This is indeed a special idea and a relatively new practice. I also checked some posts and articles on this topic on the Internet, and most of the results were skeptical and wait-and-see attitude towards this "special" preschool education. But there are also some cases about this kind of "special" preschool education, and these people have done it themselves.
I don't think we can categorically reject this practice. Now let's analyze these parents who hold "special" preschool education ideas. What are their psychological motives? I think we can have the following points:
1. Some parents are not very confident in the current education system. They are worried that giving their children to kindergartens in the past three years will not meet their educational expectations.
2. Some parents think that leaving their children at home for education can prolong the parent-child time with their children and strengthen the parent-child relationship.
These parents think that 0 to 6 years old is the key period for their children to grow up. Doing a good job in this period is very important for children's future development, so it is most important to do a good job in family education.
Some parents have received a lot of education, and their own quality and cultural level are relatively high, so they really can't find a good kindergarten. In the past three years, they will choose to raise their children at home.
5. A small number of families can't afford to send their children to kindergarten for economic reasons, so they choose to leave their children at home for self-study.
Most people who choose to go to kindergarten may be influenced by social and cultural inertia and think that children should receive education in kindergarten. Also, parents don't want to take care of their children at all, so they throw them into kindergarten and let the teacher take care of them. It is also possible that the family is too busy to look after the children. Most parents will choose to send their children to kindergarten, which is the right behavior in a big way. However, isn't it wrong to choose not to let children go to kindergarten? I think we can compare it.
We can see that this is a child from a "special" preschool education family, and his daily schedule is arranged. Compared with kindergartens, there seems to be no shortage of important arrangements, but there are more children in kindergartens. But this is only an example, and not all families can arrange it like this. But it can also explain some problems: "studying" at home is actually feasible. Only few people will do this, because it requires a stay-at-home mother to do her best.
I think this subversive training mode is very different from the traditional education mode, but the difference is not necessarily a defect. This is the result of development of social economy and human civilization. Even if there is no national concern about this educational model, folk forces will automatically emerge to break the existing system and tear it apart one by one under the existing model. Professor Zhu Yongxin said in the book "The School of the Future" that the future education will be conducted in the form of a learning center, and the future education will be that capable people will be teachers and capable people will be teachers. I believe there are many masters in the folk. They don't have a teacher qualification certificate, but they are teachers on their own.
We know that the bottom logic of business is catering, while the bottom logic of education is change. Education must follow and serve the law of human physical and mental development; Education must follow and serve the law of social development. This preschool education model does not violate this logic and law among the people. Under the careful guidance of parents, children can be promoted to get good training and education from 0 to 6 years old. Isn't this bold attempt an innovation of educational model and educational concept? Today's school education still follows the educational model of 100 years ago, which was the product of the big industrial era, with high efficiency, standardization, unity and neatness as the main model. But the present era has changed a lot compared with 100 years ago, and I think it is normal to be different.
For example, The Secret of Childhood, Don't Teach Bravely, You are the Best Toy for Children, Active Discipline, How to Cultivate Children's Social Ability, How to Say Children Will Listen, How to Listen to Children Will Speak, etc., these widely circulated books on parenting education have deeply and profoundly analyzed children's cognition, emotion and memory by using the frontier theories of child development psychology and positive psychology. It provides strong theoretical support for family preschool education. Parents can learn the theories and methods in these good books by themselves. Arm your mind for family education. With a new world outlook and methodology, it will be easier to change an old behavior.
With the rapid development of science and technology, people's understanding of the human brain is becoming more and more profound. A large number of brain scientists and neuroscientists have conducted more in-depth research on human beings. Parents' language is the product of 30 years' research by Dana Saskind, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Chicago, which has aroused great repercussions in American academic and educational circles. After a lot of long-term investigation and data collection, the author Dr. Saskind found the decisive influence of early language environment on children. In other words, the social status of parents does not affect the quality of children's learning, but the language used by parents when talking with their children is the most critical factor. Before the child is three years old, the area in the human brain responsible for thinking and learning begins to play a role. Parents miss the training of their children's language ability, which may cause a gap of 30 million words between different children (with duplication). She said: the early language environment of children, that is, the language environment provided by parents, largely determines the development of innate potential. The magical function of parents' language goes far beyond simple vocabulary introduction. This is a necessary stimulus to determine the superiority and durability of a specific neuronal circuit and to prune other neuronal circuits. It can be seen that the language of parents is very important for shaping the growth of children. Of course, this is also related to the quality of parents themselves, but in general, children need the care of their families and the companionship of their parents.
There is a book called Love, Money and Children. This book reveals the reasons why different parents choose different parenting styles from the perspective of economics, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of this parenting style, so that parents can better understand their choices and inspire us to improve their parenting styles. Parents with strong economic ability and high academic qualifications will pay more attention to their own education for their children, the authoritative parents mentioned in this book. The educational level between generations has a strong continuity. Children of well-educated parents are more likely to receive better education, including family preschool education. The stratification of social economy leads to the stratification of people and education, which is the economic reason why "special" preschool education will sprout.
In fact, if we look at the past history, we can know that in the past, when the level of social development was not high, most people simply did not have the conditions to go to kindergarten, and most people spent the critical period of 0 to 6 years old with their parents at home. It is just that it is difficult for children to achieve high achievements in this mode, which is a historical limitation. Anyway, I didn't go to kindergarten myself, but I went to preschool for one year at the age of six. But now I'm still growing up well. Learning the day after tomorrow can make up for some congenital deficiencies.
I have never opposed going to kindergarten. I am optimistic about this kind of alternative preschool education. These two completely different educational models are both feasible. As long as parents have the heart, they don't feel great pressure on their children's growth. Don't blindly follow the behavior of not letting children lose at the starting line, but learn more about the scientific principles of children's physical and mental growth and adopt scientific methods to make children grow up healthily.
