Why should the Germans let their children lose at the starting line

Europeans generally believe that children have their own laws of growth, and they have to do corresponding things at the corresponding stage. On the surface, China's preschool and basic education are solid, but their imagination and thinking ability have been destroyed, resulting in children's habit of passively accepting knowledge and neglecting active thinking.

Putting aside the controversy and judgment on the merits of Chinese and Western education, let's pay attention to the achievements of German education: since the establishment of the Nobel Prize, nearly half of the Nobel Prizes have been won by Germans in Germany (including Germans from the United States, Canada and other countries). In other words, half of the Nobel Prize has been shared by the 82 million people who have won the Nobel Prize, while the other 6 billion or so people around the world have won only the remaining half.

Is it a matter of race? I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Let's take a fresh look at German education and see if their approach is worth emulating. Friends, we need to have a new understanding of the "starting line" and China's education system. The consequence of the "hard drive" is to ruin the future of everything.

That way they will catch up in the future.

It should be to train them and survive to the end.

There are no grades in German kindergartens, and people of all ages are mixed. German primary schools are all half-day learning, with no classes in the afternoon, only extracurricular activities. English is learned from the third grade.

After graduating from the fourth grade of primary school, they enter a higher education school according to the recommendation of their teachers, studying mechanical, technical secondary school or liberal arts secondary school, and then they can go to university. The proportion of university students is not as high as in China. However, why do 82 million Germans share half of the world's Nobel Prizes?

The answer is - don't overdevelop your child's intelligence too early and let your child lose at the starting line.

The "only task" for children before elementary school is to grow up happily. It is believed that only kindergarten children in Germany are not allowed to learn specialized knowledge.

Later, it was discovered that children in elementary school could not learn additional lessons, even if their IQ surpassed that of their peers. Sandra from Cologne wrote: "My son is 7 years old.

I asked the school teacher if he could teach him something extra, since he was 5-6 years old and learned basic reading, writing, and simple math at home. The teacher objected, saying, "You should keep your child in sync with other children." "

Germans believe that when children grow up, they will find their own way and their parents will enter their own world. Instead of confronting them with frustration, fear, and helplessness, they should fall from childhood and "bump" into their courage and skills in the face of life. As a result, "brutal education" has become a popular trend in early childhood education in Germany.

In order to better understand the "cruel education" that was prevalent in Germany, a scholar entered kindergarten. "The Germans never feed their children.

If children are hungry, they will take the initiative to eat. "Teachers only give verbal or behavioral encouragement and cues to children when necessary.

Adults should not force them to do or do anything, as this may inhibit the development of independent behavior in children. Help him do something, and in the future he will only do what others have done, and he will not be creative. ”

"Germans treat their children as seeds," says Dr. Susanna. They need a natural environment to grow.

They should not be too controlled, leaving their children as much space as possible to develop freely. For example, when holding a child, the child's face is facing outward, the eyes are basically the same as the adult's field of vision, the small hands and feet can move freely, and the whole body can be fully exposed to sunlight and air, which is conducive to their adaptation to the natural environment and healthy growth. ”

Because this can inspire them to fight for their destiny, and it is not so urgent.

Because it's a difference in the concept of education, and it's not necessarily a bad thing.

That's because this stimulates the child's competitiveness and allows him to grow faster in the later stages.

This is mainly because their children need childhood, so they can naturally be cultivated well.

I don't know if it's true. But it makes sense. Early setbacks are more conducive to a child's future development. If your child has more of an advantage in waking up early, he will be less able to withstand setbacks later in life.

Who told you that you lost at the starting line, the word "starting line" itself is problematic. People pay attention to the free development of intelligence, thinking, and other abilities, and when they are young, they can't see it, as if they haven't learned anything.

Because the Germans are not stupid, they will not deliberately let their children lose at the starting line, but the difference in educational concepts between the East and the West has caused the current situation.
