What to do if your three-year-old baby eats slowly

Many people become anxious when they find that their baby eats slowly, and they don’t know how to train their baby to eat better. In fact, the earlier the training, the better, because this will help cultivate better living habits for the baby. They should be trained to eat by themselves when they are two or three years old, and they should also start walking and going to the toilet alone. These are all very critical.

1) Let the child learn to walk alone at 1 year and 6 months, and learn to go to the toilet alone at 1 year and 8 months;

2) At the age of 2, children should learn to wear underwear and develop good habits; at the age of 2 years and 6 months, they can eat alone and dress themselves;

3) Wear shoes with laces at the age of 2 to 3 to train children's ability to think in complex ways; eat at least 3 kinds of vegetables every day to train children's overall planning ability;

4) Children should be taught to respect and love themselves at the age of 4;

5) Children should be trained to have a sense of self-respect at the age of 5;

6) At the age of 6, children should be taught about unity, competition, and the comparison between the strong and the weak;

7) Children aged 8-13 should be made to understand the purpose of learning.

The critical period of healthy personality

Early childhood education plays an important role in the formation of people's personality traits. During the early childhood period, a child's personality traits begin to germinate and gradually take shape. At this time, children are highly malleable and have not yet established self-evaluation, so they often evaluate themselves based on the evaluation of their parents and teachers. If parents or teachers say “good”, it is “good”; if parents or teachers say “bad”, it is “bad”. If children are given the correct education and good guidance during this period, and develop good personality and qualities, it will have an important impact on their lives. On the contrary, if some bad personality traits or behavioral habits are formed during this period, it will be difficult to correct them later.

The critical period of sex education

Children around 3 years old are in a special stage of sexual psychological development, which is called the "sexual bud period" in psychology. If a boy thinks of himself as a girl and imitates girls in his dress, behavior and expressions, he becomes a feminine boy. If a girl regards herself as a boy and imitates boys in dressing, behavior and expressions, she becomes a masculine girl. This is called sex role dysmorphia.

In short, early childhood is a critical period for intellectual development, personality development, and sex education. In early childhood education, the main focus is to guide children to think correctly and cultivate a good learning attitude to cope with the difficulties and setbacks encountered in future study and work. Therefore, early childhood education is a lifelong event that determines a person’s destiny and happiness.
