My cousin and her husband had another fight yesterday. The reason is that my cousin wants her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter to go to kindergarten as early as possible. To this end, she compared many private schools, but her husband felt that the child was still young and there was no need to go to school so early. My cousin said, \”We can\’t let our children lose at the starting line!\” Does it mean that if a child enters school early, he will win at the starting line? not necessarily. Going to kindergarten one year later may change the trajectory of a child\’s life. Entering kindergarten too early can easily hurt a child\’s \”heart\”. Educator Steve Biddulph said: \”Sending children under three years old to nurseries will increase the risk of damaging their normal psychological development.\” My colleague Xiang\’s son went to kindergarten before he was two years old, and there were many problems. . Almost every week, Sister Xiang receives a call from the teacher. Either the child pooped his pants and asked for a gift, or the child hit someone and asked to see the parents. Every time Sister Xiang sent her son to kindergarten, she had to resort to \”violent\” methods. The son hugged her legs and cried, and the teacher pried off his hands and carried him into the classroom. After one year of kindergarten, the child even became irritable. Psychologist Lamb studied 3,000 young children and found that in the first 9 months of kindergarten, the stress hormone (cortisol level) in children\’s bodies was twice that of children of the same age who were not in day care. Moreover, the younger the child enters day care, the greater the stress level. Data released on World Mental Health Day in 2018 show that the incidence of psychological abnormalities among school-age children in my country reaches 15.6%, and about 30 million children are troubled by various emotional disorders and behavioral problems. Psychiatrist Li Zhiyong believes that the reason for the high incidence of mental illness in children is directly related to the adequacy of parents\’ emotional support for children in their infancy. Children who leave their parents early and go to kindergarten are more likely to develop psychological problems. A recent study in the United States also pointed out that no matter how good the nursery is, children who stay in nursery earlier or for a longer period of time are more likely to have aggressive behaviors and be less obedient. Children before the age of 3 are in the parent-child attachment stage. It is best to be raised mainly by the family and stay with their parents more often. No matter how good the kindergarten is, it is not as warm as the family; no matter how good the teacher is, it is not as loving as the parents; no matter how much you learn, it is better to enjoy the love of your parents first. What happened to those \”prodigies with advanced education\”? In order to prevent their children from \”losing at the starting line\”, some parents are eager to let their children learn knowledge and advance education. He can recite poetry at the age of one, can read at the age of two, and can speak English at the age of three. Such \”prodigies with advanced education\” are not uncommon. What happened to them later? There is a child prodigy named Jerry in Wuhan. His mother signed him up for 17 training classes at a cost of 120,000 yuan. He completed the second grade of elementary school at the age of five and won an award for his English drama performance. When he was in first grade, he studied very easily. He knew everything the teacher taught him and his grades were very good. However, in the second grade, due to not paying attention to the lectures, studying became more and more difficult, I began to feel tired of studying, and my grades plummeted. Many education experts have said that advanced education should not be carried out, as advanced education can easily cause children to become tired of learning. There is also the young genius Zhang Xinyang, who knew more than 2,000 Chinese characters at the age of two; completed the six-year course of primary school in two years; skipped grades in junior high school and high school; was admitted to Tianjin Engineering College at the age of 10; and later became the youngest master\’s student at Beijing University of Technology born. Zhang Xinyang seems to have become a learning machine, exceptLearning is a strong point, and many other aspects are weak points. He was not good at socializing with his classmates, was selfish and vain, and even forced his parents to buy him a house in Beijing. Zhang Xinyang is called by netizens \”a giant with IQ and a dwarf with emotional intelligence.\” His parents\’ blind encouragement prevented Zhang Xinyang\’s knowledge and mind from developing simultaneously, resulting in a tragedy in his personality. There is also Zhang Fang from Shanghai. Under the guidance of his father, he was admitted to the Youth Class of the University of Science and Technology of China at the age of 13 and became a sensation. After graduation, I repeatedly ran into obstacles when looking for a job. I still didn\’t find a formal job until I was nearly 50 years old. Zhang Fang said: \”What I regret most is that I did not go to school at a normal age. I will not let my son take the path I did.\” When Chen Baosheng, the Minister of Education, mentioned the issue of advanced education at the two sessions, he particularly emphasized: \”Students It is a piece of white paper, handed to the teacher, so that the teacher can draw the latest and most beautiful pictures. Before that, children were drawn in various ways from left to right, which will affect the healthy growth of children.\” Parents lead their children to break the rules and \”get away\” \”If you violate the rules of your child\’s growth, you will have to pay a price. Please don’t let your children rush to the starting line, “fall” in the middle of the race, or lose before the finish line. Going to kindergarten one year later is a growth gift for your children. Huo Siyan and Du Jiang\’s son, Humph, had not yet entered kindergarten when he was four years old. Huo Siyan has her own ideas about this. She strongly agrees that children should go to kindergarten later, especially boys, who need to spend more time with their families. She insisted that \”going to kindergarten one year later is the best gift for boys.\” In the program, Uh-huh was arranged to experience going to kindergarten. When Uh-huh first arrived in kindergarten, he communicated generously with his friends and shared egg tarts. He took the egg tarts and delivered them to his classmates one by one. There was only the last egg tart left, and Humph also proposed in a very heart-warming and witty way to divide the small egg tart into three parts, and he, his father and the teacher would each take a small piece. When children are older and go to kindergarten, they have stronger adaptability in all aspects and can transition to the collective life of kindergarten more quickly. My daughter was sent to kindergarten when she was four years old and went directly to middle school. From beginning to end, she never cried once when she went to kindergarten. When she saw her classmates crying after being separated from their mother, she even took the initiative to comfort them, saying, \”Mom will pick you up soon.\” On the first day of my daughter\’s kindergarten, I saw a video posted by the teacher. She generously held a book Picture books, tell stories to the whole class of children. The teacher said that she is very confident and gets along well with the children. Self-care ability is also good. I am very happy that I chose to let her enter kindergarten one year later. The Stanford University Educational Research Institute has collaborated with Professor Thomas Dee for many years and published an authoritative paper stating that a child going to kindergarten one year later will be of great benefit to both his current self-management ability and his future growth. Children who enter kindergarten one year later will not lose at the starting line. Instead, they will start from a higher starting point and run more steadily and faster, making it less likely to \”fall over.\” The famous \”Matthew Effect\” reveals the phenomenon that \”the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker\”. Children who enter kindergarten one year later perform better in all aspects, are more likely to receive the attention and love of teachers, have stronger self-confidence, and become better. vice versa. A child entering kindergarten one year later may change the trajectory of his or her life. Allow children to mature step by steplong. Psychologist Gesell has a famous \”Twin Ladder Experiment\”. The experimenters were 46-week-old twins A and B. Gesell asked A to practice climbing a ladder for 10 minutes every day. After 6 weeks, A could climb a five-step ladder in only 26 seconds, while B, who had never practiced climbing a ladder, needed 45 seconds. Next, Gesell asked A and B to do two weeks of ladder training at the same time. As a result, B overtook A and climbed up the 5th step in just 10 seconds. A has trained for a total of 8 weeks, while B has only trained for 2 weeks. Why does B surpass A? Gesell analyzed: “It is too early to start practicing climbing the ladder at 46 weeks, so the training only achieves the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort; starting climbing the ladder at 52 weeks is the right time, and the child is ready to mature, so the training achieves the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. \”Children go to kindergarten one year earlier and one year later, and receive preschool education earlier and later, just like the twins climbing the ladder. Preschool education is not about how early you start, but whether the time is right, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. German law explicitly prohibits pre-school education, but this does not affect the fact that Germans have won nearly half of the Nobel Prizes. There is nothing wrong with \”hoping for a child to become a dragon and a daughter to become a phoenix\”, but we must follow the growth pattern of the child and avoid overthrowing the child\’s growth. The state encourages children to enter kindergarten if they are 3 years old or older. However, how old a child should be before kindergarten depends on the actual situation of his or her own child. However, if families have the conditions, it is more conducive for their children to enter kindergarten later, which is more conducive to their healthy growth. Don’t be blindly superstitious and learn as early as possible. Let your child grow at his own pace and at a pace that suits him. Please believe that he will grow into his best self.
