One mother complained about her son who is now sitting in class 1 SD admitted that he had tired of school. He was worried cause it was little too quickly schooled. Really too early to make a child's school quickly bored?
By the government, Early Childhood Education (ECD) has been recognized as one way of preparing children before entering higher education. In the 80s, people are not familiar with early childhood but immediately Kindergarten (TK).
Then what is the nature of early childhood for children? The core early childhood for children aged under five, says education expert, Henny Supolo Sitepu, MA, is to learn from playing.
"This program is not a school in a general sense but really play groups," he said, Tuesday (03/01/2011).
In early childhood, children can play with their peers but with a more directed activity on the development of intelligence.
Note the Content Lessons
A mother named Goddard vent about the experience of 'bitter' with a playgorup, where his 'school' first. Goddess initially attracted her baby enter into the institution because it has a curriculum combined playgroup between Indonesia and Singapore.
But lately, he did not know if it's there in the playgroup's exam system. "They say the atmosphere is like learning to normal, not like exams. But in fact the child must complete all tasks assigned," he said. Goddess rate, charge such material is too heavy for children aged three years.
According to Henny, that's one thing to be aware of parents before embarking on early childhood education for their children. Parents, he said, must realize that learning activities that are not in accordance with the development and needs of the child can lead to boredom. Indeed, sometimes the play was only limited mention of it, while the material provided did not consider the ability of the child at that age.
The children are also usually easily saturated if learning is made very routine and regular basis, says child development psychologist from healthy roots, Alzena Masykouri, M. Psi. Or, he added, could also if there is coercion that goes beyond its capacity.
"If boredom was related because that little too fast in school did not feel right," Henny said.
The positive side many
Apart from that, said Alzena, in fact many positive aspects that can be received by school children from an early age. "Socialization and self-reliance is an aspect which is often a positive point for children who had'sekolah 'from an early age," says psychologist who is fondly called Zena.
At an early age, or since the age of three, children are introduced to the basics of formal learning. The key word is recognition through habituation. And as long as the methods used by the appropriate school, the recognition process will bring positive impact for children.
Education that are structured and routine should only begin when children enter elementary school. Formal attitude in learning, continued Zena, usually accomplished children at the age of eight years. At this time the responsibility of learning has developed.
Bored No School for
Telti Selecting 'School'
Find out learning activities at each playgroup. For the age of three years, learning activities should be varied with a maximum duration of two hours considering the range
their attention is growing. Its activity was, said Zena, better emphasis on exploratory and develop the capability themselves.
Try Homeschooling
"In this way, parents carry their children on their own education," said Zena. With this method, learning materials can be more relaxed, through the daily activities of the child at home. According to him anymore, a homeschooling method could be one way out for the children who appeared to be bored in school.
Create Opportunities to Play
Parents should not burden children with various lessons when he has got a lot of 'burden' of the school. When children feel still have many opportunities to play, he's certainly not lazy school.
