Some people say that education begins from the moment a child is born.

In order to prevent children from losing at the starting line, more and more parents are scrambling to send their children to preschool classes and interest classes.

The economic cost of raising a child is getting higher and higher, such as Montessori, Reggio and Waldorf, all of which are tall early education classes, ranging from one to 201 classes to thousands.

Two days ago, Ma Bao downstairs told me about her early education class, which was expensive and uneconomical.

It turned out that last weekend, she accompanied her baby to the parent-child early education class and found that the teacher just took some vegetables for the baby to smell.

Ma Bao looks silly. You let my children play with vegetables and have a lesson in 500 yuan?

After class, Ma Bao strongly demanded a refund.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the early education course itself.

Touching and smelling fresh vegetables for children is an education of sensory stimulation for children.

It's just that Ma Bao doesn't understand the meaning of education, so she feels that all the money is spent in Shui Piao.

Early education, that is, early cognitive enlightenment, also known as intellectual development, ability training, sensory training and so on.

Dewey, a famous educator, once said that education comes from life.

In other words, children's cognitive enlightenment can actually be satisfied and developed in daily life, and paying high prices for courses is not the only way.

Really good cognitive enlightenment, children can also learn in life.

For example, taking children to the supermarket can benefit children from 6 months to over 6 years old.

So, what is the educational significance of taking children to the supermarket?

1. Cultivate children's habit of making lists

Making a shopping list can cultivate children's order and improve efficiency. At the same time, it can also prevent children from buying irrelevant items.

I remember in the first season of Peggy Piggy, there was a supermarket shopping experience in which Peggy and George searched for what they needed according to the shopping list. George said he wanted to buy dinosaurs, and everyone told him, "George, this is not on our shopping list." George had to give up.

Many treasure moms are afraid to take their children to the supermarket just because they are worried that their children will lose control and lose their temper when they look at a toy or snack. If you make a good list, you can easily avoid similar embarrassing situations. I suggest you watch this animation before taking care of the children. )

2. Help children know common words.

There is a very obvious name on the label of the product, and the font is not only beautiful but also large, which is easier for children to recognize.

Therefore, when visiting the supermarket, Bao's father Ma Bao can let the children know the words on the label, unlike the boring routine literacy, children often enjoy it.

3. Improve children's arithmetic ability

When shopping in the supermarket, it is inevitable to calculate the price of goods. These simple addition and subtraction methods are very suitable for children.

Therefore, when shopping, letting children do some arithmetic training can not only cultivate their arithmetic ability, but also let them know how much money they spent today and cultivate their awareness of saving money in advance.

4. Exercise children's self-control ability

Supermarket operators are well versed in marketing, and exquisite articles are full of temptations for children. Shopping as planned not only exercises children's ability to resist temptation, but also cultivates their self-control ability invisibly.

Of course, in the process of shopping, parents should also give their children the right to decide on some items. For example, what flavor of yogurt to buy and how many apples to buy can be decided by the children themselves.

5. Cultivate children's ability to sort things out.

The placement of supermarket goods should not only be convenient according to the needs of customers, but also be strictly classified. A clean and orderly environment is conducive to cultivating children's good habits of sorting, sorting and storage.
