So, is it right or wrong to give children advanced education? Parents must know the pros and cons.
On the matter of further education, a precious mother shared her personal experience.
Before her children went to primary school, Ma Bao Xiaoyu believed that "advanced education" was not good for her baby, so she didn't educate her baby in advance.
Later, the child began to go to the first grade of primary school. Xiaoyu bluntly said that he was "about to collapse": other children could finish their homework in more than an hour; It takes my baby three or four hours to do his homework.
Every time I do my homework, I spend it in the roar of my old mother and the "forgetting" and "not knowing" of my children.
Xiaoyu learned that those students who do their homework quickly and do well in exams in their children's classes advocate advanced education in kindergartens. At this time, she couldn't help wondering: Is it wrong to refuse higher education?
A senior primary school teacher pointed out that in the first grade, children who receive advanced education usually perform better than other children, but this does not mean that advanced education has advantages and disadvantages.
She observed that children who have not received advanced education can often form good listening habits under the supervision of teachers and parents, and generally catch up in the second grade; However, children who have received advanced education have many "sequelae".
The harm of advanced education will break out in the second and third grades at the latest.
Benefits of higher education
Advanced education usually refers to going beyond the normal development of children and teaching them what they will learn in the future in advance. Some children start early education classes at the age of one, and start reading, reciting poems and memorizing English very early.
The benefits of educating children in advance are obvious: children know more than other children.
When they are in primary school, they can understand the course content more easily, finish their homework more quickly, and often get good grades in exams. And teachers will be more worry-free in class.
In addition, after children get good grades, their self-confidence may also be enhanced, which will help improve their enthusiasm for learning. But higher education has a bigger drawback: once one step is wrong, it is easy to take a detour.
The disadvantages of higher education are even greater.
First of all, children who have received advanced education are likely to have a problem, that is, they are not serious in class.
When educating children in advance, most parents only pay attention to let their children learn as much as possible, but ignore the cultivation of listening habits.
When they get to primary school, these children will find that they have basically learned everything the teacher said. In this way, they have poor self-control and have no habit of attending classes, so it is easy for them to do other things and not listen carefully.
But because the content of this stage has been learned in advance, they can still get high marks and do their homework quickly even if they don't listen carefully.
At this time, parents are usually very pleased, even glad that they let their baby receive advanced education. As everyone knows, the situation will be very different in the second and third day of junior high school.
Because when the teaching progress enters a new stage, these children will find themselves unable to keep up with what the teacher said, and they don't know when it started.
In the first grade, children who have not been exposed to advanced education will certainly encounter many problems, but parents and teachers will also spend more energy to guide and urge him.
This will help children develop good habits in class. In the future, you can participate well in class and study, and the learning efficiency will gradually improve.
Other children, however, will suffer from the increase of knowledge and difficulty and the lack of listening habits, and their grades will decline day by day, and their enthusiasm for learning may also be hit.
Since the hidden dangers of advanced education are so great, shouldn't children be taught knowledge before they go to primary school? In fact, refusing to advance education means not to instill knowledge into the baby, and it is no problem to enlighten it properly.
Before going to primary school, parents can pay attention to the following aspects, which will help their children to start their primary school study and life better.
First, knowledge teaching should grasp the discretion
Before going to primary school, parents can let their children learn some pinyin, literacy and other contents, and let them know some commonly used words, which is enough. In this way, children can better understand the topic in primary school and do not delay the teacher's teaching.
In mathematics, you can refer to the Guide to Learning and Development for Children Aged 3-6 issued by the Ministry of Education. The guide points out that preschool children can only add and subtract within 10 through physical operation or other methods.
Second, reading habits are more important.
As mentioned above, some teachers pointed out that many children with advanced education did not develop good habits of listening and doing other things in class and missed a lot of teaching content.
In fact, this shows the importance of habit. In kindergarten, we can read picture books to children and show them some simple words. We don't need to let him learn to write, the key is to cultivate reading interest.
This helps to cultivate children's affinity for books and improve their interest in learning. Later, when he was studying in class, it was easier for him to form the good habit of attending classes.
Third, the ability to live can not be ignored.
When children go to primary school, parents are worried about their children's grades, but they often ignore their children's campus life.
Many children don't adapt to primary school, not only because they don't understand the classroom content, but also because they lack self-care ability and communication ability.
Under the care of their parents, many children can't do anything at the age of primary school, and their communication skills are also lacking. In this way, they will feel overwhelmed and even afraid in a strange environment.
Therefore, for preschool children, we should cultivate their self-care ability and communication ability step by step to help them enter a new stage smoothly.
Excessive advanced education is harmful to children, but it is actually the anxiety of parents.
Seeing other children win prizes, they get the first place in the exam as soon as they go to school, and they always say new words. We are prone to anxiety and even regret that we have not forced our children to receive preschool education.
In fact, if you really want to educate your child well, the most important thing you should do is to calm down and educate your child according to his specific situation. You don't have to rush to cram all the knowledge into his head in advance.
Cultivating good habits is more effective than letting children recite texts and formulas in advance, so that children can make steady progress.
