The essence of prenatal education is to stimulate the potential inside the fetus. The so-called "all fetuses are geniuses" does not mean that all fetuses can become geniuses, but that there is potential in the fetus to be stimulated and the fetus has been able to receive education.

Many people think that the purpose of prenatal education is to cultivate small talents and create miracles. This misunderstanding will lead to the misguided prenatal education. Although prenatal education can effectively improve the quality of the fetus and the quality of the population, it cannot make the fetus become a little genius or a child with extraordinary wisdom after birth. There are many factors that make children a little genius, besides prenatal education, there are also genetic factors, continuing education after birth and environmental factors, as well as non-intellectual factors such as personal interest, will and morality. Therefore, a child who has received prenatal education can only become a little genius. But one thing is certain, prenatal education is conducive to the development of the fetus in wisdom, personality, emotion, ability and so on, and to the development of its life after birth.

The importance of prenatal education is self-evident and can be related to the future direction of children's life. Attaching importance to Buddhism in the process of prenatal education will pave the way for the success of prenatal education.

Second, the advantages of prenatal education during pregnancy

1. Babies who have received prenatal education are sensitive to music and have musical talent. Babies who have received prenatal education will be very happy when they hear music and twist their bodies rhythmically.

2. Babies who have received prenatal education learn to pronounce earlier. A baby who has received prenatal education will pronounce several vowels at 2 months, several consonants at 4 months, and sounds at 5 to 6 months can express certain meanings.

3. The mental health of the baby who has received prenatal education. These babies are generally emotionally stable, always cheerful, very lively and lovely, and rarely cry at night. Mom and dad will think that the baby is very easy to take care of. With a baby who laughs all day, the family will feel infinitely fun.

4. The fine motor ability of the baby's hand developed well after prenatal education. Hands are good at grasping, grasping, taking, taking, patting, beating, shaking, beating, pinching, buckling, wearing and covering.

5. The baby who has received prenatal education has developed well in sports ability. They look up, turn over, sit, climb, stand and walk early, and their movements are agile and coordinated.

6. Babies who have received prenatal education do not like to cry. Babies who have received prenatal education will cry even if they are hungry, wet and uncomfortable, but they will stop when they are satisfied. In addition, babies who have received prenatal education have a strong sense of induction and will stop crying when they hear their mother's footsteps and voices. Finally, it is easy for a baby who has received prenatal education to develop a normal lifestyle, such as playing prenatal education music before going to bed or her mother humming a lullaby, so that the baby can fall asleep quickly. After the full moon, it basically forms the habit of waking up during the day and sleeping at night.

Third, when to do prenatal education?

Critical period 1: 8 weeks before pregnancy (brain cell formation period)

According to the research, after fertilization 18 days, the interaction between mesoderm and ectoderm produced primitive primary nerve tissue. It is generally believed that the formation of neural embryo is about the first 19 day after fertilization. This time is usually the stage when mom finds out that pregnancy is successful. When it was determined that she was about to become a parent, the fetal brain tissue began to form. At this time, "congenital inheritance" has been determined, and the subsequent development of the fetus depends on how parents give "acquired environment" training.

From 19 day, the nervous system of the embryo developed rapidly, until the 26th day, it closed from the bottom and extended downward to become the spinal cord. That is to say, the brain development of the fetus begins to take shape around the fertilization of the egg. From the eighth week of pregnancy, the fetus has a basic embryonic form, although it is still a little far from complete formation. However, at this time, it should be officially called fetus, not "embryo".

Maternal hormone secretion and nutritional status will affect fetal growth, especially in the first three months, which is an important stage of brain cell development. Although the nutrition absorbed by the fetus at this stage is limited, it is still necessary to pay attention to balance, not to let yourself have abnormal eating habits, and not to let bad habits intervene (such as smoking, drinking, taking drugs, etc.). ), and basically can reach a good state.

Critical period 2: about 20 weeks of pregnancy (brain cell proliferation period)

The time of prenatal education is about 20 weeks of pregnancy, and the auditory and visual nervous systems of the fetus will develop one after another. After 20 weeks, the development of brain cells will become more and more complicated, and this period is also the beginning of fetal movement. The doctor said that even though many empirical medicines can't prove the effectiveness of prenatal education, the fetus will begin to learn in the womb with the development of the nervous system and external stimulation. That is to say, this is the most effective stage of interaction between the mother and the fetus, which is most suitable for giving the fetus good stimulation, forming a good neural circuit and helping the brain cells to gradually develop into benign ones.

When fetal movement occurs, it can be stimulated by different ways of prenatal education interaction, such as: listening to pleasant music during the day, gently stroking, and having intrauterine conversation with her husband and communicating with the fetus after her father comes home at night. If you want the baby in your belly to be familiar with the frequency of dad's speech after birth, dad can talk to the fetus more and tell him "what is your father going to do" and so on. However, remember to let the fetus have a rest time and don't tease him all the time, which will also cause tire pressure. So the way of prenatal education should be intermittent stimulation.

Critical period 3: about 30 weeks of pregnancy to postpartum (active period of brain development)

The basic development of fetal brain has been fully formed around 4 months of pregnancy, but the neurons that affect the development of cranial nerves will not stop functioning, but will continue to carry out dendritic synapses until about 3 years old after birth, and may even continue to develop in adolescence. The stimulation and development of these synapses is the key to lay the foundation for many fetal abilities (vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, vestibular sense, motor sense, etc.) in the future. Gao Lizhi, a teacher who has long studied children's sensory integration, believes that the activities of pregnant mothers during pregnancy will affect the sensory integration of the fetus in the future. In particular, too little activity and lack of vestibular stimulation can easily lead to hyperactivity in the future.

Appropriate exercise, such as walking, walking, etc. It can moderately stimulate the vestibular sensation of the fetus. If vestibular stimulation is insufficient, it will affect the coordination of movements after the baby is born in the future. As for some pregnant mothers who are in poor health and want to have children, they can sit in a rocking chair with high safety and sway back and forth, which can also achieve the stimulating effect.

Prenatal education can cultivate children with stable personality, so mothers and fetuses should communicate from the time of pregnancy. Among them, we can actively create a good intrauterine environment by singing and talking, which can reduce the anxiety hormone of the fetus, reduce his fear, reduce his rebellious behavior in the future, and cultivate children with stable personality.

Iv. Precautions for prenatal education during pregnancy

noise

Prenatal education noise can make the endocrine glands of pregnant women dysfunctional, make the pituitary gland secrete excessive oxytocin, cause strong uterine contraction, and lead to miscarriage and premature delivery. The impact of noise on the fetus is so serious that pregnant women should be alert to the surrounding noise, not to be affected by noise, and not to listen to the deafening irritating sound.

High decibel noise will damage the hearing organs of the fetus and make its hearing decline. If the expectant mother indirectly receives more than 85 decibels during pregnancy, such as the sound from the heavy truck stereo (the sound is about 90 decibels), it will make the baby lose his keen hearing after birth.

In short, for the normal development of the fetus, expectant mothers must try to stay away from noise, and do not go to airports, railway stations, bus stations, karaoke bars, discos and other areas with serious noise pollution, let alone listen to deafening rock music at home.

language

In language education, pregnant women can teach their unborn babies at a moderate volume, or read poems, hum songs or count. This will leave a good memory for children, and it is forbidden to preach loudly and rudely, which will cause the fetus to be restless. After birth, the fetus will become very neurotic and even have an aversion and hostile attitude towards language.

sports

Exercise is an effective method of prenatal education, but unreasonable exercise is a taboo of prenatal education. When making sports contact with the fetus, you should gently touch the fetus, preferably 2 ~ 4 times a day. Sometimes the fetus will disobey the mother's orders. At this time, we should wait patiently and don't rush for success. And when doing sports prenatal education, don't move too hard.

mood

The emotional state of pregnant women plays an important role in the development of the fetus. Pregnant women's mood is stable and comfortable, which is conducive to the formation of postpartum good temperament. However, pregnant women are often nervous, happy and sad at the mahjong table, which makes the hormone secretion in the mother abnormal and harms the development of the fetal brain. Therefore, pregnant women should pay special attention to mental health, make themselves happy, feel comfortable and full of hope for life.

time

Some expectant mothers mistakenly think that prenatal education is to constantly stimulate their babies, so they play prenatal education music all day. In fact, the music played most of the time is inaudible to the baby; Because he's fast asleep!

Do you know that the baby sleeps most of the time every day and stays awake for no more than an hour? The fetus in the first trimester can only wake up for 5 minutes every day. With the increase of months, the baby's waking time can be extended to 30 minutes before delivery. Therefore, it is best for mothers to grasp the baby's waking time for prenatal education, otherwise, it is likely to be in vain.

So, how do you know if the baby is awake? The key is to adjust the baby's biological clock. Mother must have a fixed time for prenatal education, such as 7: 30 in the morning and 8: 00 in the evening. Then mothers must insist on prenatal education for their babies in these two time periods every day. Generally, the baby's biological clock will be adjusted within two to three weeks, and then the baby will wake up.

Prenatal education opportunities

When some couples know that they want to be parents, they immediately say that they want to give their babies prenatal education, but in fact, it is not only useless to do prenatal education so early, but it may also affect the baby's growth and development. This is because most fetuses spend their sleep, so in order not to disturb the baby's sleep as much as possible, the implementation of prenatal education should follow the law of fetal physiological and psychological development and cannot be carried out at will.

There are two peaks in the division and proliferation of fetal brain cells. The first peak is 2-3 months pregnant, and the second peak is 7-8 months pregnant. Therefore, in general, these two periods are the golden age of baby prenatal education.

2-3 months pregnant

The secret of prenatal education: keep a good mood and stimulate the senses.

The mood of expectant mothers can affect the development of the fetus through endocrine changes, and maintaining a healthy and happy mood is the key to prenatal education in this period. In addition, giving the fetus appropriate advanced benign sensory stimulation is another content of prenatal education in this period. Expectant mothers can gently massage the lower abdomen, or gently shake it in a rocking chair, and give fetal pressure and tactile stimulation through the shock of amniotic fluid to promote the development of fetal nervous system.

7-8 months pregnant

The secret of prenatal education: sound stimulation and tactile induction.

At the second peak of brain development, the fetal auditory system is developing rapidly. Expectant mothers should consciously carry out corresponding hearing training for their fetuses, and can play beautiful lyric music, chat with their babies and tell stories. In addition, at this stage, the baby's nervous system develops rapidly and is sensitive to touch and strength. Expectant mothers can gently pat and touch the abdomen, echoing and cooperating with the activities of the fetus in the uterus, so that the fetus can feel something about it; Touching or massaging pregnant women's abdomen on time can promote the coordinated development of their brain functions, especially for their children's flexibility and coordination in the future.

environment

Prenatal education is to let the fetus enjoy a good environment when it is in the mother's womb, and make the child smart, stable in personality, and high in emotional intelligence and IQ after birth. To achieve this goal, we must create a good prenatal education environment, let pregnant women live in a comfortable and pleasant environment, maintain a healthy mental and psychological state, and avoid the stimulation of bad factors.

Anemia in pregnant women will affect fetal brain development.

Pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia will not only have low immunity, but also affect the normal development of fetal brain. Clinically, the first trimester of pregnancy is a period of rapid increase of fetal brain nerve cells, which is a critical period of brain development. If pregnant women have anemia symptoms at this stage, it is very likely to affect the intelligence and behavioral ability of the fetus after birth.

other

1, expectant mothers need to have the necessary knowledge and a cool head.

There are so many prenatal education programs on the market that they hit parents' eyes. Young parents can't bear to let their children fall behind, and donate money to participate in training or buy these "programs" under the banner of "science" and "experts" In fact, it is misleading parents. Some are guided by genetic determinism, some are obviously contrary to the natural process of children's development, and some are just for economic purposes. It is suggested that parents who are going to have children learn some knowledge about their children's development from regular professional units and other channels, including mental health during pregnancy, children's psychology and education, and prenatal education. Want to know what you know, keep a cool head, be good at identifying and choosing the method that suits you.

2. Appropriate degree and reliable method.

Some parents think that the more prenatal education activities, the better. In fact, this may interfere with the biological clock of the fetus. Some music tapes, music selections, rhythms and instruments are not suitable for prenatal education. General music should be smooth and clear, with a rhythm close to the normal heart rate. Musical instruments should be simple and elegant, with a frequency of about 500 ~ 1500 Hz, which can make people feel comfortable, quiet, happy and beautiful. Some medium and high frequency music tapes are not suitable for prenatal education because the fetus can't feel them through the abdominal wall.

3. Grasp the scale of prenatal education

There are still some operational skills and techniques in the implementation of specific prenatal education, such as massage techniques, pressure, time-consuming, normal or abnormal fetal response, etc. In order to avoid unnecessary accidents, it must be carried out under the guidance of prenatal education experts and obstetricians. You should also pay attention to reasonable nutrition, the law of life, your own behavior and keep an optimistic mood. The mother's surprise, horror and hatred will also be transmitted to the fetus, which will make the fetus feel afraid and thus refuse the information transmitted by the mother to him.

The gentle voice of prospective parents during pregnancy can stimulate the fetal hearing development and enhance the fetal comfort. When the fetus is inside the mother, it begins to remember the mother's voice, even the father's voice, which makes it feel comfortable and stable. If prospective parents can always talk to the fetus in their bellies in a gentle voice, they will certainly make the fetus feel "loved".

(1) Both men and women come from different family environments and backgrounds, so they must be well informed and fully prepared for the arrival of a "new life".

(2) A balanced and nutritious diet.

(3) Being pregnant in a quiet and comfortable environment; Relax yourself, the lights should be soft and create a happy atmosphere.

(4) Talk about the fetus: care for the fetus with love, talk to him, say hello, look at the trees, look at the flowers, and tell the fetus the specific date.

(5) Establish a mother-child utopia belonging to mother and fetus, learn garden bonsai, or learn to be a clay figurine, shape the face of an imaginary child, or enjoy beautiful things with the fetus.

(6) Maintain a happy and stable mood and enjoy the happiness of being a mother with the blessing and care of family members.

(7) Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation, provide proper nutrition and healthy growth atmosphere for the fetus, which is very effective for brain development and growth.

(8) Listening to music: When the fetus is five to seven months old, hearing and development are growing, and music is conducive to intellectual development.
