Improve overall ability
Ripple: My baby is 17 months old, and has been in an early childhood class since she was 1 year old. Since I am bringing up my baby alone, attending the early education class can let him come into contact with more people, things and objects, increase his knowledge and broaden his horizons. Moreover, the early childhood education class is a purposeful game based on the different age characteristics of babies. Learning in the game can improve the baby's motor development, cognitive ability, language ability and so on. In addition, parent-child education is to play and learn with parents, invariably strengthening the parent-child relationship, so that the baby grows and progresses in a warm and happy environment.
After attending an early childhood class, my child has slowly learned to play games with others, and knows how to say "thank you" when he receives an item handed to him, and his language skills and boldness have also improved.
Preparing for kindergarten
Marie: I'm going to enroll in a parenting class before my baby goes to kindergarten because my baby's interpersonal circle is very small right now, and he lacks the social experience of interacting with children his own age. Let the baby to participate in kindergarten parenting classes, the baby will be in a relaxed state to familiarize with the kindergarten environment and work and rest time, and feel and teachers, children and activities with the collective life, so as to formally enter the kindergarten to be fully prepared.

More things you can't learn in an early childhood class
Baby's mom: I don't think there's a need for an early childhood class. The reason is: 1. The child's language, movement and other abilities do need to be cultivated, but more things such as good behavior, etc., are learned by osmosis, not through several times a week of parent-child activities can be learned. 2. Some must be in the group activities can be learned, such as interpersonal communication, the spirit of collaboration, etc., through the parents of the arrangement will also be slowly formed. 3. For example, classmates, colleagues, neighbors have a lot of children of the same age, it is entirely possible to turn the adult party into a family gathering. 3. Parent-child games are even simpler, parents can play with their children at home, and the choice of options is much greater. 4. Early childhood education classes are for profit, but the love of parents for their children is not early childhood education classes. When you play with your parents, a look from them and a word of encouragement is a great encouragement to your child.
Not cost-effective
Lynn: There are a lot of early childhood classes nowadays, and after researching and examining them, I didn't enroll my child. Early childhood classes are more expensive and require parental accompaniment, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and it remains to be seen how effective they really are. I think it is important not to add extra burden to your child on the days when he is least burdened. A child's growth is a matter of course and does not need extra pressure. Compared to those children who grew up in parenting classes, my child is not losing out to them, and is even stronger than them in many areas. This is not to discredit the achievements of all early childhood classes, but just to think that early childhood classes are not a mandatory choice.
Expert opinion
Whether to attend an early childhood class or not, parents can decide according to their own situation. If the child is willing to go, parents also have time, not reluctant to do so. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that your child has a good understanding of what is going on in the world, and that he or she has a good understanding of what is going on in the world. This is not only the parents tired, the good intention is also therefore tasteless.
To have a calm mind to look at the parent-child class, do not expect too much, that the child on the early childhood education class must be outstanding than the children who do not. A lot of things are a subtle influence, it is not possible to see the obvious effect in the short term, and not a week of early childhood classes can achieve the purpose, more or more parents need to communicate with their children on weekdays and exchanges.
