How to educate children to study

A person's educational experience is divided into many stages, from infancy, toddlerhood, childhood, adolescence, youth to old age. The ability to absorb knowledge at each age stage is different, so different educational methods must be adopted. When we were in kindergarten, teachers would use nursery rhymes to teach us; in elementary school, teachers would use repetitive education to help us learn and remember.

Everyone has his or her own unique personality and different tendencies towards educational methods. Therefore, when educating them, we should adopt a different approach from ordinary people, and not use the same unchanging way to educate everyone. Especially in today's society, every parent attaches great importance to their children's education, so it seems that children's education is particularly important.

Early childhood education mainly refers to the education provided to children aged 3 to 6 years old. Early childhood education is the second half of preschool education or early education. The former connects with the education of infants aged 0 to 3 years old and the latter connects with primary education. It is an important and special stage in a person's education and development. "Important" means that it is the foundation period of a person's development, and many important abilities and personality traits form basic characteristics during this period; "special" means that this stage is a transitional period for children's physical and mental development from the initial indeterminate to basically fixed, and then they can begin to learn and develop according to social needs. Babies don't begin meaningful oral communication until about a year after birth. Before this, your baby relies on nonverbal communication to express his feelings and thoughts. In addition to crying as a direct form of communication, body language such as facial expressions, arm and leg movements are also possible.

Early childhood education can be divided into broad and narrow meanings. In a broad sense, any purposeful activity that can affect the physical growth and cognitive, emotional, and personality development of children, such as children watching TV, doing housework, participating in social activities under the guidance of adults, etc., can be said to be early childhood education. In a narrow sense, early childhood education refers specifically to education in kindergartens and other specially established early childhood education institutions. Kindergarten education in China belongs to the school education system. Like school education, kindergarten education also has advantages that family education and social education do not have, such as planning and systematicness.

The best period for intellectual development:

Research by American psychologist James points out that the period before the age of 5 is the fastest period of intellectual development. For an 18-year-old child to reach a normal intelligence level, 50% of the intelligence is acquired before the age of 4, 30% is acquired between the ages of 4 and 8, and 20% is acquired between the ages of 8 and 18. Research by American physiologists also shows that early childhood is the period of fastest brain physiological development. An adult's brain weighs about 1,400 grams, about 1,000 grams at the age of 4, and about 1,300 grams at the age of 8.

Japanese scholar Kishu Hisaichi pointed out that the potential abilities of children follow a decreasing law, that is, a child born with 100 points of potential ability can become a person with 100 points of ability if he is educated from birth. If he starts education at the age of 5, he can only become a person with 80 points of ability. If he starts education at the age of 10, he can only become a person with 60 points of ability.

This shows how quickly a young child’s brain develops. During the period of rapid development of children's intelligence, the role of early education is particularly important, because intelligence is closely related to education and social environment. If children are given appropriate early education with the right methods during this period, the effect can be imagined.

Early childhood education must start with small, practical things to be effective. There are also many parents who like to do everything for their children. For example, the kindergarten invites parents to watch their children compete in tying shoelaces, but some parents tell their children "this is easy" while they tie their children's shoelaces for them. Parents should let go more, allow their children to get exercise, and not let them rely on others for everything.

Many parents are afraid that their children will suffer a little bit, so they give in to their children in everything and don't let them do anything. However, you can only control them for a while, not for a lifetime. Only by teaching them survival skills can they live a better life in the future. When he does something wrong, he must be corrected in time, otherwise the habit will become a habit and the child’s education will really become a problem.
