The passwords of children's high IQ are hidden in these sensitive periods, and they will be very productive after two or three days

My friend attaches great importance to the early education of children, and is very attentive to prenatal education every day during pregnancy.

Seriously, there are really a lot of developmentally sensitive periods before the age of 6, and I have to say it orally, and I can't finish it for most of the day, so I think it's better to write it, and it can benefit more people, so I have this article.

The sensitive period of children refers to the occurrence of a certain strong natural behavior in a certain period of time, which does not always exist, but disappears after a certain stage.

During the sensitive period, the child absorbs things quickly. Because the brain is highly malleable at this time, it can quickly change and form new connections, but after the sensitive period, the speed of establishing new connections slowly slows down.

In other words, teaching during the sensitive period can efficiently develop brain power and quickly improve the development of children's minds.

Therefore, we must firmly grasp these sensitive periods, grasp two or three, and cultivate them carefully, it will be difficult for children to be excellent in the future!

1. Order (6 months - 4 1/2 years old, peaking at 2 years old)

Children in this sensitive period are very concerned about order and ownership.

For example, if you usually change his diapers in the room, but today you change them in another place, and he doesn't want to live or die, so he has to be in the room.

Another example is that I don't like my dad to sit in my mother's chair, and I don't like my mother to use my father's spoon.

In short, if a child in the sensitive period of order finds that things (position, habits) are different from usual, he will feel anxious and even burst into tears and tantrums.

The reason why a child values order so much is because he doesn't know much about the world yet.

From the brain's point of view, living in a world where you don't know the rules is an unsettling thing, and order = consistently, it can give us peace of mind.

The sensitive period of order occurs in several stages, and as long as the current sensitive period is satisfied, a period of time will pass.

Therefore, when the child is very "stubborn", as long as it does not involve safety and too principled things, there is no need to correct it immediately.

When we understand and respect our child's need for order, he will become calmer and less angry, upset, and crying.

A well-organized external environment and a "consistent" and orderly life make children feel safe.

When they are at peace, they can create a stable internal order, which is of great help to the improvement of children's logical thinking (which helps us understand numbers and language).

2. Small things (1.5-3 years old)

Children are obsessed with small objects and small details, such as the hair on the bed, the scraps of paper on the floor, the little ants that are moving, and the little garbage on the floor.

What we need to do at this time is to provide an environment for exploration, let them concentrate on playing, try not to disturb him, and slowly, the child will gain good observation and his fingertips will become more and more flexible.

What's more, the brain is able to slowly fuse the understanding of order and detail, and the level of intelligence is raised to the next level.

3. Sensory (0-6 years old)

During this period, children are fascinated by the senses of touch, hearing, taste, sight and smell. It is through the experience of the five senses that the human brain continuously collects information from the outside world and gradually improves the neural network.

0-3 years old, receiving various things (information) through the five senses.

3-6 years old, classify and organize the things (information) collected by the five senses.

For example, the child knows how to arrange two things in order; Know how to look for the common features of 3 (or more) things and then group them.

Identity, comparison, and classification are all closely related to logical thinking.

What we need to do at this time is to provide a large number of senses and observation environments, such as: taking them to the wilderness in nature, guiding the observation of animals and plants, and enriching their sensory experience.

If you don't understand, then Mei Ma will be more specific, compare which flower is bigger and which flower is small (visual), and what is the difference between this leaf and another leaf to the touch (touch)...

4. Mathematical Concepts (4.5-6 years old)

At this time, the child is very sensitive to quantities and numbers, and he can't help but want to count, ask what time it is, how many are there here, and so on.

At this time, if you are given a lot of contact with numbers, integrate mathematical knowledge into daily life, and teach them slowly, they will absorb them naturally and quickly. Like what:

When drinking milk, ask him to see if it is his cup or yours.

When eating pistachios, there are 10 in total, and he is willing to share 4 with you, how many more can he eat himself.

"We're going to go to kindergarten in 10 minutes. ”

5. Writing (3-5 years old)

3-5 year olds are very interested in literacy, hands-on and word practice.

Take my child as an example, after he turned 3 years old, he likes to use graffiti to express something, likes to draw dots, lines, circles, and stickers, anyway, the writing impulse is stronger.

At this time, we can set up a writing corner, prepare a desk and chair for children to write, and paper and pens for graffiti, and hang the alphabet to make full use of this sensitive period.

The child's small hand muscles are still relatively weak, the pen control is not very good, it is more difficult to write with a pencil, and it is much easier to write with a felt-tip pen.

Of course, it is not enough for children to use "love to generate electricity", as parents, we also consciously support and guide in order to lay a good foundation for children to write.

The thumb, index finger and middle finger are the three fingers that must be used for writing, if you want to improve your child's pen control ability, let your child play more "three-finger games", such as threading beads, picking things with tweezers, picking beans, and sticking stickers.

6. Reading (4-5 1/2 years old)

After the age of 4, children will have a strong urge to "read".

Although we don't have many books at home, we have thousands of them, and we like to keep all the books that are suitable for children to read.

I found that my child is not very good at reading books by himself before the age of 4, and if he wants to read them, he must read them, but after the age of 4, some changes have occurred, and when he feels bored, he will pick one or two books to read by himself. Although I can't read a single big character, the illustrations are rich and lively, and I read them with relish.

Many parents rack their brains to help their children develop reading habits, but in fact, make good use of this reading sensitive period to create a good reading environment for their children, such as pasting the alphabet, China map, and world map at home, and preparing enough books, children will naturally fall in love with reading.

Before the sensitive period, the child passed by the map without scanning his eyes, but as soon as the sensitive period arrived, he took my hand, stared at the map intently, and asked, "Mom, why does our map of China look so much like a big rooster?", "Mom, why are there no giant pandas in Guangdong?"...

There is a good saying that it is not enough to love children, it is necessary to have the ability to love children. In order to tap the maximum potential of children, it is necessary to understand more about the laws of children's sensitive period and intellectual development, create an environment for children to explore freely, and provide sufficient activity materials.
