What is early education? Makarenko, a famous educator in the Soviet Union, said that "the foundation of education is mainly laid before the age of five, which accounts for 90% of the whole education process". This shows that it is very necessary to carry out early education for babies, so do you know the significance of early education?

The significance of early education 1 What is early education?

Many people think that early education is preschool education, but this is an unscientific understanding. In fact, this refers to developing children's potential according to their different characteristics before entering primary school, so as to improve their comprehensive quality in expression, intelligence and communication. There are two views on the concept of early education so far. Broadly speaking, it refers to the development of physical and mental education of children aged 0 to 6 before entering school; In a narrow sense, it refers to the early learning stage from infancy to three years old.

The Significance of Early Education

meaning

Children are everything to parents. Scientific research shows that the human brain weighs 400 grams at birth, which is 25% of the adult intelligence. It becomes 50% after six months and 66% after twelve months. At the age of three, he will reach 80% of adult intelligence. This is the so-called "three years old for life", which proves that early childhood is an important period for developing intelligence. However, many parents are afraid that early education will affect their children's healthy growth. In fact, this is simply much ado about nothing. Research shows that the colorful activities and teaching methods of early education will not only hinder the development of the brain, but also stimulate the speed of intellectual development. At the same time, before the age of 3, children will get twice the result with half the effort with the help of their parents.

Necessity

According to incomplete statistics, the income level of early childhood children is 2.5 times that of ordinary children. Although this is only based on the income level to explain the different degrees of development, it just shows the different degrees of development of their intelligence and emotional intelligence. Experts believe that parents must never ignore childhood, because it is an important stage to develop children's various potentials. The sensitive period of people to all aspects is often concentrated in the first few years of life, and that period will be preserved in the memory of children's life.

Principles of early education

1, interest principle

Follow the principle of interest first. Children who are still toddlers can't study persistently, but they can watch and participate in things that arouse their curiosity and interest for a long time. For children, learning and playing are the same, the activity of puzzle is learning, and interesting learning is playing. Parents should adapt to their children's psychological characteristics of playing, focus on playing Chinese characters and let their children play middle school, so that whether it is simple or difficult, important or useless, whether in class or after class, children will unconsciously or intentionally write it down and gradually understand and use it.

2. Principles of life

Children in early childhood are in the exploration period, and they are full of exploration desire for almost all interesting things. Parents can educate their children with ready-made things in life. For example, if a child likes cookies, you can teach him what cookies are. When the child wants to eat, ask him what cookies he wants to eat and let him find them himself. If parents have enough time, they can often take their children out for a walk to familiarize them with the surrounding environment, which will make them feel novel and willing to cooperate with their parents in learning.

3. Educational principles

There has been a saying since ancient times that children's behaviors and thoughts are influenced by their parents. Children in early childhood have the strongest learning ability and generally imitate their parents' behavior, so parents should set an example.

Usually, parents should educate their children with their own actions. For example, when walking with a child on the road and seeing a disabled beggar, parents should give the child money, let the child gently put the money in front of the beggar and cultivate the child's love; For example, after eating snacks in the street, let the children throw the garbage into the trash can. Don't throw it around. If parents throw it away, it will make children have no awareness of caring for the environment in the future.

Types of early education

Music early education

Music is an art and a basic talent. It has no threshold and does not need a child's high IQ. This is a culture, and everyone can learn and exert their charm. Experts have studied children from birth to six years old and found that early music education is beneficial to children in the following aspects:

1, pay attention

Children are curious about everything new, so it is easy to distract them. However, soft concerts make children's attention grow constantly, and it is difficult to produce negative emotions. Listening to appropriate classical music to children every day helps to improve their attention.

2. Language ability

Music is not only an art, but also a special form of education, which is one of the ways to help train language expression ability. For example, children can listen carefully to the classical music of famous musicians in a relaxed state, and teachers or parents can explain it appropriately to help children understand the meaning and artistic conception of music. It is best to let the children listen to the music again after listening to the explanation and be able to say the explanation just now. In the long run, not only the children's musical ability will be improved, but also their language expression ability will be improved a lot.

Step 3 remember

If you want to improve your memory, you need training, and music is the best training material. A musician once did an experiment and found that if children were continuously played music in a loop with explanations, they would recognize the once familiar music in many songs until they were five months old. This experiment tells parents that five-month-old children can begin to remember music.

Step 4 imagine

If you want your baby's thinking to be unconstrained, you can try music early education. Music can strongly activate the baby's brain and give the child endless imagination.

However, although music early education has many benefits, it can't be ignored. Parents should pay attention to choosing suitable music, such as classical music and other light music, instead of blindly choosing, and pay attention to playing it at the right time.

The Significance of Early Education 2 Reading Early Education

First of all, we must understand that teaching children to read is to make them interested in reading, not just to learn knowledge and make them like reading. This is the most important purpose.

1, 0-6 months

Read articles to children every day from their arrival, usually for six months. Reading articles can not only make the baby get used to parents' voices, but also make the baby get used to seeing and touching books, which is the first step to make the baby interested in books.

2,6 months-1 year

During this period, children have a little understanding of things, so they can start reading children's books and teach them the names of simple objects in the books.

3. 1-2 years old

From one year old to two years old, you can tell children some simple short stories, teach them with picture books, point to what they have said, increase their vocabulary and enrich their emotions.

4, 2-3 years old

At this stage of 2-3 years old, children's playfulness is relatively high, which is most suitable for children to develop good reading habits. The requirement at this stage is that children's vocabulary can be increased to about 1000, and they can speak simple words at the same time. How to let children learn while playing? Children can be encouraged to imagine the ending of the story by themselves. Parents can also read picture books with their babies, or parents can ask and children can answer.

Misunderstanding of early education

1, overindulgence

Spoil is not love, but hurt. Spoiling will bury children's ability, which is not conducive to their natural development. Parents should let the baby know from an early age that toys should be cleaned up by himself, learn to eat independently, stand up by himself when he falls down, and cultivate his independence. In this way, the baby can have a more sense of accomplishment, the child can grow up healthily, and he can go smoothly on the road of life in the future.

2. No hand-snapping index.

Psychologists say children can be taught to count by counting their fingers. For example, parents should let them learn from counting fingers, buttons and other concrete things in life.

3. Early education equals learning.

The gold content in early childhood is very high, because the baby's nervous system develops rapidly at this time, which is the best period for parenting and can promote intellectual development. Of course, the focus of education varies with the age of the baby. 0- 1 year-old children should focus on motor, vocal and parent-child interaction training, while 1-3-year-old children should also be trained in motor continuity, five senses perception, communication with friends and play. , contribute to all-round development.

Matters needing attention in early education

1, mental cultivation can't be instilled stiffly.

The essence of early education is to let children grow up together under the correct guidance of their parents and learn knowledge and skills in advance, which will only make children more disgusted with what they have learned, and eventually lead to a situation of not taking the initiative to learn, or even being tired of learning and skipping classes. Nowadays, many parents don't want their children to lose at the starting point, so they let their children participate in various training courses and remedial classes, which leads to a younger and younger age of weariness.

Children under 2.5 years old should not learn steel.

The baby is under 5 years old, the joints are still developing, and the bones and joints are relatively fragile and relaxed. Practicing the piano at this time will affect the normal development and growth of fingers. In addition, if the sitting posture is not correct, it is easy to cause the child's physical growth and development deformity, such as the shoulders on both sides are not at the same height, the spine is not straight and so on.

3. Dress affects a child's life.

During the period of 3-5 years old, the child's awareness of color is improved, which is the key period to cultivate him to perceive color, recognize shape changes and feel whether clothes fit. Therefore, we should seize this opportunity to educate our children on clothing. Wearing clothes is unsightly, which is not conducive to the baby to form a good aesthetic.

The key to implementing early education

1, maintaining a high degree of "sensitivity"

Parents are the people that children depend on most, and they are also the people who accompany their children the most. Therefore, parents must always pay attention to their children's development and maintain a highly agile insight into their children's various performances.

2. Choose a suitable parenting method.

As excellent parents, we should look for the most suitable education method for children according to their different ages and their own development level, instead of generalizing.

3. Be good at using educational tools

It is best not to have a single educational tool. Pictures, CDs, multimedia, toys and parent-child interaction are all available tools for parents to educate their children.
