Towards a Prenatal pedagogy? An educational proposal

Abstract

More and more scientific discoveries show that the prenatal period is a fundamental in human life. In it, the person constructs the bases of your health, your emotions, your balance, your relationship skills, your intelligence, your creativity. It does so by means of physical and psychological materials provided by her mother or her mediated environment. But it is not just that. The mother, his thoughts, his feelings, his way of living, their inner states, may intentionally raise the child before birth. It can promote the awakening of all his latent abilities and early development, whether physical, emotional, intellectual or ethical. Inform prospective parents and educate them in this regard seems a didactic imperative of an emerging Prenatal Education. His epistemological challenge would be to investigate to generate knowledge and scientific theory, and ultimately with contributions from life sciences and health, allowing the development of a social and professional prenatal education founded. Since it could be aspirated to facilitate people better conditions for development and education throughout his life, both personally and socially. This education may already be done from the curricular proposals and teaching programs of schools, colleges and institutes, by providing the prospective parents all this wealth, based on scientific evidence, both of Prenatal Education and other health sciences disciplines. For this, it is essential that this knowledge be integrated gradually, at first instance, in the training of researchers, education professionals and families.
