For many parents, they don't want their children to lose at the starting line, so they think education should start at an early age. Now, zero-year-old education has begun to attract many people's attention. Many people are beginning to accept this statement, so what should zero-year-old education do? What specific work should be done? Might as well continue to look down!
Now, zero-year-old education has begun to attract many people's attention. Mom and dad have been paying attention to the child's growth since pregnancy, for fear of missing the critical period of the child. But now all kinds of educational ideas and methods are flooding our lives. Mom and Dad don't know which one to choose, and they don't know how to implement correct and effective zero-year-old education.
Actually, young parents can relax. Although zero-year-old education is of great help to people's growth, we are not educators, and excessive tension will make us in a hurry. How can we make education simple? Let's have a look.
About zero-year-old education
Zero-year-old education is mainly from birth to 1 year-old, but I prefer the saying "infinitely close to zero-year-old education". Because the fetus can accept different information when it is still in the mother's stomach, the child's personality is different after birth.
Education does not begin at birth, but at pregnancy. Therefore, zero-year-old education should cover two stages: before birth (during pregnancy) and after birth (1 year-old).
Zero-year-old education, what to teach?
There is no denying that many parents want early education just to make their babies smarter.
Indeed, early education that pays attention to knowledge and skills can develop children's intelligence. Many famous people who go down in history have grown up like this, such as Mozart and Beethoven. However, we should also know that although these children with special education have made amazing achievements, other "complications" will also occur.
These talented great men, their lives not only have the richness and happiness that ordinary people can't imagine, but also have a lot of mental hardships. Take Mozart for example. He is very ill. After his father died, he lived in distress and finally died young in delusion and depression. Beethoven was a heavy drinker. He got jaundice at the age of 52, vomited blood at the age of 53, and died four years later.
Therefore, the cultivation of simple knowledge and skills can make a genius, but without the cultivation of mind and character, happiness cannot be achieved. Therefore, zero-year-old education is not only to let children have a good IQ, but also to cultivate a good mind and character. In fact, it is popularly called "spiritual education"
Children's "special abilities"
When it comes to spiritual education, many people feel very vague. Because every child has the "special ability" of "type recognition".
Mom and dad may find that just a few days after the baby is born, they can recognize the mother's voice and remember the mother's appearance. Children can't read, and sometimes they can tell it's Coca-Cola when they see the "Coca-Cola" brand. Isn't it amazing?
It is mainly because babies and young children have the "special ability" to receive images completely, while children have this "special ability" because children and adults understand differently. Babies can know their mothers not only by looking at their appearance, but also by smelling, sound, cuddling and posture.
Adults see the signboard of "Coca-Cola" because they are familiar with it in daily life, and then the letters are spelled into one word, while children as a whole look at the font on the signboard and know that something like this stands for "Coca-Cola". So children look at things as a whole.
On this basis, Japanese educator Masaji Inoue put forward the theory of "type education". The word "type" comes from the English word "pattern". Through "types", babies can know intangible things and abstract things as well as words. For example, when a mother asks her child to say thank you, the child recognizes all the polite behaviors, atmosphere, language and expressions contained in "thank you" as a type.
If parents can call this type of knowledge accumulation education, education will become very simple.
Let the baby learn to love from an early age.
It is precisely because children have the "special ability" of "type recognition" that if you want your baby to know something, you just need to show it to your baby. For example, love, the baby feels the love of his parents when he is in his mother's belly, and family members are full of love, care for each other and understand each other; After birth, mom and dad are also very kind to the baby.
In this way, the baby can easily feel the love of his family through "type recognition". Although he can't fully understand it now, when he learns this word in the future, he will understand what sex is and deeply understand it through his own personal feelings. At this time, his understanding of love is not only a literal and abstract understanding, but also an ability.
If children don't feel love in infancy, it's hard to really understand "love" even when children grow up.
Let the baby be like you.
Mom and dad will think about what kind of person their children will become in the future and have expectations for their children. However, to make this expectation come true, we can't just rely on words. So what should we do?
People's abilities, personalities and hobbies are not innate. If the child is in a caring family and the parents understand and respect the elderly, the child will be full of love even if he does not deliberately teach. When the baby grows up, the parents' behavior will reappear in the child, and the child will become a gentle and understanding person.
Therefore, to be a child, we must first set an example.
Create a unique zero-year-old education
Are you still a little confused? I think the answer is already obvious. Every mom and dad have different personalities, and every family can give their children different types. Therefore, as long as you set out with your heart, you can educate your children well.
This is what early education for newborns does. Early education starts from the newborn, which makes the function and structure of the brain more perfect. Newborn refers to the baby from umbilical cord ligation to 28 days after birth. Some parents will say that at this time, the baby can neither talk nor walk. How should we educate him?
In fact, newborns have many physiological and psychological characteristics. Although he doesn't understand the language, his mothers can cultivate his sense of language, take him out for fresh air and familiarize him with the surrounding environment as soon as possible. Early education for newborns begins with five senses:
Taste:
Newborns have a well-developed sense of taste and can accurately distinguish various tastes. He can use facial movements to express his emotional response to various smells, such as sticking out his tongue and blinking.
Vision:
Newborns have the ability to gaze and stare with both eyes. They will look at the person holding them, but they won't comment for long. His eyes are not harmonious, he has a transient strabismus, and he blinks, closes his eyes and frowns when he sees light. You can take a colorful toy and swing it slowly to train your child's eye gaze and coordination ability.
Listening:
The development of hearing is in early childhood, but hearing has been formed in fetal period. When they hear the sound, they will be quiet and stop crying. So at this time, playing some relaxing music and using music for early education will cultivate his aesthetic feeling. Newborns sleep about 16 hours a day. As he grows up, his sleep time will gradually decrease. The baby's sleeping habits are different from those of us adults. At night, he is often full of energy and refuses to sleep. At this time, parents should not be impatient, slowly adjust to him, try to arrange for the baby to stay awake in the afternoon, and then prepare the baby for bed at around 7 pm, tease her for a while or talk to him. This will be very beneficial to him in the future.
Mothers should often talk face to face with their children during breastfeeding to cultivate their children's reaction ability and memory.
Summary: Babies are very conscious of their parents, and they will imperceptibly accept their parents' behaviors and imitate them. Parents should set an example and avoid setting a bad example in the early stage of her thought formation. They should regard him as your best friend, accept their small mistakes like friends and help them correct them.
