Kindergarten teaches children to recite the 24 solar terms, but children can't learn them. Is it necessary to learn this?

Seeing that kindergarten is about to start school again, many parents will be entangled in the question of whether their children should go to kindergarten.

Although as early as last year, the Ministry of Education issued a notice prohibiting kindergartens from teaching primary school content in advance.

But the debate about whether children should start learning as soon as possible has never stopped.

Many parents are worried: "Children don't learn anything in kindergarten, will they fall behind in primary school?"

The sooner children learn, the better.

Will it be better for children who start learning at an early age? I don't know.

In Germany in the 1970s, there was a study on early learning.

The researchers put these children in three kinds of kindergartens: pure play, half study and half play, pure study and different education.

In addition, the researchers conduct home visits to these children every two weeks, and the content of home visits is consistent with the education that children receive in kindergartens.

For pure learning kindergartens, home visits emphasize the importance of academic performance; For pure game kindergartens, home visits emphasize the benefits of games to children.

The researchers found that although at the beginning, those children who only study in kindergartens appear smarter and have better academic performance;

However, after the fourth grade of primary school, this situation changed, and the children of the other two kindergartens began to catch up.

After children in pure learning kindergartens grow up to 15 years old, not only the advantages in academic performance disappear completely, but also more deficiencies in interpersonal communication and emotional characteristics.

When the children are older, this gap will become more obvious.

After the age of 23, compared with the other two groups, children in pure kindergarten are more likely to have psychological obstacles, conflict with others and commit crimes.

Therefore, in the long run, those children who start to learn but don't play in kindergartens are not better, but have many problems in social communication and interpersonal communication.

And those children who simply play in kindergarten will learn, live and socialize better when they grow up.

Why is playing so different from seniors?

Some parents may ask, why are these two early education methods so different?

We can interpret this problem from two angles.

1. Differences in behavior patterns

In a pure game kindergarten, children's activities are not interfered by teachers, who only guide, not lead, so children have certain autonomy.

Children who play big like this, like to play games with others, can actively participate in social activities and learn to plan their own activities in class.

Children who grow up in this way are kind, willing to communicate and have a certain sense of responsibility. This model can make them adapt to primary school and later life.

In pure learning kindergarten, teachers play a leading role, and teachers' orders are authority. As long as children are under the guidance of teachers, they will read, recite and copy calculations like machinery, and only pursue a good result.

Children who study in this way are achievement-oriented. In order to pursue these, they will only care about their own interests and will not get along with others.

2. Differences in parenting styles

In the experiment of German kindergartens, the role of home visits can not be ignored, and it plays a guiding role.

In the home visits of children who just play kindergarten, teachers will praise the children's opinions, and parents will be affected, which will strengthen the children's ability in this respect.

In the home visits of children in pure learning kindergartens, teachers will emphasize academic achievements, parents will pay more attention to personal achievements, and the children raised are more likely to be self-centered.

These two different parenting styles will also produce great differences in the process of children's growth.

What if the kindergarten doesn't study and the children fall behind?

Many parents have such anxiety. Other children are reading, but their own children are not reading. Didn't he just lose at the starting line?

But parents should also know that life is not a 100-meter race. There is no need to try to buy some time at the starting line.

Life should be a marathon. In the long journey, whoever can persist in moving forward will win the final key. Those who are in the lead from the beginning may not make it to the end.

Just like the children in the above experiment, although early learning can bring certain advantages, with the growth of age, the academic advantages will soon disappear, but the social disadvantages of personality have always existed.

In China, the so-called "third grade phenomenon" has also caused discussion and reflection among parents:

Those children who learn textbook knowledge in advance in kindergarten and get high marks when they enter primary school generally decline after the third grade. And those children who have a good time in kindergarten and develop well in all aspects can often catch up with their studies in the third grade.

According to the teacher's feedback, children who study in advance will always have problems of inattention and distraction in class because they have read all the knowledge, and their study habits are very bad.

When the difficulty of knowledge increases, if children don't think deeply and can't learn, their grades will drop, and because of bad study habits, their grades will get worse and worse, and even make children feel tired of learning.

Whether a child is excellent or not depends not only on his academic performance, but also on his ability to communicate with others. He should be able to adapt to this society.

Therefore, after primary school, children do not need to study in advance. What parents should do is to help their children establish good habits, regular work and rest, and self-care ability.

Give your child a free and happy childhood, and believe that his future will not be bad!
