In recent years, with the policy of eugenics and better education, more and more parents have begun to pay attention to preschool education (children education). If they want to start from the starting line, their children will be ahead. It is also natural to expect children to become dragons and women to become phoenixes. After all, Parents in the world.

As a student who has studied preschool education for seven years and nearly eight years (internships in different Grade A kindergartens during this period), let’s talk a little bit about this topic which is similar to the legendary “medical” study years. Please correct me if something is wrong, thank you.

What is preschool education (early childhood education)? The omnipotent Du Niang gave the following explanation:

As written above, many people think that the age of children for pre-school education is 0–6 years old. But in fact, the education of children aged 0–3 is subdivided into infant and toddler education, and the real “preschool education” is the education of children aged 3–6.
As we all know, my country’s current preschool education-related policies are not as complete as those in foreign countries. Not only parents, but now even the government has also realized the weakness of my country’s preschool education-related policies. For this reason, in recent years, the country’s vigorous development of preschool education has been Advocate and publish a book on the development of pre-school education in accordance with my country’s national conditions-”3–6 Years Old Children’s Learning and Development Guide”.

“3–6 Years Old Children’s Learning and Development Guide” aims to lay a good quality foundation for children’s subsequent learning and life-long development, and promotes the coordinated development of children’s physical, intellectual, moral and aesthetic aspects as the core, helping kindergarten teachers and parents Understand the basic laws and characteristics of 3–6 year old children’s learning and development.

Speaking of kindergarten teachers, perhaps many people will subconsciously think about “kindergarten teacher beating their children”, “kindergarten teachers abusing children” and so on. What follows is that many parents will start to worry about whether their children will be in kindergarten. Something like this happened. It is true that the endless “kindergarten teachers abuse children” and other news in the past few years have not only made all parents worry about their children, but also made us students who are studying this major and planning to be kindergarten teachers anxious because of this. The black sheep will make parents’ confidence in us drop a lot, and will also affect the evaluation of the profession of “kindergarten teacher” from the outside world.

However, please believe that there are only a few kindergarten teachers who will make such extreme incidents. The vast majority of kindergarten teachers choose this profession after graduating from school because they love children from the bottom of their hearts. There are good people and bad people in all walks of life. , Can’t be generalized, right? I didn’t deliberately clean up the “kindergarten teacher”, but just discuss the matter. After all, everyone is an adult, and I believe it can still be objective.

Continue to talk about preschool education.

Pre-school education is related to the development of tens of millions of children in our country, and entrusts the hope of tens of millions of families for a better life in the future. Many studies have shown that children’s good development in physical, social, language, and cognition benefits not only children’s individuals and their families, but also the entire society, country, and nation. However, judging from the current situation, China’s early childhood education still faces many problems in meeting the needs of children, children’s families, and society. This is prominently reflected in the large gap in the quality of urban and rural early childhood education, the low level of professionalism of teachers, and the serious tendency of early childhood education to be primary schooled. There are many misunderstandings in the concept of early childhood education and education methods. The concept of education, children, and development in the whole society is quite chaotic, which has caused many anti-science and pseudo-scientific practices to become popular, seriously damaging the physical and mental health of children, and so on. From what I’ve learned, parents’ thoughts about their children’s hopes of becoming a dragon and daughters are actually understandable, but they are a little impatient (of course, there are also some psychology that accompany comparisons). This is understandable. Looking at other people’s homes. My children are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are afraid that their children will be eliminated by the society because they do not have these specialties… But in fact, understand the basic laws and characteristics of 3–6 years old children’s learning and development, and establish reasonable expectations for children’s development. It is not difficult to implement scientific conservation and education to allow children to have a happy and meaningful childhood.

Here I would like to mention Gesell’s twin experiment (readers who don’t know can find a omnipotent mother, I won’t repeat it). Scientific research shows that the development of children has her peculiar laws. With the increase of children’s age, she The cognitive ability will be developed naturally, without deliberate exercise, and the final result is actually the same. Many parents worry about why some children are so good at maths, but their own children are not. In fact, everyone has individual differences. Maybe your child is not good at math, but is good at Chinese and English? They are all very normal. After all, geniuses are very few, so they have to put their minds well.

In fact, many times, we are defining a simple answer for a child from the perspective of adult judgment, and then giving the child a meaning that cannot be carried. And children are children after all. They live in the present, in their own innocent world. We use adult standards to magnify the meaning of children’s behavior and add a lot of judgments. It is often easy to embarrass children in the exchanges that should be full of caring, enjoy pleasant interactions, expand children’s imagination and creativity, and make young minds have to bear spiritual depression, indifference and exile that they should not have.

Why do we have to give meaning to their words and deeds? They are just children.

Children do not have innocence and pure heart at their age, but are as smooth and considerate as adults. Are they still children?
