As a kindergarten teacher, I have some opinions on this issue.

The so-called "enlightenment education" refers to the education suitable for the current age at the critical period of children's physical and mental development.

For example, in the sensitive period of children's language, we can appropriately strengthen the cultivation of their language ability.

The so-called "advanced education" refers to the education that is not suitable for the current age stage during the child's growth.

For example, when a child goes to kindergarten, teach him all kinds of knowledge of primary school in advance.

Enlightenment education is of great significance to children's development, and the disadvantages of advanced education outweigh the advantages, which is not conducive to children's physical and mental development. It is not recommended to educate children in advance.

0 to 6 years old is a period when children's physical and mental development is quite rapid. Advanced education generally ignores the cultivation of moral behavior habits and takes instilling knowledge into children as the main content of early childhood education. In life, children are cared for in every way and arranged everywhere, which leads to poor independence of children.

Parents with advanced education only pay attention to their children's learning, which leads to their children only caring about the tasks assigned by adults, having little interest in exploration and little motivation to find questions and answers. Without this age, their creativity and imagination are very unfavorable to their growth.

Children's growth is restricted by physiological and psychological maturity mechanism. Artificial training in advance is not necessarily effective and unnecessary, and it will also cause physical and psychological burden to children, and may also affect children's interest in learning, thus creating rebellious psychology.

Enlightenment education is not advanced education. Enlightenment is to develop ignorance and make it meaningful. Enlightenment education means that we adults show some beautiful and even profound things to our children, nourish their hearts, and children will leave an impression, and one day they will be integrated and suddenly enlightened.

I think we can't "get ahead" if we want to inspire children's thinking, guide their thinking and behavior, stimulate their hobbies and interests, and guide them to what extent they can accept it.

The definitions of enlightenment education and advanced education are as follows.

First, enlightenment education should include four years before the child is four years old, which is a definition that has to be made in view of the fierce competition today, because the child will go to the first grade of primary school at the age of six. When entering school, children's best level is to master addition and subtraction within 50 in mathematics, read simple Chinese extracurricular books and read and write 26 English letters. If all these can be done, the time to start studying at the age of five is already tight, so it will start at the age of five.

Second, although there are some doubts about learning English now, we should take every subject seriously before the reform. Children are advised to learn 26 letters of English and their corresponding derivatives when they are 3 or 4 years old. The advantage of this is that they are interested in English and open-minded. After mastering these 26 letters, you should avoid confusing them with Pinyin in the future, and don't learn English letters with Pinyin, so as to avoid children being tired of learning and the consequences are unimaginable.

In short, enlightenment is to make children interested in a certain field, while advanced education is to learn the courses that should be studied in advance, so as to gain valuable time for the study of other subjects in the future.

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. ?

I am an educator. ?

In my opinion, enlightenment education refers to the guidance and development of children's potential with the main purpose of perceiving things according to children's developmental psychology and children's growth law; ?

Defining what "advanced education" is, first of all, based on children's ability to accept and absorb, rather than judging by age. As long as children can master this knowledge, I don't think they are ahead. ?
