The key to cultivating children's good habit of diligence lies not in the various ways and means used by educators, but in the fact that its essence lies in two points. First, educators should set an example and demonstrate well. The second is to guide children to establish lofty aspirations.

Madame Curie said: "Laziness and stupidity are together, diligence and success are together, frustration and failure are together, and perseverance and tact are together."

Einstein said: "Between genius and diligence, I chose diligence without hesitation. She is the midwife of almost all achievements in the world. "

There is no doubt that diligence is an indispensable condition for success, and it is also an excellent quality that every parent wants their children to have. However, it is not easy to cultivate children to develop good habits of diligence! Many times, we have exhausted 18 kinds of martial arts, but we still have little effect. What's the problem? At this time, we might as well find the reason from ourselves.

Children of different ages have different characteristics. Preschool and lower grade children are characterized by strong imitation ability and weak discrimination ability. During this period, as educators, our exemplary role, that is, setting an example, is the first priority, which directly determines whether our initial education is successful! With the growth of age, children enter adolescence, their ability to distinguish gradually increases, their ability to imitate declines, and their children become "individual". At this time, words and expressions become more important! According to this feature, we come to a conclusion that whether children can form a good habit of diligence in the early stage of education depends on whether parents can set a good example for their children!

Let's look at two real examples. One is a little girl who hasn't gone to school yet. One day, the little girl and her father went to a friend's house. After entering the door, the little girl sat on the sofa, took off her socks and threw them aside. Her legs crossed and she put her feet directly on the coffee table. This series of movements is very natural and skillful. The little girl's father froze and asked her where she learned it. It turns out that this "classic" action is the first thing her father does when he comes home from work every day! It took the little girl's father a whole year to get rid of this problem. Another real example is my own personal experience. I am a girl, too, but this girl was already in middle school at that time. At a party, the adults were busy all morning and prepared a big table of rich dishes. After dinner, too many young students and cooks cleaned up the dishes, but only the girl didn't participate, but lay on the bed. Her mother felt humiliated and complained helplessly, saying that the child was too old to be sensible, every day. I don't know where he learned this question. It's no use talking about her. ("Say", spoken in Beijing, means to educate and preach. The wise man pointed to the father of the girl lying in another bed and said, Look at her father and you will know who she learned from.

In the above example, the little girl in front got rid of her own problem because her parents realized the seriousness of the problem and urged her children to get rid of it. Although it took a whole year, the result is finally gratifying! However, the second girl was not so lucky. Because her parents didn't realize the seriousness of the problem in time, when they realized it, the girl had grown up and it was difficult to change. Coupled with her parents' lack of perseverance and perseverance to set an example, it can't help her change. Now she has formed this habit and got married. Now, this girl who has become a woman still wipes her mouth after eating. Besides eating and sleeping, she plays games with her husband every day. This habit will undoubtedly accompany her all her life and will definitely affect their future children!

In fact, such examples are very common in life. Because parents are adults, habits have long been formed and are often difficult to change. As a child who is still in the imitation stage, he will naturally copy his parents' habits, which will make his parents' role models play a decisive role in the development of children's habits! So, why is it difficult for children to develop the excellent quality of diligence? Many times, the problem lies with parents. A parent who loves watching TV and never studies can hardly cultivate a child who loves reading and learning. On the contrary, a poor but hardworking family can always produce excellent children.

So what role should teachers play in the early stage of education? What kind of role does it play?

As educators, parents and teachers have different educational emphases. Family education focuses on life, while school education focuses on learning. In other words, parents should be responsible for educating their children to develop good living habits, and teachers should be responsible for educating their children to develop good study habits! Good living habits are the premise of good study habits, and they interact, influence and promote each other. Because children often develop most of their living habits before entering school, these living habits, whether good or bad, will affect or continue to his study habits. Therefore, for the first-year students who have just entered the school, teachers should not only set an example in their studies, but also closely contact and cooperate with their parents to help students get rid of the existing bad living habits and develop good living habits, thus promoting the development of students' good study habits.

It should be noted that in early education, people (animals) in fairy tales cannot be chosen as role models, because these people (animals) do not exist in real life and are fictional, and their roles can only temporarily arouse children's interest. With the growth of students' age, such an example is not only less and less convincing, but also may bring serious consequences! They will lead students to indulge in the illusory world of online games and cannot extricate themselves.

There is no superman in this world, but there are countless people in our human history who have both ability and political integrity and have made great contributions to society. From Sima Guang and Fan Zhongyan to Zeng Guofan and Qian Xuesen, they are not only the most authentic and convincing role models for students, but more importantly, their stories can help students set up lofty aspirations. When a person has an ambition and a goal, there will be one.
