Released in the 70's book on raising children "After three already late" a simple Japanese businessman Masaru Ibuki, still causes a lot of controversy. But, despite this, this method of early development has become popular not only in Japan, but throughout the world.
In this article we will consider the main provisions of the methodology of Masaru Ibuki "After three it's too late".
Early start
Masaru Ibuka believed that it was necessary to start developing his child from the first days of his life, since in the first three years the brain develops very quickly and during this time is formed by 70-80%. This means that during this period, children learn more quickly, and you can create a solid base, which is necessary for obtaining further knowledge. He said that the child will perceive as much information as he can perceive, and everything else he will simply discard.
Accounting for individual characteristics
The whole system of development for each child is compiled individually, in order to identify a range of issues interesting to the child (that is, to recognize his inclinations) and maintain this interest. After all, this is a direct way to determine the future profession, and therefore, the opportunity to achieve great success in life.
The corresponding didactic material
In order to achieve a good result, the child must be surrounded not by self-made visual aids, but by works of art of great people: paintings, classical music, verses.
Physical activity
Ibuka insisted that children should begin to engage in various sports: swimming, roller skating, etc., even when they are only learning to take independent steps. This is necessary for the development of coordination of movement, dexterity, strengthening of all muscles. It is known that strong and well-developed people, more confident in themselves and more quickly acquire knowledge.
Creative activity
The author of the technique considered it necessary to necessarily engage in child modeling, folding paper and drawing. This contributes to strengthening small motor skills in the baby, which leads to the development of his intelligence and creativity. Masaru Ibuka suggested not restricting children to small paper sizes, but to give him large sheets for creativity and not "suggest" how and what to draw so that he could self-extract.
Learning foreign languages
From infancy, according to the author of the methodology, it is simply necessary to engage in foreign languages, or even simultaneously several. For this, he suggested using recordings with lessons recorded by native speakers, since the children have very good hearing. Naturally, when you are engaged with a child, you need to use interesting material for him: games, songs, rhymes with movements.
Connection with music
The next component of early development according to Masaru Ibuk's technique is the formation of musical ear. He proposed instead of popular children's songs to introduce children to classical music, as well as to learn music academically. Ibuka insisted that this would help bring up leadership qualities, perseverance and concentration.
Observance of the regime
Mandatory in his development system Ibuka considered strict regime, with a clear schedule of all classes and hygienic procedures. This is necessary not only for children, but for parents who, in order to do everything, should correctly plan the time.
Creating the right emotional background
But the most important in his development system Masaru Ibuka considered creating the right environment - the environment of love, warmth and faith in his
The main goal of the early development technique of Masaru Ibuka "After three is too late" is not to make a genius out of your child, but to give him the opportunity to have a deep mind and healthy body.
The technique of Masaru Ibuki is certainly different from others, such as the Montessori technique or the pedagogy of Cecil Lupan , but it has a right to exist.
