10 things you're best not to do before age 6

As early as 2013, Taiwan's education authorities issued regulations prohibiting children under 6 years old from learning English: in order to protect the physical and mental development of preschool children, children under 6 years old are prohibited from taking brain courses such as English, abacus and composition that emphasize memory memorization or rigorous thinking.

According to Taiwan media reports, it is stipulated that children under the age of 6 can only take the course "help children's physical rhythm and artistic ability to learn", and if practitioners still insist on teaching children English and other subjects on time with traditional teaching, they may be fined NT$100,000 to NT$500,000.

However, in other provinces, cities and regions, many 2- and 3-year-old babies are already learning English, and it is more normal for children to learn English before the age of 6. He thinks that children at this age are particularly receptive to language, and if they intervene early, they may be able to turn English into their mother tongue. I hope that my children can "win at the starting line".

From the perspective of parenting, the general initiative is that the mother tongue environment of the family or the child spontaneously listens to and watches English cartoons with interest to contact English, rather than learning English by forcing the child to memorize English words and sentences every day.

"Before the age of 6, play should be the main way for them to acquire knowledge, and it is actually a sad thing to learn from children prematurely", this is the remarks of a well-known scholar in China. Whether children learn or not before the age is based on interest as the main criterion.

Here are 10 things that are recognized as the best things not to do before the age of 6, do parents know?

1, do not emphasize memory learning

Children's brain plasticity is strong, prematurely let children learn through rote memorization, will greatly reduce the plasticity of their brains, affecting the child's imagination; forced memory will also increase the child's psychological pressure, reduce the child's interest in learning, wait until the first grade really learns, bored with the semester is coming; young brain needs to develop in a balanced way, premature and simple memory Although the development of the child's left brain, but the development of the right brain is inhibited, hindering the full development of the brain.

2. Boarding kindergarten

Many parents think that the boarding system is conducive to children's self-reliance, and indeed the boarding system can make children learn to be independent earlier, but this effect is the same as left-behind children and orphans, such children have a common feature, that is, there are more serious psychological problems, emotional indifference, these children grow up after self-awareness and cooperation awareness are relatively low, affecting interpersonal communication.

3. Don't make your child recognize words

Children before the age of 6, have not yet been able to engage in fine homework activities, and it is difficult to distinguish similar words, in addition, the skeletal muscles of young children's hands are not mature, not suitable for long-term force, and there is a period of young children writing, they are more focused on recognition, but stare at the tip of the pen, or whether the color drawn is good.

4, do not teach children how to draw

Before the age of 6, children's painting, it is not recommended that adults teach, let alone tell children how to draw like, but let children paint at will, because graffiti is a child's creation and thinking process, if parents teach children how to draw, then children will think that their painting is very bad and move closer to the parents' standards, thinking is imprisoned, just like a child who often watches TV lacks creativity, it is harmful and unprofitable.

5. Be cautious about using setback education

Children before the age of 6, especially before the age of 3, are in a period of security establishment and improvement, if this period gives too much frustration, but will make the child lose trust in the outside world, and even lose curiosity and interest in the world, is not conducive to the growth of children.

6. It is not appropriate to learn the skills and skills of musical instruments

Unless the child is interested, children before the age of 6 should not be forced to learn musical instruments, let alone train in professional and technical skills. Children before the age of 6, it is recommended to participate in the way of appreciation or "immersion education", so that children are immersed in the ocean of music and spontaneously derive interests, otherwise the training of premature skills and skills will bind children and limit children's imagination and creativity.

7. Don't wear sunglasses

Children under 6 years of age, visual function is not yet mature, but also need more sunlight stimulation, wear sunglasses for a long time, the macular area of the fundus can not get effective stimulation, will affect the further development of vision, severe may even form amblyopia.

8. Avoid 7 sports

Generally speaking, tug-of-war, long-distance running, handstanding, wrist breaking, adult scooter, muscle exercise, rabbit jumping and other sports should not be carried out within 6 years of age, because such sports will increase the load on children's limbs, affect the overall development of the body, and even affect the height development. It is recommended that children under the age of 6 can play sports such as jumping rope, bouncing, jumping leather bands, shooting small leather balls, playing small football, playing small basketball, swimming and so on.

9. Don't watch 3D movies

Before the age of 6, the eyes of young children are still developing, including the eye muscles, eyeballs, and refractive system, which are not fully fixed and are relatively fragile. When watching 3D movies, you need both eyes to fuse the images they see into one, and the images seen by both eyes are not the same, after the fusion together can form a three-dimensional image, for children before the age of 6, his fusion function and stereoscopic function development is not perfect, long time watching 3D movies when constantly adjusting and integrating the eyes, easy to produce eye fatigue induced pseudomyopia, which in turn leads to child myopia.

10, do not drink a lot of juice for a long time

Fruit juice is rich in vitamins, but if a child overtakes juice within 6 years of age, it will disrupt the digestive system function of the child and is more likely to have diarrhea. In addition, long-term large-scale consumption of fruit juice is not only not beneficial to the health of children, but may cause children to suffer from "juice drink syndrome", that is, the fructose in the juice will hinder the body's absorption of copper, affect hemoglobin production and lead to anemia.
