It is true that the child is "more scolded and stupid"!Brain science research shows that improper education is "toxic" for children's brains

Why did he stop for a long time when "Roaring" baby was doing his homework? Even if it moves, why do you obviously do the problem? Why do parents and teachers suffer, but their children enter their left ears and their right ears? Why is learning the harder and the worse grades? Dr. Yang Yuankui, head of the Ministry of Biology and Medical Engineering of Southeast University, Dr. Yang Yuankui, head of the Ministry of Development and Learning of the Ministry of Science and Education, has long been studying the emotions of children and adolescents through cross -disciplinary methods of brain science, psychology, education, biology and medicine for a long time. For development and stress management, his years of research shows that children may really "scold the more stupid", and the improper education method is "toxic" to the child's brain.

It is true that the child is "more scolded and stupid"!

Yang Yuankui told the Yangtze Evening News/Zi Niu Journalist that the frontal leaf (especially the forehead) is the control center of the human brain, and it is almost responsible for the high -level cognitive functions of human beings, such as planning, decision -making, judgment, emotional regulation, etc. "But there is a very interesting 'disadvantage' in the Earlot. It will" crash "when it is extremely emotionally fluctuated or stimulated, that is, it will temporarily lose the ability to work."

The reason why this phenomenon exists is actually a very important self -protection ability left by long -term biological evolution to humans: if it is unavoidable in danger, then simply pretend to be dead, restrict physical movements, maybe Can avoid danger. Or simply pretend to be invisible and invisible to avoid strong stimulation of the brain and body in a short period of time and cause more serious consequences.

Yang Yuankui

Yang Yuankui gave an example: Many teachers and parents will find that when they are more severe to the child, the child may stay. No matter what he said to him, the left ear is in, and the right ear comes out. Things may not move for a long time. He explained that this is the third reaction other than "war" or "escape" when facing fear stimulation: "dumb". "Teachers and parents can easily attribute this situation to children's attitudes or habits, but in fact, because of severe blame, criticism, especially roaring, the child's fear is caused. Why are those children who are often roaring their reaction speed or ability to deal with things often lower, the more they scold the more stupid. "

"Remember not to suddenly increase the sound by eight degrees, which is very unfavorable to the development of the child's brain and behavior." He suggested that teachers and parents should "speak well" as much as possible when educating their children, and to be as "six not" as much as possible. ": Don't rush, don't roar, don't urge, don't dominate, don't disturb, don't control, learn non -violent communication, and avoid excessive toxic pressure to children during education because" improper teaching ".

The important pressure management system in the human body -HPA shaft

The harder the study, the worse the grades? possible!

Improper education is really "toxic" to the child's brain. In the process of dealing with many families, Yang Yuankui found that the various problems in family education were inseparable from the 16 words of "raising, not raising, raising infertility, not teaching, and inappropriateness". These issues are a kind of "stress" for children, and most of them are "toxic stress" in psychology. Especially the early long -term neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse and other toxic pressure experience will continue to change the brain structure related to children's memory, attention, emotional regulation, self -control and other capabilities. Health causes difficulty in reverse.

Related studies have shown that when the body is under great physical and mental stress, a large amount of cortisol will be delivered to the brain. Excessive levels of cortisol in the brain will directly infringe the brain hippocampus, leading to abnormal development of the brain and hippocampus, which will affect the development of children's memory and future learning.

"Therefore, for students, inappropriate learning content and methods, and excessive academic burdens may affect the normal development process of hippocampus, lead to a decline in learning efficiency, triggers a vicious cycle of" learning the harder learning, the worse the grades, the worse the grades, . "Yang Yuankui told reporters that like the various" grabbing "in learning seriously violated the child's physical and mental development law, causing too much pressure on the child; when the children and parents were inconsistent, some parents were in the name of" love ". The name of "good for you" inadvertently formed "spiritual control" of children, giving children tremendous pressure.

Yang Yuankui also reminded parents that lack of sleep has become one of the biggest "toxic stress" facing young children in my country. Sleep is a key stage for the formation of long -term memory of human brain. It has a very important impact on the effectiveness of children's learning. The lack of consciousness will significantly reduce the attention and memory of the child, which will affect the learning efficiency. In addition, the lack of conscious children will become irritable, too excited, and even showing symptoms similar to polymophilia. "If you can sleep for half an hour a day, they can better control and adjust themselves to regulate themselves. Emotions, and then better integration into learning; lack of conscious children are more likely to have emotional problems, and lack of consciousness often have a greater impact on girls. "

How to better educate children? Experts!

The new semester has begun, how can parents educate their children better? From the perspective of brain science, psychology, education, biology, and medicine, Yang Yuankui gave 10 suggestions for promoting the healthy growth and efficient learning of primary and secondary school students:

The first is to correctly understand and understand the children's various so -called "problems", and do "growth" parents.

The second is to ensure that children have sufficient high -quality sleep time. As much as possible to ensure that the child has 8-10 hours of sleep every night, and the lunch break is controlled within 30 minutes or about 90 minutes; it is not advisable to make up for too long on the weekend, which will seriously interfere with the sleep rhythm, which will cause the child to use it for at least half a day on Monday for at least half a day. "Volume difference". The third is to allow children to participate in more aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise can promote brain development and relieve stress, so that children to participate in exercise are not a waste of time, but can improve children's learning efficiency and achievements. It is recommended to prepare some suitable sports equipment for children.

The fourth is to help children learn time and task management. Better and efficiently use a limited time to coordinate and manage the relationship between learning, life and entertainment.

The fifth is to help children learn scientific pressure management methods and find the most suitable pressure relief method for them. In addition, it is necessary for families to help children develop one or two hobbies before entering adolescence, which can help children be able to use these interests and hobbies to relieve stress when they enter adolescence. Otherwise, for adolescent boys It is more likely to produce addiction, and it is easier for girls to fall in love with girls.

Sixth is to fully respect the child's interest. Allow children to do something you like to do, even if it has nothing to do with learning, but the premise is health.

Seventh, many children are slow to write homework or do things. Parents should not worry. Respect the child's own learning rhythm and let the child take it slowly. Parents should adapt to the rhythm of the child instead of letting the child adapt to the rhythm of the parents. In particular, pay attention not to urge, forced, and roar children, which will make it more and more difficult for children to deal with problems in life and learning.

Eighth is to create a loose and warm family atmosphere and a positive learning atmosphere for children. If you want to do this, every member of the family should learn non -violent communication methods, learn to "speak well", and be a "mild and firm, strict and not strict" parent.

Nine is to pay attention to children's emotional development and "empathy" for children. Don't just care about children's eating and drinking Lazar's sleep and test results, but also care about the children's emotional changes, guide children to understand and treat their emotions correctly, and discuss more emotions with children in family education.

Ten is to blindly avoid competition. It is necessary to help children learn to compete and cooperate reasonably in the collective, and learn to deal with the pressure brought by competition. The competition in kindergartens, primary and junior high schools is best for collective competition, so that they can cultivate children's awareness of competition and cultivate children's spirit of cooperation.
