There are two views on the division of children's age in early education: early education broadly refers to the education from birth to the age of 6 before entering primary school, and it is an education for children aged 0-6 to promote their harmonious physical and mental development, while ordinary children enter kindergarten at the age of 3, so early education for children aged 3-6 is also called preschool education. Narrow sense mainly refers to the early learning of children aged 0-3.
Early childhood is a critical period for the development of life intelligence. Grasping early education can improve the learning effect. For example, some people have early childhood education.
It is believed that the best age for children to learn oral English is 2-3 years old. Foreign language learning should not be over 4-5 years old at the latest, because at this time, children will not be confused with their own language; 5-5 and a half years old is the best age to master the concept of numbers; 6 years old is the best age to develop size and orientation perception. Bloom, a famous psychologist at the University of Chicago, published the book "Stability and Change of Human Characteristics" in 1964, and put forward the famous hypothesis that children's intelligence develops fastest before the age of 5.
Human intelligence or psychology is the result of the interaction between heredity and environment. Japanese scholar Kimura Kuiyi believes that children's potential ability follows the law of decreasing; That is, a child with a potential ability of 100 at birth can become a person with a potential ability of 100 if he is given an ideal education at birth; If you start education at the age of 5, even if it is an ideal education, you can only become a person with 80 points; /kloc-started education at the age of 0/0, and can only become a person with 60 points.
Early education can promote brain development. Some parents worry that early education for their children will damage their brains. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary. Some researchers use the brain and biochemical changes of animals; Facts show that adequate environmental stimulation and learning opportunities in the early stage will not only damage the development of the brain, but also promote the development of the brain.
