Now many parents have a misunderstanding about their children's education investment. Many parents believe that the investment in children's education is to enroll their children in various cram schools, learn various specialties, and let their children keep walking in various interest classes. However, few parents will buy books for their children, study with them and participate in extracurricular activities.
Many parents will buy high-quality and expensive clothes and choose all kinds of toys for their children from the moment they are born, so as to develop their intelligence. However, few parents are willing to spend money on books for their children. I have met many parents, and there is no place to put all kinds of toys in their homes, and they are all branded. It is said that the quality is very good, does not contain formaldehyde, and is harmless to children. All the clothes and toys are carefully selected.
But whenever I recommend books to my children and parents, they are not interested. Even advised me that I want my child to grow up happily when he is young, so it is unhappy to let him study at such a young age. Actually, I don't think so. You are not a child. Do you know that children are unhappy in reading? From my experience in raising children in the past two years, children are very interested in books if they don't watch TV.
If you have enough books at home, they will find their own books and let you read them to him. Or please teach him what he is interested in in the book. Children are interested in colorful patterns, various animals, various means of transportation and various flowers and plants in the book since childhood. And children's interest in reading is no worse than watching TV and playing with toys.
What is education? Sending children to school and receiving teachers' education is not simple, but from the moment the children are born, they must be accompanied by their parents. Parents' education for their children is also their second education. Indeed, buying a house and a car is also a good investment. In the future, the appreciation of the house will leave a considerable wealth for the children.
However, there is a popular saying on the Internet recently, "Money is stronger than what I want to do. What's the use of money being inferior to mine?" Of course, money is also useful, but I think lifelong knowledge is the best investment for children.
Parents only get money from their investment in houses and cars, and their investment in children's education gets their children's lifelong knowledge. Do you think it is better to invest in children's education or spend money on buying a car and a house?
Similarly, when children reach school age, many parents will try their best to spend huge sums of money to buy school districts for their children, so as to prepare for their children to enter better middle schools in the future. They will think that this is an investment in children's education, and the rest is nonsense. In my opinion, the best teachers for children are parents, and the best school district comes from family education.
So I think parents should invest money in their children's quality education, not material conditions.
