Law of growth and development
The growth rate of children gradually slows down with the increase of age, and the order is from head to toe, from center to edge. The nervous system is mature first, then the musculoskeletal system, and finally the reproductive system.
Law of psychological development
With the growth of age, children's psychology develops gradually, from concrete image cognition to abstract logical thinking. Emotion develops from unintentional, changeable and exposed to stable and intentional control.
Interaction between physiology and psychology
Physiological development restricts psychological development. When a specific physiological function matures, the corresponding psychological ability will also develop rapidly.
The critical period of parenting
Studies at home and abroad show that 2-3 years old, 6-7 years old and 1 1- 12 years old are the key age stages of parenting. Preschool children will have obvious qualitative changes in speech and thinking. For example: 2-3 years old is the key period of oral development; 4-5 years old is the key period for learning written language; 2-3 years old is a turning point in the development of counting ability; 3-5 years old is a critical period for the development of musical ability; 3-8 years old is a critical period for learning a foreign language.
