When we look up the Nobel Prize winning records over the years, we will find that Germans have won more than one third of the Nobel Prizes, which highlights the high quality of German education.
To this end, we should also learn the essence of German education, improve our educational philosophy and provide a better educational environment for children.
What is the difference between Germany's educational philosophy and ours? For parents in China who are accustomed to exam-oriented education, there is only one sign that determines their children's success and Excellence, and that is exam results.
Therefore, children should learn the contents of textbooks early from kindergarten, which leads to children losing the opportunity to exercise their creativity and being trapped by books. The early education in Germany is the opposite.
Pay attention to the cultivation of children's life skills. The age of kindergartens in Germany is not divided according to the age of children. In the kindergarten curriculum, basic life knowledge occupies the majority, and life skills and life planning are also what children need to learn.
Before going to primary school, it is a goal of kindergarten to let children have some ability to live independently.
The combination of practice and books in German kindergartens is not limited to classes in classrooms. Teachers will let children master book knowledge quickly through practice, and at the same time, they can also cultivate their exploration ability and creativity.
Let children get in touch with nature more. There are about 1500 forest kindergartens in Germany, which is also the key to support children to carry out outdoor courses. Let children get in close contact with nature, let children experience life better and explore the world.
For Germans, laying a good foundation for children's habits and personality before entering school can help children enter the learning state quickly. This is also the case. German children's ability to explore and read is the envy of parents in China.
Exploring Ability When we educate our children, we usually adopt a "spoon-feeding" education method, instilling knowledge into our children and then letting them think. In this way, children passively accept knowledge, just like completing a task to learn, which leads to children losing interest and curiosity in learning, and naturally they have no initiative to learn and lack the ability to explore new knowledge.
Children in early education in Germany are used to exploring everything they are interested in in in nature. Teachers will tell them that everything you want to know is in the future school education, so that children will have a desire to explore the knowledge in books and be full of desire for new knowledge.
Reading Ability When children were young, children in China were exposed to all kinds of interesting books. When they go to school, all they have left is boring textbooks.
It's different in Germany. A country with a total population of only 1.2% has a stock of books in 12% languages in the world. Moreover, bookstores in Germany are everywhere, and bookstores are always crowded. Even people waiting for buses in subways and restaurants are everywhere with books in their hands.
Reading can broaden children's horizons, expand their thinking, and even guide children to establish their own three views.
Under the unique national conditions in China, how should parents learn from German educational methods to educate their children? In the early education stage, cram schools that focus on children's physical and mental health can easily make children feel tired of learning.
In the early education stage, it is most important to pay attention to the cultivation of children's character and life skills. Premature "cramming education" will only oppress their healthy physical and mental growth and play, which is what children should do at this stage.
Spend more time with children after work, take them close to nature, go out for a walk, satisfy children's exploration of the world, and effectively enhance parent-child feelings.

Is winning at the starting line really a victory? It doesn't look like it. How many smiling children who were crushed by heavy schoolwork early finally got tired of learning? Why not try to give them a happy childhood? It is the best educational method to let children explore and learn by themselves without worry and let nature take its course.
