The goal of early childhood education is to help children lay a good foundation for all-round development, including physical, intellectual, moral, aesthetic, personality and so on. Therefore, the contents of early education include:
health education
Infants and young children grow and develop rapidly, so parents should ensure their children's health from all aspects. We should not only pay attention to the care of children's eating, drinking, wearing and sleeping, but also educate children to gradually learn self-protection and self-care and establish a sense of health and safety, such as developing good hygiene and living habits from an early age, washing hands before and after meals, brushing their teeth before going to bed, not touching dangerous goods, using electricity safely and not accepting other people's things casually.
Another important aspect of health education is to ensure children's mental health. Let children live in a warm family atmosphere, lead a relaxed and happy life, cultivate a cheerful and lively personality, and avoid excessive tension, anxiety, sadness and fear. For example, a child about 7 months old is afraid to leave his mother, so it is very important to establish a correct attachment relationship between mother and child. Infants should pay attention to avoid wrong eating behaviors when feeding, such as forced eating (coaxing) and chasing after feeding; 2~3 years old is the first negative stage of a child's life. Parents should guide correctly, and avoid beating and cursing at will, which will cause mental trauma to their children.
More and more parents pay attention to their children's early education and worry that if they don't learn, they will be worse than other children in the future. In fact, they don't understand that early education is not only the cultivation of intelligence, but also some other aspects.

Intelligence education
Intellectual education is the focus of preschool education, which is to develop children's intelligence in life, including observation, attention, memory, imagination and thinking ability. Parents should clearly realize that each child is different in specific aspects of intellectual development, and each child has his own strengths and weaknesses. Don't compare your child's shortcomings with the advantages of other children, which will easily affect your child's mood and lead to inferiority. Attention should be paid to giving full play to children's strengths and making up for their shortcomings. In intellectual training, we should not adopt monotonous and rigid teaching methods, but "teach through fun" according to the characteristics of infants, and impart knowledge through telling stories, singing children's songs, playing games and drawing, so as to improve children's abilities in all aspects, and give appropriate guidance according to certain specialties of children, but we should not pursue skills excessively. While developing children's intelligence, we can't ignore non-intelligence factors, such as cultivating the qualities of initiative, diligence and not being afraid of difficulties. For example, when children begin to learn to build blocks, they should take this as a way to cultivate their ability to withstand setbacks. The development of intelligence and non-intelligence factors complement each other, and parents can't attend to one thing and lose the other.
Learn to be a man
This is the most important thing in early childhood education. As the saying goes, "Three-year-old is eighty", which means that the early behavior of babies determines their performance when they grow up. Let children learn the basic principles of being a man, develop good habits of living, treating people and thinking, cultivate children's love, learn to respect and care for others, and avoid "being the only one." Parents should set an example and gradually cultivate their children's good moral quality in daily life, without giving them special classes. For example, let children eat with adults when eating, and teach children to share food and happiness with others, instead of eating their favorite dishes with their predecessors.
Therefore, early childhood education is not only intellectual training, but also includes health education for children, training children how to be human and so on.
