Good education is self-exploration
Plato, a famous educator and philosopher in ancient Greece, said: "Where a person is guided by his education since childhood, he can decide where he will go." What is the best education?
It is parents who guide their children to form habits and let them appreciate and explore by themselves. Jiang Yang and Qian Zhongshu have a daughter named Qian Yuan.
They love their children but don't drown, and they never scold their daughters. Their daughter saw that Jiang Yang and Qian Zhongshu loved reading, followed their parents, and still took a book and read it according to the pattern, gradually becoming enlightened. When Qian Yuan was learning a foreign language as a child, she had a difficult word, but she didn't look it up in three dictionaries. She came to ask her father, but he didn't tell her and asked her to keep looking. She found it in the fifth dictionary.
On one occasion, Jiang Yang and Qian Zhongshu discussed ancient poems, and Qian Yuan was fascinated.
The next day, my daughter asked her father to tell her about ancient poetry, but Qian Zhongshu said, "What is there to tell about ancient poetry? See for yourself! "
In this way, Qian Yuan, at an early age, began to study independently for knowledge. Until the second and third times, when she still didn't understand, her father would give her simple instructions, and she understood in an instant.
After growing up, Qian Yuan dropped out of school twice because of illness. It is because of this powerful self-study ability that he taught himself various subjects at home, including algebra. Every time he takes an exam, his grades are amazing.
It is this seemingly "lazy" method that taught a diligent daughter.
Over time, children have developed the habit of being brave in exploration.
With the initiative and methods of learning, learning will become easier, and the more you learn, the more energetic you will be. It is natural to get good grades.
Qian Zhongshu and Jiang Yang know better than anyone that only by actively exploring their own learning can they truly internalize their knowledge and grow up in their own bodies.

A good education is to appreciate the body.
The best education is seamless education, which is the highest state of education and the basic requirement of education.
Some people say that education fails when children think you are educating them.
When compulsory preaching is useless, when severe criticism makes children rebel, can we hide our educational intentions and unconsciously cultivate a good child?
Li's daughter, Li Yan, was born with cleft lip and palate, but because of his education, she became very confident and brave.
Before the child could walk, they took her for scientific observation.
Li chose a fixed place near the Ming Tombs Reservoir, with 24 solar terms every year. That day, they tried their best to go to that fixed place to test the water temperature and air humidity.
If it is a thorn, they go to find a waking bug, and they will recognize plants.
It snowed heavily on New Year's Day when she was one and a half years old. They went climbing in Lingshan, a famous hiking spot in the suburbs of Beijing.
The snow is knee-thick, and the thatch on the top of the snow is seventy or eighty centimeters high, which is probably the height of the child at that time.
He parted the grass with a stick and let the child go forward.
In this way, the family took all kinds of tools and a thick Compendium of Materia Medica, and persisted for seven years without interruption, 160 times, observing temperature, water temperature, plants, animals, specimens and so on.
When the child was over 3 years old, he took her to see the Diamond Sutra with more than 5,000 words.
He believes that on the road of life, when one day she has the ability to interpret the Diamond Sutra or discovers her own strength, that year's education may change from recessive to dominant.
They have experienced mountain climbing and reading the Diamond Sutra, and these experiences will become the inner strength of the child and accompany her all her life.
In order to cultivate his daughter's various interests, he also took her to visit the Forbidden City forty or fifty times. A big treasure house of culture can cultivate a big pattern from an early age.
He hopes that when his daughter grows up, she will become a person who is not so easily knocked down by failure.
In fact, in the final analysis, when it comes to the method of education, love is beyond everything, but it needs to be done with practical actions. Education is to set an example. When you do something seriously, children will naturally imitate it and take root in their hearts.

A good education is to cultivate character.
Dewey, an American psychologist, said that education is growth, growth is seamless, and education is seamless.
The famous educator Suhomlinski said: Concealing educational intention is one of the most important factors in educational art. When students realize your educational intention, it is difficult to highlight the educational function.
Every child is a piece of jade, how to become a boutique? Do you want to make a beautiful meat cleaver in the future? Or a hoe?
This is worth carving and thinking by every parent in the long education.
The art of education is to educate in a natural and harmonious way without trace, so that children can find their best self and achieve their greatest self.
We hide our educational intentions, not because we don't have educational intentions, but because we don't let our children feel pressure and control, which leads to rebellious psychology.
Bill Gates has three children, and his education for them is also unique.
On his son's first day at school, he personally took the child to school to report.
After sending the child to the classroom, he said, "Today, you have realized your way to school. From tomorrow on, mom and dad won't pick you up again. First, there is no time at the moment, and second, it is unnecessary. "
His children go to school three blocks every day and go home by themselves after school at night.
When children come home and see the door locked, they will not be as scared as other children and cry for their parents. Because dad said that you can find your own way to go anywhere nearby.
Bill Gates kept his promise. Even if he passed by his children's school gate on the road, even if it was windy and rainy, he insisted that his children go to school and go home by themselves.
Once, it rained heavily after school, and his children ran barefoot to the roadside shop, and then carefully walked along the shelter in front of the door.
The child's mother was sitting in the car and was distressed to see the child soaked through.
However, Bill Gates said: "To cultivate children's independence, it is not enough to let children have independent consciousness and attitude. Children must be allowed to experience and remove obstacles themselves. Only in this way can children learn the corresponding knowledge and skills and solve problems by themselves in various effective ways. "
Bill Gates believes that the key to making children become excellent people is to cultivate their character, not their knowledge. The most important thing to cultivate their character is to cultivate their independence and viability.
The best education is to let children have strong viability and live into a unique self.

Good education is self-breakthrough.
A levee of a thousand miles, broken by an ant colony, can make or break a person overnight, but this is the result of Qian Qian's gradual accumulation and subtle influence.
How to face children's education? How to realize seamless education? How to grasp the growth rhythm and do really effective education?
Undoubtedly, this requires both family education and school education.
At the level of family education, it is the top priority. Of all the industries in the world, the occupation of parents is the most difficult.
Family is a very important educational place, and parents are very important educational resources.
Parents are children's friends, teachers and guides, and family relationships often affect children's life.
Those who see farther are because they have huge parents.
Parents are undoubtedly the best teachers for their children, and their three views, accomplishments, words and deeds will be silently conveyed to their children.
On August 4th, 20 17, Le Jia, a famous host, took her 4-year-old daughter, Linger, and went hiking in the desert of Gaotai County, Zhangye, Gansu Province, covering 76 kilometers in 4 days, with an average of nearly 20 kilometers per day. The youngest is Linger, four and a half years old.
Walking from 8 am to 7 pm every day is nearly 1 1 hour.
The child walked slowly, with many rashes on his thighs and blisters on his feet. He couldn't sleep well in the tent, and there were countless mosquitoes ... Faced with these difficulties, Le Jia and his father gritted their teeth together until the end.
After a few days' arduous journey, Le Jia finally walked the whole journey with her daughter. At the peak of the last day, Le Jia cried. Le Jia is proud of her daughter and is proud of being a father.
Le Jia's success is obvious to all. He has high expectations for his children. His tempering of children enabled them to achieve seemingly impossible goals.
Under the condition of ensuring children's health and safety, exercising children's will is also cultivating a good moral character, not being discouraged when things happen, not giving up, and having a strong heart, which is also the premise of children's future success.
The pattern, vision and mind, wisdom and personality of adults are, to some extent, the future of children.

A good education is waiting for flowers to bloom.
A good education must be a kind of infiltration, and all chemicals that are eager for quick success and quick maturity should be abandoned.
A good education is a matter of course, a feast of waiting, taking your time and waiting for flowers to bloom.
A good education is to accompany children behind their backs, talk on an equal footing and respect each other.
A good education is trying to encourage children to move forward by themselves. Although it stumbles, it will eventually fly.
And we just need to wait and embrace their return in a suitable place.
