Masaru Ibuka is a Japanese businessman and engineer, one of the founders of the world famous Sony company. He is also the author of successful methodologies for the education and early development of children.

In this work, the author proves that the first three years of life are the most important life span in the development of your baby. It is at this age that the character of the little man is laid, and in the future it will not be very easy to adjust. It is during these years that the child absorbs all available information, like a sponge. Therefore, it is necessary to develop his intellectual level just from the age of three. It will be much easier and faster for him to perceive information right now than in later years. But you should not rape a child by stuffing everything that comes into his head. Still, it will not lead to any positive results. The child remembers only what he himself will be interested in. Also, in order for a child to grow up happy, smart and kind, it should be that he always feels the support of his parents, their love and affection, moreover, not only in relation to him, but also to each other. Only in a truly happy family can a harmonious personality grow.

This psychological guide teaches us to talk to our children. After all, communicating with them, as with adults, we make it clear that they are important to us, we are attentive to their point of view, and most importantly, we gradually teach the child to make decisions independently. Do the right thing, but don't be led. From a young age, you need to keep the child with you so that he watches how you do ordinary, household chores. Let the child be his assistant, even if in a comic, light form, and you will instill in him diligence in the future, give a sense of the importance of doing everyday things.

Also, the author did not bypass aesthetic moments in his book. In the harmonious development of the child's personality, an important link is calm, classical music, drawing, learning foreign languages and much more. The first instills in the baby a good taste, the second - lays the foundation for creativity.

The book "It's Too Late After 3", written in an easy, accessible language, will be useful both for couples who are just expecting a baby, and for those who already have experience in raising children. It will allow you to find and develop the individual abilities of your child, turn even a noisy fidget into a child obedient to his parents.

(Fragment)

Every mother wants to see her child smart and creative, open and self-confident. But, unfortunately, not everyone knows how to contribute to the careful development of the intellect of their baby.

Masaru Ibuki's book "It's Too Late After Three" talks about the necessity and importance of early childhood development. After all, the first three years of life is a unique period in the formation of a child's intellectual abilities, when every day can become an important stage in rapid and comprehensive growth.

This book turned my life around. She helped to correctly and consciously approach the development of my own children. And I have not yet met a single mother who, after reading this book, would not be imbued with the idea of early development. We are sure that now we will have more such mothers and fathers.

By initiating the reprint of Masaru Ibuki's book, we want to give parents of young children the pleasure of reading it. And they will get even more pleasure from the future successes of their kids. We really want our country to have more smart children and happy parents.

Introduction to the English edition

If, behind the kindness and benevolence with which this book is written, you feel the importance of what it tells about, then perhaps, together with other similar books, it will make in your imagination one of the greatest and kindest revolutions in the world. And I sincerely wish that this goal will be achieved.

Imagine a revolution that will bring the most wonderful change, but without bloodshed and torment, without hatred and hunger, without death and destruction.

This kindest of revolutions has only two enemies. The first is inveterate traditions, the second is the status quo. It is not necessary that ingrained traditions be shattered and ancient prejudices disappear from the face of the Earth. No need to destroy something that can still bring at least some benefit. But what seems terrible today, let it gradually disappear as unnecessary.

Masaru Ibuki's theory makes it possible to destroy such realities as ignorance, illiteracy, self-doubt, and, who knows, maybe bring, in turn, a reduction in poverty, hatred and crime.

Masaru Ibuki's book does not make these promises, but the astute reader will have this perspective at all times. At least such thoughts were born in me while I was reading this book.

This wonderfully kind book makes no startling claims. The author simply assumes that young children have the ability to learn anything.

He believes that what they learn without any effort in two, three or four years, in the future is given to them with difficulty or not at all. In his opinion, what adults learn with difficulty, children learn with play. What adults learn at a snail's pace, children are given almost instantly. He says that adults are sometimes lazy to learn, while children are always ready to learn. And he says it unobtrusively and tactfully. His book is simple, straightforward and crystal clear.

According to the author, one of the most difficult activities for a person is learning foreign languages, learning to read and play the violin or piano. Adults master such skills with difficulty, and for children it is an almost unconscious effort. And my life is a vivid confirmation of this. Although I have tried to learn as many as a dozen foreign languages, having worked as a teacher on all continents, teaching children from both the most privileged sections of society and the very bottom, I really know only my native language. I love music, but I can't play any musical instrument, I can't even memorize the melody properly.

In order for our kids, growing up, to be fluent in several languages, to be able to swim, ride a horse, paint in oils, play the violin - and all this at a high professional level - they need to be loved (which we do), respected (which we do rarely) and put at their disposal everything that we would like to teach them.

It is not difficult to imagine how much richer, healthier, safer the world would be if all children knew languages, arts, basic sciences before they reached adolescence, so that later years could be used to study philosophy, ethics, linguistics, religion, and also art, science and so on at a more advanced level.

It is not difficult to imagine what the world would be like if children's great desire to learn was not blunted by toys and entertainment, but encouraged and developed. It is easy to imagine how much better the world would be if the hunger for knowledge of a three-year-old child was satisfied not only by Mickey Mouse and the circus, but also by the works of Michelangelo, Manet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci. After all, a small child has an infinite desire to know everything that he does not know, and he does not have the slightest idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is bad and what is good.

What reason do we have to trust Masaru Ibuki's advice? What speaks in his favor?

1. He is not a specialist in the theory of education, therefore, does not know what is possible and what is not: a necessary condition for making a significant breakthrough in an established field.

2. He is definitely a genius. Starting in 1947, when his country was devastated, he founded a company with three young partners and $700 in his pocket, which he called Sony. He was one of those pioneers who raised Japan from ruins and despair to the level of a world leader.

3. He not only talks, he does. As Acting Director of the Early Development Association and Director of Talent Education at Matsumoto, he is currently enabling thousands of Japanese children to learn through the program described in this book. Masaru Ibuka proposes to change not the content, but the way a child learns.

Is it all doable or is it a rosy dream? Both. And I am a witness to that. I saw the newborn children of the Timmermans swimming in Australia. I heard four-year-old Japanese kids talking in English with Dr. Honda. I've seen very young kids do complex gymnastics under Jenkins in the USA. I saw three-year-olds playing violin and piano with Dr. Suzuki in Matsumoto. I saw a three year old child reading in three languages under Dr. Versa in Brazil. I saw 2 year olds from Sioux ride adult horses in the Dakotas. I have received thousands of letters from mothers all over the world asking them to explain to them the miracles that happen to their children when they are taught to read from my book.

I think this book is one of the most important books ever written. And I think that all parents living on Earth should read it.

Since ancient times, it has been believed that outstanding talent is primarily heredity, a whim of nature. When we are told that Mozart gave his first concert at the age of three, or that John Stuart Mill read classical literature in Latin at the same age, most people simply respond: “Of course, they are geniuses.”

Foreword

However, a detailed analysis of the early life of both Mozart and Mill suggests that they were strictly raised by fathers who wanted to make their children outstanding. I assume that neither Mozart nor Mill were born geniuses, their talent developed to the maximum due to the fact that they were created favorable conditions from early childhood and were given an excellent education.

A book by the Japanese pioneer in early childhood development, Masaru Ibuki.

The author of this book believes that young children have the ability to learn anything. He reflects on the huge impact of the environment on newborns and offers simple and understandable teaching methods that contribute to the early development of the child. In his opinion, what adults learn with great difficulty, children learn playfully. And the main thing in this process is to introduce new experience in time. But only the one who is next to the child every day can recognize this “on time”. The book is addressed to all mothers and fathers who want to open up new wonderful opportunities for their young children.

A few decades ago, Masaru Ibuki's theory overturned traditional ideas about early childhood development. The book became popular all over the world (it is called the Book of the Century) and it gained a lot of followers. The main idea is that during the first three years of life a child has the highest potential for learning. The main thing is not to be late.

The book does not provide clear practical tools on how to engage in child development, but it answers the main question "Why?". Why is it necessary to engage in the development of children under 3 years old and why it is so important for their future.

Glen Doman, in his introduction to the English edition of the book, described it as follows: “This book is one of the most important books ever written. I think every parent on earth should read it."

The book "After three it's too late" became very popular in Russia. Almost all centers of early development include the book among the recommended reading in the first place.

According to Glen Doman, director of the Institute for Human Potential Development, who wrote the foreword to Masaru Ibuki's It's Too Late After 3, it is one of the most important books ever written and should be read by every person who is parent.

The author of the book is confident in the ability of young children to learn anything, and gives his arguments on the topic of how the environment affects newborns. What adults learn with great difficulty, children learn easily - you just need to use special techniques, which are also discussed in the book. The most important thing is the ability to start helping the child learn new experiences in a timely manner, and only the one who is next to him can do this.

About Masaru Ibuka

Masaru Ibuka is a Japanese entrepreneur and manager, co-founder of Sony Corporation, a man whose engineering ideas helped make Japan one of the leaders in electronics and technology, and creator of innovative young children.

Ibuka took up the development of children due to the fact that his own child was lagging behind in mental development. Having gained experience in the process of his upbringing and education, as well as resorting to the help of specialists, the author created several organizations - the "Early Development Association" and the "Training of Talents" school. Then the book "After three it's too late" was written, which became a bestseller and found a response in the hearts and minds of many readers around the world.

Summary of the book "After three it's too late"

The book consists of an introduction, a preface and five parts. The first part is devoted to the potential of the child. The second part talks about the impact of early experience. The third tells about what is useful for the baby. The fourth part reveals the principles of education. And from the fifth part you will learn about what should not be avoided in the process of education.

Of course, we will not retell the whole book to you (it will be much better if you read it yourself), but still let us tell you about some of the interesting and important points that seemed to us.

Part 1. Potential opportunities of the child

Through research and brain physiology, it has been found that the key to the development of a child's mental potential is his own cognitive experience in the first three years of life, while the brain cells are developing. There are no children born geniuses, and no children born fools. Of primary importance is the stimulation and degree of brain development at the initial stage of life, and this is the period of up to three years. It's getting late for kindergarten.

The only purpose of early development is to provide the child with an education that will enable him to have a deep mind and a healthy body, as well as make him smart and kind.

Many parents and professionals believe that it is wrong to consciously educate a small child, because. Information overload negatively affects the children's nervous system. However, sending children to kindergarten, they immediately abandon their position, become strict and attempt to teach children something. But it should be done differently, namely: to deal with the child in the first years of life and exert parental influence.

Part 2. The influence of early experience

It is the environment of the child that matters most, not the genes. Even twins will be drastically different if raised by different parents.

If the determining factor in the process of formation of abilities was the origin, then the children would adopt the profession of their ancestors, but life is much more mysterious, and the child may receive a completely different profession than his parents.

The child is affected by things that we are not even aware of. What may seem devoid of meaning to us, children may perceive completely differently, and this something may even become the basis of their entire future life. Those impressions that a person receives in childhood shape how a child will think and act in the future.

Part 3. What is good for the baby

To begin with, it is important to say that there are no ready-made schemes for teaching babies. The advice offered in this book is only an idea that any mom can either accept or reject any kind of parenting advice.

It is necessary to carry the child in your arms as often as possible, because. it gives him a lot of positive emotions.

No need to be afraid to take the baby with you to bed, because. this is extremely beneficial for his mental and psychological development.

Study with your child for at least an hour a day, and you will notice that the degree of his intellectual and noticeably increases.

In no case do you need to lisp with the child, because. the use of "children's" language during communication with the baby significantly slows down its development.

It is necessary to develop in the child the ability to reason, evaluate and perceive. This is done only through the way parents interact, what they do, how they feel, how they communicate with the child, etc.

As often as possible, the father should communicate with the child, because it is he who is able to play the role of both a friend and an assistant, both for the spouse and for the child. Remember that maternal efforts alone are not able to help achieve harmony in the family.

The child needs to be praised, not scolded, even if punishment seems to be the most effective method for you. Punishment can cause the opposite reaction. But praise should be approached very carefully.

Part 4. Principles of education

Among the principles of education are the following:

You must stimulate and guide the child to order. Here it must be borne in mind that the best motivation for a child will always be interest; Interesting things will always seem right to the child, and uninteresting things will always seem wrong; repetition is the best way to stimulate interest; develop the child's imagination and imagination. Also keep in mind what needs to be developed in the child and always tell the truth about the topic of sex.
You must train the character of the child in infancy. This can be achieved by learning to play the violin, memorizing poetry and surrounding the baby with only the best that you have. Remember that early development forms traits, and success in one thing adds confidence in other endeavors.
You must develop skills and creative thinking in your child. Give the baby pencils as often as possible, buy toys selectively and do not allow them to be overabundant so that the child’s attention is not scattered. It is not necessary to remove everything that can be dangerous for the child (be careful, of course). Let your baby do modeling, cut out paper patterns and fold various shapes; play - all this develops the makings of creativity. Do not forget that walking is extremely useful for children, but it is necessary to train as often as possible.

Part 5. What should not be avoided. A look into the future

The main ideas of the last chapter we will give only thesis:

Early Development Is Not Kindergarten Preparation
Nothing is more important than raising children
Don't force your child to do anything against their will.
Children are not the property of their parents

You will find a detailed explanation of the above theses in the book.

Afterword

In the afterword, the author expresses his sincere hope that the book "It's Too Late After Three" will become for readers a way not only to spend time pleasantly, but also useful, and that readers will be able to feel the importance of the timely development of their child.

Unfortunately, parents do not always have the opportunity to create the best conditions for the development of their children, but this should not be a problem. Today, there are more than 40 specialized professional baby clubs in Russia, where children develop fully, and the ideas of Masaru Ibuki are taken as the basis. Although, of course, it is not at all necessary to send your child to such a club, but then you will have to make every effort if you want your child's development process to be complete, harmonious and of high quality. The first step towards that is to read this book.
