Music prenatal education
Music prenatal education is a method that uses beautiful music to provide the fetus with good artistic influence.
Music has positive significance for the intellectual development of the fetus. Music can stimulate the fetal cerebral cortex and promote the development of brain cells and brain functions. The two hemispheres of the human brain have different functions: the left hemisphere's functions are mainly language, calculation, etc., focusing on logical thinking, also known as the "logical hemisphere"; the right hemisphere's functions are mainly artistic activities, spatial relationships, etc., focusing on image thinking , also known as the "emotional hemisphere." Since the human brain has formed an unbalanced structure in which the left brain is more developed than the right brain in the long-term development, for fetuses whose brains have not yet fully developed, music can be used to develop the right brain and allow the left and right brains to develop in a balanced manner. It has extremely special significance for intellectual development after birth.
Furthermore, music is an art that directly affects people's emotions. For fetuses, due to the imperfect development of the cerebral cortex, the excitation-inhibition process is not very coordinated, and they are often easily excited - that is, fetal movements increase and are difficult to suppress. Therefore, we must be good at using music to regulate the emotions of the fetus so that the fetus can obtain a balance between excitement and inhibition. For example, after a night's sleep, the fetus in the abdomen is still in a state of deep inhibition. At this time, the fetus should be listened to some relaxing music to transition the fetus into an excited state, and the pregnant woman can start the day's activities full of energy. Pregnant women should listen to some soft lullabies before going to bed to encourage the fetus to fall asleep.
Research has found that parents singing is more effective than playing tape recorders and records. For example, if parents often sing songs to their fetuses, the memory of the songs will last longer after the fetus is born. Therefore, if possible, parents, especially pregnant women, should sing to their unborn babies.
Music selection. Medical, acoustic, and music workers have proven through repeated experiments that prenatal education music should choose music with moderate volume, fresh style, and slow rhythm. It is not suitable to use percussion music with a strong sense of rhythm or symphony music with large frequency changes, because the latter two contain more Too much sharp noise can easily tire the fetus.
At present, there are several prenatal education music tapes published by professional organizations on the market, and pregnant women can choose from them. For ordinary people, do not blindly let your fetus listen to other tapes based on your own hobbies.
Music prenatal education method. At present, there are three methods for implementing music prenatal education: microphone method, teaching singing method, and humming method. The microphone method uses a prenatal education microphone to play music for the fetus. The teaching singing method is for pregnant women to gently hum songs, so that the fetus can perceive the beautiful singing voice of the mother, so as to achieve the effect of "mother and child singing together".
When implementing music prenatal education, pregnant women should feel comfortable, concentrated, and filled with love for the fetus, so that the fetus can be nurtured in a friendly and peaceful environment.
Regarding prenatal education microphones, in the past, music prenatal education used tape recorders or headphones. The music played in this way contained a lot of noise, and the frequency and intensity of the music were unstable during playback. In long-term practice, people have developed a microphone specifically for musical prenatal education, and the above problems have been alleviated to a certain extent. When the prenatal education microphone is used, the sound transmission part is placed on the abdominal wall of the pregnant woman, so that the music can be transmitted into the uterus.
Using a microphone for musical prenatal education should be avoided for too long, usually 5 to 10 minutes each time, 3 times a day. Too long a time can easily cause fetal fatigue.
Imagination prenatal education
As a future mother, you must take the trouble to describe the image of your child in your mind after pregnancy. In fact, this is what we call "idea prenatal education" . Since ancient times, there has been a saying in our country that "if you want a beautiful child, you should look at the jade". Modern science has proven that mind-based prenatal education is possible.
First of all, these beautiful wishes can be expressed in our words, deeds, behavior and life, precisely because there are wishes first, and then there is the reality of life. From the perspective of prenatal education, the imagination of pregnant women is also of great importance. It is an important factor in prenatal education through thoughts, transforms and penetrates into the physical and mental feelings of the fetus, and affects the growth process of the fetus.
When the mother is imagining the image of the fetus, she will adjust her emotions to the best state, promote the secretion of more benign hormones in the mother's body, and make the structural combination and skin of the fetus' facial organs develop well, thereby shaping her ideal child. We often see some ordinary-looking parents have very beautiful children, maybe this is the reason. Therefore, you can completely strengthen the desire to "want such a child", look forward to his arrival, and use your own image to shape the ideal fetus.
Specifically, from the moment of conception, you should actively design the image of your child, concretize and visualize your good wishes, and imagine what kind of appearance and character the child should have. What kind of temperament, etc. Often look at some of your favorite children's paintings and photos, synthesize their strengths, form a clear impression in your mind, and depict them repeatedly. For the comprehensive and comprehensive concrete image, silently call out in the bottom of my heart with the firm belief that "this is such a child", so that it can communicate with the fetus in the abdomen. Over time, what you hope for will subtly become prenatal education and be accepted by the fetus.
Call for prenatal education
Call for prenatal education can also be called "dialogue between parents and children", which is the verbal communication between pregnant women, their husbands and the fetus. Pregnant women can not only tell the fetus about things in daily life like stories, but also recite children's songs, nursery rhymes, etc. to the fetus in a planned and progressive manner.
Language is the fundamental feature that distinguishes humans from animals. It plays an extremely important role in human life. Adaptation between people and society and communication between people are all inseparable from language. It can be seen that it is very important to cultivate children's language ability from an early age.
So, how to cultivate the language ability of the fetus? We should start from the following aspects:
The shortcut to cultivate the language ability of the fetus is to induce language in the child during the fetal period. This kind of induction includes two aspects: daily language induction and systematic language induction. Daily language induction refers to parents often speaking some daily language to the fetus; systematic language induction refers to parents listening to some simple children's songs to the fetus in a selective and hierarchical manner.
Daily language induction is relatively simple, and the fetus can usually be narrated in a relaxed and pleasant environment. Generally, the fetus prefers this form and can express his satisfaction with gentle shaking that seems to be "intoxicated". The fetus seems to particularly like the slightly magnetic voice of the father. Therefore, psychologists made a suggestion: ask the father to speak to the fetus. It is conducive to the establishment of a loving and deep relationship with the father after the child is born.
Father talking to the fetus can not only increase the love between husband and wife, allowing both parents to enjoy family happiness together, but also convey the love of parents to the fetus. This also has great benefits for the emotional development of the fetus.
Generally speaking, the content of this kind of conversation is casual. You can ask some simple words in a soft tone, such as: "Baby, where are your hands?", "Your hair is long." Have you come out yet?", "Do you like today's meal?", "Did you hear that song just now? It's called 'Blue Danube'. Isn't it beautiful to you? Do you think so too? Do you want to sing along? Mom will teach you to sing after you are born, okay?", "You must eat well to grow white and fat, and be a smart child in the future", "You won't let your parents down, right? "...
Touching prenatal education
Touching prenatal education is when a pregnant woman or her husband gently touches the fetal part of the pregnant woman's abdominal wall with their hands, so that the fetus can feel and react. Some people call it "touching prenatal education" "Fetal Gymnastics". Touching prenatal care can promote the development of the fetus's motor nerves.
Prenatal care should be performed after 6 months of pregnancy, when fetal movements are more frequent every night. Pregnant women should lie flat on the bed, relax their whole body, and touch the fetus with both hands from top to bottom and from left to right.
The fetus may make slight movements after being touched, and after a period of time, the fetus will match the movements of the parents. But if the fetus reacts violently, stop touching it immediately. At the beginning, even if the fetus does not respond, do not press the abdomen too hard, otherwise there will be side effects.
The stroking prenatal care lasts for 5 to 10 minutes each time, once a day, 3 times a week. If accompanied by relaxed and pleasant music, the effect will be better. Note that pregnant women with premature contractions should not use this method.
With the development of scientific culture, new and scientific methods of prenatal education are constantly emerging. We are all constantly exploring, gradually mastering the secrets of prenatal education and the channels through which we communicate with the fetus.
Exercise prenatal education
“Life lies in movement”, which also applies to fetuses. It can be said that exercise is the only way for fetal growth and development. As early as the seventh week of pregnancy, the fetus begins to move autonomously. From squinting, swallowing, smacking hands, making fists, to raising hands, kicking legs, turning, and somersaults, the fetus can do everything. The fetus's bones, muscles, and various organs throughout the body are exercised and developed during exercise, and he becomes increasingly stronger during exercise. Therefore, around the 18th week of pregnancy, the mother can clearly feel the fetal movement from the abdomen.
What is usually called exercise prenatal education is to stimulate the fetus to exercise in a timely and appropriate manner to stimulate the fetus' enthusiasm for movement and promote the physical and mental development of the fetus. The findings indicate that differences in fetal activity directly affect their ability to move after birth. All fetuses that have received exercise training in the womb will develop movements such as turning over, crawling, sitting, walking, and jumping after birth significantly earlier than those of ordinary children. As the saying goes, ingenuity and ingenuity show that the two are closely related and inseparable. Therefore, the development of movements directly affects the overall development of children's intelligence and physical strength. Therefore, exercise training for the fetus is indeed a positive and effective means of prenatal education.
Fetal exercise training is based on the actual ability of the fetus to move independently and can begin when 3 to 4 months pregnant. During training, pregnant women should lie on their backs and relax their whole bodies as much as possible. First, they should stroke their abdomen back and forth with their hands, then gently poke different parts of the abdomen with their fingers, and observe the reaction of the fetus. At the beginning, the movements should be light and the time should be short. After a few weeks, the fetus will gradually adapt to this training method and be able to actively make some corresponding responses. At this time, you can slightly increase the amount of exercise, preferably 5 minutes each time.
After the 6th month of pregnancy, the head and limbs of the fetus can be touched with the abdomen. From then on, the abdomen can be gently patted and the fetus can be gently pushed with both hands to help it move in the womb. "walk". In addition, if it can be combined with music and dialogue at the same time, more ideal results will be achieved.
