早教的三大误区！快看看入坑了吗？
随着早教理念在国内的兴起，很多思想超前的父母开始让宝宝接触早期教育。同时自身也在学习早教方面的知识，希望能让孩子赢在起跑线上。
With early childhood education becoming more and more popular in China, many parents have started enrolling their little ones. These same parents are also educating themselves on how to help their little one get the best start in life.
正因如此，市面上出现了大量的早期教育品牌，但教学方法却并非都是科学和正确的。如何正确认识早教呢？今天，我们就从这几方面简单给您做个分享。
Because of this, a large number of early education brands have appeared on the market, but not all teaching methods are scientifically correct or beneficial for your child. But how is a parent looking to enroll their child in a school to know which schools offer the best in early childhood education? Today we will shed some light on the truths and misconceptions about beneficial early childhood education.
误区一：早教课就是低龄托儿所
Misunderstanding 1: Early education
is a nursery for young children
谈到带孩子，很多家长就会头疼。特别是初为父母，在养育孩子这方面完全就是小白。当他们看到早教班的学员年龄可以是从0岁至5岁时，简直好像发现了福音一般。带着孩子过来上课，自己的等在外面玩手机。
It is no secret that raising children is exhausting and many parents end up feeling completely overextended. When parents see the option to enroll their children in early childhood education they feel like they have found a miracle. A place where they can drop their child off in class and wait outside, getting some much needed relaxation time away from their baby.
对于中国人来说，早教是舶来品。在欧美国家，早教班的学习对象主要是家长。家长可以从中学习到科学的育儿方法，并在课堂外、在家中，持续保持对孩子的教导。可是在中国，很多人习惯性的把它当成了低龄托儿所，这样的想法是不对的！
Unlike China, where early childhood education is still a new concept, in European and American countries parents understand that they are there childs first and most important teacher and need to learn how to keep them engaged. In early childhood education centers, parents remain in the classroom with there child to learn academically sound teaching methods that they can continue to use at home to help their children grow. However, in China, many parents still have the misconception that early childhood education is just a nursery.
误区二：早教课能开发智力
Misunderstanding 2: Early childhood education
is centered on increasing intelligence (IQ).
通过早期教育，确实可以运用不同的教学方法，激发孩子脑神经元的发育，但这并非是开发智力！早期教育培养的是孩子的综合能力，例如对事物、颜色的认知能力、肢体运动能力等早教不仅是智商教育，还是情商教育、规则教育。音乐、艺术、阅读习惯、模仿游戏等，都是早教。所以，宣扬能开发智力的早教机构，都是骗人的！
Through early education, different teaching methods can indeed be used to stimulate the development of children's brain. But this is not the development of intelligence! Early education cultivates children's comprehensive abilities, such as cognition of things and colors, and physical ability. Early education is not only IQ education, but also EQ education. Music, art, reading habits, games, etc. are all necessary tools in early education. Therefore, early education institutions that only promote intellectual development are not academically sound.
误区三：早教课就是带着孩子做游戏
Misunderstanding 3: Early education
is only for children to play games
由于很多家长对早教知识缺乏了解，认为早教课就是带着孩子做游戏，跟平常带孩子去游乐园或在家玩没有区别。事实并非如此，早教课的每一个游戏环节、声音、动作，都经过教师根据不同年龄段的孩子，进行分级设计。
Many parents mistakenly think that early education is only for children to play games, which is no different from taking children to amusement parks or playing at home. This could not be further from the truth. Every game, sound, and action in an early education class should designed by the teacher to be educationally beneficial for the students.
简单的说，早教课是带着小朋友"有目的的玩"！因为对于婴幼儿来说，教育是很难靠灌输的方法去培养的，所以早教会将这个知识或需要锻炼的能力，伪装到游戏中，激发小朋友的好奇心和兴趣，从而实现教学的目的。
To put it simply, early childhood education centers "play with purpose". For infants and young children, education is near impossible to cultivate through methods that force children to sit still and listen to lectures. Therefore, early childhood education centers teach through entertaining games that stimulate children's curiosity and interest.
小孩子和大人一样，都喜欢逃避困难任务。尤其是慢热型宝宝，如果某个游戏对她来说感到困难，可能会出现躲避、哭闹等情况。所以，好的早教不是盯着感兴趣的玩，而是有营养的"都得玩"！将需要锻炼的能力，融合到游戏中，让宝宝重复性的玩。
Like adults, children tend to avoid tasks that seem " too difficult" or "boring". Shy children in particular will be more hesitant to get involved. This is why "playing with purpose" is so important. It allows our little ones to be comfortable and entertained while also learning from the exercises integrated into our curriculum.
最后，还想告诉各位家长，正确的教育都是长期起效的。特别在早期教育中，通过对孩子潜移默化的影响，让他们形成对事物的认知，激发脑神经元突触的发展，从而在长大后有着更好的综合能力。所以，早期教育时需要父母多用心，孩子才能有更多的收获。
Finally, it is imperative that parents understand that academically sound education will have benefits throughout your child's life. This is especially true when it comes to early childhood education which focuses on crucial developmental goals, leading to children having greater comprehensive abilities when they grow up. We hope this article has enlightened parents on the importance of early childhood education and the misconceptions they may have of its purpose.
