Life basics you should teach your child at a young age
The first 5 years of a child's life are the most important time for their brain development, so it is important to raise them to be intelligent, to teach them to be smart, to develop their thinking, to be a good person, to be interested in books, etc. It is a very important time for both the child's physical and mental development. Therefore, here are some things you should teach them at that time.
Studies show that children who experience happiness in childhood are more resilient to the challenges and stresses they face throughout their lives. They have positive social skills, and they have a greater sense of self-love and self-esteem. When it comes to making children happy, it’s not about buying them all the new toys they need to keep at home. Loving them, paying attention to their words, playing with them, understanding their feelings, and treating them like children and friends, all make them happy. That’s why children who are neglected by their parents in their early years are not as happy as children who are treated by their parents. Children who are often told things like, “Your parents are busy… what are you talking about… stay away… stay away…” make them feel unimportant. In that case, the child may feel worthless. In that case, the child will not be happy. They will have less self-love. They will also have less mental strength to face life’s challenges. Therefore, the early years of a child's life are an important foundation for a child to be happy.
2) Teach them to live a healthy lifestyle.
In the early years of a child, parental care is both psychological and physical. It is impossible to make a child physically healthy and not take care of his mental health, but only to make him mentally strong and not physically healthy. Therefore, it is necessary to teach children health information from an early age. You should tell them what is good for them to eat vegetables, what is good for them to eat fruits, and what is not good for them to eat. For example, "If you eat oranges, you will get vitamin C, which will prevent viruses from entering your body from the outside," "If you eat red eggs, your eyes will be as beautiful as those of a rabbit." That is, if your child wants to eat something, he will listen to the explanation with interest and remember it. Ask him what he should eat before eating it. This is a way to give your child knowledge about health.
3) Teach them to be intelligent.
In the early years of a child's brain development, 90% of it is developed. Therefore, when you play, teach, and practice games that develop the child's brain, your child's intelligence will improve. That is the best time to teach and train your child to be intelligent. Nowadays, you can buy flash cards and various books and practice them. Parents can play with your child, listen to your child carefully. Talk to your child as friends. Start teaching numbers and numbers. Have them listen to music. Teach colors. Show them different colors. Teaching your child to be intelligent in the early years will make learning easier for your child throughout his life and make him more intelligent than other children when he goes to school. It is the foundation for education and intelligence for his entire life. If you are not intelligent, you will want your child to learn, but it will not be easy for him to learn. He may be weak in academics and other skills. Therefore, being intelligent will help him to be more intelligent in life and in education and other ideas.
4) Teach him to be responsible.
One of the mistakes parents make is that the child is still young...not able to do anything yet...don't ask him to do anything.... Asking him to do nothing with the thought that he is not yet capable is like asking him to take responsibility. Asking him to take responsibility as much as he can makes the child feel responsible for himself. The feeling of taking responsibility is essential throughout the child's life. Whether it is when the parents are gone or when they are far away from their parents, learning to take responsibility throughout the child's life is a treasure for the child. It will help him to walk his own life. Therefore, give the child small responsibilities according to his age. Don't force him to do things because he is not able to do them. The child will know that it is good to do them, so he will not be bored. He will be self-reliant. When he grows up and has a family, he will become someone who knows that he is responsible for his family.
5) Teach him to read.
Reading is the basis for many habits such as good thinking, being able to distinguish right from wrong, being smart and stable, being soft-hearted, and being kind. A child who reads well becomes a kind heart. He can see many lives in the book, which creates empathy. If he learns, he can learn a lesson. He can think about the mistakes he made in the book and not apply them to his life outside. Then the child will develop good ideas and become a child who can distinguish between right and wrong in life. A child who reads becomes a child who is more intelligent and more understanding than other children. Therefore, parents should teach the child to read in the early years.
6) Teach him to explore the environment.
Child's nature At around 4 or 5 years old, a child begins to explore the environment. Parents should tell their child what they want to know. The child's curiosity encourages the child's ability to think and reason. Tell your child about everything new in the environment. Then the child will feel important and will ask everything he wants to know. If you do not take this seriously, the child will not ask you any questions when he thinks that the parent does not answer all his questions and does not pay attention to you. The more questions he asks, the more curious the child is. The more curious the child is, the parent will answer correctly and make the child understand. Then the child will know more. This means that the child becomes a child who is similar to the child but has more experience, and even if the child is more knowledgeable. In school, we should also teach them to explore the environment and answer questions instead of memorizing the words in the book. This will develop the child's brain, increase the child's knowledge and knowledge. It will make them smarter.
Therefore, since the period from birth to the age of 5 (and up to the age of 7) is the period of strong intellectual development of a child, you can teach your child what you want to teach him for the rest of his life step by step according to his age. It is stated that all the basic things that should be taught at that time must be laid and the foundation must be laid to make the child a good person throughout his life.
