Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
Parents attach importance to education for no reason, because the best stage of individual development is childhood, if you can lay a good foundation at a young age, the road to growth can be easier.
Fortunately, the child is healed by childhood for a lifetime, even if he has experienced countless ups and downs in the future, but the beauty of childhood will always make him regain the courage to continue to embark on the road ahead, and unfortunate people have suffered too much harm due to childhood, they can only make up for themselves desperately when they grow up, even if it takes a lifetime, they may not be able to reconcile with themselves.
So how do you distance your child from their peers? From a behavioral psychology perspective, it is simple to make good use of your child's "golden 8 years".
The famous behavioral psychologist John Watson proposed that no matter what the development situation of the child's ancestors, as long as the parents are willing, they can raise the child to become a variety of types of people, whether it is a leader or a thief, all of which have a strong subjective initiative.
Embryonic period
With the development of society and the progress of ideological concepts, many families attach great importance to the growth of children, and even some people have already carried out education for children when they are still embryos, which is the so-called prenatal education.
Some people believe in the importance of prenatal education, and they believe that children are influenced by excellent culture in the process of development, which can make them fall in love with beautiful things after birth. There are also some people who think that this is purely overkill and has no scientific basis.
From a psychological point of view, prenatal education is actually very necessary. Neurons are the most important tissue in the brain, and they are mainly composed of three parts, namely cell bodies, dendrites, and axons.
Because the function of the brain is extremely complex and the structural foundation is quite intelligent, the indispensable things of the human body have begun to form as early as the embryonic development period, and educating children during this stage can allow them to receive high-quality information early.
Neurons are very different from other cells in the human body, the latter can be replaced at any time, one cell dies, another cell can take over his duties, while the neuronal cell is different, once it dies, the neuron is completely inactivated.
Not only that, people's sensory organs and body intelligence will also gradually develop in the embryonic stage, so appropriate prenatal education for children can effectively promote children's intellectual development.
It is worth noting that ionizing radiation, noise, and other chemical elements need to be paid more attention during pregnancy, because they are only bad for the growth of the fetus, not good.
Infancy is 0 to 3 years old
During this stage, the child's psychological development is the most rapid, and the level and quality of psychological development during this period can have a profound impact on the child's childhood and adolescent and later life.
There is a folk saying that three years old looks old, this sentence is not unreasonable, people usually call zero to three years old as infant and young children, this stage of children grow very fast, especially brain function.
Although the difference in the brain of the baby is not obvious when he is just born, the difference in his brain will become more and more prominent as he grows older and the brain continues to develop.
It should also be noted that in people's general cognition, the baby's brain will no longer change after growing to a certain level, but in fact, scientists have found that the development of the baby's brain is still affected and restricted by the acquired environment.
Acquired stimulation will affect the growth of the baby's brain region, in this stage, the brain plasticity and repair is very strong, if parents want to let the child's brain thinking to be correctly developed, it is bound to give it the corresponding education, do not miss the golden enlightenment period of his thinking.
In early childhood, 3 to 7 years old
At this time, most of the children have gone to kindergarten, although their physical and psychological growth has been corresponding, but due to limited ability, they still need to rely on their parents.
At this stage, children lack knowledge and experience, their judgment is weak, whether it is memory or recognition, they need to rely on specific images to be able to do so.
Young children need to grow up in games, psychologist Piaget proposed that children can recognize new and complex objects and events in games, at the same time, games can also consolidate children's new cognition, is an effective way to expand the new learning and functions.
Parents can prepare some animated cards for their children to help them understand the world, or play some hands-on games with them to train their thinking ability and perception ability.
All in all, what really opens the gap between children is the 8 years from embryonic to early childhood, don't miss the golden stage of development, because it is really important.
