1920, an eight-year-old American boy accidentally kicked his neighbor's glass while playing football, and the neighbor claimed $65,438+$02.50. After the boy who made a mistake confessed to his father, his father made him responsible for his mistake. He said awkwardly, "I have no money to pay for it." Father said, "I'll lend it to you first and pay it back to me after one year." Since then, the boy has gone out to work hard every weekend and holiday. After half a year's hard work, he finally earned enough 12.50 dollars and returned it to his father. This boy is Reagan who later became the president of the United States. When he recalled this incident, he said, "Taking responsibility through my own labor made me understand what responsibility is."

The second classic education case:

/kloc-When Maxwell, a famous mathematician and physicist in the 9th century, was very young, his father once asked him to draw a still life sketch with a vase full of autumn chrysanthemums. In Maxwell's works, vases are trapezoidal, chrysanthemums are round, and leaves are represented by some strange triangles. Careful father immediately found that little Maxwell was particularly sensitive to mathematics and began to teach him geometry and algebra to cultivate his mathematical talent. Later, he really became a famous mathematician.

The third classic education case:

When Edison was a child, he was considered the most stupid student by the class teacher. But his mother thinks that the teacher's calling students "stupid" in person just shows the teacher's own incompetence. She took Edison home, educated him according to the child's psychological characteristics and tried every means to encourage him to do more experiments. Edison later became a world-famous great inventor, which was inseparable from his mother's education and the proper use of expectation effect.
