Suhomlinski believes that everyone has certain excellent qualities. Teachers should be good at excavating these qualities. He said: "One of the most important tasks of education is not to ignite the gunpowder in any soul, but to give full play to all talents and talents."
Teachers should trust students, first of all, let students believe in themselves. In order to build children's self-confidence and self-esteem, teachers should pay special attention to their words and deeds, don't say anything that harms students' self-esteem, and take students' evaluation seriously.
Teachers love children on the basis of trust and understanding. Teachers should understand children's needs, children's ideas, and let children know themselves.
The educational goal designed by Suhomlinski is to cultivate people's harmonious and all-round development. Emphasize the need to cultivate students' spiritual life. People's world outlook, values and other core concepts are the most commander-in-chief among all kinds of qualities.

First, let every student have a special favorite subject and encourage him to surpass the class; The second is to let every student have the same fascinating extracurricular production activities; Third, let every student have his favorite book.
Cultivate children's interest in learning. Without interest, there is no learning, and learning begins with interest. Education should cultivate students' interest in learning from an early age.
