Reading comprehension:

1. Is early education necessary? What is the best early education?

Because of my work, I learned that many parents around me choose to give their children an early education center before they go to kindergarten. I also think that early education is necessary for children and helpful for going to kindergarten in the future.

In the choice of parenting, the definition of early education and what is good early education refresh my cognition.

Early education doesn't mean going to an early education center to study. Because parents and families are the main force of early education.

What kind of early education is good early education? First of all, it must conform to the baby's developmental characteristics. If some early education centers are not professional enough, the conditions and environment provided for children may not meet the development characteristics, but it is harmful. Secondly, cultivate a balanced child. What is equilibrium? In the process of raising a baby, fully mobilizing the balanced development of the senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch) is the cornerstone for children to explore the world.

Whether you go to the early education center or not, as a parent, you will always be the main force of education. Parenting needs to understand and follow the baby's developmental characteristics.

2. Do you want to encourage children to compete for the first place?

In the past, there were some doubts about "striving for the first place": does not striving for the first place mean that you can be free without goals? What kind of influence will blindly emphasize the fight for the first place bring to children?

The author gives a great point: downplay unnecessary competition and face up to inevitable competition.

Life is not a competition, you don't have to keep putting your children on the runway to compare with others. In other words, some competition is unnecessary and we can dilute it. It is important to guide children to pay attention to the matter itself and the process, rather than taking others as the center and demanding themselves by others' standards. In real life, some competition is inevitable, so we should face it squarely. How to face it? Pay attention to the process rather than the result. A competitive society does not need to shield competition, encourage children to compare with themselves, correctly understand themselves and cultivate comprehensive ability.

3. Is the sensitive period really everywhere?

What is the sensitive period? Sensitive period means that a certain period is the best physiological development period. Some parents are particularly cautious about the sensitive period, and even have anxiety, fearing that they will miss the sensitive period of their children and affect their growth. Does missing the sensitive period mean losing the development space? There is no strict boundary definition for the sensitive period. If the environment in the sensitive period is not properly affected, development and development may still occur, but the best effect may not be achieved. This is the definition of sensitive period in developmental psychology.

You can better understand how wide your child's learning window is. Research shows that the "time window" of children's development is very wide. As parents, we should understand the differences and differences in children's development, make the best use of the situation and establish a good parent-child relationship.
