Today, a group of precious mothers I belong to have a heated discussion about whether to provide preschool education for their children.

I believe many parents believe that children should play before they formally enter primary school. As long as they can have a happy childhood, they should not be educated in advance.

Why do many people have such educational ideas?

Now is the era of information explosion. We can receive all kinds of parenting ideas from the internet every day, and giving children a happy childhood is one of them.

It is a wonderful thing to have a happy childhood.

Personally, many concerned companies have talked about this issue. The reason why children are unwilling to learn too much knowledge in advance is largely because everyone has received the message that early education violates the law of children's development and will cause certain pressure to children. The knowledge learned in advance will not be learned until primary school, because children will be complacent and lose concentration.

Even my husband, who doesn't like reading, said, "It's good to go to kindergarten without teaching, that is, let the children play, otherwise he will study in advance and won't concentrate on his studies when he goes to primary school."

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, it is forbidden to teach pinyin and literacy in kindergartens, and primary schools should teach them from scratch.

However, several treasure mothers with two children in the group told us: Don't believe that children don't learn anything before going to primary school, or they will be exhausted after going to the first grade!

Learning knowledge in advance may not conflict with having a happy childhood.

Is being tired the most terrible thing?

Although the Ministry of Education has regulations, how many are strictly enforced? Parents of real children attending primary school should know that schools can't teach from scratch. Often, when teaching pinyin, new words, addition and subtraction within ten minutes, first-grade teachers require proficiency and fast progress. If the child is completely zero-based, once he can't keep up with the progress, he will be criticized in class, which will greatly hurt his self-confidence.

This is what parents are most worried about. No one wants their children to be discouraged as soon as they get to the starting line.

As parents, I am most afraid that my children will lose confidence in their studies.

In daily life, should we teach our children some knowledge? When children are two and a half years old, they will sing abcd English alphabet songs one after another while watching TV occasionally. Of course, his pronunciation is not very standard. Then he always sings, so I bought him a set of English letter cards and digital cards. As a result, he was very interested and liked to hold them one by one and ask me, "Mom, what is this?"

Later, I knew almost all the English letters and all the numbers, and I began to know two numbers.

From then on, for example, he likes to point out which clothes or packages have English letters on them; On the last floor, he read the floor signs in the corridor one by one.

If children want to like learning, we can make learning interesting.

If the child asks me in strict accordance with the idea of zero-based admission, should I also refuse?

So, I think we can definitely teach our children something.

We all know that the younger a child is, the stronger his learning ability and the stronger his absorption ability. They are born with a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Therefore, if some benign education can be given to children during this period, children will also accelerate their absorption.

But this is different from the so-called early education. When we input knowledge to children, we should do the following:

Don't be utilitarian Some parents will pay more attention to their children's academic performance and be too strict with their children. For example, some parents like to compare with others. How many Tang poems do they think other children can recite? Let them recite them when they come back. Ask children to know a few new words every day, and they will be punished if they don't learn them.

In this way, children are not only prone to resistance to learning, but also hurt the parent-child relationship.

Parents who are too utilitarian will dampen their children's enthusiasm for learning.

Try to be interesting. For example, when we go up the steps with our children, we can count how many levels we have with our children; Children can be allowed to take money to buy things and settle accounts; You can recite a poem to your child easily on the way out to play.

Parents' careful companionship and guidance will deepen children's impression of what they have learned.

Because learning is "situational", the emotions experienced by children in the process of learning will be stored in their brains together with what they have learned.

If children learn knowledge in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, they will deepen their memory and increase their interest in active learning.

Therefore, although children mainly play in infancy, we can certainly teach them some knowledge if they are interested, but we should try our best to make education entertaining. Cultivating children's interest and enthusiasm in learning is more important than blunt input.
