Putting the cart before the horse education
Putting knowledge before skills is putting the cart before the horse. How can parents guide their children to learn more skills? Children's education is a major event, and it is a tacit fear of carelessness of every parent. But in children's education, this is the field with the most "pits", such as a common "pit", which emphasizes the comprehensiveness of knowledge and ignores the shaping of professional skills. This can be seen from the daily chat of a group of old mothers:

"Our children are only 3 years old and can recite many ancient poems ..." "Our children are only 4 years old, and they can already do oral arithmetic in grade one ..." "Our children are only 5 years old and can already write a lot of words ..." From this kind of chat, we can easily find that many parents want to train their children to be primary school tyrants as soon as possible, and this idea is widespread, if I don't do this. Preschool should be the best time to stimulate children's imagination and creativity, but many parents regard it as a good time to paint a gourd ladle for their children, fearing that the basic knowledge passed on to their children will be reduced.

But I don't know if this step is wrong, the child's future development trend is bound to be adversely affected, not worth the candle. Do children really need to receive knowledge education early? Let's talk about the physical and psychological characteristics of 3-year-old children. No matter how high our parents expect their children, or imagine their children as gifted children, we can't ignore a hidden objective fact, that is, it is not particularly proud that a 3-year-old child knows one or two thousand words earlier than others.

The main reason is that children before the age of 3 have very limited life experience and almost no memory in semantics, so it is difficult to closely combine every word with daily life. Even if they know many words, they can't understand what they are reading. There are not a few children who are tired of learning. This is not to say that these children are born with knowledge. In fact, his desire for learning and training is closely related to his parents' premature and excessive "development and design". How do parents use boring literacy and arithmetic to occupy their children's time to explore the universe and contact society? In that case, even if children take the initiative in literacy and arithmetic, it won't last long.

Paying attention to the transmission of common sense and not paying enough attention to the shaping of professional skills is not good for children's future development. Literacy and arithmetic in unrealistic life only satisfy the vanity of adults, but for children, they don't really experience happiness from literacy and arithmetic. On the other hand, abstract and boring experiences account for the majority. If children are in this situation for a long time, they are likely to be more and more tired of learning.

In addition, if preschool children are allowed to learn and train the comprehensive knowledge in the basic education stage too early, they will lose their mystery. When they really enter the primary school classroom, they will feel that they have understood it, and naturally there is no intention of studying hard. In the long run, children will develop the bad habit of not listening carefully in class, which is very fatal to their future study.

Naturally, for preschool children, parents are not depressed about their children's development. In the two years before going to school, we can correctly guide children to do many things, including shaping their autonomous learning ability, feeling and exploring happiness around the world, mastering survival skills and shaping their enthusiasm for reading articles. This kind of skill learning is the teaching key that our parents need to pay attention to.
