Does your child attend public or private kindergarten? Is there any content from elementary school that can be started in kindergarten? \”My child\’s grades have always been very good before, but since he entered third grade, his grades have declined.\” I believe many parents have heard this voice or have had similar concerns. After observation and analysis, we found that many of these children have already been exposed to primary school knowledge in kindergarten. So why does studying in advance cause such a problem? 01 The essence of kindergarten education Kindergarten is the first step for children to enter society and an important place for them to explore the world and understand themselves. At this stage, we should not only focus on how much knowledge the children have learned, but also whether they are happy, healthy, and have formed good habits. Because these are their most valuable assets on their future growth path. 02 Be wary of “advanced education”. With the progress of society and the renewal of educational concepts, parents are paying more and more attention to their children’s education. They hope that their children can win at the starting line and become leaders in society. However, in this process, we also need to be wary of the trap of “advanced education”. \”Advanced education\”, as the name suggests, is to teach children knowledge beyond their abilities in advance before they reach the corresponding age. This practice is particularly common during the kindergarten years. In order to cater to the needs of parents, many kindergartens have begun to teach first grade content in advance. However, is this approach really good for children? 03 The dangers of “advanced education” Let us first look at a story. After World War II, Germany put forward two completely different educational concepts in order to rebuild the country. One advocates that children start learning all kinds of knowledge when they are very young, while the other advocates letting children play freely and then start learning when they reach a certain age. In order to verify the effectiveness of these two concepts, the German government decided to implement both education methods at the same time. The result was beyond everyone\’s expectation. Children who start learning early do well in the early grades, but as they grow older, their grades begin to decline and their interest in learning gradually diminishes. For those children who start learning later, although their grades are not as good as the former at first, as time goes by, their grades are getting better and better, and their enthusiasm for learning is also getting higher and higher. This story tells us that \”advanced education\” is not as wonderful as we imagined. In kindergarten, children\’s brains and bodies are still developing. Putting learning pressure on them prematurely will not only suppress their nature, but may also cause them to become tired of learning. What\’s more, this kind of squandering will not be beneficial to the child\’s growth in the long run. 04 Establish a correct concept of education Therefore, we should re-examine the purpose of kindergarten education. Kindergarten should not be a place for children to learn primary school knowledge in advance, but a paradise for them to grow up happily. Here, children can explore the world, understand themselves, develop interests, and form habits through games, activities, etc. These are their most valuable assets on their future growth path. At the same time, we also need to guide parents to establish correctcorrect educational concepts. The growth of a child is a long process that requires patience and waiting. Putting learning pressure too early will only be counterproductive and affect children\’s physical and mental health and long-term development. We should believe in children\’s abilities and give them enough space and time to grow and explore. Written at the end: Let us work together to create a better kindergarten life for the children. Let them grow happily and thrive here!
