A guide to early education for mentally retarded children
For children with mental retardation, we should treat them as normal people, but we should have more love when taking care of them.

Correct view of education

Ideologically, we should establish the view that mentally retarded children should be educated and can be educated; You can't think that your son is not teachable. Since he is a human being, he needs human value and dignity, and he should enjoy the right to education like children of the same age.

Set goals according to the actual situation

We should admit the gap between mentally retarded children and normal children, so we should analyze the actual situation of children, whether they are severely retarded, moderately retarded or slightly retarded, and then determine the goals according to different situations. It should be believed that after repeated training and education, there will be different degrees of improvement.

Pay attention to teaching methods

Because mentally retarded children are backward in intelligence, some things that normal children can easily learn should be taught carefully and practiced repeatedly. To this end, adults must be patient.

Small steps forward.

If you teach children to dress up, you should divide them into many small actions and links, teach them bit by bit, learn slowly, and ask patiently and carefully.

Repeat.

Repetition can enhance and consolidate memory. To teach them to learn to know a word, they must be psychologically prepared to learn it dozens or even hundreds of times, and repeated appearances and exercises will be effective.

Family members teach together.

Family members should teach their children well with confidence, sometimes one-on-one, sometimes mothers can teach alone, and fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers work together as students, so that children can study with confidence.

Teaching in combination with real life

It is easy to learn to combine teaching with real life, and don't overemphasize literacy and calculation.

Love that doesn't spoil.

Love for young children should be painful in strict and patient education. In education, we should use some vivid and colorful teaching AIDS to stimulate their various sensory organs through multiple channels, which will leave a deeper impression. In education, we should also pay attention to eliminating some external interference, such as taking away things that are easy to distract him. Don't spend too much time teaching every time.
