If you have any comments on my article or other contents, please comment positively below. I will read every article carefully. Then the content of this issue is: "The child is one and a half years old!" Early education, how early! Then let's take a look!
I don't know when, "let the children win at the starting line" is regarded as a wise move by many parents. If you want to have a baby in the best hospital, you must give your child the best milk powder and let your child go to the best school. These phenomena have become a trend in contemporary China. Tvbi's documentary "No Starting Line" vividly describes this situation.
This documentary truly records the unrealistic training process of contemporary Hong Kong parents for their children. From the birth of a child, parents are ready for the child, and a few months old child will be taken to an early education class for intellectual development. It has become a common practice for children in Hong Kong to attend two kindergartens every day. Even when traveling by car or waiting for a meal, parents should carry forward the spirit of "nailing" and let their children bring more things.
Parents don't agree with this kind of "special training" training mode, and even feel proud, which makes people feel a strong atmosphere of comparison. If other children attend ten interest classes, their children will have to attend twenty; If other children learn piano and guitar, their children must learn guzheng and harp; Other children can speak English, and their children must learn French. In short, you can't be earlier or later than others. But does this crazy early education make sense? Can all children be brought up to be geniuses?

What are early education and theoretical teaching?
① Develop children's intelligence.
It is said that children's money is the most profitable, and it is true. Parents have spent a lot of money since the child was born. For children, food, medical care and clothes are expensive, especially education. Early education is more important in education.
It costs tens of thousands of dollars for children over one year old to attend early education, but many parents are still eager to try. Because early educational institutions were carrying loud slogans, "whole brain development" and "intelligent development", parents obeyed.
When early education institutions show a series of research results, tell parents not to miss the golden age of developing their children's intelligence, and then train their children with their own "secret weapons" in time, few parents are convinced. After all, these lofty theories, these novel and unique training methods and all kinds of excellent training results are hard to reassure parents.
Everyone wants their children's intelligence to develop more comprehensively. They can be geniuses like Einstein, and no one wants their children to be regarded as mentally retarded.
② Learn knowledge in advance.
Compared with the development of intelligence, teaching children practical knowledge can make parents see the results of early education, and teaching children knowledge in advance has become their early education work.
Many children are sent to early education institutions at the age of one and begin to learn English words and Chinese Pinyin. At the age of two, I began to do arithmetic problems and recite ancient poems. I have to say that this method of teaching in advance is still very effective. Many children can master a lot of knowledge in primary school before they go to kindergarten. If a half-year-old child does not attend early education, he is basically in a "backward" state.
Every day, children encounter some mechanical repetition or formula learning in early education institutions. They can really master some profound knowledge, and even some children can recite the ratio of pi at an early age and distinguish the powers of some numbers. This achievement has also made many parents complacent and think that their children really look like geniuses.
③ Cultivate interests extensively.
Another key point of early education is to cultivate children's hobbies. As parents in Hong Kong who have no starting line say, when children are very young, they will shoot according to their own schedule. They must learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some parents even learn programming to keep their children up to date.
Although some parents may be eager for quick success, the advantage of early education is to let children discover their interests and cultivate their own majors from an early age, which is indeed the benefit of early education. Indeed, the earlier you train many majors and skills, the easier it is to achieve results. Because of the foundation of early education, some children have profound knowledge when they are young.
③ The social competition is too fierce.
Nowadays, the society is full of competition. There is competition among countries, enterprises and employees. Early education is the competition among children and the extreme embodiment of social pressure.
"Don't let the children lose at the starting line", "I'd rather the children cry now than suffer later", the race has already started when the children are pregnant, and the pressure really comes from having children.

Early education should be like this:
(1) Be timely.
The so-called timeliness is to respect the order of children's physical and mental development. Of course, primary school courses can be taught to children, but is this really appropriate? Children seem to have learned knowledge, but most of them like to eat and don't know the taste. When the child really reaches the knowledge point that he should learn, he will get bored and his interest in learning will decrease because he has already learned it. Everyone knows Kimiao's story encourages, but many of them are intentional crimes.
② Moderate.
The director team of No Starting Line invited two experienced guests to experience the early education life of Hong Kong children. At the end of the day, both of them are physically and mentally exhausted, which is correct for adults, but what is the experience of children? Early education is more of an inspiration and guidance, not to mention many benefits. It is a pleasure to teach children and give them some free time to understand and feel better.
③ Be comfortable.
High-intensity early education life will undoubtedly make children uncomfortable, but it also makes parents uncomfortable. Many children become taciturn, close to themselves and unwilling to communicate under high pressure. Even when they grow up, many children will go to extremes and commit suicide in order to seek relief. On the other hand, it is not easy for parents to take care of their children at any time. They will feel depressed and troubled for the following reasons, and the gap with their children is getting bigger and bigger.
This is not because early education will bring consequences. Early education should help children and their parents create a comfortable atmosphere so that they can grow up better. This is also the original intention of early education.
We understand that every parent wants their children to be dragons, and we also hope that parents can find the right way to raise their children in the dazzling early education propaganda, instead of choosing the wrong way for their children.
