Features: This book extensively incorporates existing research findings from both domestic and international sources. Its characteristics can be summarized as follows:
1. Theory-Guided: It fully absorbs theories of child development psychology and early education from around the world, using these theories as a guide to structure the book. The framework adopted is internationally recognized, covering areas such as motor skills, language, cognition, self-care, and social skills.
2. Systematic and Unique: Based on a review of extensive domestic and international literature, the book identifies 1,500 training programs. These are then combined and categorized into progressive training schemes that strictly follow the principles of children's physical and mental development, after undergoing rigorous statistical processing (using the latest international IRT statistical methods).
3. Highly Practical: The book emphasizes practicality, drawing on the authors' many years of research experience. Experiments conducted in kindergartens in parts of Zhejiang Province and some families have yielded highly effective results, closely aligning with international experimental outcomes. The training content is easy to understand.
4. Engaging: The book stresses that education and training should take place in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, with a focus on learning through play and training through activities. The educational and training content is designed to be easily accepted by children, aligning with their actual developmental levels and special needs. It avoids overly difficult, complex, or abstract material to stimulate and maintain children's learning interest.
