What is the essence of calvert's educational principles?

1, Carl Witt can achieve such amazing achievements not because of his superb talent-on the contrary, he was considered a baby with some dementia after birth-but because of his father's good education. Carl's father wrote a book about Carl's education until he was 14 years old, which was an education in Calvit. The book describes in detail the core idea of his father. Whether a person can achieve something in the end, his endowment plays a certain role, but the most important thing is the acquired education. With proper education, ordinary children can grow into geniuses. Without proper education, even the greatest genius will be destroyed. He recorded the growth process, educational experience and methods of his children and put forward the concept of early education.

According to the law of decreasing children's potential, a person has an optimal period of intellectual development in the process of growing up. This optimal period is crucial and plays a decisive role in a person's intellectual development throughout his life. Don't miss it. The key to developing children's early intelligence is to seize the best period.

Children's favorite food is the best food.

How to educate children so that they can develop their abilities as soon as possible? Very simply, if the baby feels your care and caress, it means that you have been educating him. This kind of education and training is small and tedious. Give him water when he is thirsty, give him food when he is hungry, and change his diaper immediately when he is wet ... Parents should relieve their children's unhappiness anytime and anywhere and perceive their needs with the keenest senses. Being able to successfully perceive children's needs is the beginning of parents' success. This is the first successful bond between parents and children, which will provide a good emotional foundation for future education and training.

Since my son was four months old, before breast-feeding, I gave him some orange juice, and later I added banana puree, apple puree, carrot puree, green vegetable porridge and so on. After a while, I began to feed him soup, boiled eggs, potatoes and so on. Most children like to eat cereal, which is their best food. But my son doesn't like it. I think my favorite food is the best food, so I only give him my favorite food. But he was not allowed to eat meat until he was two years old.

There is a German proverb that means "a person's character depends on food". It seems that food does have something to do with people's personality. Someone once advocated "diet therapy". They say that choosing different foods can make children form different personalities. For example: give children more carrots, their teeth and skin will be beautiful; Eating potatoes can improve children's reasoning ability; Eat kidney beans; Can cultivate children's interest in art; Eating green beans is easy to form a rash character. Therefore, children who hate math can eat more potatoes, children who are not interested in art can eat more beans, irregular children can eat peas quickly, and rude children can eat cabbage quickly.

In the first half of my son's life, we insisted on feeding him and drinking water regularly, so that his biological clock was regular from the beginning. Before he can eat, he is still allowed to drink water between meals and not eat anything else, lest his stomach always get no rest and his blood always works in his stomach instead of concentrating on his brain. If the child's energy is only used for digestion, then the brain will not develop well. In addition, eating too much not only hinders brain development, but also harms children's health and is prone to gastrointestinal diseases. Someone once said, "Different stomachs can make people become optimists or misanthropists." Stomach disease can make children depressed, unhappy and unhappy, and a weak stomach will never enjoy the happiness of healthy people. Therefore, I forbid my son to eat snacks and snacks casually. Even in order to strengthen his nutrition, he has a fixed time to eat snacks.

Keep your son healthy.

When people see my son, they often say, "This child is too good to be a genius." Seems to be; They are still sticking to the old idea that "talented people get sick". However, this is groundless.

There is a saying that "a sound spirit resides in a sound body", which is well founded. It is true that some geniuses are sick, but it is not true that geniuses must be sick. This view is wrong. If those sick geniuses are healthy, they will be even greater geniuses. And there are many geniuses who are healthy, such as Webster, Bryant, Henry Bika, Karfin, Jenny Linde, Adrijana Bucky, Sarah Benhart, Giuria Ude Howe, John Wesley, Louis and alcock. These people are not only healthy, but also big and strong.

My son's health is often unexpected, because I have been training him since he was a baby.

Happiness is the key to health. I arranged the environment around my son first. The surrounding atmosphere is gloomy, and children are inevitably indigestion and unhealthy. Therefore, the room where children live should be pleasant from the beginning.

When the weather is fine, my wife and I take our son to the fields to show him the green leaves. I pay attention to let his body move freely, and don't wrap him up so as not to interfere with the free movement of his hands and feet. Don't put a scarf on him, it will distort his face. When the weather is fine, he is often allowed to sleep outside, so that he can bathe in the sunshine and breathe fresh air. When he sleeps in the house, he puts a duck down mattress on the white bed to facilitate his brother's activities. Because this activity is a baby's exercise. Therefore, when the baby sleeps, it must not be wrapped tightly like a doll.

When Carl was six weeks old, he grew up like a four-month-old child. This is the result of letting him breathe fresh air and exercise regularly. The exercise mentioned here started when he was two or three weeks old, and let him hang on a smooth wooden stick. Biological theory says: "individual development is a short repetition of overall development." Therefore, babies can be hung on sticks like apes. Of course you can't force it.

Another kind of training is to let my son hold my finger. Because the baby is born with "grasping reflex", he pulls up his upper body like a horizontal bar. Two months later, when the big reflex disappeared, his arm had been practiced quite forcefully, which created conditions for crawling training in advance.

I also cultivate children's nature to like taking a bath. If the water temperature is too high or too low, children will not take a bath, so I will pay attention to adjusting the water temperature from the beginning. My wife and I bathe our son every day and massage his hands and feet, which can not only develop his sense of touch, but also promote blood circulation and limb flexibility. Since my son was one year old, I have taught him to wash his face, wash his hands and brush his teeth several times a day, and get up early at night and brush his teeth before going to bed. After eating dry bread, let him brush his teeth and teach him to wipe his nose with a handkerchief from an early age.

In this way, after careful cultivation of nutrition and physique, Carl grew from a weak baby at birth to a healthy and lively child.

Start by training his five senses.

All the abilities of a son in infancy will never be developed if they are not used and developed. So I decided to start with training his five senses (ears, eyes, mouth, nose and skin) and stimulating brain development. Because hearing, sight, taste and touch are the physiological basis for human beings to perceive the external world. Fully stimulating children's sensory organs can promote the active activities of all parts of the brain. If all the functional areas of the child's brain play the greatest role, he will become a smart person.

Among the five senses, we must first develop the hearing of the ear, because the hearing of the baby develops earlier than the vision. Mother's sweet singing is extremely important in training listening. My son is very lucky in this respect, and his mother has a good voice. Since he was not born, he has often heard beautiful folk songs sung by his mother. Although I can't sing, I often read his poems.

Six weeks after my son was born, I gently read Virgil's poem Alice to him, and the effect was very good. Whenever I read this poem aloud, my son can immediately calm down and fall asleep quickly. With the change of poetic tone, the son's reaction is also changing. Macquarie became excited when she read Horatius on the Bridge, and became quiet when she read Tennyson's His Dream. Through the above education, my son can recite the first ten lines of the first volume of Alice and His Death at the age of one.
