With the exploration of various educational methods, various early education institutions have sprung up. So how can we choose the one that suits our children in the vast number of early education institutions? Below I summarize some standards for parents' reference.
? Can't let the children lose at the starting line? This sentence has a profound influence on China's parents. After striving for middle schools, primary schools and kindergartens, parents who want their children to succeed have turned their attention to children who have not yet gone to kindergarten.
Recently, the research group of Guangdong Women's Federation and Guangdong Family Education Research Association conducted a survey on the parents of more than 500 children aged 0-6 in five kindergartens in Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan. What influence does the misunderstanding of early education have on family education? The results of the survey were published, and it was found that although the parents of Guangdong's post-80s generation have tended to be democratic in their parenting style, their expectations of their children are generally too high. Only 30% parents want their children to develop normally, and 70% parents want their children to be extraordinary children, preferably prodigies. Is this right? A prodigy? Expectation naturally drives the development of various early education institutions. For a time, parents were dazzled by the gimmicks of early MBA and foreign listed early education institutions, and the expensive price also made parents stunned. It is necessary to educate children early, which has become the knowledge of education. The question is, how to teach children early? Can these various early education institutions really make children better? The deeper question is,? Don't let the children lose at the starting line? Is the concept reasonable? In the process of early education, parents need to master some basic concepts in order to choose an early education method suitable for their children.
What should be taught in each period?
Children of different ages have different demands, and the methods of natural early education are also different. Cultivating children's different abilities in different periods will have a multiplier effect. Feng Xiating introduced the educational methods and objectives that parents should pay attention to in three stages. ? Early education is not learning in advance. Early education is the all-round development of body, emotion, intelligence, personality and spirit. It is necessary to develop intelligence, but learning knowledge is not its goal. 0-7 years old is the fastest period of children's brain development. If this period can enrich children's lives and give them correct education according to their age characteristics, they can accelerate their intellectual development and lay the foundation for the formation of good behavior habits and personality qualities. ?
The first stage: less than one year old
Children under one year old, mainly through the care and care of their parents, the transmission of love, to eliminate his strangeness to the environment, so that he can rely on his relatives and produce emotional satisfaction.
Stage 2: 1 -3 years old
/kloc-children aged 0 to 3 should get along with their parents and relatives, so as to establish a sense of security and trust in others, the environment and themselves. Children must have the belief that the world is reliable, life is beautiful, and parents and others are trustworthy. ? Only in this way can we gain the motivation, courage and perseverance to survive. Children with a good sense of security firmly believe that I am lovely, I am loved, my existence is valuable, I have the ability to overcome difficulties and solve problems, and I trust my own judgment. ? A child with a sense of security means that children can develop themselves without external influence and interference, and will not give up their efforts easily when encountering difficulties.
Stage 3: 3 -6 years old
3-6 years old, it is necessary to appropriately increase the child's contact with the outside world, cultivate his interpersonal skills, initially cultivate his sociality, and let him play with children of the same age. When a child begins to have the will to communicate with others, parents should provide him with an interpersonal environment regardless of age, class and gender, so that he can show his true self when facing different people. At the same time, this period should conform to the natural development of children and give him a free and happy childhood.

How to tell whether an early education institution is formal?
Choosing an early education institution depends first on whether you have the qualifications to run a school. It is understood that many early education institutions are based on? Edge ball? In terms of business form, when registered in the industrial and commercial department, the company's business scope does not include early education, but in actual operation, early education activities are being carried out. It is necessary to observe whether the hardware environment is suitable for children's growth, whether it is safe, hygienic and comfortable, and think about children everywhere.
Second, it is the most basic and important factor to judge the early education curriculum whether it is age-divided education or not. The characteristics of children's early development are very different at each stage, and whether the curriculum is age-appropriate is the key to the success of early education curriculum. Because children can only improve their participation and get reasonable development by playing age-appropriate games.
Third, parents and babies have personal experience in class. Need to observe the child's interest and participation; Whether the structural design of the course is reasonable; Changes in the course game links; What role does the teacher play in the classroom, teaching according to the characteristics of children, or teaching without pertinence and uniformity; Whether the course time is sufficient and the competition time is hasty.
Finally, parents need to know the teaching plan of early education institutions. A good early education institution must have a very systematic teaching plan. Parents can generally ask to see the lesson plans of various centers. This lesson plan can ensure that the teaching quality will not be affected, because the teacher has no right to change the content and structure of the course, and the teacher's task is to implement it.
Idea 1:
Let children keep a sense of pleasure in their studies.
Montessori education law, Karl? Orff's music education law and MBA system education law are slogans played by early education institutions. When many parents see these awkward and changeable terms, the first feeling is that they are at a loss. The popularity of early education in China is not long, so parents often lack a systematic understanding of early education institutions, and can only judge the qualifications of early education institutions through hardware equipment, these seemingly beautiful educational concepts and even prices.
According to a survey, there are thousands of early education institutions of different sizes in Guangzhou alone, and the fees for each class range from 50 yuan to 250 yuan, among which the fees of foreign early education brands are the highest. If you attend a full set of courses such as parent-child classes, perception training classes and rhythm classes, the annual cost is usually more than 10,000 yuan. ? It's really more expensive than an MBA course. ? Parents are emotional.
Where is this expensive early education? According to Jessie, the education director of an early education institution in Guangzhou, the average course cost is about 100 yuan/session, and a set of courses needs nearly 10,000 yuan per year. ? After all, our cost is very high, because most teaching AIDS are imported from abroad, one set costs more than 450 thousand, and the salary of professional teachers accounts for 40% of our income. ? Jesse said that the quality of early education institutions depends largely on teachers. Good teachers will make curriculum plans for each child according to their age and personality characteristics, and will also maximize the potential of children from simple projects. ? For example, blowing bubbles is a simple game: learn the first order and let children learn to feel; In the second stage, the child's sight will move with the bubble to train the child's vision; In the third grade, children will try to touch on tiptoe and train their balance and coordination skills; In the fourth grade, let the baby find that you can break bubbles in different ways by poking with your hand, stepping on your foot and using your head. This is to train children to find solutions to problems. Then cultivate children's imaginative thinking and logical thinking. ?
Although early education institutions are not unreasonably expensive, is the more expensive the better? Is foreign early education better than local science? In this regard, Mai Zhiqiang, a professor at the School of Education Science of South China Normal University, said that the methods and progress of education should vary from person to person, and the key is to make children in a happy and relaxed state during the learning process. ? For example, there is a controversy in the recently published draft of "Guidelines for Learning and Development of Children Aged 3-6": for preschool children aged 5-6, only the addition and subtraction within 10 are needed. How about teaching children arithmetic within 100? Parents should grasp the scale. For example, for some children, it may be pleasant and relaxing, but for another, it may become a burden. ?
Idea 2:
Don't blindly pursue letting children win at the starting line.
? Can my children become smart? How many words can you recognize when the child comes? Can you teach in English? The staff of an early education institution told the reporter that this was the most frequently asked question by parents at the consultation meeting, although the staff repeatedly explained that early education was not to teach children knowledge, but to cultivate their basic quality. But some parents still think that developing potential is the so-called? Child prodigy education? You must know how many Tang poems your child can recite, how many words he can know and how many sentences he can say in English, so that the money can be spent well.
Don't let children lose at the starting line, which is the creed of many parents. However, what many people ignore is, what is? Is it the starting line to enter a good primary school, middle school and university? If we take this as a benchmark, the early education mode of learning mathematics, literacy and other skills training is of course the most suitable. However, few parents report that although this skill education may help their children get into a good primary school, middle school or even university, in the whole life stage, school education is only a small part of their children's life, and learning knowledge is very important, but how to adapt to society and how to communicate with others is far from being fully included in school education.
Feng Xiating is an associate professor at the Institute of Educational Science of South China Normal University, isn't she? Don't let the children lose at the starting line? This statement is reserved. She believes that this concept is actually a reflection of an impetuous mentality of quick success and instant benefit in society. Everyone wants their children to learn all kinds of skills from the beginning, which may be because China families pay more attention to the early cultivation of certain skills of their children in order to take the initiative in the later school education. This may be related to the pressure of further education in China. If children want to enter a famous university, they need to attend a good middle school, primary school and kindergarten. Therefore, some impetuous parents continue to advance their children's study time, and even instill knowledge such as art and English in early education. ? Just because you start studying early doesn't mean that you will be better than others in mastering knowledge and dealing with people in the future. The starting line has nothing to do with the process and the end point. ?
What should early education teach? Li Sixian, Ph.D. in Psychology, Department of Preschool Education, South China Normal University, said? The significance of early education is to help parents grasp the baby's sensitive period in time and help the baby feel new things together. 0-3 years old is an important stage of baby's brain development. During this period, whether you can receive enough stimulation is very beneficial to your child's future development. For example, some parents wait until their children are 3 years old to realize that their baby's language skills are slower than their peers. This may be because parents didn't give enough stimulation during the sensitive period of children's language, and missed the best period for children to develop their language potential. ?
Idea 3:
No matter how good early education is, it can't replace words and deeds.
? After 80? Parents usually have a lot of work pressure and don't have much time to take care of their children, so that? Parenting from generation to generation? The situation is extremely common. Some parents think that putting their children in early education institutions can save a lot of trouble, give them a better learning environment, and at the same time reduce the burden on parents. For this statement, Shang Jie, an expert in early childhood education who has many years of experience, thinks that in early childhood education institutions, children can form good habits in a collective atmosphere, which parents can't do through one-on-one education. Furthermore, when children study and play together, they can imitate each other's advantages, learn how to get along and cooperate with others, and adapt to society more quickly. ? But this does not mean that early education can replace parents' words and deeds. ? Shang Jie believes that early education is not so much to teach children as to teach parents. Only when parents make progress can children make progress. ? Early education is not everything. Parents and children have classes together, and after returning home, they have to practice what they have learned repeatedly in their daily lives. If parents can't persevere and apply what they have learned, then early education will not be effective. ?
Experts generally believe that as a long-standing education method, parents' words and deeds have a far-reaching impact on their children, which is irreplaceable even by the best early education institutions. ? Most of these early education institutions are separated from the community and run schools independently. In fact, early education should integrate children into the community where they live, be closer to their own homes, make them related to the life and changes around the community, have the opportunity to contact people of different ages in the community, and let them have love and confidence in the environment where they grew up. ? Feng Xiating believes that parents should not throw their children to early education institutions, but if they have time, they should try their best to assume the responsibility of education.
Early education? Daren? In Zhang's view, it won't take long to educate children, and even it can be completely integrated with daily life. For example, when teaching children mental arithmetic, mother Deng will make coins of different currencies with small cards and treat some toys as carrots, pork and mushrooms. , and then tell the children: You prepare a meal with 10 yuan, and you must have meat, vegetables and soup. ? Then, she became a small owner of the vegetable market, and Niu Niu came to buy food? Teacher milk? Use 10 yuan to buy different things from her, which contain many small changes. Niu Niu will gradually master the mental arithmetic method. ? After all, there are many children in early education institutions, and it is impossible to deeply understand the needs of children. If learning is integrated into life in family education and appropriate encouragement is given, children can easily establish a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence, and in this process, communication between parents and children is naturally formed. ? Mother Deng said that as long as parents have enough patience to insist on interacting with their children every day, this effect will last longer than spending money to attend classes in early education institutions several times a week.
