胎教 (Tèiqiào)

胎教 (Tèiqiào), or "prenatal education," refers to practices aimed at promoting the mental and emotional development of a fetus during pregnancy. This concept suggests that a baby's experiences in the womb can influence their future behavior, intelligence, and emotional health. Common activities include playing calming music, reading, or engaging in positive conversations, which are believed to create a nurturing environment. While scientific support for prenatal education varies, many expectant parents embrace these practices as a way to bond with their unborn child and foster a supportive atmosphere for their development.
