How to educate children to do things persistently
"As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle." On the road to success, perseverance is an indispensable and important factor. At work, I often hear parents say that children don't want to go to extra-long classes for a few days. Indeed, children's enthusiasm for certain things usually cannot be maintained for a relatively stable period of time. At first, they will do what they want with enthusiasm, but soon, they will lose confidence and turn their attention to other aspects. In less than half a year, my colleague's children changed two extra-long classes. First I studied dance, then painting, and now I want to learn guzheng, but neither of them can hold on. How can it last long? It seems important to cultivate children's perseverance from an early age. So, how to cultivate it?

First, use fairy tales to let children know that things need perseverance to succeed.

Simple preaching is hard for children to understand and don't like to hear. According to the characteristics of children's love of stories, we can put the requirements and some profound truths for children into stories to tell them, let them experience the way of doing things in stories, and give them heuristic education, which will be easy for children to accept. "Flower Snail Climbs the High Wall" is simple in story, close to children's life and easy to be accepted by children. The story is about a flower snail living under the wall. Because of its yearning for a better life, it began a difficult journey. Faced with many difficulties and blows, the flower snail did not give up. On the contrary, it finally succeeded with tenacious perseverance and perseverance. In the story, the sinister external environment and the kindness of small ants are used as foreshadowing, which sets off the strong, brave and persistent spirit of the snail. Through the study and understanding of this story, let the children understand that they should not give up easily, and they must persevere to succeed. In life, when children encounter difficulties and don't want to persist, remind them to compare themselves with the flower snail to see if they can persist bravely like the flower snail and work hard for a better ideal. Usually young children will build up their confidence again and stick to it.

It is also a good choice to tell the story "Iron pestle grinds into a needle", mainly because Li Bai was not easy to learn when he was a child. One day, he came to the river and saw an old woman grinding something on a slate in the distance. He came closer and saw that he was grinding an iron bar. Li Bai came forward to ask the reason. The old woman grinds embroidery needles for her daughter. It takes more than a day or two to sharpen the needle with a pestle. It takes perseverance and perseverance, from which Li Bai realized the truth. From then on, he studied hard and became a generation of writers. As long as there is this spirit, what can't be done?
