Every parent has high expectations for their children, which is often well reflected in their names. Expectation can exist, but it should be appropriate, and the basis of training should follow the basic laws of children's brain growth and development.
Why are there so many preschool classes and interest training classes for infants and young children? Because the baby's brain is underdeveloped, the cognitive level can't be compared with that of teenagers. Therefore, major businesses develop this market based on parents' thinking of "let children win at the starting line".
However, how does the teacher of the training class let the ignorant baby learn the corresponding skills? It is necessary to grasp the three "developmental peaks" of the baby's brain and guide it from shallow to deep according to the actual situation.
Therefore, if parents want to cultivate their babies, they can also start with these three brain "development peaks". So, which age groups of baby brains are "peak development"?
According to the research of Professor Richard, a psychologist at Harvard University, when the baby is in the three peak periods of brain development, parents can give some guidance to make the baby smarter.
A, 0 to 3 years old
Babies of this age are curious about the strange world and like to imitate the actions of adults and various animals. Daily chores such as eating, bathing, etc. The baby has a strong obsession with doing it independently.
In addition, the baby has spontaneously developed a sense of competition at this time, constantly comparing speed with others, winning or losing, and ranking. Every game of the baby has become an honor competition. Especially after the baby goes to kindergarten at the age of two, the desire for competition will become stronger and stronger.
When parents pick up their babies at the kindergarten gate at four o'clock every afternoon, they can always hear many babies "reward" their parents, showing off all aspects, including teachers' praise and competition with classmates.
Especially when the competition process between the baby and peers is really interesting, parents should also discover the children's gradually changing self-awareness and appropriately change the way they get along with their children.
B, 5 to 7 years old
At this time, children will become more and more lazy, and their personality will change from the initial liveliness to Buddhism. They can't afford to do things and are indifferent to success or failure. When parents see this situation, they may scold their baby at the first time.
As everyone knows, this is the baby's habit formation period. At this time, it is easy for the baby to form good habits, and it is also easy to get rid of bad habits, and even determine the formation of the baby's future habits.
C, 8 to 10 years old
The baby is in the critical period of developing learning ability. However, at this time, the baby is also familiar with the operation of entertainment facilities such as mobile phones. And these can often bring pleasure to the baby.
The arduousness and dullness of learning often make babies feel tired of learning. At this time, parents can communicate with their children calmly, understand their real thoughts and prescribe the right medicine.
If you want your baby to win at the starting line, parents don't really need to invest a lot of money in preschool or interest classes. As long as you give correct and appropriate guidance during the three peak periods of your baby's brain development, your baby will still be very smart.
So, how do parents cope with the peak of their children's development?
Respect children's ideas.
There are many parents who always interfere with all aspects of their babies in their daily lives and even help them make choices.
As big as the baby's daily arrangement, for example, some parents have to report many interest classes to their babies because they have no academic qualifications. This is obvious over-cultivation. Over-cultivation equals control, and the baby will be disgusted as an independent individual.
On the contrary, it will make parents' efforts counterproductive; As small as the baby's daily life. Many parents often choose clothes for their children tomorrow, but do children really like them? I'm afraid not.
Most of them are forced out by parents' arrogance. When a child wants to buy an item, parents always say, "This thing is not good, we don't want a baby." Force the baby to "consciously" give up and say nothing.
This is why there are so many "horse-haired men" and "good girls" now, which are actually marionettes in the hands of a group of parents. Once you leave your parents, you are often vulnerable.
Therefore, when the baby has an idea, parents should not directly deny it, but consider it. If it is really inappropriate, they can also explain it to the baby positively.
Although the decision-making power is generally in the hands of parents, explaining to the baby is at least respect for the baby's ideas, so that the baby will not be afraid or unwilling to put forward his own ideas. Can cultivate children's sense of independence.
Parents should not overprotect their children.
How can I meet a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Many parents are protecting their children when they are young. When the children fell, they got up at once. Parents are nervous for a long time when their children sneeze every day.
Under the heavy protection, children have basically not encountered any difficulties and setbacks, and a childlike innocence will become a broken blx when they grow up. When children leave home and step into the society, there is no plain sailing surprise, only the hardships of setbacks again and again.
How can children with poor psychological endurance resist the storms of society?
The moderate protection of parents is actually the greatest care for children. The baby's brain has three developmental peaks, so parents should firmly grasp it, not control it or let it go.
It is necessary to let go moderately and let the children grow up freely. Strive to correctly cultivate all-round and high-quality children at the peak of development and outline the blueprint for future happiness.
