Let science early education act!

“I will receive a lot of modern parenting ideas on WeChat every day, but my mother-in-law insists on her traditional experience. Who should I listen to?” The topic of science parenting, 80-year-old mother Xiao Li Tucao said that she was caught in “child care”. There is too much information and there is no choice of "distress".

In this regard, Wang Ligang, a doctoral and master's tutor at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that many young parents have been paying attention to various information since they were pregnant. After the birth of their children, they are faced with “tasks” at every stage. They always want their children. Grow the best. Coupled with the lack of professional discernment and judgment, in the face of the vast amount of information in the WeChat era, even more overwhelmed, and even anxious. "If science does not teach early, all kinds of untested opinions will be filled in the media, so that these young parents are overwhelmed." Wang Ligang firmly believes that only the sound of scientific parenting will spread, and the "new parenting tradition" will be slow. Slow formation will also reduce the chance of conflicts between mother and daughter due to inconsistent parenting concepts. "For example, in the past, few people in China really fell down to listen to their children, and now more and more parents can listen to children, which is a good trend."

"For children's growth, science early education is not a luxury, but a necessity. Educators should aim at the child's happiness and growth, and must not be utilitarian based on the hope that the child will have a future. Every child, regardless of The family is still poor and rich, whether born in the city or in the countryside, it is a fresh life when it falls to the ground. It is the responsibility of the early education workers to keep every child from starting at the beginning of life. The Secretary-General of the Research Center, Mr. Yan Minglang, is pleased that the new generation of parents are fond of learning advanced concepts. The status quo of early education in China has undergone great changes and is developing rapidly in a positive and good direction. There is a future in the future," said Yu Minglang.

Early education should pay attention to the inner growth of children

"Early education should be based on the psychological characteristics of children aged 0-3 to educate life and learning activities, so that children can form good emotional self-control and motivation for learning." Mei Jian, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Psychological Association, believes The purpose of early education is not to let children learn knowledge prematurely, but to lay the foundation for cultivating children's ability for the next 50 years. For example, Mei Jian said that in 2017, several experts found out from a group of experimental data that the most important factors affecting children's adulthood are behavioral emotion self-control and learning motivation, and these two factors have far more influence on children's future development than recognition. The influence of knowledge. "So, scientific early education should focus on the child's inner growth, including learning to express psychological emotions, learning to wait, etc." Mei Jian said.

"A person can only have stronger and stronger adaptability in the future society if he is strong enough inside. What is gratifying is that more and more parents are now paying attention to the psychological education of young children." Wang Ligang, deputy director of the Institute of Infant and Children's Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Researchers also believe that psychological education has great value in early education. Wang Ligang has been exposed to many cases in his work. He found that many young people with strong body have a "glass heart": the ability to withstand pressure is too low, and the heart is very fragile and sensitive.

However, in the consultation, there are very few parents who ask the child what the origin of the "glass heart" is. Wang Ligang said that if he used to, he would analyze the inferiority and stimulating events that the child encountered in his growing experience and find out the problem. Now he finds that the fundamental problem of these "glass hearts" is not because the children are too weak, but because the small partners around them are too strong.

“There is no harm without comparison. In the process of early education, focusing on the control and guidance of children’s emotions can make a reserve for the child’s future psychological development, which is more useful than letting him learn more.”

The most important thing in science early education is to pay attention to the individual psychological development of infants and young children.

Dr. Wang Ligang, an associate researcher at the Institute of Infant and Children's Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, emphasized the importance of psychological education for infants and young children. He vividly explores the problem of low resistance to stress among many young people today by exploring the glass heart. What is the origin of this problem? How do children with strong inner strengths and greater adaptability come from? Tolstoy said, "Happy families are similar, and unfortunate families have their own misfortunes." Similarly, how a child's development becomes a powerful person with rich mental energy is Similar, there are rules to be found. This suggests that it is very necessary for us to reserve the child's psychological development in the early stage of infant education. Now is a time of diversification, and there is a higher demand for the development of everyone. We need every child to learn for life, which is a new requirement.

Although artificial intelligence is increasingly replacing humans, the biggest difference between humans and artificial intelligence is that we have a mental development. Therefore, the most important thing in science early education is the development of individual psychological quality of infants and young children. Popularly speaking, it is the psychological construction and psychological expansion of infants and young children. For babies, 0 to 6 years old is especially important. Because this is the first stage of construction and expansion of the children's psychology. As the saying goes: "Three years old, small, seven years old." The characteristic early education work should pay more attention to the development of children's psychological quality. We must not mistake the early childhood education as the only parent, but only the parents, can not copy, can not be imposed on the child.

The so-called education is the foundation of the country. Now it is a diversified era. The society is developing fast and the individual requirements are high. This requires the children to have a strong inner heart. In this respect, the building block baby science early education pays attention to the psychological construction and psychological development of infants and young children, and focuses on the early education concept of children's psychology, which is worth promoting. The work of science early education has a long way to go. With the opportunity of the 2017 Science Early Education Conference, the development of China's localized early education has further clarified the direction and embarked on a new commanding height for “science”.
