However, we often see many educators, parents and students complain, "Why do children want to study hard the more I advise them to?"
The fundamental reason is that the essence of education is not simply to repeatedly emphasize the importance of success, but to make students understand the real purpose of knowledge learning: that is, to create and discover their own understanding, curiosity and thirst for knowledge, not just to get high marks or praise from others.
In fact, emphasizing success sometimes makes children feel great pressure, precisely because they feel that parents and educators attach too much importance to "results."
When children feel that their initial interests and curiosity are suppressed and ignored, they will completely lose their enthusiasm for learning.
Therefore, as educators and parents, we must understand the essence of education, not only by "selling" habits and success, but also by guiding students to discover truth and self-knowledge.
Contrary to educators and parents, we believe that students' creativity and enthusiasm are the real essence of education.
In order to achieve this goal, we need to allow students to try and fail in education and training, encourage innovation and enthusiasm for knowledge, and reduce children's excessive score pressure. This will make children feel that they can gain pride, self-esteem and self-confidence.
The advantage of this kind of education is that it can help students discover their own talents and talents, and on the basis of these talents and talents, find their true enthusiasm for the subject/field they love.
And this is precisely to explore their real talent for mathematics, literature and artistic creativity.
Therefore, we can't simply instill the truth that "hard work can pay off" in children, but let children discover knowledge and the real pleasure of life in their attempts, and improve their interest and efforts in learning.
