Why can't children be taught to read? 0 1.
In order to win at the starting line, many parents teach their children to read and count from the moment they can speak. Some parents found that their children were very clever and overjoyed, so they asked them to recite "300 Tang Poems" or even a dictionary. Some kindergartens do the same, teaching children to read and recite directly.
Do you know what the result is?
Song Juzhi, the father of Japanese picture books, said: "Let children read too early, or force them to form the habit of reading picture books as soon as possible. It is easy for children to form reading obstacles and destroy their imagination."
A few years ago, China had a question: Why do teachers usually fail to cultivate good children? The strangest thing is that those excellent senior teachers are full of peaches and plums, but the children's growth status is in a mess.
Why is this happening? There are many reasons, but the simplest one is shocking, that is, they want to instill knowledge into their children from a very young age and let them study.
The child of a teacher who has been playing truant since primary school said, "When I was born, my father bought me a small blackboard. As soon as I spoke, he put me in front of the blackboard and let me know abcd. My dad's' A' looked like doughnuts in the bakery next door, so I called' Donuts' and my dad beat me up. Then my dad said' ahhh' in my ear over and over again. That night, I dreamed that my head was full of screams ... "
Don't force children to study, but stimulate their autonomous learning ability.
These children, who are strongly taught to read by their parents, will perform particularly well in a certain stage of primary school, but in the later stage of primary school, there will be various problems, such as dyslexia, weariness of learning, inattention and strong hatred for teachers and classrooms. Seriously, there are emotional disorders, sleep disorders, eating disorders and so on.
Premature literacy and tough words will only inhibit the growth and outbreak of children's autonomous learning ability and make children resistant to learning.
As early as 1968, American mothers had a profound understanding of not letting their children study too early. This has to start with a lawsuit.
Miss Vera, a kindergarten teacher in Nevada, received a summons from the court. The mother of a little girl named Ruth in kindergarten sued Miss Vera for teaching her three-year-old daughter the letter "O" and compensated her for her mental disability of $65,438+0,000.
Mental disability fee?
Oh, no
Hearing this, many mothers will definitely feel strange. This is really great. Why do you have to complain? Is this mother crazy? You know, in China, some parents take kindergarten children home, and almost the first sentence is: "What words did you learn today?"
It seems that Miss Vera is more wronged than Dou E, but the result of the case is that Ruth's mother won. Ruth's mother's reason is that although Miss Vera taught Ruth to read, she deprived her of her imagination.
If she didn't know that "O" was a letter, Ruth could describe it as something round like the sun, apples, football and birds' eggs, but now she only knows that it is a letter.
When you didn't expect it, the child had already started reading.

What is learning?
Learning is not only knowing words, but also calculating. For the whole world, learning is an infinite exploration. This exploration requires various cognitive functions of the brain, such as sight, hearing, smell and feeling.
Children's ears, eyes and other sensory organs are always feeling the world and identifying strange things. Therefore, we often hear children ask curious questions.
Every question a child asks is actually learning. But we can't see the children studying hard. Instead, I felt impatient and held a big stick. "Don't ask those useless people, come and read." What is it like? It's like standing in front of a diamond treasure house, but stopping and struggling to dig out the little gold plated on the handrail of the gate. This is simply not worth the candle.
In addition, putting things in your mouth like a baby is also a way of learning. But many parents don't understand and force things out of their children's mouths.
In addition, there is a cycle of human cognition and reaction, which is "body-emotion-reason". In short, children's brains develop during exercise. Sometimes, it is more meaningful for children to run and jump than to sit down and read and write.
The children are learning while running and jumping.

Now, picture books have become a better way for mothers to accompany them, but some mothers still can't get rid of this model. They hold picture books and read them word by word with their fingers, so that children can focus on words, not pictures, not stories.
Why do you advocate reading picture books? Because the pictures in picture books are the most intuitive expression. As long as children see the picture, they can relate it to what they see in life and form a story outline in their minds. After the mother has finished speaking, the child will soon remember a story.
On the contrary, the words in the picture book directly cut off the children's thinking of feeling life and stories. Just like looking at the world through a window with thick curtains, what a child sees is that thick curtain, which will only make him lose interest and the function of the picture book will be completely lost.
Children's cognition of the world has a symbolic ladder, that is, objects, toys, pictures and vocabulary. To put it simply, children first learn about real objects, such as tables, then what toys and tables in pictures look like, and finally know that this thing is called a table.
Language is arbitrary, for example, the expression of the word "table" is different in different countries and regions. It is a function gradually developed by human beings in the process of understanding the world, and it is also the last stage of children's cognitive process.
On the other hand, if you only let children look at pictures and listen to your stories, then children will be interested in the words you read.
Song Juzhi once said that after listening to her mother telling the picture book several times, a child actually looked at the picture and pointed to the words, telling the story of the picture book word for word.
Media has three elements: interesting, informative and useful. In fact, for children to learn, they should also have these three elements, but they must be interesting and knowledgeable to be useful. Many times, it is very useful to be interesting and knowledgeable.
Children study socially.

Finally, children's learning also has strong sociality, especially language function.
The so-called sociality means communicating with each other. This kind of reciprocity is naturally between people. For example, even if we don't deliberately teach children to speak, children will quickly learn a language in the communication between parents and relatives, and children will continue to try to communicate with others with a word they have learned. The more such communication, the faster the child's language development, the better.
There is a time limit for children's language development. Early literacy is equivalent to isolating the social environment of children's language development with a hard symbol. Children's language development is limited, and then learning other knowledge will naturally be slower. At the same time, once children's self-confidence is frustrated, they will become bored and feel inferior. So, how can we make him get good grades?
In short, 0-6 years old is the golden stage of children's brain development. At this stage, it is necessary to give full play to children's sensory initiative as much as possible, let children learn in a way that they are good at, stimulate their self-learning ability, and let them read too early without sticking to details.
Why can't education force children to twist melons?
Why can't children study too early, because they are afraid of premature intellectual development and easy to overwork?
Finally, there is no stamina.
It's kind of adding fuel to the fire.
Can children study too early? I think literacy should also start with dolls ~ because there are too many electronic products in our lives now, and children lack the opportunity to contact words themselves, so we should develop this habit for children from an early age.
Why can't children be educated in literacy and literature too early? Many parents think that the sooner you can read, the smarter you are. They were burdened with too many expectations since childhood and were sent to various remedial classes by their parents. Lead to children's excessive learning pressure, and in severe cases, psychological and behavioral problems will occur, such as sleep disorders, eating disorders, emotional disorders, hyperactivity, convulsions and so on. Professor Shen from the Department of Child Psychiatry at Yonsei University School of Medicine in Seoul wrote "Wise Parents Let Children Grow Up Slowly" because he has to treat dozens of children who are sick due to excessive early education every day. He advocates that children should wait until they want to learn, first observe what they do, and when they find that children are curious about something, they should gently push them behind their backs to let them get in touch with all-encompassing nature.
Why do some people say that children should not study too early, and children should not study too early? Unless the child likes it, it is not necessary, just keep up with the teacher's rhythm, and there is no need to "add meals" to the child alone. Have fun.
Early literacy can easily lead to "heart disease"
Many parents think that the earlier a baby can read, the smarter he is. They attach too much importance to his study. Children are burdened with excessive expectations from their parents at an early age, which easily leads to excessive study pressure and serious psychological and behavioral problems, such as sleep disorders, eating disorders and emotional disorders (such as fear, anxiety, irritability, etc.). ), enuresis, hyperactive convulsions (such as squeezing eyes, etc.). ). To avoid similar psychological and behavioral problems for babies, we should give them more time to play and play freely, and let them learn excellent interpersonal qualities and personalities such as tolerance and forbearance in communication. ..... How to cultivate the baby's good character?
Why can't children write on their hands too early? The skeletal muscles of children's hands are far from mature, the ossification process of hand joints has not been completed, and the strength of hand muscles is also poor, so they are not competent for actions that require lasting strength.
Therefore, it can be said that it is also very difficult to ask children to write with the correct posture and stroke order too early. If children are forced to write, they can only draw words. Their handwriting is inevitably crooked, lacking nose and eyes, which makes people extremely tired.
The harm of children's premature writing
1, affecting children's muscle development
Before the age of five, the child's hand muscles were not very developed. If you let your child write with a pen too early, it will not only lead to the wrong pen-holding posture, but more importantly, your child's hands will be sore easily, which will cause muscle damage and finger deformation and other sequelae over time.
2, resulting in the phenomenon of backward strokes and conjoined characters.
The writing of Chinese characters pays attention to certain writing rules. If children write without knowing the rules of writing, they just draw words according to the gourd ladle. Over time, children are bound to develop the habit of writing backwards and linking words, which will affect their future study.
3. Affect the development of children's spinal bones.
The physiological curvature of children's spine is not formed, the ossification process is not completed, and the bones are easily deformed. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate children's correct standing and walking posture at this stage. If children write for a long time, it is difficult to maintain the correct sitting posture, and it is easy to form bad sitting posture such as hunchback and twisting, which may easily lead to spinal deformation.
4, easy to cause fatigue and phalangeal deformity.
Writing is mainly through the coordinated operation of finger muscles, phalanges and knuckles to complete hand-eye coordinated actions such as grasping, holding pens and controlling strokes. Because of the late development of small muscles, children's fine hand movements are clumsy and uncoordinated, and children will find it difficult to write. Almost formed a physical activity, coupled with children's poor muscle strength and endurance, Google is also very soft, if children write for a long time, it is easy to get tired or cause finger joint deformity.
