Smarter Than You Think

My friend Mo
me send this article New York Times that I found very interesting. More studies supporting the idea of \u200b\u200bdiscovery learning and "natural learning" (a term I do not know if there ** but it opened to invent to contrast to "teach addressed", which seems to postulate that groups of "concerned parents" as followers of Doman method, which has its good ... but only some) ...

"Sadly, Some Parents are likely to take the wrong lessons from These experiments and Conclude That They Need Programs and Their products That will make babies smarter events. Many think That babies, like adults, learn in a Focused Should, Planned way. So Their Parents put Young Children Enrichment classes in academic, or use flashcards to get Them to Recognize the alphabet. Government Programs like No Child Left Behind Preschools to Be urges more like schools, with instruction in specific skills. " (Sadly, some parents seem to have got wrong lessons from these experiments and concluded that they need programs and products that will make your baby even smarter. Many believe that babies, like adults, should learn in a focused, planned. So parents put their young children in academic-enrichment classes or use flashcards (bits) to recognize the alphabet. Government programs such as "No Child Left Behind pushes to become more like nursery schools, with instruction in specific subjects) - (sloppy translation mine)

The article argues that, in light of research, babies have difficulty focusing on learning objectives, since their attention span is still very small (mainly through qe prefrontal area of \u200b\u200bthe brain matures very slowly), however, quickly capture any news. This leads us to conclude that babies learn through exploration, are "designed" for it. And therefore we must let them do so, open toys that allow them to discover their function and purpose as these lessons are also the basis for this adult learning focused that gives us so well in life.

And the article ends:

"But MOST Closely What Children observe, explore and imagine MOST MOST obsessively vividly are the people around Them. There Are not perfect toys; There is no magic formula. Parents and Other caregivers teach Young Children by paying Attention and interacting with naturally and Them, Most of All, by just Allowing Them to play. "(but what children watch more closely, so they explore more obsessive and imagine more vividly are the people around them. There is no perfect toys, there is no magic formulas. Parents and other enseman caregivers provide care to children and interacting with them naturally, and above all Letting JUST PLAYING)

I am 100% agree.
