Many people don't understand the goal of family education, so they feel that they can't start, thinking that the goal of family education and school education is the same, that is, to do professional homework, do the right questions and get good grades. Many parents think that they are not teachers, so they can't teach well and won't teach. This idea is because they don't understand the goal of family education. Family education is much more extensive than formal school education. Family education is not to prepare children for school, but to guide them in their future lives.
2. The purpose of family education
The first lady of American President Roosevelt was very keen on education. She summed up from her own life experience that the most important thing in children's education is to let children have curiosity, interest, imagination and the spirit of exploring life.
There are no special courses in school to teach these things, but it is these qualities that make us learn things, make us full of enthusiasm, and let us constantly pursue fresh experiences and in-depth understanding of life. The famous Dewey's educational theory also believes that the purpose of family education is to explain to children everything he feels, sees, touches and experiences in his daily life.
3. The content of family education
According to many theories of children's education, we can sum up a truth, that is, the way of family education is basically that parents use their own life experience to teach their children to observe life, understand life, learn to explore life and learn to use tools to find answers.
Instilling education means telling the answers directly to children, and then memorizing them, which leads to children's loss of interest in learning, lack of self-academic ability and inability to cultivate a good way of thinking. This is also the reason behind the rapid decline of some students who have strong endorsements in primary schools when they arrive in middle school. We can't just sit still and deal with everything. Many problems need creative thinking to solve.
