What is the knowledge of early education? Family is the cradle of children's growth and the organizational cell of society. As the first stop in the process of children's growth, family has an important influence on children's outlook on life and values. At the same time, the education of 0-3-year-old infants, as the initial stage of the whole education, also plays an important role in the whole life course. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "three-year-old children take care of their elders, and seven-year-old children take care of their elders". Many foreign scholars have clearly emphasized the importance of education at this stage, just as Montessori, a famous Italian educator, said: "The first three years of life are better than all stages of future development, which is the sum of three years until death." Therefore, it has become parents' unshirkable obligation and responsibility to give children a sound and rational early family education at the age of 0-3.

In fact, early childhood education in the family is more related to the emotional blending and interaction between parents and children. Parents' words and deeds, every move, and treating others have a subtle influence on children. Therefore, the intimacy of this educational relationship and the permeability of education determine the far-reaching influence of early education on infants. Therefore, in the early education of children aged 0-3, parents should not only form a scientific concept of early education, but also pay attention to the cultivation of children's behavior habits in the education process, so as to play a harmonious movement of early family education for infants and explore their potential.

Early education knowledge

1. Parents should form a scientific concept of early education.

(1) Kneel down and talk to the child.

Family is the earliest environment for children to grow up, and parents are the children's first enlightenment teachers. Their educational behavior plays a vital role in children's future growth. "Squatting down and talking to children" actually requires parents to respect their children, their interests, their curiosity and their rights in an appropriate position. "In fact, even the youngest children have their own needs. Adults' wishful thinking often backfires. " Therefore, parents should fully understand and fully implement this point in the process of educating their children. For example, when children are eighteen or nineteen months old, they like to hold sticks like chopsticks. Parents who are worried about their baby's injury will always scold their children. In fact, children's behavior is only their exploratory and creative performance. Parents should stand in the perspective of children's heads-up, give their children enough free space and let them do what they like.

(2) Interact with children through games.

In a sense, preschool education is actually a kind of game education. Infants and young children develop their minds, improve their abilities and increase their knowledge in games. As parents, we should play with our children, in nature, in the room, in books, in conversations, wherever we can find happiness factors. So, how should parents interact with their children by playing games? First, children play with great blindness and randomness. In daily life, we sometimes can't see the educational content contained in seemingly casual play. If adults can intentionally guide and let children concentrate on observation and learn to think, it will be conducive to the cultivation of thinking ability. Second, children's interests are not long-term, unstable, and easy to transfer, which is determined by children's short attention retention time. It is easy for children to lose interest in things that they focus on for a long time. Then, if parents can improvise at this time and let the game appear in another way, the spark of children's interest will be rekindled.

Parents should pay attention to the development of children's behaviors and habits.

(1) Cultivation of observation and cognitive ability.

Children are interested in everything and want to touch it. This is the bud for children to observe the world and actively explore, and it is also the way for them to gain life experience. Therefore, parents should try their best to satisfy their children's desire to move freely without danger. When children can walk independently, parents can take them outdoors and let them see, listen and touch to gain experience. In addition, while letting children touch things and observe phenomena, we should pay attention to guiding their senses to establish contact with these things, so that their cognitive ability can be exercised and improved.

(2) the cultivation of attention.

The development of children's attention is the basis of their good habits and future self-confidence. First of all, good attention helps children understand things and cultivate willpower. In addition, if the child pays attention, he can complete one thing completely, and completing one thing completely will enhance his self-confidence. But at this stage, children's attention is involuntary, and parents should cultivate their attention through observation or operation. For example, after a child observes a thing, ask him some simple questions for him to remember; Or when telling a story to a child, remind him to listen carefully first, and then ask questions after finishing, so as to cultivate the child's attention.
