Early Childhood Education
 

　　It is a tradition in China that parents have a high expectation of their children. As education is considered the most important way to success, young couples today are paying more and more attention to their children's early education. Many parents send their children to classes of English, drawing, music, dancing and so on. On the other hand, many people are strongly against this phenomenon. In my opinion, early childhood education can be beneficial to children's future when it is conducted properly.
 

　　First of all, good early education can be a lifetime benefit to children. As we know, children are generally quick to grasp new knowledge and master a new skill. So childhood is usually believed to be the golden time to learn. Many people share the experience that what they have learnt in their childhood helps lay a solid foundation for their future success. Many well-known musicians, sports stars, and scientists owe their success to early childhood learning experiences.
 

　　However, early childhood education should not be conducted by force. Many young couples, with high expect ion of their children, often force their children to learn when the children are reluctant不情愿的 to or fail to meet their requirement. This often results in children's loss of interest in learning and confidence in them. Therefore, if parents really believe it is important or necessary for their children to learn some knowledge or a certain skill, they should first try to arouse their children's interest in it. When the children do have the desire and the potential, parents can provide them with good conditions, which will not be too late.
 

　　In conclusion, early childhood education is important for children's development. It, however, should not be carried out only according to parent’s will. Children's interest should also be taken into consideration.
