　　在孩子考上清华后，很多父母问我是怎样帮助孩子考上清华的？反复询问家庭教育最关键的是什么？我毫不犹豫地说：是孩子的早期教育！是儿童的早期智力开发！我在艾米五岁前花的工夫，在艾米后面的成长过程中被成倍地放大了。我切身的体会到：及时地开启孩子的智慧之门是父母培养孩子第一个最重要的任务！因为在学龄前父母是对孩子影响最大的人，家庭是孩子的第一所学校，父母是孩子的第一任教师！这任务最好是父母亲自来完成，而且这是一旦错过就无法弥补的任务。

After the children admitted to tsinghua university,Many parents ask me is how to help children get in tsinghua?Repeatedly ask what is the most key of family education?I said without hesitation:Is the child's early education!Is children's early intelligence development!I spend time in Amy before the age of five,When Amy was exponentially growing up behind the magnified.My personal experience:Opens the door of the wisdom of the children in a timely manner is the most important tasks first parents raise children!Because in the preschool parents are the ones having the most influence on children,The family is the child's first school,Parents are the first teachers of children!This task is best parents come to finish,And this is once miss won't be able to make up for the task.

　　1、一句名言改变了我的家庭教育观念

1/Words changed my family education ideas

　　如果以17岁智力成熟作为100%的话，50%的智力是在4岁以前获得的。

If intellectual maturity as 100% to 17,50% of the intelligence is achieved before the age of 4.

　　"人的智力在四岁时可以发展到成人的一半！"没错，第一次听到这句话时我大吃一惊。我对早期教育重要性的认识是从这句话开始的，那时我刚结婚，还没有孩子。这是我在湖南教育学院听老师讲《心理学》课时印象最深的一句话。没想到正是这一句让我大吃一惊的名言，改变了我的家庭教育观念，在我今后对孩子的教育中产生了巨大的影响。特别是对孩子的早期教育产生了浓厚的兴趣。

"Person's intelligence at the age of four can be developed to the half of the adults!"That's right,I was surprised when the first time I heard this sentence.I for early recognition of the importance of education begins with the words,I just get married at that time,Also have no children.This is I listen to teacher speak in hunan institute of education[psychology]Class the most impressive one word.Didn't think it is a surprised me,Changed my family education ideas,In my next to the child's education has a great influence.Especially for children's early education produced strong interest.

　　给我们上《心理学》的老师是当时湖南师范大学的一名年轻讲师，课讲得极好，引人入胜。我们是在职教育，班上都是成年人，年龄大的快五十岁了，大多有孩子。老师是在讲人的智力时讲这句话的，很多同学不信，对这句话也没在意，但我信！课后我立即到图书馆查阅资料，我才知道这不是老师在课堂上信口开河，这是美国著名心理学家、芝加哥大学教授布鲁姆在总结追踪1523名婴幼儿长达20年后得出的国际公认的结论：如果以17岁智力成熟作为100%的话，50%的智力是在4岁以前获得的。

Give us the[psychology]Teacher is a young lecturer at hunan normal university at that time,Speak lessons very well,fascinating.We are in-service education,The class are all adults,Older fast fifty years old,Most have children.When the teacher is talking about person's intelligence speak this sentence,Many students don't believe it,Didn't care about this sentence,But I believe!After class I immediately go to the library to look up information,I just know this is not the teacher in class nonsense,This is the famous American psychologist/University of Chicago professor bloom on 1523 infants track for up to 20 years of internationally accepted conclusion:If intellectual maturity as 100% to 17,50% of the intelligence is achieved before the age of 4.

　　真是隔行如隔山，不查不知道，一查吓一跳。我打开了一个知识的宝库：儿童的早期教育太重要了！

Is interlaced, such as the hills,Don't look up don't know,Check a fright.I opened a treasure house of knowledge:Children's early education is too important!

　　小儿刚出生时，脑的重量仅有350-400克，大约是成人脑重的25%。到了1岁时，脑的重量为出生时的两倍，达成人脑重的50%，2岁时为成人脑重的75%。显然在最初的两年内脑发育是最快的。1925年，美国儿科医生格塞尔指出，在学龄前阶段，大脑发育速度快，儿童6岁前大脑的大部分几乎成熟了。此后的大脑、性格和心灵将不会再像学前教育阶段那样迅速发展了。我们永远不会再有这样的机会去奠定智力健康的基础。

Children born,Only 350-400 grams. The weight of the brain,Is into the human brain weighs about 25%.Arrived at the age of 1,The weight of the brain for birth twice,Reached 50% of the human brain,At the age of 2 to 75% of the human brain weighs.Brain development in the first two years, apparently, is the fastest.In 1925,,The American academy of pediatrics doctor gesell argued,In the pre-school stage,Brain development speed,Most of children before the age of 6 brain almost matured.Since the brain/Personality and soul will never like pre-school education stage, rapid development.We will never have this kind of opportunity to lay the foundation of mental health.

　　前苏联教育家马卡连柯说得更形象："教育的基础主要是5岁以前奠定的，它占整个教育过程的90%。在这以后，教育还要继续进行，人进一步成长、开花、结果，而您精心培植的花朵在5岁以前就已经绽蕾。"

The former Soviet union educator yves even ko said more image:"Education is the basis of lay before the age of 5,It accounts for 90% of the whole education process.After this,Education will continue,People grow further/flowering/As a result,And you carefully cultivated flowers before the age of five have been grey."

　　所以，学龄前是大脑发育最快的时期，也是智力发展最快的时期，是心理发展的重要时期，这时受到的教育可能影响终生。这样的时期一生只有一个，一旦错过不可重复，不可弥补！

so,Preschool is the fastest period of brain development,The fastest time and intellectual development,Is the important period of psychological development,When affected by education may be a lifetime.This period of a lifetime,Once miss not repeatable,Do not make up for!

　　一个最直观的例子可以证明这些观点。在我5岁那年，我家邻居来了一位阿姨，她讲的方言很难听懂，她努力想改变自己的语言，直到40年后我再次回到故乡，她还是乡音难改。其实，世界上有很多人在五岁前跟父母学说了一口难懂的方言后，长大了走南闯北一辈子也改不了这方言，可以看出五岁前受到的教育影响有多大。

One of the most intuitive example can prove that these views.When I was 5 years old,Our neighbor came an aunt,She speaks dialect is very difficult to understand,She tried to change their own languages,I once again return to my hometown until 40 years later,She still sounds difficult to change.In fact,There are a lot of people in the world before the age of five theories with their parents after a difficult dialect,Grow up crisscrossed lifetime also can't change this dialect,You can see how big is influenced by the education before the age of five.

　　我庆幸自己在孩子出生之前读到了这些学者的忠告，认真学习了一些教育孩子的基本知识。否则我可能会与有些家长一样，沿袭过去父母如何教育我们、我们就如何教育孩子这种传统的方法。

I'm glad you read these before a baby is born scholar's advice,Learn some basic knowledge of education children.Otherwise I might as well as some parents,Follow the past parents education we how to/This traditional approach we will how to education child.

　　当时我的想法非常简单：既然孩子有50%的智力是在4岁以前获得的，那么孩子四岁前这50%的智力空间越大，17岁以后的100%的智力空间就会越大，为什么我不尽力帮助孩子来扩大这四岁前的50%呢？我要用高度的责任心来对待孩子成长过程中最重要的关键期，并且是一旦错就无法弥补的关键期。

At that time my idea is very simple:Now that is 50% of children before the age of 4,The child before the age of four this 50% of mental space is larger,After 17 years old, 100% of the mental space will be bigger,Why don't I try my best to help children to expand this 50% four years ago?I want to use the high sense of responsibility to treat a child growth process is the most important key,And once the wrong cannot make up for the critical period.

　　我认真学习早期教育的知识，特别是学习婴幼儿的感觉、知觉是如何发展的，学习和运用发展学龄前儿童智力的基本方法，艾米的智力得到了较好的开发，艾米四岁形成了初步的阅读能力，五岁开始自己阅读中学生的科普读物，从小就培养了强烈的求知欲望和浓厚的学习兴趣，幼儿园的老师和很多父母感到惊奇，纷纷问我是怎样教育孩子的，我把自己的做法告诉他们，很多父母不相信，他们宁愿相信自己的判断：孩子聪明是天生的。

I seriously learn the knowledge of early education,Especially in infants and young children's learning/Perception is how to develop,The basic ways of learning and using the intelligence development of preschool children,Amy got better development in intelligence,Amy is four years old formed the preliminary ability of reading,Begin your reading popular science books of middle school students at the age of five,From an early age to cultivate a strong curiosity and strong interest in learning,Kindergarten teacher and was a surprise to many parents,Have asked me how to education child,I told them their own practice,Many parents don't believe it,They prefer to believe your own judgment:Smart children are born.

　　很多父母就这样错过了孩子早期教育这个关键期。

So many parents missed the children early education is the key.

　　之所以我把这句话放在这本书的第一节，就是想让更多的父母受这句话的影响，来重视孩子的早期教育。从这句话我体会到，懂不懂教育的方法是次要的，关键是在思想上对孩子的早期教育的重要性有足够的重视。不重视懂了也不会去做，重视了不懂可以学懂，没有老师可以找到老师，没有教材可以找到好的教材，可以细心地观察孩子的成长，这时你会发现，教育培养孩子确实是天下最有价值的事情。

The reason I put this sentence in the first section of the book,Just want to let more parents affected by this sentence,To attach importance to children's early education.I realize from this sentence,Understand don't understand education method is secondary,The key is in thinking about pay enough attention to the importance of children's early education.Do not take the understand and doesn't do it,Seriously don't understand can learn to understand,No teacher can find a teacher,No material can find a good textbook,Can carefully observe the growth of children,Then you will find,Education child is, indeed, the world's most valuable things.
