Not only for children, in fact, each of us has material needs and spiritual needs, both of which are equally important and indispensable.
Parents are heartbroken before their children reach adulthood and grow up. They should not only pay attention to children's material supply, but also ensure their spiritual satisfaction. How to balance the relationship between the two needs more tests of parents' wisdom.
When children grow up, they will encounter countless problems, big and small. Most of these problems need parents to solve.
In order to encourage children's independence and improve their ability to solve problems, parents sometimes make plans and use cash as incentives.
Parents seem to want to test what the ancients said: "There must be a brave man under the four rewards." But it is a one-off behavior, too accidental and not universal.
In the family, using cash incentives for children, even if they are new, children will be very motivated.
But children's learning is a long-term project, and there are many uncertain factors. When children don't understand, cash rewards will lose their appeal, and children would rather have no money than do homework. For parents, I'm afraid there is nothing they can do.
For children's education, what we should actually do is to mobilize children's subjective initiative in learning. The result of changing from "asking me to learn" to "I want to learn" will inevitably be very different.
For children, they have nothing to worry about, and there is nothing to worry about materially. But they also need to be affirmed by others in spirit. Sometimes, a compliment and an affirmation given in front of everyone will greatly satisfy children's spirit and become the motivation for children to learn in a certain period of time.
Parents must know whether their own practices are beneficial to their children. Make it clear that children also have multiple needs, so that parents will not be limited to one way.
Take a multi-pronged approach to protect children's learning in many ways. I believe children's education can get twice the result with half the effort.
