In fact, babies have considerable ability to accept and learn from birth, so it is no exaggeration to start education at the age of 0. So how should we start early education for children and develop their potential? I believe this problem has also troubled many parents. The content of this paper is that children's potential is developed from the age of 0.
Children's potential should be developed from the age of 0. What should we do to start early education and intellectual development for children? This is a problem that many parents are very concerned about. "tapping the potential of children should start from the age of 0." This is the conclusion reached by China medical experts after 10 years of clinical research. Experts pointed out: "Whether to give early education to children aged 0-3 will directly affect their intellectual development level." The research of contemporary medicine and child psychology also shows that human babies have considerable ability to accept and learn from birth, and the education of children should start from the age of 0.
From a physiological point of view, about 0%-80% of human brain cells are formed before the age of 3, and half of the intelligence level is formed before the age of 4. Bloom is a famous American child psychologist and educator. She has followed nearly a thousand babies from birth to adulthood. He came to a conclusion that caused a sensation in education: children's intelligence developed fastest before the age of 5. He said that if people reach 65,438+000% at the age of 65,438+07, they will get 50% in the first four years after birth and 80% at the age of 8. The remaining 20% was obtained from 8-65,438+07 years old. Bloom's two conclusions that "intelligence develops fastest before the age of five" and "intelligence acquired before the age of seven accounts for 80%" have aroused great interest and concern in education. 1975, American Psychological Association listed it as the most important educational research achievement in 15 years.
Children have different natures. Children with particularly developed intelligence are usually called "supernormal children". The intelligence level of these "extraordinary children" is higher than that of ordinary children. However, we should also see that even "extraordinary children" can't exert their wisdom without necessary education. Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty in China, wrote an article Shang Zhong Yong. The general idea of the article is: Fang Zhongyong of Jinxi, at the age of five, can "refer to things and write poems", showing good critical ability. However, because his father was greedy for money and profit, "people who tried to beg in the city stopped learning." As a result, Zhong Yong could not show any poems at the age of 12 or 13. As long as an ordinary child can receive a good early education, his intellectual journey and ability will greatly exceed people's expectations. Every normal child's intelligence has great potential, and the important factor of cultivating talents is the child's early education, which will be the starting point of a person's success.
Therefore, preschool period is the fastest period of human brain development, and it is also the key period of children's intellectual development. During this period, educating children will get twice the result with half the effort. The importance of early childhood education and early intellectual development is self-evident. Therefore, some scholars have put forward the law of decreasing children's potential ability. He said: "A child born with 100 degree potential ability may become an adult with 100 degree potential ability if he is educated from birth. If you receive education from the age of five, even if you receive an excellent education, you can only become an adult with 80 degrees of ability. And if you start education from the age of 0, even the best education can only reach adults with 60-degree ability. " In other words, the later education begins, the less children's abilities are realized. Please remember the advice of makarenko, an educator in the former Soviet Union: "The foundation of education is mainly fixed before the age of five, which accounts for% of the whole education process. After continuing education, people will further grow, blossom and bear fruit, and your carefully cultivated flowers will bloom before the age of 5. "
The potential of children's intellectual development is very great. In recent years, scientists at home and abroad have made the most outstanding achievements in children's psychology, that is, using scientific experiments to prove that babies have great intellectual potential. Shortly after birth, babies have considerable reaction ability and learning ability. As long as parents are good at discovering their children's intellectual dawn and giving them correct guidance and education, they can create a "miracle."
The six details of effectively developing the baby's potential can be traced back to the source of early education. We found that the original intention of "early education" was to show parents the methods and tools of early childhood education through the demonstration of professionals, thus activating family education.
Today, pre-school education institutions such as Germany are affiliated to the government's family department, not the Ministry of Education. In other words, in Germany, family education is the master of early education. The so-called early education never teaches children, but teaches parents.
The recent research results of American medical experts show that the human brain changes the fastest before 12 years old, and the thinking response is also the most agile. The brain cell activity of 2-year-old children is exactly the same as that of adults. The brain activity of children aged 3- 12 is twice that of adults; 13- 14-year-old children have the same brain activity as adults. Therefore, the period of 3- 12 years old is the most agile period of life and the best period of intellectual development. How to develop the baby's potential more effectively? In fact, we can get a glimpse from the following six details.
Babies start earlier than their peers.
Did mom and dad find that your baby learned to smile at people earlier than others, sat up earlier, got up earlier or walked earlier? When someone else's 10-month-old baby is still crawling all over the floor, can the baby walk by himself? When someone else's baby can only babble, will the baby be called "mom and dad"? Although these early manifestations of the baby do not mean that the baby will definitely become a celebrity in the future, they all show that the baby has very unusual special talents and potential to some extent.
The baby's amazing observation and memory.
When many babies of the same age haven't shown any memory, their babies actually remember the people or things they have seen, such as mom changing a new hairstyle or wearing a new dress today, which was immediately caught by the baby and expressed surprise or joy.
The baby has rich imagination and creativity.
Do one-or two-year-old babies have imagination and creativity? The answer is yes, although the baby doesn't have the ability to solve problems yet, a talented baby will make amazing performances that surprise his parents. For example, when a baby sees something on the cupboard that he can't reach, he will move to a small bench to cushion himself and then get what he wants, or when he sees his parents go upstairs and downstairs to press the elevator button, he will also look for the elevator button in the elevator room of hotels, shopping malls and hotels.
The baby is very sensitive and sensible.
Gifted children are usually more sensitive. When the father is angry or the mother is unhappy, the baby can be sensitive to this and try to comfort him, or the mother is tired of walking with her baby, and the baby will also say that she wants to go by herself.
The baby has a strong curiosity and desire to explore.
Every child has a strong curiosity, but many babies' attention is easily distracted. When adults interrupt, the baby will forget what he is insisting on, while the baby with strong curiosity and desire to explore will not. When the baby thinks clearly about one thing, he will make all efforts. For example, the baby will stick to the toy wheel that has been installed. Even if my father symbolically coaxed him to touch the wheel, it was useless. The baby will learn from his father and put the wheels back in the toy car. He will also ask his father, "Is this fake?" Even if the father wants the wheel back, the baby won't let him.
Babies have a sense of humor.
When the mother is too busy in the morning and hastily puts on two different socks for the baby, the baby will also dance with joy, which shows that the baby has a good sense of humor, because the baby notices some incongruous things around him and finds it funny and fun.
