Yesterday, I went to pick up the girl Guo from school. Promotional staff from major training institutions gathered at the school gate, holding small signs, showing their presence separately, and pushing small prizes on the ground. From time to time, I sell products to parents and ask for their contact information.
I won’t talk about practicing calligraphy, English, Go, Taekwondo, etc. The most outrageous thing is the "Master of the Most Beautiful Memory". When I saw this name, my mother, my jaw dropped. I guess I would have lost my memory before sending my child to such an institution to be tortured, right? With a cold face, he rejected the little sister's promotion.
Anyone who has walked the road of raising a child knows that behind it is a history of blood and tears. Everyone knows that there are two types of people in the world who make the best money - women and children. Mothers of two children are simply a piece of fat in the eyes of major businesses and training institutions. They try their best to set up various routines to make parents unable to guard against them, and they will cry if they talk too much.
What parents need to do is to keep their heads clear, stop losses in time, develop sharp eyes, not be a leek, and keep the "IQ tax" away from themselves.
01. Is trace element inspection necessary?
I once took my children to get vaccinated. The doctor recommended this test more than once, but the trace element test has been stopped by the National Health and Family Planning Commission for 5 years! Whether it is a hair test or a blood test, the results are not accurate enough and have little reference significance, so they are completely unnecessary.
Let the child go, don’t prick your hand, it hurts!
02. Breast milk is not as good as milk powder, and cow’s milk is not as good as goat’s milk? ?
Some time ago, I heard a male colleague say that his child was eating goat's milk. I didn't ask him the specific reason? I don’t dare to ask, I’m afraid I’ll be impressed by him after asking... No milk is as nutritious and more suitable for babies as breast milk, and it doesn’t cost any money! The nutritional value of goat's milk and cow's milk are not much different, and cow's milk has more options.
03. Can a walker help children learn to walk?
The girl Mu is one year and four months old. She crawls around at home every day, but she cannot let go of her courage to walk independently. The old mother is a little anxious, but she has not bought a walker and is waiting for her. The day I walked independently. (It feels like another saving)
Studies have shown that children who use walkers will walk independently later! ?What’s even more frightening is that the child cannot control the walker well and can easily fall down the stairs and steps while being carried by the walker.
04. Do children with high jaundice need to eat Yinzhihuang?
I remember that when the girl Mu was born, because her jaundice index was high, the doctor prescribed Yinzhihuang + Mommy’s Love Golden Combination. Like many babies, Yinzhihuang became the food that many Chinese children came into the world to eat. The first "medicine".
In August 2016, the Food and Drug Administration issued a document clearly stating that it is prohibited to use Yinzhihuang injection for pregnant women, newborns, infants and young children. It can still be used for other groups of people, but it needs to be "with conditions for rescue" For use in medical institutions, users should be trained in anaphylactic shock rescue. "However, there are many doctors who do not allow children to take it." I think doctors in a tertiary-level maternal and child hospital in Hubei Province would still prescribe this kind of medicine, let alone other hospitals?
To put it bluntly, Yinzhihuang acts as a stimulant laxative for children, promoting their defecation and helping to reduce jaundice. In fact, the gastrointestinal tract of newborns is very fragile. Let alone feeding these proprietary Chinese medicines with complex ingredients and unknown properties, even if they are fed formula milk, the probability of diarrhea in children is higher than that of breastfeeding, and the chance of jaundice is also lower. .
05. Can antipyretic patches reduce fever?
All antipyretic patches and all physical cooling products have no other use than telling others that you have a fever and relieving the anxiety of your parents and grandparents.
0 6. Can eating bananas cure constipation?
The cellulose content in bananas is very low, but it is rich in starch and pectin. Using it to treat constipation will only have the opposite effect. If your child is constipated, you can eat fruits and vegetables with high fiber content such as prunes and dragon fruit.
07. The child is not feeling well. Can I get a set of pediatric massage?
Pediatric massage is a kind of treatment. The basis of treatment is diagnosis first, and the basis of diagnosis requires medical knowledge. If an elder sister or uncle with no medical knowledge takes a massage class, or even buys a massage book and reads it and treats people, some people will believe it. It can only be said that what everyone lacks is not medical knowledge, but basic logical ability. It is not medical skills that can cure all diseases, but deception.
The key is that there is a serious family in our community. I even watched some babies doing it there, but I did not dare to step forward to stop it.
The above are mainly aimed at various pitfalls for babies under the age of one month. When children enter the school-age stage, the most pitfalls of "IQ tax" are various training institutions, such as Go, English, calligraphy, composition, etc. Mathematics, piano, dance, rope skipping, plus various winter vacation classes, summer vacation classes, kindergarten transition classes...there are so many kinds, no training institution can't do it, only parents can't think of it.
The following is mainly about sharing personal opinions, please treat it rationally.
About composition and reading comprehension
My opinion is not to sign up, especially in the first grade of primary school. Most of what training institutions teach is about skills, but the skills must be learned during your own practice. They must be free to use. After you understand the principles, you can first practice through stupid methods and self-correct, and finally sum up your own model. That is, skills are useful.
About Chinese and Mathematics
It is recommended that all parents and friends first study and understand the content of the textbook, and then use the complete explanation of the textbook by Teacher Xue Jinxing. If you pay attention, it will actually be enough for parents. It can be used in conjunction with other books for senior students or those who have ideas for the Mathematical Olympiad.
?About English training
If parents’ time and English ability permit, it is recommended to learn about Mo Er, Listener, Liao Caixing, Gai Zhaoquan, and Wu Minlan before doing so. , weesing, RAZ, Red Rocket, Oxford Tree, PET, KET, MSE... After a systematic understanding, we can develop a learning plan according to the child's situation. The final effect may be much better than that of sending it to a training institution. You can refer to the old article Do you really understand English enlightenment?
Finally, I want to say that what empowers children is never what tutoring classes parents enroll their children in, but how parents accompany and guide their children. Instead of accepting commercial brainwashing words like "developing children's left and right brains" and "significantly improving grades in 10 days", it is better to patiently accompany your children to explore the world, find their inner love, study hard, and not be blind or follow the trend.
