Methods of early development of children

A single scientific definition of the conceptThere is no "early development". Different teachers, psychologists, pediatricians interpret this phenomenon in their own way. In the general case, early development is usually understood as special techniques aimed at outstripping the development of the child's abilities. These techniques include development and physical, and intellectual, and emotional.

There are many different methods of early development of children. For example, a huge popularity in the world today use the following methods:

• according to Zaitsev;


• Montessori;


• according to Doman;


• by Lupan;


• by Nikitin.

Each of these techniques is named after its authors. For example, the author Zaitsev's method, Nikolai Alexandrovich Zaitsev (1939)birth), - a well-known pedagogue-innovator from St. Petersburg. At the heart of his method is a completely different from the traditional principle of teaching children to reading, counting, foreign languages.

One of Zaitsev's best known tools for the early development of children is his cubes. Early childhood education is widespreadreading with these cubes. Traditionally, a child is taught to read from the study of letters, then pass to syllables, and then to the compilation of words. However, the child who utters his first sounds and words never speaks in separate letters, but always uses only syllables. Therefore, the division of words into individual artificial elements is perceived by the child with difficulty.

Classes with cubes Zaitsev do not assumelong sitting at the table, incomprehensible while the child explains what a letter, sound, vowel or consonant, soft or hard. Learning to read in cubes Zaitseva occurs during the game, fun and entertaining. The peculiarity of these cubes is the different colors and sounds they emit. On the faces of cubes, warehouses are written - pairs from a consonant with a vowel, or from a consonant with a hard or soft sign, or one letter.

Regardless of what method of early development parents decided to teach their child, a number of rules should be observed, otherwise there can be no question of any effectiveness of methods of early development.

At first, you can not develop a child by force. Developing classes will be useless or even harmful, if they are carried out "from under the stick." You can not conduct training sessions with the child, if he expresses a protest, tries to escape, cries. You can not threaten a child with exercises for his faults, nor can he blackmail a child. Only voluntary activities, which the child himself is looking forward to, can bring results.

Secondly, you can not use a technique that is incomprehensibleparents or which causes them to distrust. No method of early development is universal and each child needs an individual approach. Before you start, you should carefully and thoroughly read the description of the entire technique, understand that in the process of the lessons it will be required from the child and what results can be achieved. You should carefully weigh the pros and cons of each method to choose the most suitable for the classes. It is important to remember that only parents and no one else are responsible for the life and health of the child! Only parents can decide whether to apply one or another method to their child.

And, finally, third, any ability of the child can be developed, butnot at the expense of the rest of his personality. In a child, everything should develop harmoniously. If parents persevere in developing the intelligence of their baby, but they will not pay enough attention to the development of his motor activity, then the development of the child will be one-sided, incomplete. We should not forget about emotional development, because this is almost the main component of the overall development of the child.

The methods of early development are developed and collected by the most famous teachers with world names. but for his child, the parent is the best teacher. Sensitiveness, care and care of loving parents will help to choose the method of early development that will suit their child.
