What I want to say here is that if you have leisure and money, you'd better go to school, because children are in a critical period of intellectual development before they are three years old. Early education can help children develop more systematically and comprehensively, which is of great help to children's brain development.
Some mothers will think that early education is a waste of money. You can do early education at home. Why must it be sent to the early education center? In fact, if a mother has time and patience, she can also give her children early education at home, and the effect of parent-child interaction is better, but there are still the following shortcomings.
1, not professional enough.
Although mothers can also do early education at home, after all, there is no teacher major in early education institutions. They generally need a certain qualification, and after professional training, they will be more aware of what kind of training their children are suitable for.
For young children, professional training will be more conducive to children's brain development, and the curriculum of early education center is designed according to children's age, which is more targeted and relatively rich. Such as music, handicrafts, graffiti, sports and so on. Can cultivate children's sense of sound, exercise hands-on ability, balance ability and the development of big movements.
2. Insufficient hardware facilities
Although you can do early education at home, the hardware facilities are definitely not as rich as early education institutions. Before, a friend of mine invited preschool teachers to come home for one-on-one tutoring, but because of the limited hardware facilities, big movements and balance training could not be carried out at all except some lighter toys.
3. Lack of collective interaction
Another advantage of going to an early education institution is that it can exercise children's communicative competence, because there are many children who can interact with each other, but at home they are alone, lacking collective interaction, which is not conducive to children's communicative training.
I have two boys. The first one was sent to early education at the age of one year and eight months. At the age of three, I began to draw, and English was enlightened. The second one didn't have any systematic early education until he was three years old. The two are really different in all aspects. The eldest brother's learning ability and expression ability are much better than the second. Therefore, I have to admit that children who have received early education systematically are really different from other children.
It is embodied in the following aspects:
1. Improve children's communicative competence
All mothers who send their children to early education know that in addition to formal courses, early education institutions also provide free places for children to play, and a bunch of children get together to play before and after class. In the process of playing, they should learn how to communicate, share, queue and other skills to integrate into the group.
Therefore, during this time, children's resilience and communication skills are very exercised.
2. Promote brain development
Early education centers generally provide supporting education suitable for children's age, and the curriculum is also very rich, including music, graffiti, handicrafts, sports and so on. For children before the age of 3, it is a critical period of brain development. These rich activities and knowledge can stimulate children's brain development and make children's brain development more perfect.
3. Promote parent-child relationship
In early childhood classes, parents usually need to accompany them. Many parents have no time to accompany their children because of their busy work. When they attend early education, they can leave their jobs and spend time with their children. Early education centers generally have parent-child manual and parent-child interaction classes. Although it is only a short 40 minutes, it is very valuable for children who often have no parents to accompany them.
4. Can integrate into kindergarten life faster.
Children who have attended early education classes can adapt to kindergarten life faster because they are familiar with the atmosphere and concept of "attending classes" in advance. At that time, my family Dabao was able to attend early childhood classes independently when she was less than two years old. When she was in kindergarten, she was well-connected and independent, and she could integrate into kindergarten life more quickly.
1. Near home
For young children, it is very important to be close to home, which is convenient for the family and reduces the bumps on the road.
In addition, the early education center will design a small playground for children to play with, which is generally registered. Usually, children can take it without class, and children can't move their feet there. It would be great if the early education center is near your home. After all, it is a good place to exercise children's communication.
2. Good air circulation
The most important thing to choose an early education institution is a good environment and good air circulation. For young children, environmental facilities are more important than the quality of teaching, because it is related to children's health. If this early education institution is newly established and renovated, then mothers will say "no" decisively.
First, the personnel and management of the newly established institutions are not fully integrated;
Second: the newly renovated harmful substances have not volatilized, especially formaldehyde.
Therefore, when choosing institutions, mothers must keep their eyes open, compare more and observe more. After all, children's health is the most important thing.
3. Have certain qualifications
At present, there are too many early education training institutions and the competition is fierce. Business losses and bankruptcies often occur. However, the cost of early education is generally paid annually. Bad luck, you will lose a lot when you meet this kind of enterprise.
Therefore, when choosing early education institutions, try to choose large or chain institutions with certain qualifications, because such enterprises will be relatively perfect and sound in management system and have more experience in operation. When choosing, we must first understand the nature of institutions.
In short, children are in a critical period of brain development before the age of three. At this stage, parents should spend more time with their children, give them a systematic education, lay a good foundation for future study and make them better.
