Today, with the continuous progress and rapid development of society, all parents not only hope that their children are smart, beautiful and lively, but also hope that their children are superior in intelligence and talent in order to be invincible in the fierce competition in the future. This requires cultivating children from an early age. After years of research, famous American psychologists have come to the conclusion that 50% of human intelligence is acquired before the age of 4; 30% is obtained between the ages of 4 and 8; 20% after 8 years old. Among them, 50% of the intelligence acquired before the age of 4 is acquired through prenatal education, which shows the importance of prenatal education.
So what is prenatal education? The definition of prenatal education in Ci Yuan is: "In the old days, it meant that after a woman became pregnant, she had to observe etiquette in her thoughts, audio-visual, words and deeds, so as to have a good influence on the fetus, which was called prenatal education." It can be seen that prenatal education is to create a beautiful environment for pregnant women, so that the fetus can receive good intrauterine education at the beginning of life through normal information exchange between the mother and the fetus, thus promoting the healthy growth and development of the fetus's body and mind, with a view to becoming a healthy and intelligent outstanding talent in the future, that is, all kinds of education for the fetus during pregnancy, which is called "prenatal education". The education of prenatal education is different from the education after birth. Instead of teaching the fetus to sing, speak and do arithmetic, it is to train the fetus' "six senses", that is, smell, hearing, vision, taste, movement and skin feeling. Through all kinds of appropriate and reasonable information stimulation, we can promote the development of various sensory functions of the fetus and lay a good foundation for early education after birth.
The development of modern science proves that the fetus has amazing ability. The fetus not only has the ability of sight, hearing, activity and memory, but also can feel the emotional changes of the mother. The old cerebral cortex formed before the baby is the basis of the new cerebral cortex formed after the baby is born. Only on the good foundation of the old cerebral cortex can the new cerebral cortex develop better, so as to reach the extraordinary IQ level and exert its extraordinary talents.
The contents of prenatal education include pregnant women's health care during pregnancy, the influence of external environment on pregnant women, and the emotional fluctuation of pregnant women, among which a good spiritual life for mothers is particularly important. According to the meaning of prenatal education, medicine is often divided into broad prenatal education and narrow prenatal education.
In a broad sense, prenatal education refers to the health education for pregnant women and fetuses, with emphasis on the physiological and pathological medical care for mothers and fetuses. Because the fetus has not been shaped in the process of organ formation, growth and development, it is easily influenced by the outside world, that is, the so-called "image is initial, there is no fixed instrument, and it changes because of perception, and the external image is the internal image." The external influence mentioned here mainly refers to the influence of maternal spirit, diet and cold temperature. The physical and mental health of the mother plays a decisive role in the growth of the fetus, including the development of intelligence and physique. Therefore, prenatal education in a broad sense is conducive to the physical and mental health of mothers and fetuses, and to the implementation of health care measures such as protecting, nurturing and protecting fetuses.
Narrow prenatal education is relative to broad prenatal education. On the basis of prenatal education in a broad sense, optimize and beautify the spiritual world of mother and fetus, and emphasize the cultivation, edification and education of morality, spirit and temperament. It mainly refers to taking some measures and methods to expose pregnant women to beautiful things, environment and atmosphere, which not only makes pregnant women virtuous, full of energy and comfortable, but also promotes the good development of fetal wisdom, mood and quality due to the role of "external image and internal feeling". Therefore, prenatal education in a narrow sense is conducive to the formation and perfection of fetal personality. Narrow prenatal education focuses on the mental health and hygiene of mother and fetus, which is more in line with the meaning of prenatal education, so it should be paid more attention to by pregnant women.
According to people's awareness of prenatal education, it can be divided into intentional prenatal education and unintentional prenatal education. Intentional prenatal education refers to the conscious, purposeful and planned use of certain methods during pregnancy to create certain conditions for pregnant women and fetuses to be nursed back to health. In practice, due to the spirit, intention, habits and hobbies of pregnant women. , adult has been basically stereotyped, even if it is intentional, it is difficult to forcibly change during pregnancy. Some pregnant women have a low education level, even know nothing about prenatal education, and have never deliberately created certain conditions. But follow your own wishes and hobbies at will, without the purpose of prenatal education, but you can accidentally receive the effect of prenatal education in this casual life. The children born are basically or completely the same as those born with careful prenatal education, even better than those born with intentional prenatal education. This is unintentional prenatal education. That is to say, some methods are not deliberately taken to create certain conditions, but some situations in daily life can also regulate the body and mind of pregnant women and fetuses, which has inadvertently produced intentional effects. In fact, the proportion of unintentional prenatal education is greater than that of intentional prenatal education. But this does not mean that intentional prenatal education is meaningless, and unintentional prenatal education is blind after all. Therefore, pregnant women and their families should read more books and periodicals about prenatal education before pregnancy, increase cultural knowledge, improve personal accomplishment and civilization, and strive to make unintentional prenatal education become intentional prenatal education.
During pregnancy, using appropriate methods and means to stimulate the hearing and touch of the fetus regularly and transmit them to the brain through the nervous system can promote the good development of the fetal cerebral cortex, continuously develop the potential ability, and make an excellent talent rich in imagination, profound insight, good memory, agile thinking ability and practical ability, and get potential training through prenatal education. A large number of facts at home and abroad show that prenatal education is very important to improve human intelligence. According to legend, Zhou Wenwang's mother, Empress Tairen, was able to give birth to Zhou Wenwang, who was "described correctly and talented", because she paid attention to her daily life, cultivated herself and insisted on inviting musicians to recite poems at night. In the book Fu Bao written by Dade in the Western Han Dynasty, he recalled that the Yin and Zhou Dynasties emphasized that the education of the monarch should start from the fetal period and named it "prenatal education". This provides an important theoretical basis for the study of prenatal education in the world and has important scientific value in the history of education and medicine in the world. At present, many countries have done a lot of research on prenatal education, established fetal universities or prenatal education guidance centers, and popularized prenatal education knowledge in order to cultivate more precocious children.
The crystallization of ancestral wisdom-traditional prenatal education
Traditional prenatal education is a detailed and systematic prenatal education knowledge summarized by ancestors through a large number of facts and experiences, and it is the crystallization of ancestors' wisdom. Traditional prenatal education includes the following contents:
First of all, starting from perfection is the beginning of prenatal education. Think that a life is not low, but noble.
Secondly, pay attention to the behavior of pregnant women. Pregnant women should avoid "three States", that is, don't talk more, don't laugh more, don't cry more or be frightened or scared. , it will cause pregnant women to be too excited or excited. Worldly desires, such as emotions, joys and sorrows, felt by pregnant women will be passed on to the fetus, so pregnant women should not listen to bad words, do bad things or have bad thoughts. Only when the mother's posture is correct and her conduct is correct, the fetus born will be correct, temperament and taste, so pregnant women should have a correct attitude and behavior than ever.
Third, emphasize the role of the husband. It is pointed out in the history books of prenatal education that the importance of a father's correct behavior in one day during pregnancy is as important as that of a pregnant woman who is pregnant 10 months. Traditional prenatal education emphasizes the importance of father in prenatal education. As a husband, don't get close to other people during the pregnancy, don't drink and smoke, and don't be greedy; We should live devoutly, have a kind heart, be willing to help others and pass on our good qualities to future generations.
Fourth, pregnant women should be vigilant in their daily lives. In daily life, pregnant women should not share the bed with their husbands; Don't sleep or lie down for too long, walk around the house gently; Don't go through dangerous places; Don't lift heavy objects; Don't jump or walk too fast; Don't lie down; Don't sit in places that are too cold or too hot; Don't stand on one leg, lean on the post; Don't stink; Don't listen to bad words; Don't wear clothes that are too thick or thin; Don't eat cold food such as raising wheat, don't eat improper food such as sacrifice; Do not blindly take tonics and prohibit acupuncture; The foods advocated are high-protein foods such as carp, crucian carp, chicken and mullet, and nut foods such as walnuts and pine nuts. When childbirth approaches, you should always wash clothes, because the squatting posture when washing clothes is conducive to childbirth.
Although there are many taboos in traditional prenatal education, these taboos can prevent pregnant women from emotional or physical anxiety, which is not only beneficial to the health of pregnant women, but also conducive to the implementation of prenatal education.
The true meaning of prenatal education
Prenatal education is a new science in recent years, so many people don't know much about it and have many misunderstandings about it.
Some people think that prenatal education is just that pregnant women listen to more music; Some people think that the purpose of prenatal education is to cultivate small talents and create miracles; Some people don't believe in prenatal education at all and think that it is impossible for the fetus to receive "education"; Others think that all children who have received prenatal education are not necessarily prodigies. They haven't had prenatal education before, so there are still scientists and great men. Isn't science also improving? These views are misunderstandings about prenatal education, and they don't really understand the purpose and function of prenatal education.
The essence of prenatal education is to stimulate the potential inside the fetus. The so-called "all fetuses are geniuses" does not mean that all fetuses can become geniuses, but that there is potential in the fetus to be stimulated and the fetus has been able to receive education. We say that the five-month-old fetus is capable of receiving education, but the "education" mentioned here is different from the education after birth, which mainly refers to the training of six senses, namely, the touch of skin, the smell of nose and the hearing of ears. Vision, taste and body movement. First of all, we should understand the normal physiological development of the fetus and its ability. From 2 months, the fetus can move in the uterus. Three-month-old fetus has pressure and touch, four-month-old fetus has cold and hearing, five-month-old fetus has warmth and taste, six-month-old fetus has almost the same hearing as adults, seven-month-old fetus is very sensitive to pain, and eight-month-old fetus can stare at the light source ... The fetus' ability is amazing, and the fetus has living habits.
Many facts have proved that the growth of scientists and great men contains many factors of prenatal education and early education that were not realized at that time. Although prenatal education can effectively improve the quality of the fetus and the quality of the population, it cannot make the fetus become a little genius or a child with extraordinary wisdom after birth. There are many factors that make children a little genius, besides prenatal education, there are also genetic factors, continuing education after birth and environmental factors, as well as non-intellectual factors such as personal interest, will and morality. We advocate prenatal education, 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. Therefore, a child who has received prenatal education can only become a little genius. But one thing is certain, prenatal education is conducive to the development of the fetus in wisdom, personality, emotion, ability and so on, and is conducive to its development on the road of life after birth. If prenatal education is well combined with early education after birth, we believe that human intelligence will be more excellent.
The future society is a society with equal opportunities, fair competition and survival of the fittest. Therefore, today's young couples, especially educated and knowledgeable couples, deeply feel the importance of population quality and realize that the health and intelligence of the only child in the future will have a far-reaching impact on the child's life. Therefore, they pay special attention to prenatal and postnatal care, and the first step is prenatal education. The content of prenatal education is very rich, especially the method of prenatal education is very important. According to the actual situation of the development of fetal sensory function, appropriate and reasonable stimulation should be given in a targeted and proactive manner, so that the fetus can establish conditioned reflex, thus promoting the maturity of its brain function, body motor function, sensory function and nervous system function and laying the foundation for early education after birth.
Experiments show that sound can be introduced into the uterus; Fetuses can hear sounds and have different reactions to different sounds; Touching the abdominal wall can cause fetal limbs and body movements. Children born after prenatal education training have strong ability to live and learn. At present, the recommended methods of prenatal education mainly include music, dialogue, patting and touching, which are scientifically based. If we continue early education after birth, every child's quality potential will be fully developed and the quality of our population will be greatly improved.
