What can preschool education do?
It is found from many studies that preschool children, especially before the age of 5, are the key period of human development. Children in this period are curious, inquisitive and very sensitive to many things. If parents can seize the opportunity and give them school-age education, they can promote his intellectual development and lay a good learning foundation.

For example, Goethe, a famous German poet in18th century and19th century, told him stories every day when he was a child, and suddenly stopped at the critical point to let Goethe continue to think about the future plot. The next day, before speaking, I asked him what he thought. After he finished speaking, I continued to finish the story, and Goethe's imagination was gradually cultivated. Therefore, some foreign scholars have found that if a baby lacks proper learning opportunities after birth, his learning ability will decline with his age and he will not reach the level of intelligence he could have reached.

According to the research of brain physiology, the rapid development of infant intelligence is closely related to the development of brain in this period. The brain of 5-year-old children has developed to near maturity, which provides a physiological basis and possibility for the rapid development of preschool education and intelligence. However, if preschool education can provide rich, complex and changeable environmental stimuli, it can promote the cell volume of cerebral cortex and increase the connections between cells. Therefore, whether early education is appropriate directly affects the development of children's potential, which really deserves the attention of preschool teachers and parents.

Parents should take into account the characteristics of preschool children when tutoring their children. In addition to the above curiosity and thirst for knowledge, children's body and mind are also in a period of rapid development; Therefore, their learning response is very specific, unstable and random. They should be induced and inspired to be curious, and should not be forced to instill knowledge. All learning activities should be related to children's life and games, and special attention should be paid to fun. The specific methods are as follows-

1, correctly organize and guide game activities, and develop children's intelligence from games.

Games are the most important learning activities for children and the best way to promote their psychological development. There are many kinds of children's games, such as creative games: plane and three-dimensional modeling, collage, stamping and other painting activities; Look at pictures, make up stories, play with puppets and pick up stories; Self-singing and self-acting, movements freely created with music, etc. Sensory sports games: you can arrange big muscle games such as walking, running, jumping, climbing, pushing and pulling, skipping rope and patting the ball; You can arrange clipping and play games with small muscles such as clay; You can also use games such as vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste; Imitate family or social figures, play the role of family wine and so on. Due to the lack of knowledge and experience, children's ability to move independently is weak, so they should give guidance and positive help as much as possible when playing games.

2. Be persuasive and stimulate children's spirit of seeking knowledge and exploring.

Children lack knowledge and experience, and their intelligence is developing. When they come into contact with complex society and nature, they feel fresh, curious and confused everywhere. They are very curious and have a lot of "why?" In their view. This is the spark of wisdom and the bud of creativity. Parents should be able to grasp this great learning opportunity, be persuasive, stimulate their motivation for further exploration, and cultivate a proactive willingness to learn.

3. Make up stories and use stories to expand children's knowledge.

Generally speaking, the story has content, plot and vivid image, which is very popular with children and easy to accept. A good story can not only expand children's knowledge, but also develop their intelligence better. Parents should consider the children's physical and mental characteristics when making up stories and integrate common sense into stories; When telling a story, you should have feelings, show the emotions of the characters in the story, and reflect them on your face. Language should be clear, vivid and popular, and adult language should be avoided. In addition, some questions can be interspersed in the story to inspire children's thinking, and sometimes they can relay parent-child stories.

4. Explore the field of children's life and cultivate a wide range of interests.

Always bring children into contact with nature and all kinds of things in the big society, so that children have the opportunity to visit everywhere. Go to museums, science and technology museums, zoos, parks and places of interest, so that children can experience the grandeur of the world and many things, and also expand their knowledge and stimulate their interest in learning from the visits. It is a good study to have the opportunity to discuss with children and collect information before and after the visit.

5. Parents set a good example, so that children can listen and learn.

Children's imitation ability is very strong, and parents are the closest people to children. Every move, every word and deed is the goal of children's imitation. What' parents have children', so it is not bad to say that' children are the epitome of parents'; We should pay attention to this subtle effect and unconsciously pass on our good habits, learning spirit and open attitude to our children, thus producing a good recognition effect.
