In the eyes of many educators, in fact, this concept will be broader: children from birth to 6 years old are an early education stage, that is, "early education."
In addition to the dazzling array of "early education classes" on the market, parents have another choice-family early education.
So the question is, which kind of early education is better?
Family early education has irreplaceable advantages ① Children need their parents to accompany them.
For infants, the companionship of parents is very important. Doing well can build children's sense of security, self-confidence, trust in their families and desire to explore things around them.
Only through careful care and companionship can parents establish a harmonious parent-child relationship with their children, which cannot be obtained with outside help.
② Family education is very important for shaping character and conduct.
Early education classes in the market can only teach children some knowledge, or tap some skills and cultivate some abilities, but they cannot cover personality and conduct.
The shaping of character and conduct requires parents to set a good example for their children in life, which affects their physical and mental growth at any time and anywhere.
No one knows their children better than parents.
Compared with a kindergarten teacher corresponding to more than a dozen children, parents can obviously teach students in accordance with their aptitude, because no one knows their children better than parents.
What children like, what they are good at, where character strengths is, and what shortcomings need to be strengthened. Teachers in early education classes can only observe through a few classes, and the conclusions are always biased.
If parents don't know their children as well as teachers, they should reflect on whether they really care about their children's growth.
It can be seen that parents are the core strength of children's early education, and early family education has irreplaceable advantages.
Early education classes are not completely useless. Of course, Sika's younger brother thinks that early education classes are not as "useless" as many parenting articles say. The key is that parents should correctly understand the early education class and put it in a correct position in order to be effective.
The essence of early education class is "children's social platform"
For Xiao Baobao, who is one or two years old, the amount of knowledge learned in the early education class is very limited. Parents should abandon the illusion of "learning knowledge in early education classes".
In fact, the early education class is more like a social platform for children. Your baby can interact with teachers and other children, which is a completely different life experience from family life.
You can observe that children who have attended early education classes around them will be more lively.
Family early education VS early education class, which one should I choose? In early family education, parents can provide targeted education according to their children's characteristics.
You can take your children to read picture books, play games, go out to play, exercise and so on. On the one hand, fully tap the characteristics of their children, on the other hand, enhance parent-child relationship.
The best early education is this kind of family education that doesn't cost money.
Of course, not every parent has enough time to spend with their children after all.
Early education classes can also be used as a "second best" choice. At least they can play with teachers and children and study systematically, which is helpful for children's growth.
Early education classes are more suitable for families with busy parents.
As for how to choose, I believe parents also have their own choices.
