Some people think that early education should be extended to prenatal education during pregnancy, while others think that early education should focus on intellectual development. But no matter what kind of understanding, it is certain that early education is very important for children.
Because the brain development of children is the fastest in the first three years, it is close to the brain capacity of adults by the age of seven, and it is no different from adults by the age of ten.
Therefore, as long as the method is correct, there will be no situation of "pulling out the seedlings to encourage". On the contrary, early teaching contributes to the development of children's intelligence, physical fitness, thinking ability and concentration.
Generally speaking, early education is nothing more than two ways. One is to send children to early education centers and let professionals help them develop early education. The other is to carry out family education so that children can have early education at home.
For the first way, it is suitable for families with good economic foundation. Generally speaking, an early education class is about 200 yuan, and it often takes dozens or even 100 classes, so it is also a big expense. Parents can choose an early education center with good local reputation to register for the experience class. Through on-site class experience, it is easy to decide whether to apply to this institution.
For the second way, it is suitable for families where parents have a lot of time and can learn parenting knowledge for self-growth. This is an economical and effective way of early education. After all, parents are children's first teachers.
Then, for most of our ordinary families, how to carry out family education to help children develop at an early age? The following points are for reference.
1. Grasp the sensitive period of children at different stages and guide them so that children's abilities can be fully developed in the critical period of a sensitive period.
For example, when a child has a strong appetite, he will put everything in his mouth to taste. This is his way of knowing the world, and this is his normal growth law. Parents should not stop the baby at this time. A good practice is to ensure that the baby can taste it safely. This is early education.
2. Carry out parent-child reading. In recent years, parent-child reading has been recognized by many people, and many people are practicing it. To be sure, the children's language vocabulary, intellectual development and * * * emotional choices in families with parent-child reading are more than those in families without parent-child reading.
Parent-child reading does not need strict procedures and forms, but only a picture book suitable for children. Parents can read it to their children warmly. Parents' voices are natural voices for children, and they don't need standard Mandarin, but only need to accompany them. This is also an early education.
3. Teach children to read and sing nursery rhymes. Conditional families can teach children English nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes together. No matter at home or abroad, nursery rhymes and children's songs are classics that have been deposited for many years, and they are often rhythmic and catchy. This feature is suitable for children with a blank sheet of paper to learn and absorb, which is very beneficial to children's language development and music enlightenment. This is also an early education.
4. Play games and exercise with children. Sports and games are very important for children's brain development. For adults, exercise can make people feel happy. For children, exercise can also promote brain development.
The body movements of various sports are directly controlled and regulated by the nervous system. During exercise, the heart beats faster, the blood vessels contract moderately, the blood circulation is accelerated, and the blood supply to the brain is greatly increased, which is beneficial to the metabolism of brain nerve cells.
Games will make children feel the love and happiness of their parents, excite their brains, better activate their brains and promote intellectual development.
