The method of early childhood education, the arrival of a newborn brings happiness to a family, and it is also a test for novice parents. To ensure the healthy growth of children, we should always pay attention to their development and do a good job in family education. Let's learn about the methods of early childhood education.

Methods of early childhood education 1 What is early education?

Early education is an organized, purposeful and environment-rich educational activity, which promotes the all-round development of infants and children and maximizes their potential according to the laws of their sports, intelligence and emotional development.

Early education is family-centered, and parents are the first responsible persons. Early educators teach parents the laws of infants' sports, intelligence and emotional development, and guide parents to make use of rich environment, such as language environment, necessary conditions for free activities, game methods and warm emotional atmosphere, so as to promote infants' all-round development by scientific methods.

Early education should start with the newborn.

Infant is the fastest period of psychological development. The younger you are, the faster you develop. Under 3 years old, especially 0 ~ 1 year old, the intelligence development of infants and young children is changing with each passing day. Learning ability has a critical period. Critical period refers to the period when some knowledge or behavior experience is most easily acquired and formed in a specific period or stage. If you miss this period, you will not be able to achieve or reach the highest level.

The foundation of children's intellectual development is the brain, and the first few years of life are the fastest period of brain development. The newborn brain weighs 370 grams; At 6 months, it is 700 grams, about twice as much as at birth (50% of adult brain weight); At the age of 2, it is three times that of birth (3/4 of adults);

At the age of 4, it is four times that of an adult, but its weight is only 27% of that of an adult. So the brain develops first. The proliferation period of nerve cells in human brain is from early pregnancy to postnatal 1 year. After this period, nerve cells no longer replicate or regenerate, but the proliferation of supporting cells that maintain the nutrition and conduction of nerve cells lasts from the third trimester of pregnancy to the second year after birth.

What should we pay attention to in early education?

The key to early education is "early", and there are many noteworthy places in the concrete implementation of early education.

1. has the correct guiding ideology. The purpose of early education is to develop children's potential as soon as possible, so that all aspects of children can be fully developed, not just to let children master certain knowledge or skills as soon as possible. For example, in the process of early education, music, numbers or words are chosen as educational materials, with the purpose of providing children with rich opportunities for early stimulation, promoting the full development of children's nervous system, especially their brains, and improving the speed and depth of children's acceptance of external information.

2. Understand the laws and characteristics of children's physical and mental development. Although it is never too early to develop children's intelligence, the timing of implementation is still very important. This requires parents to have a preliminary understanding of their children's psychology before preparing for early education.

Have a clear understanding of children's physical and mental development, and understand the laws, characteristics and related influencing factors of different aspects of children's psychology. On this basis, only when parents adopt correct educational means can early education really achieve results.

3. The stimulation provided to children should be rich and colorful. For example, in addition to using music to stimulate prenatal education, we should often touch the abdomen of pregnant women to stimulate the tactile development of the fetus. After birth, we should provide various stimuli for sensory channels such as vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell and balance.

4. Give priority to making children feel happy. Early education is only the understanding of adults, and there is no such word in children's world. In other words, all activities that can be regarded as early education by adults are only activities that enrich life in the eyes of children. In other words, children should not feel any burden and pressure when implementing early education, and should not feel that it is necessary. Of course, if this kind of learning becomes a habit, children will consciously think it is necessary.

Early education is not only to develop intelligence, but also to cultivate good personality and ability to adapt to life and society, so that children can become useful talents recognized by society in the future.

6. Don't rush for success. The role of early education is enormous, but its effect may be slow. Parents must be aware of this. Never educate children today, and hope to see miracles tomorrow.

Early childhood education methods. 1 year ~ 1 year and a half.

(1) psychological development

Action: 1 year old, about 3 months old, can walk independently and squat down. 1 1/2 years old can climb the steps, throw the ball, run but not steady. Imitate the simple actions of others, and sometimes imitate the actions of doing housework. 2~5 squares 1 inch can be built.

Language: 1 year-old to 1 year-old and a half is the stage of understanding the language, and formal learning begins. /kloc-around 0/year and a half, I can say some words and sentences with 2~4 words, such as: shoes, pants, mom coming, goodbye to mom, etc. Start communicating with others by words and gestures. Can say his name. You can agree or disagree. I can probably master 100 ~200 words. When I was nearly one and a half years old, I was able to look at pictures and listen to simple stories told by adults.

Thinking: the ability of analysis and understanding is improved, and a kind of thinking activity accompanied by action or behavior is gradually produced. Pay attention to the surrounding environment, observe the toys carefully, and try to understand the internal and external structures. Toys and articles are gradually replacing adults as the center of children's attention.

Others: memory has been further developed, and after leaving for an hour or two, I will imitate my peers' actions. All cognitive foundations are established as the starting point of future perception and wisdom development, and a certain number of basic emotional reactions, such as tears or anger, are also established; I like to compete when playing with children. Has basically left the state of self-centeredness. Want to help others when they are in trouble. Can distinguish different parts of your body.

2. Observe the surrounding environment of your home with your child in your arms, watch other children play, take them to the park often if you have the opportunity, explain them in combination with specific cultural relics, and teach your children to talk more.

3. Teach children the names of various parts of the body. Emphasis on training not only requires understanding the language, but also requires correct expression in short sentences of several words. Teach children to say some words about orientation, such as: front, back, up, down, etc.

4. Add some toys, such as colloidal puzzles, small building blocks, cars, balls and dolls. Children can play with clean water in summer, and pay attention to the proper water temperature. You can also play with clean sand.

Second, 1 year and a half to 2 years old

(1) psychological development

Action: 1 9 months can climb into the chair and control running. When I was nearly two years old, I completely mastered the walking skills. Holding a hand will make your feet jump. I can go up and down stairs. At first, I needed help. Later, I can help myself get up and down the railing. At the age of two, I was able to go up and down freely without handrails.

But the sentence structure is loose and the word order is often chaotic.

Start replacing yourself with your own name, such as "drink water clearly" and "eat sugar red". When I am almost two years old, I will say "I" and "you". I can tell your age. I will read some children's songs with adults. There are 400 to 500 words to understand. Because language is used as a signal to describe the outside world, language has become a useful tool, and the speed and breadth of intellectual activities have greatly increased. Thinking: the thinking situation is basically the same as that in the first half of the year, and it is still accompanied by action.

Others: You can find your way into the room and follow the instructions. I like playing with other children. Start to control daytime defecation. When I was two years old, I could know that going up and down would be bigger, smaller, more and less. Gradually master the use of some objects.

Methods of Early Childhood Education 3 Current Situation of Early Childhood Education

1, the total number of children's books is sufficient.

The survey shows that city children have enough books. More than 50 books per capita, accounting for 19.8%, and 20-40 books per capita, accounting for 75.3%. Children without books do not exist. Parents are always very willing to "generously" buy school supplies such as "books".

The content of children's books is one-sided.

Early reading in preschool is not equal to literacy education. Theoretically, parents agree with this view, but when buying books for their children, parents prefer "knowledge" (literacy and mathematics) books.

3. Children's reading environment is poor.

The survey found that although children have a certain number of books, they often put one in the east and the other in the west. Children without fixed shelves and schoolbags account for more than 50% of the total number of people surveyed, and children without reading corners account for more than 60%.

4. Children's reading interests and habits are worrying.

In the investigation and observation, children's reading interest is worrying. Only 30. 1% parents think their children "like reading", while 59.8% parents think their children "like reading". Many children love to "listen" to their parents' stories rather than "read" stories by themselves, so only 3.5% can "read them page by page" every day.

5. Lack of parental guidance.

Early reading has personalized educational characteristics and is easily influenced by interest and environment. Therefore, parents are the best teachers to guide their children to read. However, in the survey, it was found that 70% of parents thought that they lacked correct guidance methods and hoped to acquire this knowledge. Most parents just tell their children a story when they are "tangled".

6. There are many advanced literacy educators.

When we asked our children if they could read at home, 65.8% of the parents answered "Yes". Especially for children in large classes, 69.9% of parents even ask their children to "write". Although most parents think that early reading should be the "preparation stage for formal reading", many parents still carry out literacy education in advance due to the influence of social atmosphere and factors and concepts such as "early literacy" and "early talent".
