Tao Xingzhi believes that educating children should be calm, empathy, innuendo, comparison and metaphor, and guide each other's psychology. Many times, a smile is more powerful than severity, and appreciation is more inspiring than criticism. A drop of water wears away the stone, which is better than a rainstorm. It is kind and subtle.
Tao Xingzhi's four sweetnesses are care, tolerance, trust and encouragement.
Extended data:
Tao Xingzhi devoted his life to education and made a pioneering contribution to the modernization of education in China. He not only established a complete educational theory system, but also carried out a lot of educational practice.
Looking at Tao Xingzhi's educational thought, innovation is like a golden thread, which runs through Tao Xingzhi's educational thought from beginning to end. Innovation here refers to getting rid of the "old" that does not meet the needs of the development of the times and creating the "new" that conforms to the social and historical progress.
Innovation also has the significance of breaking idols, superstitions, dogmas and rigid habitual thinking.
