"It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish", which comes from Laozi, an ancient Taoist book in China. It is better to teach people the existing knowledge than to teach people the way to learn knowledge. The reason is actually very simple. Fish is the purpose, and fishing is the means. A fish can solve temporary hunger, but it can't solve long-term hunger. If you want to have fish to eat forever, you must learn how to fish.
In education and teaching, fish is knowledge, and fishing is the way to learn knowledge. Knowledge is the ocean. Only when you know the learning methods and master the learning skills can you swim in the ocean.
However, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish. "Desire" refers to the motivation, interest and internal drive of learning. If a person can learn methods but doesn't want to learn, he is not interested in learning and doesn't want to jump into the ocean of knowledge. Even if you master all kinds of learning methods, it is useless. But a person who has great interest in learning will try his best to acquire knowledge even if he doesn't know how to study.

Nowadays, most students are pampered, and many students don't know why they want to study. Parents and teachers always force them to study and do their homework.
I have seen such a chat record between teachers and students. The content is as follows:
Coincidentally, I once told a boy in my class seriously that you should study hard and find a good job in the future. Unexpectedly, the boy said, teacher, my mother said that even if I don't work in my life, their savings are enough to make me worry about food and clothing.
It seems that "work hard and find a good job in the future" can no longer be the motivation of students. Without learning motivation, there would be no enterprise. Just muddling along every day, being a monk and ringing the bell every day.
This is the case with sweets in our class. She always seems absent-minded in class and her exam results are not satisfactory. For this reason, my parents repeatedly asked me to leave my children to write exercises. But the child was unhappy and found various reasons to sneak away. The teacher asked her to write another question, and she would bargain with the teacher.
This is a question of learning attitude. If the child doesn't want to learn, it won't help even if the teacher keeps her for tutoring every day. What's the use of teaching children if they don't want it?
In class, while I was talking about the key and difficult points, Li Ling, a student, was still absorbed in playing with a pen, and didn't know what I was talking about.
I reminded him by name, "Li Ling doesn't want to play with pens in class, but also wants to take a key junior high school exam!"
"Teacher, it's not that I want to take the key junior high school exam, but that my mother wants me to take the exam!"
These are students who want me to learn, not students who want me to learn. They have no desire to learn, and learning is always passive. Therefore, it is very important to stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm in learning. Interest is the best teacher.

Read such a story:
In the story, the father feels beautiful and rich by taking his daughter to a luxury hotel, and arouses his daughter's pursuit of dreams through his own experience, encouraging her to work hard and make continuous progress.

Yu Yi, a famous special-grade teacher, said: "If a teacher has the ability to stimulate students' interest in learning, he is half successful. "
I think both parents are the same. If parents can cultivate their children's interest in learning, arouse their enthusiasm for learning, change "I want to learn" into "I want to learn", change passivity into initiative, and improve students' desire and ability to explore knowledge actively, the learning effect will certainly get twice the result with half the effort.
When children pursue their studies, they have internal motivation, just like being enlightened. They don't have to follow their parents all the time to ask them to study, but they will actively realize their dreams. Therefore, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, and it is better to teach people to fish.

How can we cultivate children's desire to learn? Parents may wish to try the following methods:
First of all, you can tell more inspirational stories, explain the importance of learning thoroughly, and guide children to learn actively.
When I was a child, my father often told me that my uncle studied hard since childhood and his grades were always among the best in the city. He was admitted to an ideal university. Now he bought a house in the most prosperous place in Guangzhou, which not only changed the fate of his parents being farmers, but also was named one of the top ten outstanding young people in Guangzhou in a certain year. More importantly, because of his excellent grades in school, my uncle is very famous in the village, and his classmates and friends are as good as him, mostly at the director level.
Reading can change a person's fate and class level. Reading is not only the capital to make a living, but also allows us to choose meaningful jobs.
When children truly understand the significance of reading and the importance of learning, they will certainly make progress and study hard.
Secondly, you can take your children to feel beautiful and rich, like the father in the above article, and let them consciously set up their dreams.
You can take your children to travel, feel different life and culture, and increase your knowledge.
You can take your children to science museums and museums, explore the principles of science and technology with your children, stimulate their curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and cultivate their interest in learning.
Once a child has a dream, he has a direction to learn. Dreams are the driving force of children's learning and progress, and dreams are the source of creation. Children are more motivated to learn because they have dreams.
Finally, encourage and appreciate children and build their confidence.
According to the principle of educational psychology, interest comes from the joy of success. Once the practice is successful and praised, he will have a strong interest in it and have confidence in learning it well, and he will succeed step by step.
Therefore, parents should be good at discovering children's bright spots and praising them in time, so that children can feel the joy of success, build confidence and cultivate interest.
