Below to share with you beware of early education misunderstandings.

Beware of Early Education Misconceptions 1

The author of the book "The Stability and Change of Human Characteristics", the famous American psychologist Bloom has been tracking and observing nearly 1,000 infants and young children until they reach adulthood, and succeeded in coming up with the observations. His basic conclusion was that "the period before the age of five is the period of rapid intellectual development in children." He said that although the direction of intellectual development varies from person to person, in conceptual terms, if the level of intelligence attained by a person at the age of 17 is set at 100 percent, he has acquired 50 percent of his intelligence in the first four years of life, 80 percent by the age of 8, and 20 percent from the age of 8 to 17. Bloom's findings are considered to be the most significant educational research in more than two decades. His assertions that "the period before the age of 5 is the fastest period of intellectual development" and that "80% of intelligence is gained before the age of 7, i.e., before the age of schooling" have become internationally recognized. It can be seen that early education is the way to improve the intelligence of young children. A proper early education can make the child's IQ increase by 30, that is, up two levels, so that the normal material to become a talent, talent to become a genius, and the weak material can also become a permanent material.

There is an ancient Chinese idiom, "hope your son will become a dragon", which shows how much Chinese parents want their children to be successful. However, the Chinese people, who are y influenced by traditional education ideas, have many misconceptions about early education, and "early intelligence and early death" is one of them. Many parents are both happy and afraid of their children's intelligence and early wisdom, and they worry that using the brain too early will affect their children's health and lead to premature death and short life. Some parents trying to carry out early education are often anxious to write to ask the child education experts, while some families are thus blocking the child's otherwise good momentum of development, intentionally let him stop, let loose to play. So how do you recognize the relationship between early education and health?

Scientific studies have shown that early learning not only does not damage the brain, but on the contrary will promote brain . Development. Physiology reveals that babies are born with the same number of brain cells as adults, and six months of the baby's brain cells in the form of continuous maturation, functional differentiation. 3 years of age after the weight of the brain has reached the human 2/3, the cerebral cortex cell function of differentiation is basically complete. At the age of 7, the structure and function of the brain have been gradually perfected. Through EEG, we can see that although the brain of young children is not yet mature, it has strong plasticity and adaptability. Therefore, there is no basis for the fear that early education will cause brain "overload" and damage to the brain and affect health. The early death of individual child prodigies is a kind of accidental event, from which no regularity can be found at all. On the contrary, there are plenty of cases where the average lifespan of a child prodigy is higher than that of the average person.

The famous German poet Goethe, there have been many articles devoted to his mother's early education and his precociousness, he lived 83 years old; from the age of zero to start the education of the most famous "child prodigy" of Germany's Karl Witte, the age of 9 years old to the University, 14 years old when the doctor, 16 years old as a professor at the University of Berlin, is the most important legal authority in Europe in the last century, and the most important thing. He was the legal authority of Europe in the last century and the authority to study Dante, and he lived to be 83 years old. China's Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, a life-long alcoholism, the late miserable, he was "five years old reciting six armor, ten years old view of the hundred," is very God Ping, he lived to 61 years old: and a lifetime of ups and downs, "seven years of thinking that is strong, open the phoenix," Dufu, also lived to the age of 59, at that time can be said to be the star of longevity. In their time can be said to be the star of longevity. China's modern from "child prodigy" to the talented, from the talented to the great scholars Guo Moruo, a life of struggle, still live to 87 years old. Some people abroad on the 400 famous life statistics, the result is: their average life expectancy of 66.7 years old; one of the inventor 89 years old; the shortest life of the poet also reached 58 years old. The Junior Class of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) can be regarded as the cradle and experimental base of China's early education. During the study period, the school carried out regular experience and serious health supervision on these "prodigies". The situation shows that they not only have high intelligence, but also various basic physical data such as height, weight, chest circumference, lung capacity, grip strength, etc. are more than junior high school children of the same age. From this we can see that the argument that early education can be detrimental to longevity and shorten life is almost absurd.

The key to the problem is not whether or not to carry out early education, but how to carry out early education. The scientific early education should be a comprehensive development, full development, multi-dimensional training, according to their own guidelines, to the interests of infants and young children's activities as the basic principles of education. Such early education is not only conducive to the intellectual development of children, but also further promotes their healthy physical development and growth. As the world's most recognized child prodigy, Wiener, summed up his own and other child prodigy's lessons: early education is like taking medicine, as parents and teachers to correctly grasp the dose of "medicine".

May our young parents abandon stereotypes, get out of the wrong zone, boldly and scientifically early education, and make their own contribution to the early improvement of the quality of China's population.

At present, family education, especially early family education, has attracted widespread attention from all sectors of society, and the unique value of early family education in the sustainable development of children has finally been recognized by society. Although we have begun to rationally wake up from many lessons, we have not yet emotionally fully accepted and transformed into educational behavior. There may be many objective factors that contribute to this situation, but the psychological misunderstandings that have developed and hidden in the practice of family education are one of the key factors.

First, the extreme expectation of the psychological cause of the education behavior

Parents of the child's growth of the expectation of the psychological once polarized, inevitably induced in the understanding of irrational thinking, ignoring the development of the child's actuality, resulting in the education of the short-term results. In order to meet the psychological expectations (and even vanity), confuse the child's psychological "can learn" (potential) and pedagogical "should learn" (ability) between the essence of the difference, blindly "choose "The first step in the process is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it.

Second, the vulgar utilitarian mentality triggered the "adult-centered" way of education

Any education has a certain utilitarian color, that is, the pursuit of educational value. This is a typical "adult-centered" approach to education. In order to "not let the child lose at the starting line", so early learning; in the spirit of "no one I have, people have I strong", so excessive learning. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.

Three, blind comparison of psychological trigger "no personalized" education

Parents familiar with classmates or children of the same age of good performance to stimulate the child's motivation, as a strategy for education, if used properly, will achieve good results. However, a considerable number of parents are inflated with the psychology of comparison, ignoring the differences in the personality of the child, choosing the evaluation standard at random, blindly comparing, and comparing in the wrong place. The result is the disappearance of the child's personality, growing into a submissive "good rabbit", or the child's personality distortion, growing into a rebellious "bad jackal".

The psychological misunderstandings in the education process mainly stem from the defects of the educational culture and the loss of educational philosophy. At present, the elimination of psychological misunderstandings in early family education must start from the construction of family education culture and the development of parent-child education.

As far as the construction of family education culture is concerned, on the one hand, the construction of community culture must be based on the family as a unit, optimize the family spiritual life environment, purify the atmosphere of family education, and alleviate the psychological pressure of family education; on the other hand, purify the education market, correct the direction of education public opinion, disseminate the scientific theory and method of education, and regard the parents' enthusiasm for education as a kind of valuable education resources and transform it into rational education behavior. The first step is to make sure that you have a good understanding of how to use the Internet and how to use the Internet to help your children.

As far as parent-child education is concerned, on the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen affectionate education, using blood and affection as a bond to enhance parents' sense of responsibility for education; on the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen parental education, and to build up parents' awareness of vocational education and vocational education ability. "Educating children is the vocation of parents", and a good sense of education and ability should be the conscious pursuit of every parent.
