How important is the emotional education of children?
In the eyes of most parents, children's grades are very important, because being admitted to an ideal university can provide a relatively high starting point for their development; Children's ability is also very important, because from the day when children step into society, no one cares about the level of scores. Children should rely on their own ability to stand on the society and get social recognition. However, we don't have time to pay more attention to children's emotional education-whether a child is an emotional person. Even think that emotion is dispensable for children; What's more, I think children's indifference to people and society can better adapt to this highly competitive society. It cannot be said that this indifferent attitude towards children's emotional education is the sorrow of children's growth.

I remember a futurist once said that artificial intelligence in the future can learn almost all human intelligence. Even by observing human behavior, we can produce a cognitive model that matches it. This means that artificial intelligence has learning ability. In other words, whether people can learn is no longer a sign of distinction, because people are different from artificial intelligence. So, what are the indicators that distinguish human beings from artificial intelligence? That's human emotion. Human emotions are exactly what artificial intelligence can't have.

We are born as human beings. It is because we love ourselves that we love our parents, society and even everything in nature, and we can love life and create beauty. Without these wonderful emotional experiences, even if children are well-educated and extremely rich, what can they do? Just a machine that can make money.

So, how can we cultivate children's rich emotions? Then we should pay attention to guiding children to learn to love themselves, discover and feel the beauty of life, and have a grateful heart.

How to love yourself? The premise of loving yourself is self-esteem. Self-esteem means that you think you are valuable, realize that you are a unique existence in this world, and let the children know that I have unique value without any proof. This is recognition of self-worth. With such self-acceptance and recognition, you will have the motivation to be kind to yourself. Because children realize that they are so valuable, they will naturally love themselves. Love yourself, children are willing to pay attention to hygiene, exercise, protect their eyes, constantly improve their academic performance and constantly correct their shortcomings.

Because children learn to love themselves, they can constantly improve themselves. In this way, children will have more energy to give back their parents' love, that is, learn to love their parents, and then love their classmates and society.

How to cultivate children's good feelings of loving life? When children learn to love themselves and society, they can feel the love of their parents, teachers and classmates. When the mother cooks a bowl of porridge, the child will feel the mother's love; A pot of flowers at home will let children discover the beauty of life; The clean floor at home will make children feel cherished; A classmate's help will make you feel the friendship of your classmates. And these beautiful feelings are born on the basis of self-love. What parents need to do is to love their children and awaken their self-esteem.

Gratitude is the most beautiful emotion. It is said that a psychology professor at Harvard University once did an experiment and found that among many beautiful emotions, the most powerful emotion is gratitude, and the energy of gratitude even exceeds the energy of love. Grateful people generally have a higher happiness index.

So, how can we cultivate children's gratitude? From my experience, let's start with the example of parents. Parents should be grateful to their relatives and friends for their help. Especially in the natural life of the family, we should always share this grateful thing, and parents' grateful attitude will be subtly passed on to their children. Then guide the children to learn to be grateful for their parents' efforts. When eating, children will sincerely say: Mom, today's food is really delicious! Even if the food is not delicious, children can feel the labor paid by their mothers and show respect and gratitude for their work. From near to far, from here to there, children's gratitude will sprout.

With grateful children, it will be easier to get along with friends and classmates, children will have a better chance to get help and success, and they are more likely to make more contributions to society.

May our children become children who love themselves, love life and know how to be grateful.
