Me too. I started watching early education classes when I was pregnant with Dabao. What are you going to teach my children? What does he want? I've been thinking about it many times in my mind. I don't know if you are like this.
When is the best time to start early education?
The reason why many parents want to give their children early education is to improve their IQ and make them smarter. But in fact, early education is not limited to these, but more importantly, the development of behavior and character. Early education is a continuous process, the effect can not be immediate, but it has a subtle influence on children.
So when does early education start? In our traditional concept, formal written education begins in primary school, even earlier, that is, in kindergarten, about three years old. No matter how early, it seems that children don't quite understand.
But in fact, many studies on infants at home and abroad show that it is too late to start children's education at the age of 3. The golden age of children's brain development is 0~3 years old. At this stage, early education of deformity is the best.
Pavlov, a famous psychologist, said: "Babies begin to receive education from the third day of birth, which is two days late. ''
In other words, our baby can start early education from birth, and he is ready to receive early education from birth.
At this time, parents follow their development characteristics and can provide him with five major stimuli: vision, touch, reflection, speech and hearing. So, how to do it?
How to do early education for newborns?
As we said above, the purpose of early education is not only to make children smarter, but more importantly, to stimulate the brain to connect synapses and develop children's abilities in all aspects.
1, visual training
When the baby was born, his eyesight was not very good, and his concept of color was vague, but he was very sensitive to black and white. Therefore, parents can put some black and white geometric patterns and chessboard patterns around the baby, which can stimulate the baby's visual system.
When the baby is about 4 months old, he is sensitive to color, so he can change a colored card.
For example, show your baby moving toys (brightly colored), or hang dolls, bells, colored balls, etc. By the bed. Swinging back and forth will attract the baby to watch.
2. Listening training
In the fetal period, the baby has hearing and can hear the outside world. After the baby is born, there will be directional power of sound. He prefers to listen to gentle and harmonious voices, and he can remember his mother's voice about 2 weeks after birth!
The caregiver can call the baby's name and let the baby look for it from different positions. You can also put most and a few stones in plastic bottles and gently shake them at a distance of 10cm to let him hear the sound.
3. Tactile training
In tactile training, you can massage and touch your baby, and there are many related videos on the Internet. When touching, you should have eye contact, language communication and so on with your baby.
Or let the baby try to catch some different toys, such as bells and balls.
You can also touch the baby's head, limbs, pull his fingers, move his palms and so on. These methods can train the baby's sense of touch.
4. Reflex training
The so-called reflex stimulation is actually to stimulate the baby's instinctive behavior such as looking up, turning over, crawling and walking. For example, when the baby wants to climb, you can help him push forward with one leg, and the baby will climb forward faster. Or when the baby is swimming, give it a push and he will swim faster.
Therefore, giving a child a reflex stimulus is the best stimulus, which can realize his instinct and gradually become a baby's skill.
In addition, there is speech training. Professor Jerry Lun of the University of Chicago found that the number of conversations between parents and babies is closely related to the baby's vocabulary. So parents should talk to their baby more, such as what you are doing, where you are taking your baby, and so on. And the baby's language development will be faster.
