Every mother wants to see her child bright and creative, open and self-confident. But, unfortunately, not every mother knows how to gently encourage their development. A book once helped me – and today I want to tell you about it.
Masaru Ibuka, in his book "Kindergarten Is Too Late," writes that the first three years of life are a unique period for the formation of a child's intellectual abilities, when every day can become a stage of rapid and comprehensive growth. The title speaks for itself: it is before the age of three that a child has an unstoppable curiosity and desire to learn and explore everything – and it is important to utilize this wisely.
This refers, of course, to methods suitable for toddlers, but the results can be phenomenal.
What is especially important: the author emphasizes that the goal is not to raise a genius. Everything a child establishes before the age of three becomes the foundation for their future learning.
Figuratively speaking, it's as if we are assembling a computer – and how we assemble it determines all subsequent "work." If it turns out to be a powerful machine, it will be capable of anything: any subject will come easily. But if we assemble an ordinary one, there might be difficulties with some subjects.
