Developing Little Einstein?
Salt Lake parents are under false pressure regarding the education of their small
children.
You're feeling it. That’s why you are reading this.
You are faced with an avalanche of sometimes well-meaning but often misguided
information:
Who do you trust?
Start by trusting your own instincts. You have them for a reason.
Consider this:
Each of those overachievers had a traditional early childhood.
Robbing your son of his childhood isn’t a formula for creating little Einstein.
On the contrary, according to the science of how small children develop, accelerated
and rigorous academics for preschool-age children is a formula for frustration and
under-achievement.
America is caught up in a hurricane of errant cultural assumptions about how we
educate our young children.
According to Hirsh-Pasek and Golinkoff in Einstien Never Used Flashcards, “We are
told that faster is better, that we must push learning along at a rapid pace. We are
told that we must make every minute count, that our children are like empty rooms to
be filled by adults who serve as the interior designers or our lives. These
assumptions about children and how they learn are at complete odds with the
messages coming from the halls of academia, where child development experts
have researched how children grow and learn.”
Preschool-Salt Lake.Com provides resources to help parents understand early
childhood education and hopefully take some pressure off you and your children.
Armed with the truth you will choose to relax, balance your child’s preschool
experience and reclaim her childhood.
Ultimately, that is the way to nurture her growing mind and produce a healthy and
successful adult.
Salt Lake parents are under false pressure regarding the education of their small
children.
You're feeling it. That’s why you are reading this.
You are faced with an avalanche of sometimes well-meaning but often misguided
information:
- You are bombarded with hype from chain preschools that purport to teach
your 3-4 year old to read. - Your neighbors are prodding you on the necessity of outfitting your three year
old in a uniform and delivering her to a rigorous academic preschool to give
her a leg up on the competition. - The unity of your neighborhood is torn apart because Emma won the charter
school lottery and her best friend Hayley missed out and must now go to the
public “dumb kid school.” - The radio announcer hawks an expensive phonics program that gets your
son reading before kindergarten, guaranteed or your money back. - The TV continually entices you to invest in electronic educational devices to
pave the way for your toddler to get into an Ivy League graduate school.
Who do you trust?
Start by trusting your own instincts. You have them for a reason.
Consider this:
- Einstein didn’t use flashcards.
- Bill Gates didn’t go to a rigorous academic preschool.
- Almost no Ivy League graduate students read before kindergarten.
- Mozart didn’t listen to Baby Mozart.
