1, promote the brain development of infants and develop their intelligence.
2. It has a good influence on the psychological development of infants.
It promotes the baby's physiological development.
Early education is an important basic education. Abroad, many countries have long proposed to develop the intelligence of infants aged 0-3. Early education in New Zealand proposes that education should start from birth. Peru, Ghana and other countries have incorporated the education of children aged 0-6 into their national action plans. They think that 0-3 years old is the golden age of early education and 0-3 years old is also the golden age of brain development. The brain develops fastest before the age of 3, and the infant period is also the fastest period of psychological development. The younger you are, the faster you develop. This is the key period to master the concepts of spoken language and digital logic, and it is also the foundation period for the development of behavior, character and personality.
China's newly revised "Outline" also clearly points out that kindergarten education should be connected with the conservation education of infants aged 0-3. Early education is one of the ways to improve the quality of population.
Characteristics of children's development before the age of three:
I. Initiative of development
A strong sense of survival
Children have the inner strength of positive growth and behaviors conducive to survival and development from birth.
Observe everything around you (children have an absorption mentality from the beginning-Montessori)
Incredible intelligence
People are born with a lot of potential. If we don't give rich environmental stimuli to develop these abilities, it will hinder their good development. People have the positive power of self-development from the moment they are born. The inherent "potential vitality" of children is the development and existence of an active activity, and the task of education is to stimulate and promote the potential development of children (Montessori)
Children's wisdom begins with six senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste and operation.
Vision: Look, hand-eye coordination.
Hearing: hearing, touching the center, and responding to actions.
Taste: Taste, sweet and sour.
Touch: touch, the more the better.
Operation: Curious and active children like to explore and do things, enjoy happiness in different activities, feel satisfied in different operations, improve their ability, satisfy their emotions and develop their wisdom, especially their creativity.
Whether a child has rich experiences in the first few years of his life greatly affects the development of his brain. The richer the early education, the higher the efficiency of the brain, and every experience he gains will strengthen the nerve cells of the brain and become a permanent memory.
Children who meet the requirements of active development are more satisfied with life, and their smug expressions are naturally revealed, and there are fewer opportunities to lose their temper.
Second, the sequence and stages of development.
Children's development is extremely orderly.
In the field of sports: looking up-turning over-sitting-climbing-standing-walking-running-jumping, children are completed step by step and orderly from birth.
Sensory motor stage (0-2 years old)
Reflection exercise 0- 1 month
Action repeated 1-4 months.
Unexpected purpose 4-8 months
Target-Coordination for 8- 10 months
Trial and error reaction 10- 18 months
The critical period of preschool children's physical and mental development
0-2 years old, the development of movement
0-3 years old, oral development
0-4 years old, the development of audio-visual sense
4-5 years old, learning written language.
5-6 years old, master vocabulary ability.
3-5 years old, the musical ability is reversed.
3 years old is a critical period for the development of counting ability.
The key to mastering the concept of numbers at the age of 5-6
The critical period refers to the specific age stage when it is easiest to learn and master certain knowledge, skills and behaviors. Before the age of 3, children learn and master various behavioral abilities. )
Sensitive period of 0-3 years old and its characteristics
1, sense of external order; Place, order, possession, habit, agreement.
2. Inner sense of order
3, a great sense of spiritual order (order destruction, spirit is not inferior, lost his temper)
4. Sensitive period of language (listening, expression, language, words and sentences)
5, the sensitive period towards independence (independence. Autonomous)
6. Sensitive period of sensory organs (audio-visual sense of smell, taste and touch)
7. Sensitive period of coordinated development of muscle movement (walking, crawling, etc.)
8. The sensitive period of social development
In the sensitive period, we should try our best to meet the development requirements of children and provide corresponding development conditions. Don't miss the best education period. In this period, children are most likely to accept the influence of environment and education and develop their intelligence and ability.
Third, the differences in development.
The reason for the difference.
1, with different genes (no decisive factor)
2, different temperament characteristics, nutrition, physical learning and development opportunities.
3. Parents' quality, family environment, social relations and the unique interaction between parents and children.
All these will affect the development of children's personality, intelligence and physical strength and the formation of personality. With the increase of age, the differences between individuals will become more obvious.
Fourthly, the correlation between psychological and physical development.
Physiology is mainly the body, nervous system and brain, which is the material basis for the development of psychological behavior. Only when children are healthy and their physiological functions are intact can they gradually build a perfect and complete psychological world.
The development of psychological behavior can absorb external information through multiple channels, promote the development of nervous system and brain, and a happy mood can also promote physical and mental health.
The development of psychology and physiology are complementary, and the younger the age, the closer the relationship between physiological and psychological development.
