On the one hand, various official media and experts say that "advanced education is not good" and call on everyone not to advance education. On the other hand, too many parents are educating their children in advance, and they have been learning all kinds of primary school knowledge since kindergarten.

How about "advanced education"? Let's look at the pros and cons:

Opponents of higher education are mainly experts. They think that children in kindergartens have insufficient cognitive ability and it is difficult to master the knowledge of primary schools. Parents force their children to study too much, which makes them afraid of learning. They begin to be tired of learning before going to school, which is not conducive to their future study.

Parents are the main ones who carry out advanced education. In fact, most parents don't want to educate their children in advance, but think that when the children around them are studying in advance, the teachers will make faster progress, and the children will fall behind at the beginning, which will dampen their enthusiasm for learning.

From the perspective of both sides, it seems to make sense.

According to Piaget's cognitive development theory, children before the age of 7 are in the pre-operation stage, and they are good at thinking in images, but not in abstract thinking. The knowledge in primary school is more abstract thinking, so it will be more difficult for children to learn before they are taught primary school knowledge. It is for this reason that education experts generally respond to premature advanced education. From this perspective, "advanced education" seems to be really bad for children.

But from the perspective of parents, their worries do exist. There are too many children who are educated in advance now. If their children enter primary school and learn nothing, they are definitely worse than other children. For children who have just started learning, this is likely to hit their self-confidence and is not conducive to their future study. Besides, if most of the children in the class learn, the progress of the teacher will definitely be faster, and the children may not be able to keep up. Therefore, from a realistic point of view, advanced education is very necessary.

The public says that the public is right, and the woman says that the woman is right. Is it good to promote education?

In fact, as far as I am concerned, there is no problem with advanced education at all, and it should be beneficial to children. But for the vast majority of parents, they adopt the wrong advanced education methods, which is not conducive to the growth of their children.

Wrong advanced education is harmful, and some parents may have doubts: Isn't advanced education just teaching children primary school knowledge in advance? How can we distinguish right from wrong?

Although the purpose of advanced education is the same, they all want to teach primary school knowledge to children in advance, but the process is different, so there are right and wrong points, which will produce different results.

For the vast majority of parents, they adopt the wrong advanced education method, and the outstanding performance of this wrong method is to force their children to study.

For preschool children, it will be more difficult to learn primary school knowledge because of the lack of cognitive ability. However, because most parents don't realize their children's intelligence gap, they always feel that their children are not serious, don't work hard, and can't teach for several times, so they start to criticize and scold their children, or force them to study by increasing their study time and homework.

Under the education mode of parents, on the one hand, children's cognitive ability is insufficient and they are not aware of this problem, so they will find it difficult to learn, feel stupid, and their parents will not teach, so they are afraid of learning; On the other hand, parents' criticism, beatings and other behaviors will also make children start to avoid learning.

In other words, under the "advanced education" of parents, children are tired of learning before they go to school. This kind of "advanced education" is a wrong way of advanced education.

Then what do I think is the right way to promote education that is beneficial to children?

Correct advanced education is conducive to children's growth, because the earlier they master more knowledge, the richer their knowledge, the easier it is to understand new knowledge and the more they know. Just like the picture below, the innermost comfort circle represents the existing knowledge, and the second circle represents the learning area. The bigger the comfort zone, the bigger the learning zone we can learn, and the easier it is to master more knowledge.

Therefore, learning in advance is conducive to children mastering more knowledge. If we maintain this leading edge, it will be easier to achieve better results in the future.

However, we must also see the gap in children's cognitive ability, and we must not be able to master what we want to teach. The wrong advanced education is to confuse this concept, think that children can master it, force them to master it, make their study too painful, and stifle their future growth.

Correct advanced education should have expectations for children, not goals.

Parents educate their children in advance, hoping that they can master them, but they don't force them to learn, but explain them in a way that children understand according to their cognitive characteristics. Even if children can't learn, parents won't be disappointed. They yell at children and criticize them, but seek new ways to guide them slowly until they really understand.

In other words, under the correct concept of "advanced education", parents expect their children to learn and try their best to teach them well. However, even if children can't learn, parents will not be disappointed, but will guide their children in other ways.

In this way of education, children will not hate learning because of their parents' advanced education, and they can master more knowledge. Although we may not have so much knowledge under the wrong advanced education, we also let our children master more knowledge. This is the correct way to open "higher education".
