Develop your child’s character at an early age with primary school teaching

For years it has been thought that teaching a foreign language to kids play school would be futile. However, recent studies depict that the best time for a child to learn another language is in the first three to four years of life. Here are some vital reasons for exposing children to early second language learning.

Adults always try to learn languages in a contrived way. Most people, for example, can speak the verbs in French. Yet they find it much more difficult to speak French naturally when they visit France. Yet when people immerse themselves in a language like children, through play and exploration, they can learn a language fast and easily. So the more we become child-like in language learning, the simpler it becomes. Children growing up in a well-rounded environmentlearn to speak at least 2000 simple words by the time they are four years old. Just by observing how babies learn to talk proves that they are natural learners. During the tenure of the first six months of life, babies babble using 70 sounds that make up all the languages in the world. They will then learn to talk using only the sounds and wordsthey pick up from their environment, most essentially from their parents and caregivers. A baby’s brain will then discard the capacity to speak in languages he or she does not hear.

During this tenure and especially the first three years of life, the foundations of thinking, language, vision, attitudes, aptitudes, and other characteristics are laid down. Subsequentlyit would be a waste not to use a child’s natural ability to learn during his or her most important years, whenlearning second language is as easy as learning the first. Since 50 percent of the capacity to learn is developed in the first years of life and another 30% by age eight, early childhood development programs have the chance to encourage early learning and development. This does not mean, however, that 50 to 80% of one’s intelligence, wisdom, or knowledge is formed during early childhood. It simply implies that during the first few years of life, children form their main learning pathways in the brain. There are 6 important pathways to the brain. They consistof learning by sight, sound, taste, touch, smell, and doings. Later in life, everything an individual learns will grow from the information acquired during these years.

Unfortunately,many schools teach foreign languages when students are in high school.  By the time the student reaches high school, the maximum learning period is lost. In these schools, you will find three year olds speaking three different languages fluently. Many people speak different languages, especially at migrant camps where they learn languages quickly.

Every healthy child is born with 100 billion brain cells and each cell makes upto 20,000 connections. Whether these brain cells make connections or whether they die depends on if a child lives in a healthy environment.A healthy environment always provides plenty of sensory stimulation.
