Engaged in early education for so many years, I should have shouted: the baby must go to early education. Or be a title party and directly write "Actually, babies don't need early education", but it's silly to think about it. Since it is a forum, Mr. Fang Fang still hopes to help his mother analyze it as objectively as possible, so that mothers can judge for themselves whether their babies should go to early education.
Looking back on my original intention of doing early education, on the one hand, I was born in education, on the other hand, I really saw the problem of early education eight years ago. At that time, there was no standardized early education institution in Chongqing. I took my 1 year-old son to the early education class in Huanghuayuan XX kindergarten by bus, once a week for 40 minutes each time. A * * * persisted for a semester, and then the tuition fee was about 50. My son is very happy and plays wobbly in every class. Before class, the teacher should issue a sign and call the roll. There are so many children that the teacher can't remember them at all. I don't have a deep feeling about what children have gained in a semester of early education. The only thing I remember is that until the last class, the teacher didn't remember the children's names and was still looking at the brands they were wearing, so it was impossible to understand and guide the children. Because of this, I hope to run such a school: early education is not only in the classroom, but also a second home for children before they go to kindergarten. So, back to the topic, do your children really need early education? If you just attend classes, this kind of early education is of little significance. Mom can also find some books to teach her baby.
What other situations can you not attend early education? The first is a small family whose economic situation is not very affluent. We meet many mothers who still want their children to attend early education, but young people have a heavy burden, unshakable mortgage and expensive milk powder, so education can only be postponed temporarily. We understand this situation very well. If there is no condition to do early education because of the economic situation, the mother can tutor the baby, wait for the baby to go to kindergarten soon, then come to the early education institution to study and interact with the teacher, which can also help the baby to make a smooth transition from home to kindergarten. Seeing this, are mothers not so nervous? Yes, early education, not so mysterious, not so noble, not losing at the starting line, is the slogan that hurts my mother the most. Seeing that many mothers in the forum have more than N institutions and attended more than N audition classes, I really feel that it is better to leave these energy and time to the baby and take the baby to participate in some parent-child activities spontaneously organized by the shopaholic forum. Happiness is definitely better than entanglement.
In the second case, early education is not necessary: mothers have a lot of time and energy, and can systematically learn how to educate their babies, how to exercise, what to read, what to learn and what to do at every age, so that mothers can pay attention to the whole process of their babies' growth like teachers. The only deficiency is that children lack social opportunities (social interaction here is different from children playing in the dam of the community every night). How to share, wait and actively communicate between small partners needs mothers to create a social environment to make up for it.
So which families are suitable for sending their babies to early education?
First, the tuition fee of several hundred yuan per month is not a problem. See many mothers scrimping and saving for their children's education and even selling houses and cars? It's totally unnecessary. We don't pay rent for an early education class of 100 yuan (borrow JD. COM advertising language). We had a good time reading a lesson of several tens of yuan. As long as this institution is close to my home, with friendly teachers, formal organization and rich activities, it will be OK.
Second, elderly families with children. Parents leave early and return late, and elders can only help raise them, and education is completely unknown. This kind of baby especially needs to go to early education, let the teacher help, let the teacher observe the sensitive period of the child, and let the elderly learn more suitable educational methods.
Third, learning is not important, but having a communication platform is the most important. If a mother with such an early education concept is actually the most suitable for sending her baby to early education, then look at the previous activities on the website of early education institutions and ask other baby mothers who are studying. You can basically make a judgment about the reputation of this institution. Finding such a school means that the baby can have a rich after-school life before going to kindergarten: birthday party, Children's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Lantern Festival and spring outing, all of which don't need mom to prepare and organize. You just need to make time to take your baby to enjoy the rare parent-child time every time, and these are the most important growth experiences for your baby.
In short: early education is indeed better than no early education, and early education activities are more important than early education courses. I sincerely hope that our parents can take their babies to participate in various parent-child activities and let them grow up happily in a loving atmosphere.
