In order to give birth to a healthy and intelligent baby, many mothers pay great attention to prenatal education during pregnancy, but many mothers do not really understand prenatal education, but blindly follow the trend. Kiss the baby and I will teach you a comprehensive understanding of prenatal education today. For expectant mothers, you must know eight questions about prenatal education.
1. What is prenatal education?
Prenatal education is a variety of health care measures to promote the physical and mental health and development of the fetus and ensure the safety of pregnant women. At the same time, using certain methods and means, the mother sends a benign signal to the fetal sensory organs, which is conducive to the beneficial activities of fetal brain and nervous system function as soon as possible. Lay a good foundation for early education after the baby is born. Prenatal education is divided into broad prenatal education and narrow prenatal education.
In a broad sense, prenatal education refers to the mental, diet, environment, rest and other health care measures taken to promote the healthy development and growth of the fetus, and at the same time ensure that pregnant women can successfully survive pregnancy and childbirth.
In a narrow sense, prenatal education is based on the actual situation of the development of fetal sensory organs, giving appropriate and reasonable * * * to make the fetus establish conditioned reflex and promote the development of its brain function, body motor function, sensory function and nervous system function. Generally speaking, prenatal education in a narrow sense refers to promoting the development of various sensory functions of the fetus through music, dialogue, patting and touching during pregnancy.
2. Can prenatal education really work?
Modern medical technology has confirmed that with the gradual increase of pregnancy age, the fetus grows in the mother's womb and various sensory organs mature one after another. Babies have their own joys and sorrows, and feel the world outside the uterus carefully. The fetus who is pregnant for 5 months can already receive education. But the education mentioned here is different from the education after birth, mainly the training of fetal sensory function, that is, the feeling of skin; The sense of smell of the nose; Hearing of the ear; Eye vision; The taste of the tongue and the sense of movement of the body. According to neurophysiology, every time a fetus increases a kind of ability, the connection between its nerves will increase. The purpose of prenatal education is not to teach the fetus to sing, read and do arithmetic, but to promote the development and maturity of various sensory functions of the fetus through various appropriate and reasonable information, and lay a good foundation for early education after birth, that is, sensory learning. From this perspective, early prenatal education is to prepare for prenatal education in the late pregnancy, and prenatal education during pregnancy is to prepare for early education after birth. Prenatal education is advocated not because it can cultivate prodigies, but because it can explore the individual's quality potential as soon as possible and give full play to the inherent genetic quality of each fetus. If prenatal education is well combined with early education after birth, people's intelligence will be better and there will be more children, reaching the level of the so-called "child prodigy" at present.
3. When is the best time to start prenatal education?
The period of prenatal education in a broad sense is pre-pregnancy preparation, so choose the right time and place to ensure physical and mental health and excellent eggs; Be happy in the early stage of pregnancy, and avoid the damage to the fetus caused by X-rays, isotopes, pesticides, virus infections, unintentional use of harmful drugs and other factors. The narrow sense of prenatal education can start from 5 months after pregnancy. At this time, the inner ear of the fetus is basically developed, and with hearing, it can begin to accept language and music prenatal education. Touch prenatal education usually starts from 6 months after pregnancy, because at this time, expectant mothers can touch the child's limbs more clearly. Seven months after pregnancy, the fetal brain begins to develop by leaps and bounds, which is the final sprint of prenatal education.
The secret of successful prenatal education is to firmly believe in the ability of the fetus and "love and patience" for the fetus. The content of prenatal education is centered on one purpose, that is, to input benign information, to ensure a good internal and external environment for the fetus to survive, and to let the fetus grow up healthily without knowing it. All the contents of prenatal education should be carried out when the fetus is awake, while cramming and encouraging teaching will be counterproductive.
4. Do you need prenatal education every day? How long does it last once?
To have a good prenatal education effect, it is best to persevere and practice every day. Everyone knows this truth, but there are not many pregnant mothers who can really persist. If "fishing for two days and drying the net for three days", the effect will certainly not be very good.
In fact, as long as you have perseverance in love, every family (including expectant mothers, prospective fathers and other family members) can do it, because different prenatal education methods can use different time. If the mother (female) and father (female) talk, it only takes 1-2 minutes; Music prenatal education, twice a day, each time 5- 10 minutes, generally not more than 30 minutes; Touch prenatal education several times a day, but about 5 minutes each time is appropriate.
I want to have music prenatal education, but how do I start?
It is generally believed that when the fetus wakes up, with the help of music equipment, such as radio, CD, MP3, etc., music prenatal education can be done 1-2 times a day. , and pregnant women 1-2 minutes each time (increasing with gestational age, but not exceeding 30 minutes), pregnant women 1-. Not too loud. When the fetus is listening, it is best for pregnant mommy to listen. Choose your favorite prenatal music tape (preferably without lyrics) and make free scene association with music. In order to adjust the mood and achieve a relaxed mood.
This is also a good way for mothers to sing or hum music to their babies. Because, on the one hand, the singing mother's mood is happy and relaxed, on the other hand, the mother's humming can make the fetal mood change synchronously with the mother, and the mother's voice is more natural, which can reduce the complex noise and communication interference of CD or tape. Some pregnant women think that they are tone-deaf, have no musical cells, and are not suitable for singing to the fetus. In fact, there is absolutely no need to take singing too strictly. You know, singing to the fetus, all you need is the mother's deep affection for the fetus. As long as you sing with deep maternal love for the fetus, your singing will make the fetus very happy. Father humming can also play the role of prenatal education, because the father's low-frequency voice is more easily accepted by children through the abdominal wall.
6. Will the baby react during prenatal education?
I will. The most typical is the "kicking game": at first, the expectant mother slaps on the fetal movement (abdomen); When the fetus gets used to it, the mother will pat it outside the fetal movement (abdomen) and the fetus will automatically kick to a new place.
7. Is the baby who has received prenatal education particularly capable of learning in the future?
Practice at home and abroad shows that, on the whole, the intelligence development of prenatal education children is obviously better than that of ordinary children, but it is not 100%, because learning ability also depends on many other factors, such as heredity, family, environment and society. In addition, the purpose of prenatal education is to promote the healthy development of the fetus and lay the foundation for its intellectual development and healthy growth after birth, and it is not necessary to cultivate child prodigies. The essence of prenatal education is the transmission of love, not the instillation of knowledge. Therefore, pregnant mothers must have a correct attitude when doing prenatal education.
