Kids' Encyclopedia is the best gift for all children. I see many children who are almost 3 years old and still can’t understand basic fruits and vegetables, and can’t count numbers to recognize numbers. Many parents think that it is a child’s genetic problem, and think that the child will be older. I am very disgusted with this view. The ancients said: "If the clock does not ring, people will not learn." The child is over 2 years old. I still don’t know what to say afterwards. I think it’s a problem of parents’ guidance and education, not a genetic problem. Parents should pay special attention to and help their children learn to speak and learn some basic common sense. And this kind of language and knowledge guidance, I think It should start from birth. Science has long proven that when most normal people are born, their brainpower does not differ too much, but acquired learning will widen this gap, so I think as a parent of a child, you should guide and train your child from the moment of birth. For example, a newborn child can perform color stimulation training, music emotion training, etc. These ordinary training may not be effective in a short time, but as long as you persevere, you will be surprised and discover that the child's learning ability is actually very strong, so parents We must learn and train to guide children, this is very important. This app can be a good tool for training and guiding children. This is the purpose of development, but I hope that parents should train and educate their children in other ways, such as taking their children to read picture books, draw pictures, write, etc. Parents should use it as one of the training tools. In addition, it is strongly recommended that when parents train these literacy cards for their children, if you want to read them to their children, please remember not to make your children happy. Qi, yin and yang strange tune, this will make children learn and imitate, you will have to correct it again in the future, please remember not to do this! I hope that all parents in this world can train their children well, guide and train them well, and make them happier and better! "It is the father's fault" that this kind of scene does not appear in any family! I wish the children of this world grow up healthy and happy!
