Education lies in "awakening", not urging children to grow up.
A father was carving, and the child asked, "How can I carve a good work?" Father said two words: "wake up". If you want to carve a fierce lion, you have to awaken it from the soul sleeping in the stone and save it from the imprisoned stone. This little boy is Socrates, an ancient Greek thinker, philosopher and founder of western philosophy.

From this story, I also learned that educating children also needs "awakening". Our children, especially those who we think have poor grades, are like the stone lion that their father is carving. If you simply polish them from the outside, they will never be a good work. If you blindly suppress your child's problems without thinking about how to help your child solve them, awaken your child from ignorance and confusion, and stimulate your child's natural potential and inner strength, then your child will never be excellent.

Each of us has many personal experiences to prove this point: maybe we once dreamed of mastering a certain skill or trying to reach a certain height in a certain field, but no matter how hard we try, we can't realize our wishes; In other words, we used to know some people who always get twice the result with half the effort in some things. We often say, "this is a gift, they are born perfect", so those children who are better than our children are born with talent, and so should they.

I want to tell you here that decades of scientific research have proved to us that for most people, in most non-sports fields, "talent" is not an absolute condition for obtaining high-level professional ability.

What do you mean? Most of the children we think are excellent are actually no different from our children. Their excellent learning stems from their early awakening of learning motivation, and their children can keep their interest and motivation in learning by constantly getting instant feedback. Build a good learning reward cycle through continuous learning reward and ability improvement, so as to maintain a better desire; Coupled with good study habits and efficient learning methods, who is not excellent is excellent? Is it so hard for our children? Not difficult! It's just that many times parents don't know how to guide. In fact, the younger the children, the more they will guide, especially the children in primary and secondary schools. This is the golden age of guidance.
