Education plays a leading role in children's psychological development, which is often reflected in the following aspects:
(1) Education can make up for the deficiency of children's genetic quality, and education can also make use of part of children's genetic quality to fully develop children's intelligence and talent. Experiments show that if a baby is properly trained and educated after birth, the learning efficiency after three months may be twice as high as that of a baby of the same age without training and education. Another example is a pair of twin sisters, who are taken care of separately after one year of birth. One received only two years of school education, while the other completed junior college. Thirty-five years later, they were given the same intelligence test, and the results showed that those who finished college were 24 points higher than those who had only received two years of education. This intellectual difference is obviously determined by education.
(2) Education can influence the influence of social living environment on children's psychological development. If the influence of social living environment is consistent with the direction of education, education can use this influence to strengthen children's psychological development in this respect. On the contrary, education can also offset this influence.
(3) Only through purposeful, planned and systematic education can children's psychological development become a reality. In this sense, education is the main way for children to become talents.
