We often say, "Parents are children's first teachers." But many people don't fully understand this sentence, and simply think that it emphasizes the influence of parents' words and deeds on their children. In fact, what this sentence conveys is exactly a concept of family early education, that is, a series of early education behaviors implemented by parents for their children.

Early childhood is a critical period of intellectual development. In fact, we are no strangers to the concept of early education and pay more and more attention to it. But for the way of early education, most parents first think of taking their children to early education classes. Then, in addition to early education classes, or the time of early education classes, how can parents help their children seize this critical period?

1 What is family education?

Family early education, as its name implies, is to let parents be the guides of children's early education, especially parents, because in family early education, the role of parents is irreplaceable. Let early education be everywhere in life, and parents are parenting teachers. The purpose is to make children become gifted babies.

0-3 years old is a sensitive period for children's language, order, details, touch, and coordination of movements. Therefore, family early education seized the window opportunity of the sensitive period of children's physical and mental development, and advocated not only language or intellectual training for children in the early stage, but also cultivating a talent with sound personality and all-round development.

Of course, in the past, our understanding of early family education was the education of parents to their children in life, such as teaching children to eat with chopsticks or learn to walk. This way can be said to be the same and fragmented, and scientific early family education should be fine and comprehensive.

2 the benefits and significance of early family education

First of all, for children who haven't started to build a social environment, the family is the environment that they have the most contact with, so various factors in the family environment are directly or indirectly affecting them, so correct early family education is helpful to promote the healthy development of children's body and mind.

Secondly, in the process of children's growth, parents are the main objects of their learning and imitation. In other words, children know the world through their parents, and trust in their parents is the first. Therefore, compared with unfamiliar early education teachers, children will never cry and refuse their parents' companionship and education like entering an early education center. Conversely, having parents' company will enhance their confidence in learning activities.

How much do you know about early family education? The significance is greater than the early education class!

In addition, the long-term development of family early education activities is very conducive to the cultivation of parent-child relationship, establish the prestige of parents in children's hearts, strengthen trust, let children learn from life and develop good study habits and living habits. This virtuous circle will have a long-term impact on children's learning knowledge in their growth stage, their study and work in adulthood, and even the establishment of a family.

Therefore, don't think that everything will be fine if you enroll your child in an early education class. Even if you attend an early education class, family early education is still indispensable.

How to do early family education well?

Many parents are afraid that they have never been exposed to education and don't know much about early education. How to do early family education? Here are some points:

1 Keep a clear head and don't rush for success.

Whether you want full-time family early education or let your children attend early education classes, you need to put your mind right first. Education is a gradual process, not to mention children in early childhood. They grow up slowly and learn something, which requires the patience of their parents. Early education is not about going to school, not teaching children today, but testing children tomorrow, so don't be impatient and don't compare with others. Secondly, children should not interfere too much in learning activities, such as playing building blocks. What you can do is to try with them and open their minds.

2 improve their own quality

As the saying goes, "parenting is self-cultivation." Although we are not professional early education teachers, parents are always the best teachers for children. So what we need to do is to enhance our parenting ability and knowledge, improve our own quality, and help our children correctly and effectively.
