My cousin is such an anxious mother.
When my niece was less than 2 years old, my cousin clamored to give her more than 10 thousand early education classes: my colleague said that early education classes can promote the development of children's whole brain and improve their IQ, so-and-so colleague reported it.
Grandma, who helps take care of the children, advises her cousin that it is better to do a good job in family education than to enroll in early education classes. Cousin also advised cousin: My mother is a retired kindergarten director. She has been a preschool teacher all her life, and she must know how to teach her children the best!
Although my cousin is somewhat dissatisfied, considering that grandma has really worked in kindergarten all her life and her family needs her help, the matter of enrolling in early education classes has been put on hold for the time being.
I thought grandma had some unique skills in children's whole brain development. As a result, after careful observation, my cousin found that grandma just played with her children, playing every day, and playing in different ways.
Thinking about what colleagues are showing off every day and what skills her children have learned. Cousin's lungs are about to explode: everyone's children have made such great progress, but their own children can only play, how can this go on!
Therefore, my cousin once again proposed to let the children go to early education classes. This time, both my cousin and grandma thought she was stubborn and unreasonable, and grandma even replied domineering: "Do you want her to be smart, I don't want it?" Can I still hurt my granddaughter? "
Looking at her husband and mother-in-law, my cousin rushed out of the door in a rage and simply let go of the education for her niece, thinking angrily: Look at what kind of children you have taught.
In a blink of an eye, my niece went to kindergarten, but my cousin said nothing. In fact, I was in a panic at that time, fearing that my niece would not adapt.
Who knows, my cousin's worry is really unnecessary, and my niece's performance can be described as amazing:
Strong adaptability: other children are still crying, and my niece not only does not cry, but also helps to coax other children;
Self-care ability is very strong: other children need teachers to teach them, and nieces just need to look around;
The ability of language expression and understanding is better than that of children of the same age;
Strong concentration: the average child can concentrate on the class at most 10 minutes, and the little niece can reach 20 minutes or more.
The most important thing is: only two days into the park, my little niece made good friends! You know, it takes a lot of courage and emotional ability.
On the other hand, the colleague who once strongly advocated early education and praised children's cleverness has not praised it for a long time.
As soon as the two sides compared, my cousin was relieved. Facts have proved that grandma's education method is better. She will never interfere with her children's grandmothers again, and even if she sees them having fun again, she can treat them with a normal heart.
The niece's Excellence does not stop there. After entering primary school, my niece has already entered the learning state when other children have not adapted to the suddenly changed teaching methods. Super concentration and understanding laid the foundation for her study; Because of his strong expression ability and certain leadership ability, he was appointed as the monitor by the teacher and was the first to join the Young Pioneers. Speaking of her, even the teacher is full of praise.
The teacher said that my cousin trained my niece too well. He also said that he would hold a parent-teacher meeting and invite his cousin to share with his parents.
After listening to the teacher's praise, my cousin was both happy and embarrassed. You know, she didn't cultivate such excellent children, thanks to her grandmother, and almost misunderstood her.
Don't, in terms of children's education, children's grandmother really have any secrets?
With this in mind, my cousin humbly asked my grandmother for advice.
In this regard, grandma gave three explanations and methods:
The human brain is divided into left brain and right brain. The left brain is rational thinking, responsible for logic, language, mathematics, writing, reasoning and analysis. Also called abstract brain or academic brain.
The perceptual thinking of the right brain is in charge of pictures, music, rhythm, emotion, imagination and creation, also called artistic brain or creative brain.
If the child's left and right brains can be fully developed, the IQ will definitely not be low.
There are three peak periods of children's brain development, also known as "golden period"
6 months to 3 years old:
At birth, children's brain weight only accounts for 1/4 of that of adults, and it will probably reach 1/2 when they are1years old, which is close to 3/4 of that of adults when they are 3 years old.
This period is the period when children's brains develop fastest. According to some data, there are even more synapses in the brains of children aged 2-3 than adults.
3-6 years old:
During this period, the development of the brain enters the running-in period, and the child's cognition enters the pre-operation stage. At this time, the child's inner intelligence and operational ability have been further developed. Synaptic enhancement commonly used in the brain began to degenerate.
If we can give children targeted special training at this time, it will not only promote brain development, but also play a multiplier role in children's concentration, creativity, understanding and expression.
7- 12 years old:
At this time, the child's brain has become more and more perfect, the child's cognition has entered the specific operation stage, the child's thinking ability has been further enhanced, and the integrity and logic of thinking have been developed.
If parents can create situations for their children and further cultivate their thinking ability, their logical thinking and critical thinking will be further developed, which may have an impact on their life.
If we can give children deliberate exercises in time according to the characteristics of their brain development, it will have unexpected effects.
However, this does not mean that children must apply for early education classes: most of the early education classes developed by the left and right brain in the market are just gimmicks, and few of them can be professional and expensive. Probably spent a lot of money, but the children didn't like it.
Playing is a child's nature. The real development of left and right brains should not only take into account the characteristics of children's love of playing, but also ensure that they have knowledge increment and let them play in middle school.
Although grandma lets her children play every day, she actually plays games with her children to achieve high-quality parent-child companionship and give them high-quality family education. "Do it yourself-find the answer-succeed-get a sense of accomplishment" is a wonderful experience that every child can't refuse.
Let children combine hands, eyes and brain in parent-child interaction, which not only develops the brain, but also exercises the children's various abilities; It not only enhances the parent-child relationship, but also keeps the child away from the electronic screen and protects the child's eyes.
In the process of playing, the child's brain keeps running at a high speed with the game, and his spirit is highly concentrated, and his brain development and attention are strengthened. Grandma played with her little niece for a while, and her attention and logical thinking ability were greatly improved. She used to be fooled, but now it's hard to be fooled!
After listening to the grandmother's words, my cousin had mixed feelings. I always thought it was not good for grandma to take care of the children. In fact, grandma's contribution is not less than that of her parents, or even more. Who says grandma is not as good as her parents in bringing up children?
