Personally, there is no doubt that family education is more important! But unfortunately, many parents don't realize this at all!
Too many parents think that education is a school matter, which is a big misunderstanding.
Education includes two aspects, namely "teaching" and "education". Ma Yun once said that China's education emphasizes "teaching" but ignores "teaching", which is largely the result of exam-oriented education. Now the schools are all large classes with dozens of students. Besides imparting knowledge, teachers have little time and energy to cultivate children's character, morality and way of thinking.
Teaching is easy, but educating people is difficult. And just "educating people" is the key to children's education. The important task of "educating people" will undoubtedly fall on our family education in the current environment of China. It is so important to put the first button on a child's life that many families should think about it.
What is the content of family education?
In fact, it can be summarized in one sentence, that is, "What is the right to be a man?" Including civilized manners education, public morality education, honesty education, friendship education, discipline education, and the guidance and cultivation of compassion and gratitude. Some parents even understand family education only as helping their children finish their homework or learn piano and dance, which is of course wrong.
What is the key to family education?
It is necessary to remember this sentence, that is, "it is better to teach by example than by example." Parents are originals and children are copies. In most cases, a noble model parent, the child's moral character will not be much worse; On the contrary, if parents have problems in their own lives, such as selfishness, attack and calculation, disrespect for parents, etc. Children are likely to become such people.
Preaching is useless. Parents are sick and can't let their children take medicine. As the saying goes, "it rains all night", now the "cause" of parents will definitely become the "fruit" of children. Where the old man is sitting at the dinner table now is where you will sit in the future.
Is companionship the most important in family education? Don't! Companionship is important, but it is more important to set an example and educate children during the critical window. It doesn't matter if parents are busy. The children watched their parents come and go and grow up in the wind and rain.
Spending a lot of time with children may not have a good educational effect. In daily life, it will get twice the result with half the effort to capture the state of children, especially when they are upset or helpless, and then cut into education.
Of course, education must be combined with family education, school education and social education to achieve the best results, but personally, family education is relatively more important.
For preschool children, family education is the only choice, and its importance is self-evident; After entering school, the weight of school education gradually increases.
With the growth of children's age, the importance of family education is relatively weakened, while the weight of school education and social education is gradually increasing. However, for the vast majority of children in China, the importance of family education is always irreplaceable.
