When I was engaged in early education in Min Min, many young parents would come to class with their 3-month-old babies, and even in winter, they would hardly be absent! Some people will say that what a three-month-old child can understand is a scam! That was not the case. Early education is not only to educate children, but also to let parents learn how to interact with their babies, how to train their babies and how to stimulate their potential.
Based on the theory of balanced development of physical, intellectual and psychological abilities, the Science Early Education Center has seized six years of gold for children. However, the quality of early education centers is uneven and the price is high, so many parents don't know how to choose. After a long delay, the children have missed the age of early education! In fact, you often do these four things before you are 3 years old, so that you can do early education for your children at home and promote your baby's brain development, which is better than early education classes.
Before I was 3 years old, I often did these four things to promote the baby's brain development, which was better than the early education class.
Studies have shown that touching a baby in infancy can not only promote the parent-child relationship and help children build a sense of security, but also promote the development of the baby's nervous system and improve the baby's IQ and EQ. The denser the nerves in the baby, the more they are tied, and the more they can stimulate the baby's intelligence. Parents can touch their children's feet, hands and back more.
There are 66 acupoints and 72 reflex zones on the foot. Frequent touching can stimulate nerve signal transmission and promote brain development. There are also many dense nerves on the baby's fingers, which are very sensitive, so there are ten fingers connected to a heart. Parents often touch their children's baby's hand, or let the baby grab your hand, which is a deep development of the cerebral cortex. There are many spinal nerves all over the back. Frequent touching can enhance the response of neurons and make the baby's limbs more cooperative.
Second, take the baby to the supermarket.
Many parents don't like taking their babies to the supermarket. The baby is too young to take, and the older baby runs around! But this is a wrong way to promote the baby's brain development. After the baby is half a year old, parents can often take their children to the supermarket! The supermarket is full of sound, color, shape and taste, which can stimulate children's hearing, sight, touch and taste. Supermarket is a good place to develop their cognition.
For a half-year-old baby, taking him for a walk in the supermarket is just exercising his brain. In the middle, he can let children touch objects with different shapes, so that children have more sensory stimulation. After the baby 1 year old, he has a preliminary understanding of food. When you buy fruit with your baby, you can ask your child if he likes bananas. Do you like apples? This kind of question makes the baby think and exercise his language ability.
Children can go shopping with their mothers when they are 2 years old. Parents should cultivate their baby's initial understanding of quantity, which is helpful to the formation of later mathematical thinking. For example, we want to buy two apples today, and you can help his mother get two apples. Babies will love this challenge. When the baby is 3 years old, parents can let the baby choose some things to buy and let the baby pay. This not only exercises the baby's logical thinking ability, but also indirectly educates the child's financial quotient.
Third, play games with children.
Games are the most suitable activities for children's nature, which can make children's brains think positively, and at the same time, the whole person participates in the games. During the game, children can also understand the rules and learn to deal with interpersonal relationships. And during the game, there will be exercise. Exercise can produce dopamine and norepinephrine, which can make children more self-controlled and more focused.
Parents can play hide-and-seek with their children, eagles catch chickens and so on. Children like running, jumping and chasing games very much. In addition, parents can play with their children, build blocks and fight dinosaurs, which can enhance their imagination and have a better parent-child relationship. In addition, playing some games with children originally developed the left and right brains, and children can also develop the left and right brains in play.
Fourth, bedtime stories
An experimental follow-up survey once showed that the key factors that determine a person's future success or failure are self-control, integrity and perseverance. It is a more effective way to cultivate children with these qualities through reading. Children with reading habits have stronger self-control and higher concentration. Children will learn kindness and integrity from stories they heard in their early years.
Picture books are the most suitable books for children. Babies prefer to see bright and interesting pictures. When listening to parents telling stories, I exercised my thinking ability and improved my language expression ability. At the same time, parents can let their children read picture books, retell stories and translate pictures into language, which increases the cooperation between the left and right brains, and the children's logical thinking will be clearer and more organized. It can also guide children's behavior and let children have good quality! Therefore, parents should regard telling stories before going to bed as a habit, and seize the sensitive reading period before the age of 6, which is helpful to cultivate children's reading habits for life.
