I've met too many such parents. In order to let children win at the so-called starting line, just a few days after learning to speak, they began to try their best to teach children to count and read. Then, when their children get some achievements, such as being able to count 1234, or reciting one or two poems of Tang poetry, they are complacent about their educational achievements and proud of their "cleverness". However, "everything happens sometimes", so young children are naive and romantic. Should they really "accelerate" their growth under the pressure of their parents?
I don't think so. I believe that all parents who understand sensory integration and the normal growth and development of their children will not think so. Because we know that just as improper diet can lead to indigestion, letting children read and read too much too early will only lead to internal indigestion of children and ultimately affect their healthy physical and mental development.
In fact, let alone children, even we adults have limited time and energy. If children are forced to spend a lot of time and energy to study, it is easy to have "food accumulation", and the damage in the end far outweighs the benefits of literacy.
Especially before the age of seven, it is a critical period for the development of children's sensory systems such as vision, hearing, touch, vestibule and proprioception. Children need to learn and feel the whole world outside through body movements, in order to finally realize the harmonious development of the body. On the contrary, if children don't get enough games or sports involving the body, their sensory system can't get enough in-depth sensory information, and then the brain can't get deeper development because it can't get enough sensory stimulation. In the end, what awaits them will be a series of behavioral and psychological obstacles, accompanied by various sensory integration disorders.
Skipping lines when reading, twisting when writing, inattention in class, bad relationship with children, ready to lose your temper and hit people, the good boy you expected to study hard and be polite did not appear, so you had to bite the bullet and complain that the child was too careless and had a bad personality, but you never dared to admit it. In fact, all this laid a curse as early as a few years ago, and this curse will affect children's study and work for a long time to come.
Yes, the child won at the starting line, but at this rate, can he really get the second class in Guangdong? I believe the question mark in your heart is getting bigger and bigger. However, there is no regret medicine in the world. The only thing you can do is to let your children participate in sensory integration training in a limited time, so as to make up for the lack of sports learning and sensory learning before!
So, if you read this article now, if your child is still young, if you are still trying to add learning tasks to your child, then stop it quickly! You know, what can really help children lay a good foundation in life is healthy body, harmonious psychology and creative thinking, not a handful of Chinese characters and numbers learned in early childhood!
