Psychologists and scientists around the world are carefully studyingbehavior of children of different ages. Years of research have confirmed that the foundations of learning are laid in children from the moment they were born. These are the basics to the age of three. That is why it is recommended to start developing the baby almost from birth. For such purposes, there are a large number of different methods. This is the Montessori system, the development of the Zheleznovs, the Zaitsev technique and many others. One of the most popular in Japan is the Shichida method. This is a unique system of child development from birth. Consider in more detail what it is.
A little about the author
Макото Шичида – автор уникальной методики, possesses a doctoral degree in the field of education. The professor is a fairly well-known public figure in Japan. For a long time he studied brain. This allowed him to discover many interesting facts that formed the basis of the method developed by him.
Forty years of research and 20successful practice, fully confirmed his views. An amazing person made me look at the possibilities of the child in a new way. Makoto Shichida proves that all children from birth have unique abilities that need to be developed.
Профессором написано множество книг.Those who would like to familiarize themselves with them need to learn Japanese. Unfortunately, not all Shichida books were translated into English, but only 4 of them. In the Russian version there is only one.
Basics of the technique
The author, who studied the brain for a long time,asserts that the right hemisphere dominates in a child under three years of age. If you delve into the anatomy, you can understand how the gray matter functions. The left hemisphere is responsible for the conscious actions of the child. Thanks to him, the baby understands how to stand, walk, sit. The right hemisphere is responsible for unconscious actions that are at a subconscious level. These are different talents, inclinations to learn languages.
In his books, the professor pays a lot of attentionprecisely the right hemisphere of the child. According to him, it is able to remember a lot of information. The Shichida technique is based on the development of the right hemisphere. Catching up with a child under 3 years old can reveal his various creative abilities, develop intuition, photographic memory, quick reading, inclinations to mathematics, and mastering foreign languages.
From the age of three begins to dominateleft hemisphere. The child begins to develop a tendency to logical reasoning, fine motor skills of hands improve, linguistic skills are formed. From this age it is already much more difficult to train the crumbs of sensual perception.
That is why the professor recommends studying with the kids according to his program from 6 months to 6 years.
The basic principles on which the Shichida method is based:
- No talented children exist. All babies are brilliant from birth. It is necessary to identify and develop talents.
- Only as a result of close contact between parents and a child is possible high-quality training.
- In the baby should be developed, along with the intellectual sphere, sensual.
- Classes must be regular and consistent. Otherwise, the results can not wait.
How are classes
Что же представляет собой методика Макото Шичиды?These are complex exercises that develop the right hemisphere in a baby. Of course, it is best to teach a child up to three years. But such lessons are no less useful for teenagers, and even adults.
Начинается урок с расслабления под музыку.Then it is recommended to do breathing exercises. And only then they move on to exercises for the development of the imagination. These simple rules allow you to activate the functioning of the right hemisphere.
After that, developmental games follow, training extrasensory abilities in a child: clairvoyance, intuition, telepathy. Photographic memory is developed by displaying flash cards.
The Shichida technique has many features.So, stories and fairy tales sound not in usual, but in fast tempo. Sometimes it is completely incomprehensible what is being said. This rate contributes to the development of the right hemisphere. In addition, he trains the child speed reading.
Occupation scheme
In Japan, there are many schools that practice the Shichida method. Unfortunately, we do not have such centers. Therefore, parents have to independently engage with the child according to this method.
Let's look at how the Shichida classes look like:
- Relaxation. Requires music with "alpha" -wave. This accompaniment should sound throughout the entire class. Sit in a chair or on the couch comfortably. A crumble sit face down on his knees.
- Дыхательные упражнения.Have a child blow a butterfly or paper bee. These toys are updated periodically, because the crumb will quickly lose interest in them. Over time, ask your baby to blow on imaginary objects, such as a snowflake, dandelion.
- Ball of energy.Imagine that you pick up a ball of energy. Roll it like a snowball, and then pour it onto your crown. The next ball of energy you need to drink. The child must repeat these movements after you. And it is very important to convey information to him so that he understands what he is doing.
- Suggestion.Smile to your baby and quietly say three phrases: “You love”, “You are special”, “You can do everything”. It is not necessary to repeat these words. The essence of this exercise is to convey to the baby how much you love him.
- Occupation on the imagination.A role-playing mini-game is suitable for kids: show how a gnome eats, walks, rests. Older children can dream. For example, offer the child a situation: “We boarded the train and went to the grandfather and grandmother.” What kind of cakes did Grandma bake? With potato? Let your child develop his fantasy.
- Exercise psychic. The Shichida method contains many exercises. Some of them will be listed below.
- Gymnastics for the eyes. For kids, the following exercise will do. Take the bell and wear it in front of the child, up and down, right and left.
- Flash Cards.Choose pictures on various subjects: animals, transport, flowers, etc. You should have at least 100 of them. To activate the right hemisphere, you must comply with certain conditions. Professor Shichida insists on this. Cards should linger before the eyes of a child for no more than one second. Showing the picture, you must call it. This exercise allows you to use both hemispheres at once. The speed of the display activates the functioning of the right side of the brain. When naming a card, the child connects the left hemisphere to work. It should be mentioned about mathematics. The professor recommends showing only the response card. For example, you say a child “One plus one”, and very quickly show a picture with two dots. Instead of points there may be bears, butterflies.
- Work on a photographic memory.You will need similar images that have one difference. Fractions of a second child show one card. Then they show both, and ask the question: "What picture have you seen?".
- Exercises for musical hearing, color perception, training of tactile sensations, recognition of smells. All creative activities follow the main block.
- Suggestion. The exercise ends, which was already mentioned above. Be sure to let your baby feel how much he loves.
School of early development in this method involves regular lessons. For the duration they should take about 30-40 minutes.
Exercises for the development of psychic abilities
This is one of the key points in the methodology. Do I need to develop extrasensory abilities? Such questions arise in almost all parents who are interested in the Makoto Shichida technique.
It should be said that intuition is one ofvarieties of such abilities. This quality helps a lot in life. After all, a person with excellent intuition is able to win the lottery more often than others, to take the “necessary” ticket on the exam. In addition, this quality plays a significant role in various scientific inventions and discoveries.
All games that develop psychic abilities are divided into the following categories:
- Telepathy is the ability to transmit feelings and thoughts at a distance without the use of technical means.
- Clairvoyance - receiving information about any event without the participation of well-known sensory organs.
- Foresight - the ability to predict, anticipate the events that should occur.
- Psychometry - the ability to communicate information about the owner or object through contact with them.
- Telekinesis - the ability to force thoughts to influence physical objects.
To develop such abilities, the professor recommends the following simple exercises:
- Develop telepathy.During the lesson, when the child is sitting on your lap, imagine any shape of a certain color. Try to mentally send this information to your child. Then ask the baby what he saw. For example: "I am sending you a square, what is its color?" Be sure to praise the child.
- Develop intuition.Start with the simplest exercise. Ask to guess which hand you have in your bunny. Under what glass does a bug sit? Then move on to more difficult exercises. Offer the child three kinder eggs, and find out from him in which of them the bear is sitting.
The development of photographic memory
No one would argue that memory training ismandatory component of harmonious development. There are even special educational toys for such purposes. However, what does photographic memory imply? And how is it different from the usual?
A person with a developed photographicmemory, has excellent access to the information they ever received. In other words, such an individual is able to remember any book that has ever been read, and even the pages that he has seen. After all, the information is viewed in his head, as on the screen. Such a memory can be compared with a photographic image.
The following educational games have been developed for training these abilities:
- "What disappeared, what arose?"For the game you need any items. Lay them on the table and show them to the child. Then remove, imperceptibly for the baby, or add 1 thing. The child must guess what appeared or what is missing. It is recommended to start with 3 items. Over time, increase the number of things. To complicate the game, remove 2-3 items.
- "What is hidden in the box?"Put 3-4 items in any container. Cover them with a cloth. For a moment, allow the baby to look at the items, and then close the box. The kid must say what things he saw. Gradually increase the number of items.
The development of logical thinking
For the harmonious development of the child is necessaryto teach him to learn new things, to instill in his child the ability to “invent and act in the mind.” These qualities are acquired by the baby with the development of logical thinking. A child with such a quality is much easier to learn in school, able to solve problems that arise and everyday tasks. He perfectly formulates his thoughts, draws conclusions and conclusions, reasons. Developing logical thinking, you instill in a child such qualities as ingenuity, ingenuity, curiosity and observation.
Most often for children in the classics Shichidaapplied puzzle "Tangram." This is a game that consists of 7 figures designed to collect a specific object. However, one should not limit the development of logical thinking to one puzzle.
You can use any educational toys that you have. The following games are quite popular and effective:
- "Magic Circle".
- "Pentamino".
- "Leaf".
- "Magic Square".
- "Columbus Egg".
- "Vietnam Game".
- Sudoku.
- Domino.
Development of imagination
This is a very important direction in harmoniouschild development. The school of early development according to the Shichida method pays much attention to the development of the imagination. After all, it is the initial step of visualization. People with developed imagination are curious enough. They provide progress in art, science and many other areas. Not surprising. After all, only the person who thinks and knows how to represent the future is able to see the genius in an ordinary subject.
The following games will be great exercises for children:
- "Dinosaur in the park."Offer a small paper park with benches, trees and a plastic figure of any animal. We have a dinosaur. Parents should take a pen with a baby figure and move it around the park. At this time it is necessary to sentence: “Here is a dinosaur. He is walking in the park. Now he eats leaves from the tree. Now he wants to rest and sits on the bench. " Very soon, the crumb himself will start to invent his little stories about heroes: where and why they will go, and what they will do.
- "The chain of memory."This is a very common game in the Shichida technique. It is also called the method of absurd stories. The child, carefully listening to how you invent stories with pictures, will want to compose his own stories. This is quite a fun game and at the same time very serious.
- "What does it look like?"Develop a baby can not only in the classroom. During the walk, notice the child on puddles, clouds, leaves, pebbles. All of these items in their form may resemble certain things that a child encounters in life. Find out what they reminded the kid. Be sure to listen to the child, and then tell us your version.
How to develop speed reading?
Accelerated learning for children is of great interest to parents. Every mother wants her child to read, count, logically reason practically from the cradle.
The method of Shichida includes learning speed reading. The following exercises are recommended for developing this skill:
- Prepare cards with simple ones written on them.in words. It is advisable to start with a three-letter: house, cat, dog. Quickly show the baby cards and remove them. The kid should say what was written on them.
- For very young children will be enoughsingle letters. If the crumb still does not know how to talk, then prepare the same cards for him. After showing the baby a picture, suggest to pick one from his collection.
As you may have guessed, the child develops a photographic memory during this activity. In addition, this exercise prepares your child for speed reading.
Hugs
Developing a child, do not forget about an important component of your relationship with a crumb. Be sure to show him your love. Makoto Shichida advises be sure to hug the baby.
An excellent example is the followingsituation. Ask the crumbs to help you wash the dishes. When the child copes with the assignment, be sure to praise him: “Thank you for your help! You helped me a lot! I love you very much!". Hug your baby and do not let go of your embrace for 8 seconds.
This time is enough for yourlove has reached the heart of the crumbs. This exercise is also included in the technique of an amazing professor. It lays down the basics of a harmonious relationship between a child and parents.
Opinions about the method
What do experts think about such child development?and parents? Experienced teachers appreciated the method developed by Professor Shichida. Reviews of experts fully confirm the effectiveness of such exercises.
After all, they use all the "means of communication" with the brain of the baby: music, visual images, logic tasks, games. In addition, the pattern of employment is correctly built.
No less delight is the technique of the parents.Such classes are very interesting for children. Kids learn with pleasure. In addition, many mothers very quickly notice excellent results. Parents are especially surprised by how quickly photographic memory develops in crumbs. Many children, returning from kindergarten, are able to accurately restore who was dressed in what and what.
Unfortunately, this technique came to us completelyrecently. Therefore, it is difficult to say about longer results. But the parents who decided to develop the baby according to the recommendations of Shichida, leave only rave reviews about her.
