Parents are distressed: people are studying, and we can't fall behind.
After 80, mom Tan Chaojuan couldn't sit still any longer. Although the child is still under four years old, she decided to act as soon as possible after seeing that all her colleagues and friends have signed up for such training classes, and signed up for painting classes and English classes.
Tan Chaojuan works in an advertising company in Jiangdong. These days, she went to various training courses to experience consultation after work. I will surf the Internet or make phone calls from time to time during working hours to learn about the situation of early education training institutions. "In fact, I don't want my children to attend these training classes so early. Tutoring is enough, as are other children. If my children don't learn as soon as possible, they may be worse than others. " Tan Chaojuan explained.
Tan Chaojuan's idea is not a case. Ms. Cen, who works in a foreign company, recently had a quarrel with her husband about giving her children a training class. Ms. Cen's child is only 14 months old. She wanted to find a place for her children to learn English, but her husband firmly opposed it. As a result, the couple were very unhappy about it.
Ms. Cen said: "Children can now speak simple Chinese fluently, such as mom and dad. I just want my children to learn two languages together. It will be easy to learn a foreign language as their mother tongue from an early age. "
It is not unusual to sign up for a training class for children. "Among the parents I know, many parents have reported three or four training courses to their children in order to let them learn more talents." A person in charge of a training institution told reporters.
The reporter saw on the pre-school education section of the Oriental Forum that there are not a few posts about consulting English, painting and other children's training institutions. The reporter found out that some parents' children are only two or three years old now. Although parents want their children to learn something, many parents themselves don't know what courses their children are suitable for, but they just "hope the training institutions can recommend them".
Training institutions: The training market for children aged 3 to 6 is very hot.
At present, there are many training institutions and programs for children aged 3 to 6.
According to the reporter's incomplete statistics, there are no fewer than 30 preschool education training institutions in Haishu, Jiangdong and Jiangbei, involving English, hosting, dancing, modeling, writing, pinyin and painting. The reporter's telephone consultation found that most of the children's training courses are over 3 years old, and some even need only one or two years old. The enrollment situation of the training course is also "very ideal".
Yesterday afternoon, the reporter visited several children's training institutions in the three districts. The art center in jiangdong district mainly focuses on children's performances, enrolling students over three and a half years old. The staff told reporters that their enrollment situation is very good, and there are more than 10 hosting and performance classes.
What can three or four-year-old children learn in the model class? The staff of the center said that the model class should let the children learn the knowledge of taking to the stage, shape their bodies, and enhance their temperament and self-confidence. "Children who have learned models must be different from those who have never learned them."
Helen Dolan, Ningbo Bookstore, is a children's English training institution, which recruits children from 3 months to 14. She settled in Ningbo in March this year and has already enrolled in three or four classes. "The sooner you learn a language, the better. Learning English when children are older is translation learning. " A staff member surnamed Wu said, "Children here can sign up in three months, and now they are mainly recruiting preschool students."
Early Education Expert: It is ok to enroll in interest classes, but you should be normal.
"Parents are keen to sign up for early childhood training classes, many of which are caused by some bad attitudes of parents." Cui, a senior lecturer in early education and director of the Sun Flower Picture Book Museum in Ningbo, said, "Some parents feel guilty and anxious when they see that other children have reported, but their children have not reported. Some parents regret that their interests have not been developed, so they hope that their children can inherit their interests and impose their ideals on their children. "
In addition, some parents are eager for quick success and instant benefit, and think that it is "good for children" to let their children master some talents, which will be more or less helpful to their future life, study and work. Therefore, we attach great importance to children's academic performance, which leads to the increase of children's psychological pressure, the loss of fun in learning, and the interest class has become an intensive class.
At the Yangtze River Delta Principal Summit Forum held in Zhenhai in late last month, many principals criticized some parents for neglecting their children's physical and mental development and growth laws, and letting their children bear the pressure of study prematurely. "Three or four-year-old children have to recite Tang poetry and Song poetry, and they have to learn this and that. How can children understand what he means? Doing so will make children lose interest in learning. "
Cui said that it is also a good experience for children who are in the period of physical and mental development to be exposed to some new environments and new things that they have never been exposed to before. Rich hobbies can make a child's life more colorful. Therefore, no matter what field of interest classes, as long as it is good for children's physical and mental development, you can participate. However, when children attend training classes, parents must be normal, not aiming at how much they learn and not comparing with other children.
Le Jun, a national second-level psychological counselor and a senior teacher of Ningbo Foreign Affairs School, also believes that children's interests and personality characteristics should be considered in the training class, and parents' wishes should not be taken as the starting point. "As entertainment, as a test. If the child is not interested, it will be counterproductive to exclude learning from an early age. "
I hope it helps you!
