There are many learning opportunities for small-month-old babies, and their "learning" is happening anytime and anywhere. As parents, you can't roughly attribute your baby's study to the study of subject knowledge, but you must learn a nursery rhyme, a word and so on. Can it be called "learning".
For example, a baby who can't talk can distinguish and respond to different people's voices, such as grandparents, parents and so on, which is also learning for the baby. Or when he meets different small animals and realizes different colors in life, it belongs to learning. In short, you must not separate your baby's study and life.
Second, let children fall in love with learning, and parents should learn to encourage communication.
When children do their own things, they may be meaningless and playful behaviors in the eyes of parents, such as "doodling", which is actually a manifestation of children's learning and accumulation of experience. Parents should first recognize and encourage their children, instead of defining their behavior and denying their initiative with our adult eyes. For children, this is a way for them to explore the world. At this time, when children interact with their parents, parents must respond, so that children feel accepted and recognized, thus stimulating their enthusiasm for further exploration.
Third, protect children's curiosity and take children's questions seriously.
Curiosity is a very important motivation for children to learn actively. When children can talk, there may be countless strange problems coming at their parents. Whether the question can be answered or not, parents should first treat their children's problems with serious concern. If the question happens to be known by the parents, then answer it carefully for the children; If parents don't know much about it themselves, they can go online or read relevant books to inquire and consult professionals, or find answers and solve problems with their children.
On the one hand, it helps children to increase their knowledge. On the other hand, parents set an example of active learning. Children may observe more in the future and are more willing to take the initiative to study problems. Parents should never refuse their children's questions impatiently and rudely, which will dampen their curiosity and enthusiasm and is not conducive to cultivating their good habit of active learning.
Fourth, parents' "wrong" behavior that hinders their children's autonomous learning.
Worry too much. Sometimes children will concentrate on playing, reading and even staring blankly. But out of concern for their children, parents may disturb their children from time to time, such as asking for "eating a fruit" and "drinking some milk". In fact, these behaviors will hinder the development of children's concentration. Parents try not to interfere when their children concentrate on one thing.
Instead, it was arranged. In the process of children's growth, many things have to be done by children themselves. For example, if a child wants to drink water, or his shoelaces are open, parents will go forward to do it instead of the child, so that the child can express "want to drink water" or kneel down to tie his shoelaces. For children, they are deprived of the opportunity to practice expression and do it themselves. In the long run, it may bring children to deny themselves and think that they are "worthless." It is not conducive to the development of children's self-esteem and self-confidence.
Seedlings promote growth. Compare your children with children of the same age. If other children master a skill and can recite a Tang poem, but their own children can't, they are considered "backward". This behavior is not conducive to the healthy growth of children. Children's growth and development should not be compared with other children, but should be measured and recorded regularly, and the development level of children should be judged through objective growth evaluation.
Fifth, create a good environment suitable for children's autonomous learning.
First of all, the learning environment should be safe. If there are unsafe factors in the environment, on the one hand, it may bring bad psychological experience to children and affect their desire for autonomous learning. On the other hand, in order to avoid danger, parents often have to disturb and prevent their children from doing something, which is very unfavorable to their independent learning.
Second, we should provide children with rich and comprehensive learning materials, and don't blindly restrict their children just because of their parents' likes and dislikes, or even force them to learn things that they are not interested in.
02 high frequency problem 1. Do you need to create a bilingual environment for your children from an early age? How old did you start building?
A: According to the law of children's growth and development, mother tongue is an essential part of children's growth. Whether it is necessary to create a bilingual environment depends on the actual family life. If both parents have foreign language conditions, the baby can live in a bilingual environment from an early age; If both parents are from China and live in China, they can communicate with their children in their familiar language. Parents should also be reminded that children are very sensitive to language and have strong learning ability. If your foreign language is not particularly good, it is not recommended to have bilingual communication with your child. Actually, monolingualism and bilingualism are not important. Just use your best and most convenient language to guide your child.
2. How should an eight-month-old child receive early education?
A: Many parents may think that early education can only be called early education if they go to an early education institution and study or play games under the guidance of teachers. Actually, it's not. For children, as long as they are awake, they have been "learning". For example, turning around is to exercise the ability to control the body, and looking around is to strengthen the cognition and adaptation to the environment. These are all "early education".
In addition to taking children to early education institutions, the most important thing for parents is to create a rich learning environment for their children at home. Play with children more, interact with children more, take children out for walks more, and cultivate children's social adaptability, language expression ability and sports ability. This kind of "early education" is what children need most.
3. Children always watch mobile phones, and picture books can't last long. How to cultivate children's reading ability?
A: In fact, when encountering such a problem, parents should first recall whether they often habitually brush their mobile phones when accompanying their children. If so, children will naturally be interested and curious about the contents of their mobile phones when they see that their parents always keep them. Parents are advised to start from themselves, put down their mobile phones, accompany their children to study, set a good example for their children, accompany their children wholeheartedly and improve the quality of parent-child interaction.
4. Can the baby learn with electronic products?
A: Babies under 2 years old should try to avoid using electronic products. Because compared with electronic products, babies can learn more comprehensively and stereoscopically when they get in touch with and know the real things. For children over 2 years old, electronic products can be used appropriately, but parents must strictly control the learning content and choose high-quality content suitable for their development level and interests. In addition, the use of electronic products does not mean simply throwing electronic products to children and treating electronic products as "baby-teasing artifacts". Electronic products are only tools to help children learn, and it is parents themselves who really guide and accompany their children.
5. When the baby looks at the picture book, he will turn to the end after turning a few pages. How to guide a baby to read a picture book?
A: Younger babies often turn to the last page when reading picture books. This is probably because the baby can't really find his own interest in the process of browsing. At this time, parents should not worry. On the one hand, the baby may have just come into contact with a new picture book and is not familiar with its content. Read it several times, and he will be willing to read it carefully when he is familiar with it. On the other hand, when the baby reads the picture book, it is more important for the parents to "talk", which can guide the baby to pay attention to the interesting content in the book and tell the interesting content in the picture book in language. For example, "Wow, there is a little tiger here", "Hey, what is this little lion doing" and so on. First of all, it is no longer difficult for children to be interested in picture books, and it is no longer difficult to calm down and read.
6. Children don't want to share toys with others. How to guide them?
A: Many parents report that children seem selfish and unwilling to share their toys with other children. In fact, before the age of 6, children often have such "selfish" behavior as their parents say, because they can't clearly understand the concepts of "what belongs to me" and "what belongs to you". This is just a necessary stage of baby's psychological development. Parents don't have to be too anxious, let alone arbitrarily label their children as "selfish" and "unwilling to share", let alone force them to share.
