Different from time to time: different ways of early education for different stages of babies

In many people’s minds, early education is about making sure that children don’t lose at the starting line, so the earlier they start, the better. It is true that from the day your baby is born, early education has already begun. But early education is divided into ages, different stages of different early education methods. Early education refers to the psychological as well as physical targeting of children from 0 to 6 years old. The concept of early childhood education for 0-6 year olds should also change with the increase in age, after all, children of different ages have a lot of physical and psychological changes, so it is necessary to take different methods of early childhood education for different age groups with targeted. 0-6 year olds are divided into two periods: infants and toddlers, each of which is subdivided into different stages. Infancy I. 0 to 6 months, parents can teach their children to build an attachment to their parents, so that he is full of security. The child is already learning to adapt to the external environment during these first months of life, and is gradually regulating meal times, sleep cycles, etc. At this stage, it is most important for them to feel comfortable, safe and protected so that the child can learn better and establish better connections with people they like. Second, from 7 to 9 months, the child’s curiosity begins to emerge. At this stage, children begin to understand cause and effect, how they can contribute to desired outcomes, and they use their gradually increasing skills to feel the world around them. Children enjoy crawling around the house and grasping favorite objects, trying to stand up or hold on to things for a few steps; beginning to solve simple problems, such as picking up a toy that has fallen on the floor; often babbling and using multiple gestures to express themselves, and further communicating with favorite people. But when a child tries a brand new experience, he or she needs the company of parents, which is very important for cognizing the laws of the world, developing communication skills, and fostering a sense of competition and self-confidence. Third, 10 to 12 months, further stimulate the child’s spirit of exploration. At this stage, children have become “sophisticated” communicators, and they are good at using gestures and movements to express what they want. When children communicate with their parents, parents need to respond and let their children know that what they say is important, because two-way communication not only develops the child’s intelligence, but also further stimulates the child’s spirit of exploration. Although children cannot yet express themselves in words, they can already understand what their parents are saying. If you ask him where the puppy is, he will point it out. Children also convey ideas to their parents through sounds, movements and gestures. If they come to their parents with a storybook, it means they want to hear a story; if they point at something new and look at their parents, it is as if they are asking “what is this? Typical behavior is to throw a tantrum and cry when they don’t get what they want. Parents should reasonably adjust their expectations and requirements for their children at this time, they can show their children what behavior is correct, but do not insist that the child must do; when the child throws a tantrum or cries, they can take a cold approach, ignore him, not to mention compromise. At this time, parents must stay near the child until the child stops crying, and then reason with him. It is not advocated to punish the child, nor should the child be left alone in the room to repent, but the crying child can be taken to a quiet place to calm him down slowly. Second, 2 to 3 years old, this age may be more capricious, for example, parents ask the child to wash up before going to bed. However, parents should not expect their children to be cooperative all the time because they will understand the concept of cause and effect after performing such behavior a few times, and later on, they will not listen to their parents because they are lazy and sometimes get angry or cry and whine. At this point parents should not punish the child for not sticking to it, but show great appreciation for every effort he makes. If this is not possible, you can impose a small punishment on the child, such as facing the wall for 3 minutes, so that he realizes the seriousness of the matter. Third, 3 to 4 years old, this age children’s social skills will continue to develop, and perhaps become more capricious. When they are playing enthusiastically, it becomes extra difficult to make them put down their toys or stop playing because they are more aware of what they lack and what they want, so they will complain in a more intense way. Parents should give their children plenty of time to end the game and then do another thing, not to force them to end the game, which will only add to the problem and make things worse. Fourth, 4 to 5 years old, this age of children have been able to understand the specific requirements of parents, they are beginning to learn to put themselves in the shoes of others; can already know how to follow the rules, but also can do some simple household chores. Although still far from the desired goal, children are better able to control their impulses by age 5 than before. They rarely slam doors, hit people, or cry out if their desires are not met. This is not a time for parents to take it lightly, but to seize the opportunity to teach their children, they can try to broaden their perspectives. For example, ask your child, “Do you like it when people do this to you?” Then tell the child what the consequences of his behavior will be for others, and explain clearly to the child why it is important to follow the rules of behavior. Then set limits so that the child understands the importance of self-control. For example, tell him, “You have three minutes to stop crying and screaming or you will have to stay in your room by yourself and not be allowed to play with your toys.” All these can better regulate the child and make him develop good habits from an early age. Fifth, 5 to 6 years old, this age group is basically receiving school education, whether it is preschool or primary education, they spend more time with their peers and less time with their parents instead. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their children’s behavioral actions and whether they are in a normal state in his interactions with other children. Why do I say this? That’s because some children act scared when they go to kindergarten and are afraid to get in touch with other children, and this will affect their social skills in the long run. Parents should focus on developing their children’s character and their ability to interact with others at this stage. In short, parents need to look at their children with a developmental perspective. For different age groups, parents should grasp the focus of education for each age group of children and take different approaches to educate them. Character determines destiny, so from a young age group training methods can better shape the child’s character, so that children have a better life in the future.
