The importance of early childhood education

The importance of early childhood education

The core of early education is to provide an educational and nutritious environment to activate the child's brain development and personality growth, thereby providing a better future for the child. lay a solid foundation for its development. The following is my selection of the importance of early childhood education, welcome to refer to it!

1. The importance of early childhood education

Dear parents:

Everyone OK! First of all, I welcome all parents to take time out of their busy schedules to participate in the "0-3-year-old early education" series of activities co-organized by the Hua'an County Family Planning Bureau and Hua'an Second Kindergarten. In the future, we will study together. Let’s discuss with you and your child the development characteristics, psychological development rules, health care, educational points, scientific feeding, parent-child games and hot issues of early education infants and young children aged 0-3 years old. We hope that through such beneficial early education activities, we can help You get rid of the misunderstandings of tutoring, establish scientific early childhood education concepts, and master timely, moderate, accurate, balanced, and comprehensive parenting methods and content, which will bring you practical and effective help and accompany your baby and parents to grow together!

Let me tell you a well-known story first: A mother of a 2 and a half year old child went to Darwin with her child in her arms and asked him about parenting. Darwin regretfully told the mother: "It's a pity that you are already too late." It’s been 2 and a half years. ?As all the foundations of a social person are laid, the efficiency is highest in infancy and early childhood. No wonder Montessori, the famous Italian educator, said: "The first three years of life are better than all subsequent stages of development, and better than the sum of three years until death." The Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly held in 2002 established three main goals, two of which are: "Every child, without exception, deserves the best start in life" and "Every child should have the opportunity to fully explore his or her potential" ?. Carol Bellamy, Executive Director of UNICEF, believes that any government and individual should give early childhood the highest priority. The golden period of learning is before the age of 3, and it is best to start education from the newborn period. As the saying goes, the effect of early education starting from the age of zero and the newborn period has been confirmed through various experimental research results.

As the saying goes: When you are three years old, you are older, and when you are seven, you are older. ?In families, parents generally will never hand over their children who are about to enter middle school or college to a bad teacher, and even spend a lot of money to go to a good school. However, before the age of 3, they give their children to a nanny who does not understand the language or is even ignorant, or to grandparents who have strong traditional concepts. Due to the limitations of the elderly's cultural level and doting mentality, they can only make the children uncomfortable at home. Don't touch it. Young parents are busy with work during the day and don't spend much time with their children. After get off work, because they are physically tired, they just talk to their children about making noises. Not long after, it's time for their children to sleep. They are all with their own family members. This kind of environment can easily make children develop a withdrawn personality, fear of meeting strangers, selfishness, lack of cooperation and interaction with babies of the same age, and do not give their own toys to children to play with. What is even more regrettable is that It makes the baby lose a good opportunity and throws away the most precious time in the child's life to develop his potential. However, this period is the period when they are easiest to grasp. This period cannot be affected by school education and social education. Fleeting, gone forever.

Today in the 21st century, the forefront of talent competition is not in universities, primary and secondary schools, or even kindergartens, but before the age of 3, in the cradle of babies, hoping that young fathers and mothers Start from yourself, help your baby develop early education from the age of 0, and let your baby win at the first starting line.

Today I will mainly talk to parents about the problem of disobedient children. My own children have also had this experience, and I understand how parents feel now. I often encounter many parents complaining to me: My child is very disobedient. He won’t do anything you ask him to do. Very stubborn, especially disobedient. He is very active. He seems to be interested in everything and wants to touch everything. Try it. You told him that it is dangerous if the power socket cannot be moved, but he insists on touching it. He is not afraid of anything. What do you think we should do to educate him? he.

? One time when I was shopping, I met a mother taking her baby to buy clothes. The mother was attracted by a beautiful suit and asked her baby to try it, but the baby refused to try it. Instead, she held the bag on the other side of the suit. The mother would not let go of a pair of travel shoes, and the mother could not take them away. In the end, the child burst into tears and failed to buy any clothes. The mother walked angrily and said: "I have never seen such a disobedient child like you. You don't want such beautiful clothes, but you insist on a pair of shoes, and you are so shameless." ?

You can discuss the two cases I mentioned. How to solve this problem if you encounter it?

As parents, how should we deal with such a thing? Right? Should you yell loudly, or should you calm down and reason? So has your approach worked? Today we will discuss this issue together.

The case just now brings us a question worth thinking about. Why are our children not well-behaved and disobedient?

1. To find the root of the problem, we must First understand the age characteristics of 3-year-old children.

1. From the improvement of physical activity ability. The development of large muscles of 3-year-old children is faster, their body movements are also more coordinated, and most of them like to run and jump. (For example: wherever it is difficult to walk, roads, places with water, uneven places, etc.) Three-year-old children have strong physical activity ability and can do many things in daily life by themselves. Therefore, they are eager to expand the scope of independent activities and constantly try to complete new things independently. Even if you can't finish it, try it, no matter what the result is. But these requests are often blocked and restricted by parents. Why stop them? In the eyes of adults, there is no result at all. For example, if a child builds a building block house and he puts two balls underneath to make pillars, the adults clearly know that he is doing this. As a result, you will tell him that this is not okay. Will your child buy your fault? Therefore, there will be resistance.

2. Originates from the development of children’s self-awareness. Children at this period are in a sensitive period of autonomy. It turns out that children cannot distinguish between their own wishes and the wishes of others. Now, they have a clear idea of ??what things are for me to do and what things I want to do. Therefore, they want to show their will tenaciously. However, this kind of performance often conflicts with the requirements of adults, so the child will feel frustrated, leading to rebellious behavior.

3. Derived from the development of emotions and thinking. Because three-year-old children are immature in many aspects. The ability to control emotions is still very weak. Once they feel dissatisfied, they will express it in straightforward ways such as yelling and crying. Therefore, they are often considered by adults to be deliberately disobedient. The level of thinking development of three-year-old children is not high yet. Their thinking lacks flexibility, so they often appear to be stubborn. Their concept of time is not strong yet, so even if they are told to wait only for one minute, they cannot bear it. Whatever they want to do must be done immediately. These can lead to rebellious behavior in children.

Therefore, only by truly grasping, facing up to, and understanding the developmental characteristics of young children at this period can parents understand our children, enter their hearts, and listen to their voices.

2. Analyze the reasons why children are disobedient on the part of parents.

1. Parents pamper their children too much. Whatever the children want, the parents will satisfy them. It can be said that they are completely obedient. This can easily encourage children to be willful. Once the child's request is not met, he will cry and fuss until the goal is achieved. As a parent, first of all, you cannot blindly meet your children's requirements. You must distinguish between right and wrong. Reasonable requirements can be met; unreasonable requirements cannot be agreed. Once a child cries, be sure not to hit or scold him, but patiently reason with him, preferably with a short story that is both vivid and educational.

2. Parents’ words and deeds are inconsistent. Some parents believe that children can only be restrained, without trust and respect, otherwise they will disobey discipline. Therefore, parents usually do not pay attention to their children's complaints and requests, and even scold their children regardless of the occasion, which dampens their children's self-confidence and self-esteem and makes them fearful of their parents. Some parents think that their children are easy to coax and deceive, and they often make promises without thinking, but the results are not fulfilled, causing harm to the children's hearts and distrust of their parents. Over time, children will lose trust and respect for their parents, and they will naturally not take their parents' words to heart, and their rebellious psychology will become more serious.

For example: In order to let the children get up on time and develop good habits in the morning, parents agreed with their children to get up at seven o'clock every day. However, every time the children went to kindergarten during the break, the children would be late for kindergarten. Over time, the children lost faith in their parents' words. trust.

3. Scare children in various ways. Some parents use scary things to scare their children when they disobey or fail to meet their own requirements. (For example, if the big bad wolf bites you, your parents don’t want you) When educating children, parents should not be too demanding. They hope that their children will become "dragons" and their daughters will become "phoenixes". It’s a pity for parents in the world, but some parents don’t consider their children. According to the actual situation, if some excessive and strict requirements are placed on children, which are beyond the child's ability to bear, the child will lose confidence and even become bored. Over time, the child will become suspicious, timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Create a rebellious mentality.

4. The adults’ words are right, but the children misunderstand them and do not obey them. When parents give instructions to their children, if the children think that the adult's instructions are incorrect, or not necessarily correct, or unclear, they will not implement them, and this will lead to children being disobedient. For example: Winter is here, and all the children are wearing warm clothes, but Wen Wen from the first grade class insists on wearing a skirt. Her mother said: "It's very cold outside today. If you wear a skirt, you will catch a cold. If you catch a cold, you will need fever and injections." Throughout the morning, mother and daughter came to the kindergarten very late to get dressed. Mother did not persuade Wen Wen, so she finally came to the kindergarten wearing a gauze skirt and a down jacket.

Indeed, adults’ words and deeds affect our children all the time. When children are disobedient, adults should start from the child’s perspective and put themselves in their shoes: Why do children want to confront themselves? You? Does the child have to listen? If you really need the child to listen, you should choose a way of expression that the child is willing to accept, because many times the child's views have their own truth.

3. Face up to your children’s disobedience.

The famous German psychologist Hecha once conducted the following experiment: He conducted long-term experiments on 100 children who had a strong tendency to resist when they were 2 to 5 years old, and 100 children who did not have such a tendency. investigation. The results found that among children with strong resistance, 84% had decisive judgment and strong willpower when they grew up, while among children with less resistance, only 84% of them could truly be said to have willpower and judgment. Only 24%. Every parent likes his or her children to be obedient, but this is not based on the child's own development needs, but mostly to protect their own face. But when you are proud of your child's obedience, don't forget that it is possible Stifling the formation of children's willpower and judgment.

Sometimes when children are disobedient, the following situations may occur:

1. When children focus on their own things, they “listen but don’t listen”. Some children are very willful. What they want to do must be done, otherwise it will not work. After finishing, they can do other things according to their parents' requirements. Regarding this, as a parent, you cannot stop it rudely, but you can give a certain amount of time as a buffer.

2. When parents always speak to their children in an angry, high-pitched voice, over time, the children will become accustomed to adults’ shouting. In the future, if adults do not raise their voices or shout repeatedly, the children will Even if they can't hear, and once a child gets used to high-pitched and rough voices, he will gradually adopt a "disobedient" attitude towards gentle and civilized education methods.

3. When children are disobedient, parents often use punishment to control their children. This seems to be the most accustomed thing when raising children, but once this habit is developed, it will be difficult to use this method for a long time. This method can cause tension in the parent-child relationship between parents and children.

When faced with children’s disobedience, the most important thing is to regard this age characteristic as a normal phenomenon. Because we know that children will always grow up. In the face of children's "disobedience", we need to be more understanding. As long as parents have enough understanding, children are often more likely to accept their parents' guidance and are less likely to be disobedient.

4. Several common ways to deal with disobedient children

1. Cold treatment.

When a child loses his temper or rolls around and cries because his requirements are not met, parents should not pay attention to him, do not show distress, pity or compromise in front of the child, let alone bargain with him. You can avoid him and leave him temporarily.

When no one cares, the child will feel bored and give in. For example, if a child is clamoring to buy toys or even rolling on the floor, parents can use the method of not persuading, explaining, or arguing to make the child feel that the parents do not care about these behaviors. When the child has had enough trouble and gets up from the ground, parents can say: "We know you are unhappy, but you don't make trouble now. You are such a good child." ?And express happiness, satisfaction and concern, reason with him, and analyze whether his behavior just now was right. This "cold treatment" method is often more effective.

2. Divert attention.

This method is very effective for this age group. Parents can take advantage of children's psychological characteristics of being easily distracted and easily attracted to new things to divert the child's attention from the things he insists on to other novel and interesting items or things.

Case: I remember when my child was a child, one day it got very late and it was time to go to bed, but Haohao was not sleepy at all. No matter how we tried to reason with him, he would not listen.

?No, I still want to play. ?Haohao kept shouting.

It was too late, so we had to force her to wash her face and feet and go to bed. But after going to bed, her resistance became even stronger, her face was full of tears, and she didn't cover herself with a quilt. It seems that coercion will not work.

So, I had an idea and said: Haohao, let’s play a game, shall we?

When Haohao heard that his mother did not criticize him, but instead said to play the game, he stopped immediately. I stopped crying and said: "How to play!?"

I grabbed Haohao's little police hat on the table and put it on my head: "Mom will be a policeman, the doll will be my sister, and you will be my brother, okay?" Okay?

Haohao looked at me curiously. At this time, the policeman said in a serious tone: I heard that you have a little baby with bare feet, right?

The doll’s sister said: No, my brother is a good boy. Baby, its feet won't be left outside. ?

At this time, the elder brother Haohao was suddenly drawn into the game, and with the positive suggestion of his "sister", he immediately put his little feet into the bed and covered himself with the quilt obediently. , and said: "Police Auntie, are you mistaken!?"

I smiled secretly in my heart, and pretended to be annoyed and said: "Hey, there are no bad children here, Hao Hao was obviously asleep, and some kid lied about the military situation and asked me to find him. ?

So, the policeman patted the brother on the head and staggered away.

This game made Haohao laugh so hard that he forgot all his unhappiness and fell asleep quickly. Early the next morning, Haohao talked about last night's game again and couldn't help laughing. So, I struck while the iron was hot and told him why he was wrong. In a very pleasant atmosphere, Haohao readily admitted his mistake. .

The best education is to communicate after diverting attention. In family education, a good parent-child communication relationship should be established to allow two-way communication of family affection, and family education will be more smooth. In addition, we must learn to psychologically change our perspective, put ourselves in the child's position, role, and situation to think, understand, and deal with problems, and deeply understand the child's potential behavioral motivations, so that the relationship between parents and children will be more harmonious.

3. Prompt first.

After mastering the rules of children’s disobedience, use the method of making three chapters in advance to prevent the onset of disobedience. If a child always cries and asks his parents to hold him when he goes out on the street, you can make an agreement with the child before going out: "You don't want your mother to hold you when you go out on the street today. You can walk by yourself. If you are really tired, you can rest for a while before walking, otherwise you will not take him with you anymore." You're out. ?

4. The method of stimulating generals.

Use children’s competitiveness to inspire their self-confidence to overcome their own disobedience.

5. Appropriate punishment.

For young children, positive education alone is not enough. Appropriate punishment is also an extremely effective educational method. If a child doesn't eat well, parents don't have to worry too much and just take away all the food after meal time. When he gets hungry and wants something to eat, he can educate him in a timely manner and tell him that this is the result of not eating well. You don’t have to worry about starving your child. Skipping one or two meals will not affect your child’s growth and development.

6. Unified education for parents.

When parents educate their children, their views should be consistent. Especially when children are willful, parents should have unified requirements. If one is strict and the other is pampering, the child's disobedience will only get worse and it will be difficult to correct.

7. Let the children choose.

Let the child make his own decision among multiple options, because it is his own choice and he will be embarrassed to lose his temper. If you dare to think, speak, and do when buying toys, you will be creative. We parents should accept the view that being obedient is an advantage and being too obedient is a disadvantage, and we should educate our children in such a way that we should be “in charge but not dead” and live without chaos.

Years of experience have proven that naughty children are often more creative than honest children. The reason is that naughty children have a wide range of contacts, and their brains are stimulated more, which activates their intelligence. Therefore, giving children a little "disobedient" space is good for improving children's creativity.

Creation requires a certain amount of time and space. If children are tied up tightly and have no free time at all, how can they create? Parents should give their children more time and space to be naughty and give them the opportunity to be naughty. Let them imagine, move and create freely.

Today we are here to discuss educational countermeasures for common problems of 3-year-old children. I believe that through discussions and exchanges, the parents here will have a deeper understanding of educating their children. I also hope that you will bring your Introduce the harvest to the parents and friends around you, so that more babies can grow up in happiness, and more parents can avoid detours in the process of educating their children.

▲As a person engaged in early childhood education, I would like to remind all parents of the following points:

1. Every parent has the instinct to raise and educate their children. ?Ability, have confidence in yourself. As long as you love your children, have a sense of responsibility, and rely on your instinct to take care of them, education is actually part of it. For example, when you change your child's diaper and talk to him as a conversation partner, you are helping him build an attachment to his parents, establishing an emotion that is crucial to his future development. and interpersonal relationships, while also developing his language; when you play a hide-and-seek game with your child, he hides from you and catches, and then you hide from him and catch. This kind of parent-child game not only allows you both to enjoy family happiness, Also let your children learn a more complex way of thinking: Two-way thinking: From the perspective of the catcher, speculate that the person hiding may think that the hiding place is difficult to find; from the perspective of the hider, estimate that the person hiding People may not go anywhere to catch it.

2. It is not enough to just rely on instinctive abilities to raise and educate children. You must learn scientific parenting knowledge. At least don’t make the mistake of selling eggs for malted milk or instant noodles to increase nutrition for your children. Use various drinks. Instead of boiled water? Wait? Expensive is good? This is a nutritional mistake.

3. Scientific parenting knowledge and skills are important, but the concept and mentality of scientific parenting are more important. Parents should be more open-minded, take a longer-term view, relax their minds, don't be nervous, don't be anxious, and don't compare and demand their children with the little geniuses and prodigies portrayed in the media. Children's development has certain common laws, but every child is different. As long as you have the right ideas and a good mentality, I believe everyone will enjoy the joy of raising children and create a good environment for the healthy growth of children! (Finally, what I want to say is: where your heart is, you will Here is the harvest! 2. The importance of early childhood education

Children attending early childhood education classes are good for their physical and mental health. Mothers cannot ignore the role of early childhood education classes. Please read this article to learn about early childhood education classes. Here are 5 irreplaceable benefits. If you want your children to be smart, early education is essential.

Although the term early education is no longer unfamiliar to young parents, many parents still don’t know about early childhood education. What are the benefits to babies? Practice is the best proof. The feelings of older mothers should be the most convincing. Let’s take a look at the experiences of these mothers.

Whether early childhood education classes are useful or not is no longer a question worthy of debate. In fact, what are the benefits of early childhood education classes for babies? Listen to what experienced mothers have to say.

Although the term early education is no longer unfamiliar to young parents, many parents still do not know the benefits of early education classes for their babies. Practice is the best proof, and the feelings of older mothers should be said to be the most convincing. So let’s take a look at the experiences of these mothers.

1. The content of the course can be used as education guidance

Beibei’s mother: I have not been exposed to early childhood education classes, so I thought that learning Chinese characters and reciting Tang poems was early childhood education. After taking the class, I realized that early education content is actually very rich. Involving social interaction, fine motor, gross motor, educational games, parent-child games, music appreciation, etc. Especially puzzle games, some of which you can’t think of at home. Even if you check some games online, they are either too easy or too difficult for babies and feel unsystematic. For parents, there is "work guidance" after the class. The class is only a short one hour, and they still have to rely on their parents to review at home. After taking the class, the purpose is very clear about what babies of different ages should know and learn. Yexi: As a parent, I also want to learn some advanced parenting concepts. Conceptually, I agree with early childhood education, but the method of early childhood education is still vague. Going to early childhood education classes can provide some inspiration and learn from their experiences and methods.

Xiao Xian’s mother: She usually has to go to work, so she doesn’t have much time to play with her baby, and she doesn’t know how to play with her. You can learn how to play with her by attending early education classes.

zabb: The early intellectual development of infants and young children is very important, but as parents it is impossible to fully grasp this knowledge. Even though you can learn this knowledge through various channels such as magazines and the Internet, it is fragmented knowledge after all, so professional early childhood education institutions are more suitable. The most important thing is not how much the baby learns in the classroom, but that after returning home, parents know how to educate and cultivate the baby.

Great Sage: The experts in the early childhood education class have helped us improve our baby's feeding, physical development, mental health and other aspects.

zabb: Parents can learn how to play games with their babies better by participating in parent-child courses at the same time, and enhance the emotions of the family of three during the games.

2. It can lay the foundation for entering kindergarten

Qie Tingfeng Yin 2001: Ruochen adapted to the environment very well on the first day she went to kindergarten. I think the early childhood education class deserves a lot of credit. No, because babies in early education classes are used to getting along with unfamiliar adults and babies of the same age. Ruochen’s socializing personality is inseparable from the related experiences at that time.

Babyrain: My idea is very simple, just to prepare for kindergarten happily, let her experience collective life, and have more contact with other children, so as to avoid being uncomfortable in kindergarten later. By attending early education classes, I learned some rules, such as sitting properly in class, how to introduce myself, where to take toys from and where to put them back, etc.

zabb: Children under the age of three have low immunity and are most susceptible to illness. Therefore, it is best not to go to nursery school, kindergarten or other schools before the age of three. But you can choose to attend early childhood education, and slowly learn to adapt to the school's living environment and living habits in the early childhood education school.

Zzt: Although some things in early education classes can be taught at home and are very simple, what the baby needs is an environment and atmosphere, and she also needs friends.

3. Motivate the baby to work hard

lulu7588: Contact with children of the same age will stimulate the baby's deficiencies. I remember that when my baby was learning to walk, she attended an early music education class. She didn’t dare to walk at first for fear of falling, but when she saw many children of the same age who could walk, she really wanted to walk a few steps like them. Since that class, The baby will walk as soon as he comes home, which is a qualitative leap.

4. Make the baby happier

babyrain: Montessori class advocates that children do things by themselves, such as letting them make steamed buns, glutinous rice balls, and cracking eggs. The most important thing is to let them They tasted the fruits of their own labor, which was exactly what Happy wanted. She also learned a lot at the early childhood education center, so she was very happy to go.

Baby-hanlin: There are many kinds of games in the early education class. Babies like to play. As long as they are in a good mood, they will be less likely to get sick. Naturally, the mother will be very happy.

Zzt: There is a sensory integration game in our early childhood education class. This cannot be taught at home because there are not so many brightly colored teaching aids to attract babies. This game can cultivate comprehensive ability, cooperation ability, and most importantly Yes, my baby is having fun. If your financial ability permits, you should attend.

Yexi: In the early education class, playing games and toys with other children is very exciting. Lala was in a high mood, with her mouth wide open, and sometimes she was so happy that she giggled. There is no preaching, and the baby grows slowly while playing games and toys. The relationship between Lala and her mother has also become closer. When I got home, I often used the games and songs I sang in class, and the little one never tired of it.

5. The baby’s personality and abilities have improved

babyrain: During these times in the early education center, she is willing to take the initiative to say hello to others, and she no longer has to ask her mother to get something. Tell the teacher that you will make requests to the teacher yourself.

liwang3339171: The baby can sing and speak. He can sing songs with just his mouth open, and he can sing several songs in a row without repeating them. I also feel that the baby’s language expression ability and thinking ability are obviously better than those of children of the same age.

Fujingkun: The baby’s language has really improved by leaps and bounds. After the first class, the baby came home and walked around and read like numbers: Grandpa, grandma, grandma, grandpa, dad, mom, uncle. , aunt, elder brother, elder sister, younger brother, younger sister not only learned to pronounce these titles, but also completely understood them. After returning from early childhood education for the second time, when I walked downstairs and saw people in the same community, I no longer evaded them, but called them sweetly. Non-stop? Hello uncle! Hello aunt!? In addition, it also allows the baby to gradually know how to express his preferences with language and body.

Ripple cy: After the baby attended the early childhood education class, he became bolder and could take the initiative to communicate with the teacher and other children. His play ability also improved, and his language ability, gross movements, and fine movements were also improved. developed to varying degrees.

Expert advice: 0-3 years old need to receive good basic education

? Every child should have the best start in life; every child should receive good basic education ;Every child should have the opportunity to fully explore his or her potential and grow into a useful person to society. ?

To better carry out early education, parents must first have certain scientific parenting abilities and learn certain early education knowledge. Because of its professional advantages, early education classes can indeed provide courses suitable for the age and development of babies, and can be used as a supplementary means for parents to learn early education knowledge. Parents can learn to extend the content and methods of early education classes to their homes. For those parents who don’t know how to interact with their babies and how to educate them, participating in early childhood education classes can provide them with some inspiration and guidance. However, it is important to point out that the family is the main camp for early education, and parents are the best and most important teachers for their babies' early education, and early childhood education classes can only be used as an auxiliary means. Parents should integrate early education into the baby's daily life activities, encourage, induce and help the baby to devote themselves to self-activity to gain practical knowledge and experience, and integrate early education into life.

Early education cannot simply be equated with intellectual development, nor is early education an advance of traditional education. No matter what kind of education, it must be based on appropriate physiological maturity before timely training can be carried out. This is a basic scientific law. The content of early childhood education is actually very extensive. The cultivation of good character and habits, healthy emotions and creativity, etc. are actually important contents of early childhood education. Early childhood education is a comprehensive education. Some experts also proposed that the development of baby's personality should be the primary task of early childhood education, giving priority to cultivating the six major personalities of babies: happy and lively, quiet and focused, brave and confident, hard-working and kind, independent and creative, because good character is the mother of future success. . ;
