine movements, children becoming little emperors, and even kowtowing to their little ancestors when eating! The competition is fierce. What will the children be like in the future? They should study hard. Looking for experts, educators, psychologists, experts made a lot of plans for us and did a lot of tests, intellectual and non-intellectual, one after another. Is this early education? Children study hard and go to the best kindergarten. Parents and old people are exhausted. But children have more and more problems. Children immediately become problem-solving machines after going to school, and parents are more and more anxious about exams, exams, scores, scores! Now we all know that the purpose of early education is not to teach, but it is necessary in today's society. . . . The living environment and educational environment are different now. People used to be simple, and sometimes they didn't have to close the door when they slept at night. Children live happily everywhere, playing with water, climbing trees to catch cicadas and catching corn in baked sweet potatoes. When farmers are busy, they go to the fields to play with small animals made of straw. In the past, parents paid little attention to their children, mostly older children, and children also learned and grew up from this environment. Good ability in all aspects. What about the present environment? When the society is complicated, there will always be news of robbing children. If you feel insecure, you will lock your children in your room for fear that they will be hurt. If you don't eat, you will worry about whether your child will grow up. When you cry, you immediately compromise. The little emperor and princess came out, cried when she was wronged, and came up when she was young. Society is progressing and science and technology are developing, but our humanities education has indeed regressed. Nowadays, many young people in society are addicted to games, online dating, do not like reading, are afraid of hardship and are not filial to their parents. The society has progressed, but our quality has not kept up, which deserves our deep thought. Today's children, in such a complicated environment, need early education more. How did they do it? Some parents only encourage early education. Children who are too elementary school will not study hard and have no happy childhood. Such parents do tend to be too eager for success or only pay attention to intellectual development and neglect other aspects of training, so some precocious children will commit suicide or can't stand a little blow and go to the bottom of their lives. This has also caused many parents to question. I'm anxious. How should I teach early? Personally, I think that we both study and play in life, and our parents are the best teachers. However, many parents feel that the language of themselves and their children is very pale. Even those with higher education are at a loss in parenting and don't know how to play and communicate with their children. In fact, many times our parents find it very complicated. As long as you let go of your parents, you can put down your airs and communicate with your children. You can change your identity and communicate with your children with their thoughts. How many parents can do this? How many friends can be like children? Often, those children who are severely disciplined by beatings have worse temper, and some privacy will not be communicated with their parents. Treat children as friends. Some things children will tell their parents when they grow up, and they can be dealt with in time. It is very important to cultivate good habits, emotional intelligence, concentration, independence, exploration and intellectual development. We should add some correct guidance and learning at an appropriate time.
