Why You Shouldn't Teach Your Child to Read at an Early Age
A child who can read at two or three is a source of pride for parents. Of course, it's so nice to show off your little prodigy. But does the child need it? Is it right to load his brain with reading almost from infancy? Disagreements cannot be avoided, but we have strong arguments that this should not be done.
Today's edition. "Site" tells Features of Early Child Development And she explains how that might turn out.
Early development is fashionable. Every second parent is concerned that the child learns to read, write and almost build spaceships in preschool age. Who needs it more, the child or his parents?
Many parents believe that it is important to teach their child to read as early as possible. Someone thinks that this is an indicator of high intelligence, and someone does not rest the child of a neighbor on the fourth floor, who began to read before talking. The reasons for all may be different, but the essence of this does not change.
But the future genius of the child has nothing to do with early reading. The main task for a child in 2-3 years is to learn the world and develop in a free play form. Learning to read takes time and distracts from free play. This process requires concentration and goes against natural needs.
By and large, letters are superfluous information for an early age. There is enough in the world that a child must learn before the age of three: colors, smells, tactile sensations. The child gets acquainted with the world around him, learns to interact with him. And at this stage of development it is much more important than letters, for them the time will come later.
Until the age of seven, the parts of the brain responsible for recognizing letters are not yet developed. If you actively engage them before the right time, you can damage other parts of the brain. It turns out that the high development of certain skills, such as reading, is achieved by reducing intelligence or communication skills.
Of course, if the child wants to read or instantly memorizes the alphabet, you do not need to prevent this. There are always kids who have the talent. Then you need to develop it, but force the child is not necessary.
By doing this under duress, you can steal more important things from a child. For example, such a gross violation of the natural course of things can affect the normal development of speech. The natural perception of speech, imitation and pronunciation will be disturbed.
It turns out that the left hemisphere of the brain will steal from the right, and this is the creative and emotional side of a person. Musical hearing, drawing abilities, sense of rhythm and socialization skills are what parents steal from a child, forcing him to read at an early age.
You can try it, nothing bad will happen. However, you need to immediately understand whether this happens to the child or not. If not, then it makes sense to allow the baby to engage in more age-appropriate activities: sculpting cakes in the sandbox, playing with dolls or cars. May he fully enjoy the beautiful world of childhood.
To learn to read and write, the child will still have time. For this purpose, the whole year of preparation for school and the first class was invented. In addition, practice shows that reading skills are the same for those who read from early childhood, and those who learned this already in school.
Child development experts say it is more important for parents to read books to their children. This develops, strengthens the attachment of the child, and also lays an excellent foundation for the future. It's going to be a lot more useful.
Every mother knows what will be best for her child, but we all tend to exaggerate and overdo it. That’s why you should always think about whether your child needs what you do.

We also talked about why we shouldn’t raise children. Advice from a professional teacher.
We also shared an article by a young mother in which she explains in detail why praise is more important than punishment.
