5-year-old children's education

Now everyone is actively responding to the requirements of family planning. It is very common to have only one child. Parents' education of their children should keep up with the development of society. Parents should not spoil their children too much just because they have few children. This is actually harmful to the children. Education in childhood is very important. Habits are formed from childhood. The saying that you can tell a child's future by looking at the age of three is not without reason. If there is a 5-year-old child at home, you must understand the issues of 5-year-old education. According to different age groups, the educational measures taken will also be different.

Educating children well and helping them develop good habits during childhood will be very helpful for their future development. If adults pay attention to their children when they are young, they will have less worries in the future. Therefore, the education of 5-year-old children should also be detailed and systematic. Let me introduce it below:

1. Understand children’s psychological changes. Only when parents correctly understand children’s psychological changes can they educate their children in a targeted manner according to the characteristics of children’s psychological changes and achieve better educational results. Therefore, parents must learn some psychological knowledge and carefully observe their children's psychological development under the guidance of scientific theories. In order to educate their children well, some parents closely cooperate in keeping observation diaries from the first day their children are born, recording their children's physical and psychological changes, and sometimes also taking photos, recording audio and video. This practice can be learned.

2. Allow children to move around more freely and develop independence. When children can walk, you should start to allow them to move around more on their own, guide and train them to do things they can do. This is the beginning of cultivating children's independence from an early age. When starting to train children to do independent activities, parents can do something with their children, give them necessary help, and gradually enable them to do it by themselves. Some parents are always worried about their children and do not allow their children to do things that they are already capable of doing, which gradually causes their children to develop a fear and dependence habit. Therefore, parents should not restrict their children's activities too much, which will hinder the development of their children's independence. Psychological research has shown that only through personal experimentation, independent thinking and direct contact with the world can children truly understand the world, which is beneficial to the development of their creativity and independence.

3. Strengthen training to prevent willfulness. Many parents say that their only children have the shortcomings of willfulness and stubbornness. These bad qualities of children are mainly caused by their special status in the family and their parents' frequent satisfaction of their children's unreasonable demands. Some only children cry and make a fuss because some unreasonable needs are not met. The parents feel soft-hearted and start to indulge their children and meet their unreasonable demands. This will cause the child to gradually develop bad psychological qualities such as willfulness and bad temper. Therefore, as long as parents educate their children properly and continue to strengthen training, they can avoid and overcome bad qualities such as willfulness in their children.

4. Prevent spoiling. It is the nature of parents to love their children, but love does not mean spoiling. Some parents live frugally, put their children at the center of everything, do everything according to their children's wishes, and listen to their children's instructions in everything. Sacrificing everything for children leads to pampering and doting, which is really harmful. Soviet educator Makarenko pointed out: "Those parents who wear ragged clothes, have untidy shoes and socks, are reluctant to watch a play, and are willing to sacrifice everything for their children out of compassion can be regarded as the worst educators." "People often say, I am a mother, I am a father, I give everything to my children, I sacrifice everything for him, even my own happiness. This is the most terrible gift parents give to their children.

5. Let your children participate in more group activities. Only children have no brothers or sisters in the family. In this particular living environment, it is easy to develop an irrational and unsociable personality. Parents should create conditions for their children to socialize with other children and encourage them to interact with other children, which will help cultivate their children's spirit of collectivism. Regrettably, some parents often isolate their children from the group. Some only children will cry if they are not satisfied when playing with other children. At this time, the mother does not guide the child with kind words of advice, but indulges the child and says: "Let's not play with them, go home and play by ourselves!" This deprives the child of the opportunity to interact with society. In fact, all only children have a strong need for social interaction, and parents should fully understand them and consciously create more conditions for them. This is very beneficial for children to participate in social life when they grow up.

6. Be realistic in your expectations for your child’s future. Many parents care more about their children’s academic performance than the children themselves, which results in adding extracurricular burdens and mental stress to their children. Parents do this simply to help their children get into a good middle school and then a good university in the future and have a bright future. You must know that under the current circumstances in our country, it is impossible for everyone to go to university, and it is impossible for everyone to become a scientist or manager in the future. We must acknowledge the differences in intelligence between people, and also acknowledge that social division of labor is an objective necessity. Therefore, it is wise to try to provide children with opportunities for all-round development. It is very foolish for parents to have unrealistic expectations for their children, which can only bring pain to both parents and children.

The education of 5-year-old children is actually not a small problem. Children are the hope of the motherland's future. Educating children well is a responsibility to the motherland and to the children. We should understand more about children's psychology and learn to change roles to think for the children. As parents, we should not force things to happen. What is suitable for children is the best. Don't be anxious when you see that other people's children can do it but your own children can't. There is no need to compare like this and add pressure to children. This practice of forcing things to happen is wrong.
