"Early development" - one of the most popular phrases today, consumed among mothers, eager to show off as soon as possible the achievements of his offspring. Knowing the fact that the activity of the brain absorbs information in all three years, the majority of parents prefer to start training with a child with almost birth, actively involving it in the "bowels" of techniques and Tuleneva Montessori, Waldorf education, cards Doman, Zaitseva spreadsheets, invoices and so Soroban Further.
All of these and other methods of early development have a huge number of devotees discussing their undeniable dignity, but together they are expressed and ardent opponents of these techniques, resulting in contrast to its least significant arguments. What actually is the truth and who is really right?
Pros and cons
In fact - it is a multifaceted issue that has no certain axioms, the controversy surrounding that lead to this day. The most basic problem, "arguing" on the subject - it's two extremes: one is charged with a maximum of information in the child's brain, starting with "Diaper" age, while others do not even try to answer, for example, the question of Chad: "What is the number, the letter?" until the submission of the application to school. Of course, the rule of "golden mean" has not been canceled, so - everything is good in moderation.
School "drill" from the cradle
For example, if some parents try on the mantle of the university on their child from the cradle, it is quite possible to understand them. After all, everyone wants to see in his "offspring" of a successful person. But this should not mean that from infancy he can start school drill, "flavored" dictionaries cards for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not at all!
After all, mental development must go in tandem with the physical activity of the child, with its orientation in space, and sensory motor development. And only "academic" knowledge will gradually decomposed on the shelves without compromising basic child Wednesday - game. It is unlikely that someone will be able to imagine even two years of a baby (not to mention an earlier age), sitting at a desk and write out prescriptions.
Early development is suitable far not all
That this view is shared by opponents of early development, relying on the fact that it is not always any technique can be applied to a particular child. And indeed it is! But based on the "golden" rules can deny this fact. Just do not "pull" blindly on her unique baby paragraphs with clever books.
After all, every person is inherently unique and individual approach to your child is based on rethinking a combination of different techniques may well benefit by giving at some point, a serious impetus to the development of small Howcast. Therefore, every mom is none better knowing your child should choose a suitable method or create a "hodgepodge" and author of pedagogical development, carefully watching the reaction baby.
Early development is fraught with danger?
Perhaps somewhere supporters of this view are right, but in reality it is not so. Unless, of course, "fixated" on the pitch encyclopedic knowledge Mommy, does not "breathe" its polutoragodovalaya baby, sending it into three or four classes a day, it is possible to overload and fatigue and may be hazardous to health baby.
But this does not apply to children who are busy not imposed by force, and is given the opportunity to engage with interest, and the relatively short period of time, while his active action interest. Such "early" classes will bring only benefits and uniquely pleasant child, accompanied by its harmonious development.
Why deprive childhood?
This is perhaps the most important question in the debate supporters and opponents of the early development of methodologies. And here is the time to remember the remarkable author Masaru Ibuka, author of the book "After three already late," proposes to change is not the content, and way to teach a child, and claiming that "we should not care that we give too much information, but the fact that most of it too few".
After all, the baby in the first months of his life is endowed with unique abilities of the brain, which help him to learn about the world. And if this is the baby will lie a while tightly swaddled and looking at the white ceiling, then he can not get the tactile and visual information, which is very important at this age.
On the exact opposite will happen to a child who will be in the vest, being able to freely move arms and legs, is equipped with a bright pictures in sight, a nice variety of music, paint, clay, skates, rollers, wallpaper, which can be safely without restrictions to draw, play, play music. That's when it will start on time sit early in the crawl, walk, sing, draw, skate before going. This is called "early development", which some mummies, without even realizing it, used by intuition.
Early development? In the center!
Centers of early development is already in sufficient quantities in every town and if you're lucky, and there really will teach professionals and people with appropriate education, it wonderful! So as a child in such centers is in the special atmosphere, with accompanying specific teaching materials, which are difficult to guess, even a simple man in the street.
But sometimes these "attacks" on the long distance is not entirely beneficial to the kids, and do not always take the centers still quite tiny children. Therefore, if you are really keen to see a specialist, doubting yourself, you can invite him to his home after his "tips" perfectly manage themselves at home, without overloading especially the child, and to engage with him until he is interested in combining all this with running, jumping, crawling, and other key activity.
Listen CARETAKER often to your baby - and then a lot of "dead-end" questions will disappear by themselves. Just love your kids, and do not limit their thirst for knowledge.
