1, starting from the age of zero
Perhaps many parents have an incorrect understanding of "early education" and mistakenly regard "going to relevant early education institutions for early education" as early education. There are indeed many such early education centers in the market, covering many provinces and cities. Parenting experts point out that early education should start from birth and even cover prenatal education during pregnancy. Its sole purpose is to help children contact, learn, understand and master more comprehensive skills such as life skills and language ability, so that children can learn and grow better.
2. The principle of stimulating interests and hobbies
Interest is the best teacher for children. In early education, it is very important to stimulate children's hobbies. Only when children have a strong curiosity and desire to explore something can they be stimulated to pursue and love constantly, which is also a process of cultivating hobbies. Early education is to guide children to discover and explore through games, stories, activities, language and other aspects, so as to make children interested in all potential things, thus helping children find their own hobbies and carry them forward. Moreover, this process can not only be completed in the early education center, but also the family is often the best early education center and parents are often the best early education teachers for children.
3. The principle of positive psychological suggestion
Many parents have high demands on their children. When children can't meet their own requirements, they will have bad actions to deny their children, which is not conducive to their healthy growth and does not meet the purpose of early education. Because no one is born with everything, the purpose of early education is not to let children master a lot of knowledge, even written knowledge, which is beyond children's power. The starting point of early education should be to encourage children to try, gain happiness and wisdom, and give them positive psychological hints at the same time. Once deviating from this principle, it will be harmful to the healthy growth of children.
4. Adhere to the principle of life classroom.
To put it bluntly, early education is to let children learn how to live with their parents, how to eat by themselves, how to play by themselves, how to find N stacking ways of building blocks, or how to play wildly in the sand with their parents and so on. Every minute in life is early education, and it should be based on the principle of life classroom. There is no need to force children to go to an early education center for early education. Every word and deed and every move of parents is the best early education. Parents are sunny and healthy, and children are sunny and healthy. Parents are eccentric, and children may not be much better, which shows how important the relationship between early education and parents is!
What principles should be followed?
1. We should train according to the characteristics of children's brain development at various stages, follow the laws of brain development, seize the key opportunity of brain development, and provide environmental conditions for developing children's intellectual potential. We should not only stimulate and induce children's intellectual development, but also cultivate and develop children's good behavior and character.
2. Step by step: There is a certain order in the development and maturity of the nervous system, and there are certain rules in the intellectual development of children. Therefore, when educating children, we should follow the law of growth and development and the order of knowledge itself, from easy to difficult, from shallow to deep, and we should not exceed their actual level and ability, let alone rush headlong into it, otherwise it will hinder children's intellectual development.
3. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude: Different children have different possibilities and levels of physical and mental development, different interests, abilities and personalities, and even different intellectual levels of twins. Therefore, different education should be carried out according to each child's personality characteristics, and parents should not impose their children's hobbies on their children. For children with mental retardation, we should be good at discovering their own specialties, stimulating interest, enhancing confidence and promoting intellectual development.
4. Avoid over-education: One of the most harmful ways to educate children is over-education. Excessive protection will deprive children of the right and opportunity to practice normal movements, and even limit the development of intelligence; Curious and active is a child's nature. Too much interference will make children timid and encourage children's rebellious psychology. Children raised by excessive protection and interference lack independence and self-reliance. Excessive expectations will cause stress to children, causing them to have neurasthenia, fear, truancy, truancy and so on.
5. Education in games and storytelling: Playing games and storytelling are the most vivid and concrete forms of education, which are suitable for children's intellectual development. All kinds of game activities are conducive to intellectual development. When organizing children's games, we should pay attention to four aspects, namely, game activity, creativity, knowledge and role. In other words, through game activities, children's movements, skills, speech, creativity, thinking ability and imagination can be promoted. Storytelling and listening to stories have the comprehensive functions of cultivating children's expressive force, attention, thinking ability and imagination, but it should be noted that the story content should be suitable for children's intelligence level, and the words should be vivid to cultivate children's imagination.
