Baidu asked, "How old does the baby know new words?" Many parents actually began to know new words in a few months, and there is no map card.
A few days ago, in the early education class, a father drew a hammer for his child. Baidu showed a picture of a hammer for my two-and-a-half-year-old son to follow. A mother took the child's hand and wrote it from 1 to 10 on the drawing paper to teach the child to recite it repeatedly.
Many people are worried that their children will lose at the starting line, and they are afraid that their children will fall behind. To tell the truth, as a mother, I am also afraid. But I know better that a child's mind has its own rules. They are like Koizumi's eyes, and they can spray gurgling spring water with our help. But if we choose to fill them with water, it may make them eat early and look more powerful than others, but it will also interfere with their own spring instinct. We only inject lifeless water.
However, as a parent, I also understand the psychology of those who want to raise children. What can we do to lay a good foundation for the baby before the age of three, and what can we do to make him grow up healthily and not fall behind the requirements of this society? Combined with several years of teaching experience and understanding of children's physical and mental development characteristics, I summarized the following contents. Please criticize and correct the shortcomings. This paper focuses on the content of cognitive enlightenment, and there will be an article about psychology and behavior habits. )
Children's physical health is the foundation of all growth. In infancy, children must try to eat healthy food, eat more green vegetables and avoid out-of-season, genetically modified and junk food. A child's appetite is also a habit. When he is used to the taste of healthy food, he tends not to covet unhealthy food.
Physical training, including big movements and fine movements, is a part of children's cognitive world. From the moment he was born and opened his eyes, he was exploring and understanding this big world. Therefore, it is necessary to help him practice the movements such as raising his head, turning over, sitting and climbing, and then use some equipment to climb and run when he is older, so as to improve the development and coordination in all aspects within the acceptable strength of the body.
What is common to adults is novel to children. Both the cars on the road and the clouds on the horizon have a strong attraction to them. Therefore, when a child's eyes can focus on something, we can take him outdoors more. Pedestrians in the street, the breeze blowing, flowers and trees, birds singing and people talking are all stimulating their senses. Especially on special occasions, when it snows or flowers bloom, I will take my children out to play. This can not only improve their understanding of society, cultivate their observation, stimulate their mental development, but also make them more confident. When he sees something familiar, he must have a different kind of excitement and sense of accomplishment. You can also let children participate in our lives, help us do some small things, or participate in our work. These are all good ways to exercise.
Too young children don't know what habits are, but we consciously keep a regular life, which will blur their living habits over time. When our son was very young, we tried not to make a sound when we slept at night. I don't even allow others to help me, just to ensure a quiet and undisturbed sleeping environment. I turned the light to the darkest when I was still drinking night milk, so he slept regularly. Even if he woke up in the middle of the night for a month or two, he never cried, but fell asleep after playing for a while.
Later, when he is older, you can tell him when to turn on the light, where to sit when eating, where to throw the garbage, and when he is about two years old, he will know where to relieve himself. After that, I will take the initiative to lie on the sofa and ask my mother to help me wipe my ass. I will also know how to put clothes into the storage basket. Even if it is a small matter, he can learn to understand that life needs such habits and laws.
Children before the age of three generally don't obey our instructions, and we shouldn't restrain them by instructions. Only by learning to decode their behavior and understand the emotions and psychology behind them can we know how they perceive the world.
At one time, my son especially liked to throw stainless steel bowls on the ground. At that time, it was only a space sensitive period. He felt the height while listening to the sound. Other children like to crush food, perhaps to experience the texture of food. Older children sometimes stubbornly cry against us. At this time, we need to put aside superficial behavior and be patient to understand what his real needs are. None of the children are specific to their parents. Some stubborn behaviors of children often represent that their cognition is not satisfied. Of course, this kind of demand and desire are not the same thing, so we need to treat them differently, respect them and not indulge them.
There are many toys on the market now. Adults look interesting, but some children are tired of playing with them. Throw the children into a pile of toys and make time to play some family games or parent-child games. I remember that after my son was eight months old, we often played the game of "big mother leads little baby to climb" until I was over two years old, that is, I lay on the ground with him and he climbed under my stomach. In toys, children can play with sand, mud and water. When conditions don't allow, we also put a pot of rice and several shovels in his toy area, which is always enjoyable.
We don't need to repeat the importance of parent-child reading, but don't over-read. Some children who like reading may not get tired of talking for a long time, but at their age, they know that the world is not just a story, but more importantly, the real thing. So one hour a day is enough. After listening more, children will be more sensitive to language, understand adults' words more easily and express themselves fluently.
Younger children like rhyming short words, and older children can add illustrated stories and try to be diversified and professional instead of choosing some didactic content. For details, please refer to my article: "Parents and children aged 0-2 have repeatedly failed to read? The most feasible way is here.
"2-year-old Xiong Haizi doesn't love picture books? Let's try fancy reading.
Children of this age should pay special attention, don't over-guide, don't preach, and let them draw at will. After painting, you can communicate with your child what he painted. Painting at this age is the result of the initial development of imagination, and it is also an expression. It is inappropriate for such a big child to appreciate the paintings of international masters, which belongs to the category of adult painting. The style of painting in international awards will be more suitable for them. For details, please refer to my other article, "Some misunderstandings in infant painting, see if you have been recruited".
Listening to music is not only to cultivate children's sense of music, but also an emotional cultivation and aesthetic enlightenment. Let the child enjoy the cheerful melody and dance, and he will hum and jump with it. No matter what action it is, as long as he is willing to express it in this way, it is also a kind of mental and emotional development.
In fact, English enlightenment before the age of three is relatively simple. At this time, children have the ability to accept two languages. When reading English picture books, it is enough to read English through. But after the age of seven, children who have no English enlightenment can only understand by one sentence in English and one sentence in Chinese. At this time, the enlightenment is mainly to grind the ears, and the received English signals should be pure, otherwise it will mislead the children. The main methods can be reading the original picture books, listening to English nursery rhymes with clear rhythm and so on.
Children of this age are parallel games and will not cooperate with others. The purpose of getting along with peers is to let the child know that he is in such an environment. It should be noted that at this time, they don't know how to share, and they can't be harsh on grabbing toys. When they can't solve it, they need to come forward and divert their attention. They may learn how to play from their peers, or there will be some interaction and friction between them, which are all indispensable links in learning and communication.
The younger the child is, the stronger the ability to feel adults. Some lactating children and even mothers will show symptoms of irritability when they are unhappy. Therefore, before the age of three, adults should especially establish praise in their manners. This wayward behavior of losing his temper casually will only teach Xiong Haizi who is more wayward than us. When we meet children, we can also meet better ourselves. For the sake of children, we can also be better ourselves.
Regarding the numbers and literacy at the beginning of the article, it is best not to start too early, because children's abstract thinking has not yet formed, and starting too early will interfere with children's mental development. Children over two years old may understand the concepts of three and four according to the physical objects, and it is also possible to have the concept of numbers. In addition, language expression by comparing pictures can stimulate children's language ability and understanding ability more than literacy.
All the above contents are suitable for children's daily life. Most of these practices can make children more imaginative and creative, and make them observant and exploratory. These practices have been accompanied by children for a long time, and he will have more thinking and initiative in his later studies. The content of rigid knowledge and abstract thinking can wait until the right age.
