One of the mothers said that the kindergarten was closed during this period, and the two-and-a-half-year-old daughter had already signed up, but it was postponed until September. What should I teach my baby at home?
Another mother said, how to teach her two-year-old son to read? Mothers' anxiety is understandable, but is it really necessary for such a big child to learn cultural knowledge?
How do 2-year-old children teach early? The point is not to learn knowledge.
After the child reaches the age of 2, most parents begin to prepare for kindergarten. Some parents think that children should not be allowed to play around, but should learn some serious skills, especially when they see other children reciting poems or reading words.
Even if not, children have many early education toys and picture books. If you can't improve your cognitive level and mathematical enlightenment, everyone thinks that children are wasting' good things'.
Alison Gopnik said in Gardeners and Carpenters: The significance of children's childhood lies in diversity and experimentation, and they can discover more' knowledge' by themselves than we thought.
As the famous contemporary child psychologist said, according to the characteristics of brain cognitive development, the focus of early education for two-and-a-half-year-old children is not how much practical knowledge they have gained, how many words they know, or how many poems they can recite. Learning in life is far more important than living in learning.
What is a 2-year-old tutor? Cultivate three abilities as soon as possible
Children around 2 years old need to face many challenges. For example, for the first time, take a social step; For example, leaving my mother for the first time; For example, learn to manage yourself. Prepare for entering the collective life. And the most effective providers of these educations are our parents themselves.
1, emotional management
My daughter went to my grandmother's house for a while when she was about 2 years old. Just came back from grandma's house, she found that she would not stop crying unless she hugged it in her arms. The husband pointed out the problem in one sentence:' She can't control her emotions, so she can't stop. ''
I also know that even for adults, managing emotions is not easy. It is even more difficult for children who have just turned 2, but it is so important.
If you don't pay attention to it at this time, the older the child grows up, the more he will find that he can't control his emotions at all. The higher his achievements, the greater his potential risks.
At this stage, parents should undertake the task of cultivating their children to manage their emotions, and don't let their children stop crying and lose their temper at once. Instead, let the children know their emotions, know what is wrong with them, or find an effective way to vent.
For example, I will say to strawberry that sad mood is like a cloud, which will float away by itself. When you cry, you think that the clouds will soon float away. Slowly, the mood will stabilize.
Step 2 develop living habits
A regular life is very important for babies. Going to bed on time and washing hands before eating are all habits that children need to develop as soon as possible at this stage.
On the one hand, such habits help children adapt to kindergarten life quickly; On the other hand, the sense of order is of great psychological significance to babies who are still in the sensitive period of order.
Therefore, at this stage, the child needs the nurturer to help him establish a good living habit system to adapt to the next collective life. If you have already enrolled in kindergarten, parents can refer to the schedule of kindergarten for planning and adjustment.
3. Self-care ability
With the development of big movements, fine movements and abstract concepts, two-year-old babies have strong self-care ability, such as dressing themselves, taking tableware before meals, cleaning toys, cleaning tables and so on.
In these aspects, parents may wish to fully decentralize, even if the baby can't do well, they can provide several more practice opportunities or demonstrate in person to encourage children to try.
Tips: Being able to take care of yourself or help your family is of great benefit to the development of children's self-confidence.
Parents raising 2-year-old children must follow three principles.
A friend often spits at me, and her second child often opposes herself. The longer she grows, the less cute she is. She refused to take care of it when she was only two years old. Will she understand later?
Perhaps, for parents, a two-year-old child means that they are no longer at their mercy. But for him, two years old is the most important year for the development of self-awareness.
Children use almost fierce methods just to gradually get rid of their parents and become independent individuals in the true sense. Therefore, in this year's parent-child relationship, parents should keep these rules in mind and accompany their children through this' special and special' stage.
First of all, respect the development law of children.
Parents are always very contradictory, hoping that their children will always be obedient and clever, and be little babies around them; And always think that they have the ability to surpass their age. Genius is in the minority after all. Two-year-olds can count and recite 100 poems, which is unusual. Therefore, if you want to live in harmony with your children, don't summarize the requirements other than your growth ability. But to understand the law of children's development and provide necessary help.
Second, learn to treat each other as equals.
I remember my cousin told me an interesting story about my nephew when he was a child. It was when he was two and a half years old that he began to teach him to wear his own shoes. Because at first he always dressed slowly, and once he was anxious to go out and watch him dawdle. I can't help but go up and help him dress. My brother cried in anger and made a scene. Cousin realized that she didn't respect the child's needs: for a two-year-old child, she was on the verge of success, but you cut in. It's so annoying
When getting along with the baby at this stage, parents should try their best to maintain autonomy and remind themselves that he is not a baby anymore, but a growing minor. He has self-esteem, preferences, and can make sense of everything and guide him.
Finally, learn to love.
Although children have begun to awaken their self-awareness, compared with adults, their emotions still need my parents' understanding. In addition, in the double sensitive period of "order and socialization", don't scold children when they have behaviors that we can't understand. Understand the child's psychological development and ask him why? Put yourself in the child's position and work with the child to find a solution to the problem.
