In recent years, scientific research has continuously shown that the younger a child is, the stronger his learning ability is.
Pre-school education before the age of 6 is right brain learning (perceptual learning), which belongs to intuitive training, that is, the training of subconscious ability. After the age of 6, it is left brain learning (rational learning), which is the training of consciousness ability.
Children before the age of 6 don't care about repetition and monotony. Their rich imagination can turn monotonous information into interesting things. He doesn't mind listening to the same story every day, although he is familiar with it and can help his parents correct the wrong links.
The ability of human brain depends on the size of the connecting network composed of neurons. The connection network is generated according to external stimuli, and a person completes the main network connection development work before 12 years old. Therefore, learning in early childhood is the foundation and the most important.
(B) 6 to 12 years old, with cognitive formation.
A child is a "machine" that constantly learns and corrects from birth to 12 years old. They have unlimited energy and are interested in many new things. Children's performance is often; If you won't listen, you won't be able to sit still for a while. The more you tell him not to move, the more energetic and changeable he is.
In fact, all these show that the child is normal. He is trying to play and use the "learning machine" in his body, giving himself the most opportunities to absorb knowledge, learn and cultivate his ability.
After the age of 6, children began to learn more things with their left brain. The following are the things that children need to pay attention to at this stage:
1, right brain learning, mainly training children to absorb and create things as a whole.
This is an extremely important basic information. At this stage, it is very important for children to understand their feelings and accept their emotions for the next stage of cognitive learning.
2. The "truth" of things needs to be inferred, which is the work of the left brain.
Children begin to develop left brain learning when they are 6 years old, so it is useless to reason with children under 6 years old. When teaching children under 6 to do something, we should emphasize the feeling of happiness and happiness. At this time, children can listen and emphasize what is best for them, which helps to cultivate discipline. Children over 6 years old should be taught to understand the logic of things. This requires proper training, so that children can develop good abstract thinking ability step by step.
3. The connection network (intelligence) composed of children's neurons is much stronger than that of adults, but the expression ability is much weaker than that of adults.
Children can feel and perceive the existence of things, such as discord and anxiety between parents, but if parents don't bring things up for discussion, or even hide them, children will think that things can't be brought up for discussion, and in fact they lack the expression ability to discuss them well, resulting in some wrong judgments in their hearts, some wrong beliefs, values and codes of conduct, which may have a bad impact on their lives. If parents can understand this, they should try not to hide things, and also understand the fact that children's expressive ability is weak. Don't hide anything when talking to children, but help them express their inner meaning correctly.
Naughty is actually that children are learning.
6- 12 children are naughty, constantly creating new tricks, don't like reading, sit still and walk unsteadily, and many parents feel very tired. Contact with every new thing is a new stimulus to neurons and will promote some new developments in intelligence. Or want children to develop good neurons, in addition to adequate nutrition, the most important thing is adequate stimulation. Therefore, when children are constantly looking for new things and trying new behaviors, they are most stimulated and their brains develop best.
Children need to learn manners.
While developing their brains, children also need to learn manners, know how to behave when they get along with others, and tell them the value of being respected, accepted and affirmed because of politeness.
6. Pay attention to the use of children's activity time.
Nowadays, electronic products are very rich, and many children are kidnapped by these high-tech products. These products need stimulation, but more is to get children together, learn how to communicate with others, establish interpersonal relationships, evaluate self-worth, get support, resolve conflicts and suggest harmonious relationships.
