1. The development of children's language is the key to early education-thinking, which is closely related to language. The development of thinking is inseparable from the development of language. The development of children's language largely determines the success or failure of early childhood education. According to the research of child development psychologists, early childhood is a stage of rapid language development, during which children's ability to express things has been greatly improved. 1 year-old is the best time for children to actively understand the language; 2 ~ 3 years old is the best time to learn oral English; 4 ~ 5 years old is the best time to learn written language. The growth of vocabulary in early childhood is the fastest, about 3 ~ 4 times, that is, 800 ~1000 at the age of 3; 4 years old,1600 ~ 2000; 2200 ~ 3000 at the age of 5; 6 years old, 3000 ~ 4000. There are two remarkable characteristics in children's language development: one is talking to oneself; One keeps talking. Children often talk to themselves and nag. Children's "self-centered speech" is often manifested in actions or games. He (she) doesn't want to communicate with others, but expresses his thoughts and concerns about things, so as to consciously express his thoughts. It helps children think loudly. Children often do this, which can internalize actions into appearances and promote the development of thinking; At the same time, it can temporarily satisfy children's wishes that cannot be realized in life, which is conducive to the development of personality. As you get older, you will talk less and less to yourself. The development of children's language is mainly achieved through language communication with adults. Therefore, parents and teachers (including nannies) of young children should attach importance to language communication with young children, and increase their vocabulary and improve their ability to understand language meaning as the top priority of early childhood education. 2. Developing children's imagination is the focus of early childhood education. Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress and is the source of knowledge evolution. Imagination participates in the thinking process. If the imagination is poor, the thinking will be narrow and the intelligence will not be fully developed. Imagination can be the internal driving force of children's will behavior. Children with weak imagination tend to rely on action and behave more aggressively. Psychological projection test proves that encouraging children's imagination can make active children calm down and gradually concentrate on thinking about an object or problem. In a certain sense, developing imagination is conducive to the cultivation of children's character. Music plays a considerable role in developing children's imagination. Because of the different rhythm, tone and intensity of music, the hearing organs and afferent nerves of children will produce * * * sounds with some tissues in the body, thus stimulating and enriching imagination and cultivating children's temperament. In addition, the use of fascinating stories, colorful paintings, lively movies, interesting toys, a wide variety of animals and plants, and even sand and wood blocks that can be picked up can stimulate and cultivate children's imagination. 3. Games are the most important means of early childhood education. Childhood is also called "play period", because children naturally like games. The most basic form of children's activities is play. Games are a means of children's self-education and self-treatment, and also the most effective way to develop their intelligence. Games can significantly develop children's observation, attention, memory, imagination and thinking ability. Improve children's visual sensitivity and memory through games. Games can promote children's positive cognitive activities and try to solve problems. Games can also cultivate children's non-intellectual factors. Children will not be afraid of setbacks and temptations in the game, and actively cooperate to solve problems. It can be seen that education in the fun of games is very easy to turn the demands of adults into the wishes of children, so that education can get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, parents and teachers should always organize their children to carry out diversified game activities purposefully and in a planned way. 4. Family upbringing is an important condition for early childhood education, and children's personality and psychological characteristics are taking shape. The psychological characteristics of personality formed in early childhood are often the core component or backbone structure of human personality characteristics. After childhood, although people can also transform bad parts of their personality, it is often a change in quantity. Unless there is an extremely important turning point in the objective environment or personal experience, it is difficult to change the behavior stereotype that has been formed. Educator Locke said that the impressions gained in early childhood, even if small, are almost imperceptible, but have a very significant and lasting impact. Therefore, family education has special significance in early education.
