How to cultivate children's perseverance?
Recently, a parent asked me that his child is 4 years old and is learning piano. At first, it was requested by the children. I was very interested when I first started learning. Slowly, children are unwilling to learn. She wanted to give up, but her husband said not to give up. It's so easy to give up when you are young, but you can't be a big deal when you grow up. Through this incident, I thought about how to cultivate children's perseverance. As parents, it is easy for us to enter a misunderstanding of thinking, always thinking about what children should do and ignoring what children want to do. Learning Olympic Mathematics, learning musical instruments, learning English, and learning painting are almost all parents making choices for their children, and they have never really asked their children what they want to learn. Some parents may say that because the child is too young to understand, learning these will help her in the future.

Parents should know that the basis of perseverance quality training is enthusiasm for this matter. It doesn't matter how fast the child runs at first. The important thing is that after she fell, she was able to get up and continue running. So, don't rush to make up for this and that, learn this and that, and cultivate perseverance first. The first step is to encourage children to do more interesting and difficult things and let them choose something that she is interested in but a little challenging.

Persistence is not forcing yourself to do something you don't like, but not giving up when you are doing something you like. Seeing this, there must be a mother who will ask, what should I do if my child's interest has been changing? This is really common and normal. This is the second step to cultivate perseverance. Before the child gives up, we need to make sure that she has spent time and effort to really know why she gave up, not because she can't learn and is criticized by the teacher.

It is human nature to retreat when encountering difficulties, especially for children, but the key to cultivating perseverance is that even if you really give up because your interests change, it will take some time, especially when you feel the worst. Therefore, I suggest parents stick to it for a while.

What really cultivates perseverance is to listen to children's interests and stimulate their enthusiasm for doing something; It is to respect the choice that children give up, but it will encourage children to "from beginning to end"; It is to help children do it themselves with our support, so that children can experience the sense of accomplishment of "sticking to it for a while and getting better and better".

Perseverance, perseverance and perseverance. Perseverance is a great quality, which is needed in study, work and life. Personally, I understand that to cultivate perseverance, students must first establish their dreams. In order to realize their dreams, students should know how to persist and try their best to overcome all difficulties. In this process, teachers should not only set an example, but also teach by example.

In view of this understanding, I cultivate students' perseverance in teaching:

1, let students set up their dreams.

I once showed my first-year students a movie about dreams, Travels around the Flying House. Carl and Ellie wanted to be explorers when they were young, and settled down in Paradise Falls. So after Ellie's death, Carl floated all the way to his dream place with pictures of his house and Ellie in a hot air balloon ... I took this opportunity to make the students think about what their dreams were. As a dream collector, I collect all students' dreams and often encourage students to study hard for their dreams.

2. Let students learn to persist.

I always tell my students a story: A student asked Socrates, a great philosopher, how to learn his profound knowledge. Socrates did not answer directly, but said, "Today we only learn the simplest and easiest things. Everyone throws their arms as far back as possible and then throws them as far forward as possible. " Socrates demonstrated it again and said, "Starting today, do it 300 times a day. Can everyone do it? " The students all laughed. What can't be done with such a simple thing? After a month, Socrates asked the students, "Which students insist?" 90% of the students raised their hands proudly. A year later, Socrates asked everyone again: "Please tell me, who else insisted on the simplest cutting action?" At this time, only one person raised his hand. This student was Plato and later became another great philosopher in ancient Greece.

For the students in Grade 12 and Grade 12, some abstruse concepts may not be understood, but through classic stories, they can feel and understand, and then know what they should do in their studies.

3. Let students learn to work hard to overcome difficulties.

Everything is not smooth sailing, you have to face difficulties; Whether you flinch or resolutely face difficulties, overcoming difficulties and moving on determines whether you can succeed. So in normal teaching, I always encourage students to overcome difficulties. I will encourage them to make a little progress and let them know that you can do it as long as you work hard.

4. Let students see a persistent teacher.

I once read a sentence in Reader, No.2065438 16: The key to education is to forget education, cultivate one's morality first, and then talk about something else. Some netizens said that no matter how nice you say it, in the end, children are imitating your behavior. So every time I teach a group of students, I will carefully prepare a gift for them: for a class of students, I wrote a list of advantages for everyone, totaling more than 230 copies; A student wrote an article for each student, totaling more than 230 ... I will tell the students that I keep a diary every day, I insist on reading every day, I insist on running every day, and I also run a marathon ... These are all examples for students with perseverance, and this example is their teacher. I think this example is more important than words and deeds!

In short, be a persistent teacher first, and then it is possible to cultivate a group of persistent students!
