As the name implies, early education.
"It is generally believed that early education can start from the birth of a child. At different ages, the emphasis of education is different. For example, children under one year old mainly focus on sensory function training, motor training, language pronunciation training and parent-child communication; In addition to the above training, children aged one to three should also be trained and cultivated in perceptual action thinking, coherent action activities, language, playmate communication and personality formation. Early education is an interactive activity between infants aged 0-6 and their parents, and between infants and their parents or caregivers, which is conducive to the coordinated development and healthy growth of body, emotion, intelligence, personality and spirit. " (Quoted from * *)
Nowadays, the standard of living has generally improved, and families are generally only children (generally no more than two after the opening of the second child). Parents want to give their children the best, or make up for what they lacked as children, such as material and knowledge. They don't want their children to lose at the starting line, which is human nature.
However, every child faces a different family environment. It can't be said that early education is absolutely not advocated or must be enrolled in early education classes. It is necessary to make the best choice according to the situation of each child and considering the family situation.
What children aged 0-6 need most is the care and companionship of their families. In the case that their families have enough effective companionship and healthy growth environment, the author does not advocate entering early education classes, and does not need to compare with people around them. The best thing for children must be the company of parents and family.
For children of this age, early education courses are mainly companionship, games and guidance. If parents find that their children's performance in some aspects really needs correction and guidance or the family lacks effective companionship, they can participate in early education if the family's economic situation allows (at present, the prices of various early education classes are relatively high).
The author's child is two and a half years old. The reason why he chose to attend the early education class is because he is introverted and is a typical "one-stop at home, one worm at home". When he sees a stranger shy, he will lower his head and hide. Under the unbearable inner anxiety, he chose the early education class and focused on cultivating his communication skills.
According to the current class situation, I have improved my ability to communicate with others. Although I am still shy, I am very happy to meet strangers and have been able to say hello on my own initiative. After participating in the class, the author thinks that the content of early education mainly focuses on communication and interaction, focusing on guiding children, which does give children and parents an efficient interaction time, but conditional family education can be done completely.
There are two classes a week. If children are interested, they are willing to play with other children (it can be considered as the third social circle provided by parents for their children besides kindergartens and communities). If the economic situation permits, some classes can be arranged appropriately. If children resist, or parents have enough time to spend with their children, there is no need to waste resources, but parents are advised to obtain some parent-child games or effective companionship methods and concepts from the Internet or some parenting books to influence and guide their children's growth.
