I walked into Yinzhou Bookstore some time ago and wanted to buy some reference books. Walking into the educational books section, I saw this dazzling book at a glance. It is eye-catching, because its big red cover is particularly prominent in many books; Second, because its title shows that it is a book concerned with children's happiness. Intuition made me feel the value of this educational book for the first time.

The shock that this book brought me was unexpected. For two weeks in a row, I have been holding this book and reading it several times. I was shocked by the vivid cases in the book, which reminded me of Lu Xun's Save the Children! If Mr. Lu Xun has a spirit under the ground, he will show a knowing smile when he sees this book, although he is still heavy after laughing. This book dissects the education system in China, analyzes the failed family education, and analyzes the popular parenting tactics in Liu Yiting and other countries. At the same time, a large number of vivid examples of parenting and teaching illustrate the author's educational practice and exploration as a mother and art teacher for 22 years. Deeply influenced by Montessori's educational theory and Piaget's cognitive theory, the author puts forward philosophical and enlightening educational views on the basis of his rich experience and feelings in art education, and gradually forms a complete scientific and artistic education system.

First of all, similar to Montessori's educational view, the author believes that understanding children is the basis of educating children. "Children are feet, education methods are shoes, and educators are shoemakers. Only when the shoemaker fully understands the size and shape of the foot, the needs and feelings of the foot, can he make a shoe that fits the foot; Similarly, educators can only design educational methods suitable for children on the premise of studying children and understanding their psychological process, spiritual world and growth mechanism. "

Secondly, the author puts forward his own views on quality education. "The first element of quality education is the education of love. Educators should be angels, not God! Love children with the wisdom of educators, not ignorance. At the same time, children are required to learn to love, love their parents, love their teachers, love their classmates, love everyone and love all beautiful things. This is the interaction of love and the ultimate goal of education. "

"We should cultivate children's ability to find happiness in unfortunate times." I benefited a lot from reading this book. I recommend you to read it.
