The concept of early education

Early education is the education that adults give to babies. Many people think that early education refers to preschool education, but this is not a more scientific explanation. In fact, it refers to developing children's potential, improving children's comprehensive abilities such as concentration, imagination, memory and language expression, as well as spiritual education and character cultivation according to their sensitive period, psychological needs and various characteristics before entering primary school.

This is the enlightenment education of life, which has the significance of laying a foundation. 0-7 years old is the growth period of children's brain development. If we can enrich children's life at this time and give correct education according to their age characteristics, we can accelerate children's intellectual development and lay the foundation for the formation of good behavior habits and personality quality.

In addition, early education can also be viewed from four aspects: body, intelligence, morality and beauty.

Physical education: cultivate children's good living habits and independent living ability, and develop their basic movements, such as walking, running, jumping, climbing and climbing.

Intellectual education: It is not important to impart advanced scientific knowledge in early intellectual education, but to develop children's intelligence, that is, to develop children's attention, observation, memory, thinking imagination and oral expression ability.

Moral education: refers to the moral education for children. There are three factors in the formation of people's moral character, namely, their understanding of moral character, emotion and behavior.

Aesthetic education: refers to the aesthetic education of children. There are many natural phenomena and social phenomena in life that can make people feel beauty, and some art forms are the result of refining and sublimating these beautiful contents.

Therefore, the real early education is to cultivate comprehensive abilities in all aspects, as well as spiritual education and character cultivation. Parents should pay more attention to this aspect when they know about educational institutions.
