The cost of raising a child is very high, especially education.
I believe all parents have heard of Montessori, Reggio, Waldorf and other lofty educational ideas. The courses of these early education classes range from one to two hundred and one to thousands.
Not reporting? I'm afraid the child will know nothing! Must report to the early education class. The economy at home really can't support such high consumption!
Besides, the baby is too young to concentrate. Every minute is wasted, which is really worrying!
What should we do?
In fact, really good early education classes can be learned not only in these courses, but also in family life. For example, taking children to the supermarket can save a lot of early education expenses.

Supermarket is an interesting textbook for babies.
Many mothers think it is a big trouble to take their children to the supermarket. It's not only a distraction, but also a variety of tricks, so they don't want to take their children to the supermarket.
But Sodom's friends don't think so:
My little son is 4 years old. She occasionally takes her baby to the supermarket consciously. She said that she could teach children a lot of knowledge in the supermarket. On one occasion, I deliberately took a break to accompany them around and wanted to see how the effect was!
On entering the supermarket, the Baby didn't run away like other children, but took out a piece of paper under the guidance of his mother, wrote about 8 items on it and drew a simple picture.
At first, I was looking for a marker. The little guy wandered around the stationery room for a while, finished reading one by one and chose a 24-color one; Then, the little guy began to buy other things happily, followed by soy sauce, salt, apples, yogurt, potatoes, carrots and eggs. In less than half an hour, he has quickly found a place to put these items.
I am curious, why can her baby be so obedient?
The friend said, "This is the result of many visits, and he enjoys this activity of looking for trouble. Although there will be times when I want to buy sweets and biscuits, I told him from an early age that' buying this is beyond the budget, we have no plans to buy this, and it will be included in the plan next time', which basically solved the problem. "
The friend also said: "The supermarket is actually a very interesting teaching material and the best practice place for babies. I usually told him a lot of picture books and learned about various colors and objects. As long as you come to the supermarket once, you can correspond one by one, and you can remember these items in the future. "

Learn from playing, so visiting the supermarket can develop cognition.
Taking the baby to the supermarket, some people say it's simple, others say they can do it by themselves, but whether it can really play the role of early education, we must pay attention to methods.
6 months ~ 1 year
During this period, taking the baby to the supermarket can stimulate the senses.
Tell the baby repeatedly what to buy today, such as:
Today, we want to buy apples. They are red, a little round and a little fragrant. Babies should smell them, too
We want to buy some eggs. They are oval and their shells are slippery. Let's touch them too.
We want to buy bananas, which are yellow; Eggplant is purple; Grapefruit is round; Kiwifruit is oval. ...
Nowadays, there are many early education courses for children to get in touch with vegetables and fruits and smell the smell, so as to realize sensory stimulation. You can also try this in the supermarket. Patiently describing the colors and shapes of various items in the supermarket helps children to enhance their cognition.
1 year ~ 1 year and a half
/kloc-before the age of 0, I took my baby to the supermarket, and I could only talk to myself a lot. Now I can simply communicate and inspire language.
For example, you can ask your baby some questions:
We want to buy bananas today, but where are the bananas?
This is a shower gel. Who will smell good after using it?
Oh, the baby's favorite milk is on it, right? Mom, take it off for you!
These dialogues seem simple, but they can arouse children's thinking, exercise their language learning ability and understanding ability, and know simple directions, such as up and down, left and right.
1 year and a half to 2 years old
At this time, the child's cognitive ability is stronger and he can exercise his observation ability.
For example, you can involve him in shopping like this:
We want to buy tomatoes today. Baby, can you help me put them in the basket? A tomato and a potato, let him choose.
I want to buy broccoli that my baby likes. Can you get it for me?
I want to buy two Sydney today. Can you get two for me? Choose a bigger one!
This is the stationery area, that is the daily necessities area, and that is the kitchen utensils, food and snacks area. We must buy daily necessities first.
By visiting the supermarket in this way, children can simply listen to and carry out shopping instructions, and their observation ability can also be improved. It can also give him a simple understanding of numbers and establish the corresponding relationship between numbers and objects.
2 ~3 years old
At this time, children can be taught to know the price tag, understand the text and cultivate their memory.
For example, when you see something, you can say:
This is milk. It says milk. The baby loves it, right?
Today, we want to buy diapers for our baby. Look, mom wrote it down!
What does that big sign say? Oh, noodles. Does the baby know?
Today, we want to buy eight things, including xx, xx, ... A baby should help his mother remember them.
Knowing words and learning to write can't rely on rote memorization, especially in early childhood, so teaching children to read can improve their interest. In addition, you can also ask your child to repeat what you want to buy. Long-term exercise is beneficial to the improvement of memory.
After 3 years old
At this time, children can be taught to distinguish money, get financial enlightenment and learn basic arithmetic.
For example, you can give him some money to help pay:
Today, we bought 65 yuan. With the money given by my mother, we can buy these things.
This 10 yuan, that 5 yuan, a * * * 15 yuan. I bought a packet of noodles.
Baby, help your mother give the money to your aunt so that we can take these things home.
Mom will give you 5 yuan to see what you like.
These practices can not only let children have a simple understanding of "money" of different denominations, but also have a concept of "buying". They can also let children know that if they want to buy something, they must exchange it with money instead of taking it away or robbing it.
In addition, every time we go home after shopping, we can spend a little time smashing all the things we bought and let the baby repeat what he bought today.
Little sun
It's really easy to take the child to the supermarket and let him learn something, depending on his parents' intentions! Because the truly meaningful education is not only in books, as long as you observe life attentively, it plays a role all the time.
I would also like to remind you that it is recommended to go to the supermarket when there are few people, and it is not recommended to buy large items when taking children to the supermarket. Just buy some small items.
