It is very harmful for children to learn knowledge before they are 6 years old.

1. Learning knowledge in advance directly affects children's study habits and listening habits.

Because children learn in advance, when the teacher is in class, the children will think, I already know, why should I listen?

Obviously, they destroyed the habit of listening carefully in class and their study habits when they were in the first grade.

However, when children enter the second and third grades, it is more difficult to learn, because all the previous books have been eaten up.

At this time, the child suddenly felt that he could not hold it.

It is said that we should cultivate habits in the first grade, but the most important habit of attending classes has already been destroyed by us in advance.

2. Failure to conform to the law of development will destroy children's interest in learning and their desire to explore knowledge.

Psychological research shows that there are four stages of cognition.

Children before the age of 6 are in the stage of perceptual movement and pre-calculation;

From the age of 6 or 7, it entered the specific operation and formal operation stage.

Simply put, at this stage, the child's brain is not ready yet, and it is still in an "unclear" state.

They may be able to learn addition and subtraction in 20 minutes, but this is just a mechanical memory, and they can't really understand the meaning.

Why does it destroy children's interest in learning?

Let's start with two true stories:

After World War II, Germany, as a defeated country, planned to use science, technology and education to revitalize its national strength.

At that time, the national education policy was divided into two factions:

The first kind of school begins to learn the corresponding knowledge and skills when children are sensible (two or three years old);

In the second group, let the children play fully until school age (about six or seven years old).

At that time, both views had their own supporters, and the two sides argued endlessly, but they could not reach an agreement.

Finally, the government decided to implement these two educational concepts at the same time, depending on the final effect.

The results show that the children in the first school performed very well before the second and third grades of primary school, and their academic performance far exceeded that in the second school.

But since the third grade, the children in the second school are getting better and better.

By the fourth grade, I was already on an equal footing with the children in the first grade school.

It's not over yet. From junior high school to university, children in two schools generally perform well. Their interest in learning and thirst for knowledge far exceed that of the first school.

Since then, the German government has carried out the educational concept of the second school to this day.

The second story is a famous psychological experiment-gesell's twin stair climbing experiment.

Here's what they did:

The subjects were identical twins A and B born at 46 weeks.

Gesell first asked A to do 10 minutes of stair climbing training every day, but B didn't do this kind of training.

Six weeks later, it takes only 26 seconds for A to climb five flights of stairs, while it takes 45 seconds for B. ..

Starting from the seventh week, gesell trained B to climb stairs for two weeks in a row.

Then in the eighth week, whose level of climbing stairs is higher?

Most people think that A who has practiced for 8 weeks is better than B who has only practiced for 2 weeks.

However, the experimental results were unexpected-after only two weeks' practice of B, he climbed the stairs better than that of A after eight weeks' practice.

More importantly, A lost interest in climbing stairs, while B became more excited and interested.

These two cases lead to a key point:

Education should follow the law of children's physiological development, and premature learning will only destroy children's interest in learning.

What will our children do if they don't deliberately impart knowledge?

Shaping values.

Bai told a story. He said that once he took his children to a remedial class, it was already 1 1 when he got home. When he was about to get out of the elevator, Bai pressed the first floor again.

The child inexplicably asked him why he did it.

Bai told the children that most of them were back at this time, and it was convenient for people to go home early by pressing the first floor.

From then on, every time I came back late, the children scrambled to press the first floor.

Emotional intelligence training.

Gorman, the father of EQ, once said:

Emotional intelligence training can reshape the neural circuit of the brain, which can not only improve children's learning ability, but also keep children's good interpersonal level and make their psychology more healthy and cheerful.

Therefore, actively pay attention to children's negative emotions.

Understanding emotions is the basis of high EQ.

If we always ignore or suppress children, then children can't realize their emotions at all, let alone manage them.

Self-care ability.

As long as the child can do something, we will let him do it himself and then give positive feedback. Remember, patience is key! The more patient we are, the better our children will grow up!

Peer play.

Psychological research shows that children's learning before the age of six is mainly through play.

In the process of interacting with peers, their brains will get the best training, and the development level of their cerebral cortex will continue to improve with the degree of play.

Outdoor sports.

Brain science research shows that:

The brain likes two things best, one is oxygen and the other is glucose.

Oxygen is responsible for transporting garbage and glucose is responsible for providing energy.

Exercise can thicken the capillaries of the body and brain and improve the transportation efficiency of oxygen and glucose.

Therefore, moderate exercise is extremely necessary for children's brains to become better.

Generally speaking, it is much more important for children to learn the above five points before they are 6 years old than what they learn.
