However, why do 82 million Germans share half of the Nobel Prize in the world? The answer turned out to be-don't overdevelop children's intelligence too early and let them lose at the starting line.
1. The Constitution prohibits preschool education.
Children's "only task" before primary school is to grow up happily. It used to be thought that only kindergarten children in Germany were not allowed to learn professional knowledge, but later it was discovered that children in primary schools could not take extra courses, even if their IQ exceeded their peers.
Sandra from Cologne wrote: "My son is 7 years old this year. I asked the school teacher if I could teach him something extra, because he learned basic reading, writing and simple mathematical calculations at home when he was 5-6 years old. The teacher objected, "You should keep your children in sync with other children. "
If children must be "educated" before going to school, then the focus of "education" is only three aspects: a. Basic social common sense, such as not allowing violence and not talking loudly. B, the child's hands-on ability. During kindergarten, children will participate in hand-made according to their own interests, so that children can take the initiative to do specific things from an early age. C, protect children's emotional embryos, cultivate emotional intelligence and leadership. I thought only Germany had such strange rules. In fact, European countries treat children in the same way.
2. Preschool education destroys imagination
Contrary to German, children in China have basically learned all the knowledge in the first grade of primary school during kindergarten. People have reason to worry that German children lost to China's children at the starting line. In fact, such worries are unnecessary.
Germans generally believe that children have their own growth laws and should do corresponding things at corresponding stages. On the surface, China's preschool education and basic education are solid, but their imagination and thinking ability are destroyed, which leads children to form the habit of passively accepting knowledge and ignoring active thinking.
3. Cruel education
Germans believe that children will leave their parents sooner or later when they grow up. Instead of letting them face setbacks and fear helplessness, it is better to "bump" their courage and ability to face life from an early age. Therefore, "cruel education" has become a popular trend in early childhood education in Germany. In order to understand the "cruel education" popular in Germany, a scholar walked into the kindergarten.
4. Never force a child.
Yana, a teacher, said: "Germans never feed their children. If they are hungry, they will take the initiative to eat. Gabriel won't eat it herself now, but she will next time. " Dr. Susanna said: "Teachers only give encouragement and hints by words or actions when necessary. Adults should not force them to do anything or do anything, because that may inhibit the development of children's independent behavior. Help him accomplish one thing, and he will only do what others have done in the future and will lack creativity. "
Adults apologize to their children.
Dr. Susanna believes that parents must be good at controlling their emotions, give their children as much love as possible instead of doting on them, and respect their self-esteem. Therefore, parents should always say "sorry", "please forgive" and "thank you".
6. Parents are forbidden to nag by law.
In Germany, taking care of children and protecting their legitimate rights and interests have been incorporated into legal provisions. On the one hand, the law stipulates that children should help their parents wash dishes, sweep the floor and buy things, and form the habit of loving labor from an early age; On the other hand, parents are forbidden to "nag, beat and scold or not love their children". If children think they are not respected or neglected, they can sue their parents in court. In addition, the law also explains in detail the rights enjoyed by children.
