First, the daily neutrality rule. When I was a child, every time I ate, my parents would say that chopsticks should not be turned around in the plate when eating, and don't open your mouth when you can't reach your mouth, let alone knock on the bowl and plate with chopsticks. When pouring water for others, don't point the spout at others; When you meet your elders, you should take the initiative to say hello ... Now that I think about it, although there are many complicated rules, it has laid a "courtesy" foundation for you to get along with others in the future.
Second, cultivate morality at work. Because I was catching up with the household quota when I was young, in order to make my family live a better life, my parents often went out early and came back late. Do grandparents help take care of the family? My parents arranged for my brother and I to help boil water, rinse pots, wash dishes, sweep the floor and feed chickens and pigs. Maybe they had to do it at that time, but it made us form the habit of thrift. "Laziness is the root of all evil", countless facts have proved that lazy people rarely go astray.
Third, make life meaningful. I remember once steaming steamed buns at home, and my brother and I made a fire for my mother. In order to make the fire more prosperous, we kept putting corncobs in the stove, neatly stacked. As a result, the smoke in the kitchen is getting heavier and heavier. After my mother found out, she set aside some firewood from the stove, but the fire grew stronger and stronger. Then my mother said something I will never forget: "Be honest and burn the fire", that is, be honest and burn the fire overhead.
Fourth, talk about the ideal in metaphor. Once my parents asked me what my brother and I wanted to be when we grew up. When I said I wanted to be a soldier, they encouraged me to say, "A good man should aim everywhere." . You see those chickens and eagles are birds, but chickens will only run in the yard when they grow up, while eagles can fly in the sky and see farther when they grow up. The metaphor of image leads me to yearn for my own sky. When I grew up, I became a soldier, was admitted, found a job and became an "eagle" in the eyes of my parents.
Parents do not need profound theories or deliberate skills to educate their children. They just need to irrigate in their daily lives and moisten things silently.
