1 the role of early education centers in stimulating the intelligence of infants and young children is purely over-publicized. No school or institution in the world can compete with the most powerful force of mankind-genes. In fact, 80% of the genes in our bodies have determined most of the contents that we want to train children in early education centers: physical development, athletic ability, intelligence and cognition.
2. Just play at home, and don't take any early education classes.
Back to the original point, what is the purpose of your child's early education class? Let's not talk about the advantages of propaganda of early education institutions: what thinking power, leadership and action power.
What are the benefits of attending an early education center from the baby?
1) Multi-movement
Gymboree Center can provide a spacious, colorful and, most importantly, relatively safe place for activities, especially suitable for toddlers who just learned to climb at that time. Sponge bags are everywhere. I can leave half an eye on the child when I throw them there. No matter how she struggles, I don't have to worry about where she will bump into.
Children exercise more and mothers worry less. Large-scale sports are very important for children's early education. Compared with Gymboree, the limited equipment and space at home may even be hidden and dangerous, and it is easy to trip and not enough.
2) High quality parent-child companionship
Early education course is not only for children, it needs parents and children to participate together, because there are many links that need parents and children to interact, such as holding children high and playing with parachutes, observing and assisting children to do manual work but unwilling to be creative by children, and dancing with children to music. This is a fun parent-child activity, which consumes physical strength and energy. This is a scene that is not easy for us to take care of our children at home.
If you enroll your child in an early education class, but don't attend it yourself, and let the nanny or the elderly at home attend it, it will lose the meaning of attending the early education class, which is purely a waste.
3) Grasp the English environment from an early age.
All the courses in the early education center, including music, are in English, which has a certain effect on the baby's English enlightenment. Although a few classes will not make a bilingual baby, many contents of the early education center can be used as materials for parents to cultivate English after returning home if their children show great interest.
The best way to learn is of course fun! My baby likes GYMBO's theme divine comedy since he was a child, so when I get home, I will chew my ear and talk with her. Now, she has memorized the melody and movements of the whole song and realized the meanings of phrases in the lyrics, such as side to side, up and down, peek a boo.
4) Early education can also enhance social skills.
In the early education class, there are many children of the same age, and children can have more opportunities to contact them. In the process of contact with others, they will find that playing with others is also a lot of fun, which has a certain alleviating effect on children who are separated from anxiety, and will gradually feel at ease and get rid of their parents' company;
In the early education center, children also have the opportunity to deal with small social conflicts with their parents, such as queuing, sharing toys with other children, and returning toys when the time comes. These problems that children will face in kindergarten in the future have long been involved in early education classes, so he can better deal with these problems in the future.
The course content realized by the early education center is not complicated and profound: the courses for 0-3 years old are generally divided into sports, music and art, and most of the course content can be realized in family education without going to early education institutions for educational enlightenment.
What supports me to make the above judgment is Montessori's educational philosophy that I highly admire since I was a student. Montessori first emphasized the quality and inner vitality of people and genes. She said: "Children's growth is due to the development of their inner life potential, which shows their vitality, and his life develops according to the biological laws determined by heredity." That is to say, as Ma Meng said, those who are called geniuses are likely to be born with beauty rather than nurture.
At the same time, she believes that the impulse of vitality is expressed through children's spontaneous activities. "Life is dynamic and can only develop through activities." She emphasized that creating a suitable environment is an important means to promote children's development, which can also be realized in the family.
In short, if you want to train your children effectively, you can't do it without your parents' hands-on. If you are not good enough, then even the best early education class is useless.
As the article is written here, Ma Meng's point of view is clear: early education is not equal to early education institutions. If the family has the conditions to be guided by parents, there is absolutely no need to go to early education classes. This proposition is a bit like whether adults who need exercise must go to the gym to do card sports. Of course not, as long as you have the right venue and the right amount of sports knowledge, you can do it yourself.
