Rational understanding of the position and function of early education
The so-called early education is to discover children's potential, stimulate children's interest, induce children to think and teach them methods through observation, thus cultivating children's imagination, observation and creativity. The goal of early education is to cultivate a healthy, happy, confident and safe child.
Indeed, early education, as an important part of children's maturity, is very important and the earliest stage of laying the foundation, but it cannot be emphasized that it is a decisive educational activity. Some people think that children's failure to get a good education before the age of 3 will directly affect their future development, which has no scientific basis. In fact, only by absolutely depriving children of learning opportunities can they have a lifelong impact on children. Some people think that early education is ineffective. There seems to be no difference after kindergarten. Some parents even compare the shortcomings of their children with the advantages of other children. Of course, the result may be that they did not reach the expected value.
In fact, every child has his own characteristics, and it is impossible to get all A's. It is necessary to comprehensively examine whether the child develops normally and grows healthily. The key to early education is to understand the process of children's growth and the corresponding relationship between children's learning and maturity. If you are too ahead, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, we should not only attach importance to children's early education, but also blindly and infinitely exaggerate the position and role of early education in children's growth.
Scientifically grasp the objective laws of early education
In early life, children are building the inner world of life, while we adults are paying attention to the outer world. So we need to go back to the inner world to understand the inner feelings of children, which is the core point of early education. Only by fully understanding what happened in this life and truly entering the children's world can we effectively inspire and help them. Helping children to know themselves, things and the world is the fundamental purpose of early education, but educators can't bring their natural hands into play to raise children.
Early education is the starting point of individual life development and the foundation of children's growth and development, but more importantly, uninterrupted education is the key to cultivate stable and high-level intellectual quality and personality characteristics throughout the development process. So while emphasizing early education, we should pay more attention to long-term development. It is impossible for a child to develop beyond his own growth stage. At present, some infant education is alienated, which violates the law of children's development and forces children to learn this and that. Children have learned a lot, but lost more. The more natural children grow up, the better. We should give children opportunities to practice, so that they can be creative, not restrict them. Give children room for imagination, take them for a walk in nature, let them learn through play and experience, and feel the outside world by themselves. For example, it is more important for children to observe how small ants crawl than to teach them the word "ant".
Correctly understand the essential characteristics of early education
The normal growth of life is a complete and continuous process. Cognition is to cope with the external world, and growth is the internal change of life. We should attach great importance to the integrity of children's lives and let their growth and cognition develop simultaneously. As we all know, newborns have many abilities. The most basic thing is learning ability. He learns through perception and vision. He should fully grasp and make use of this ability in the sensitive period of children's growth, give children rich and suitable environmental stimuli, and promote the formation and transformation of learning ability. This kind of microenvironment stimulation is the most basic way of early education for infants. What children need in their early years are some basic things, that is, love, recognition and acceptance, which are stored in the bits and pieces of their lives. The first focus of early education is to make children attached to their parents, fully contact with their families, and let children get love.
Therefore, children should stay at home and receive family education at the earliest stage of life. Parents should understand their children's emotions and feelings, know what their inner needs are, provide their children with an environment for growth, give them love and give them freedom. This is the best early education.
In short, we should look at early childhood education scientifically and rationally, and change from emphasizing "early education" to emphasizing "early influence". Through early all-round influence, we can promote the early growth of children and truly realize the ideal development of children's physical and mental health, harmony, comprehensiveness, high quality, sustainability and multiple choices.
