A little wordy. This book is one of the five books recommended by Mr. Luo, the head teacher. I learned the wisdom of Jewish children from two books written by Sarah's mother, which are particularly cruel and particularly loving. I am still full of expectations for this book.
I arrived at the office early, and before I started to work, I couldn't help reading a book for half an hour and reading the preface of the book. In less than five minutes, I had a different feeling, a new harvest, or a deeper understanding of Jewish children. Can't wait to record it.
First, I appreciate the Jewish respect for books and knowledge.
In every Jewish home, when the child is just sensible, the mother will open the Bible, sprinkle a drop of honey on it, and then let the child kiss the honey in the Bible. Then, the mother will tell her children that books are sweet. I have heard this story many times. I regard it as an incredible story, but today it makes me realize its connotation. The Bible is a classic of Judaism, guiding children to get in touch with national beliefs and beliefs and their desire for books when they are just sensible. What do we guide when children are sensible? When the child is one year old, we will arrange a bunch of things for him to grasp for a week to see what he is interested in, so as to find out the signs of his future career. It can be seen that any interest and occupation should be based on knowledge accumulation and learning. Jewish parents knew from the beginning what was the main line of raising their children. This stems from the fact that Jews attach great importance to family education and parenting education, which is the best fine tradition of the Jewish nation.
At present, in our country, parents still take school education as the main force and send their children to prestigious schools and reputable training institutions as the goal. They think that good teachers and schools are the starting line for children's growth. As everyone knows, the real starting line for children is family, not family education!
In addition to guiding children to read, Jews also show respect for books and knowledge in action. The bookshelf in their home must be placed at the bedside, which has been handed down from generation to generation. If anyone puts a bookshelf at the end of the bed, it will be regarded as disrespectful to books and knowledge and despised by everyone. Jews never burn books, even books that attack Jews. I used to laugh at what they did, but today I suddenly realized. Think of children's books I have read before, especially some bad books, and throw them directly into the trash can or sell them by the catty. After my daughter went to junior high school, she also donated some books that she didn't read in primary school, and some of them were disposed of at will. I also remember that when my daughter had no place to put books, she put them on the stool, on the bed and even on the floor. At first, I felt inappropriate, but gradually I didn't feel anything. This is the attitude towards books and knowledge. We treat books that spread knowledge to us so casually, do we regard the knowledge in the books as treasures?
On the other hand, it also shows that our children don't cherish what he can easily get under the condition of rich materials. When I was young, I had nothing to read. Books in the first grade of primary school are borrowed old books with missing pages, not to mention extracurricular books. I protect all the new books issued by the school very well, and I will carefully flatten them again and again when I fold the corners. Why is my child not like me? On the one hand, it is because of the environment, and at the same time, it is also my blind "psychological compensation". Like most parents in China, I suffered and was hungry when I was a child, and I don't want to repeat it in my children. I want to give them something better through my own efforts. As a result, children do not know how to cherish and ignore the guidance of their interest in learning.
Second, Jews pay more attention to cultivating children's wisdom.
The word "wisdom" has often appeared in my mind in the past year.
Baidu said that wisdom in a narrow sense is based on the advanced comprehensive ability of biological nerve organs (material basis), and wisdom in a broad sense is based on the advanced creative thinking ability of life physiology and psychological organs. Simply put, wisdom is a comprehensive ability and creative ability. Wisdom is different from cleverness. Wisdom expresses the comprehensive ultimate function of intellectual organs, intelligence is a part of life skills, and wisdom is the creative use of intelligence.
However, what I care about is how to be a "wise" parent. Because I feel that I lack wisdom, especially in educating children, I pay special attention to how wise parents educate their children. I think smart parents know how to guide their children correctly when they are confused and what kind of children they want to cultivate.
To tell the truth, I didn't understand the essence of Jewish children's cultivation before, and I felt that they paid more attention to the cultivation of knowledge and personality, only to find that they paid more attention to the cultivation of wisdom.
Almost all children of Jewish families have to answer this question when they were young: "If one day your house was burned down and your property was robbed, what would you take with you to run for your life?" Let's not talk about how Jewish parents guide their children to think. Think about how you will answer this question. What answers do we want our children to say? Is it a cell phone? Passbook bank card? Household registration book? Title certificate? Jewelry? Or did you prepare an important bag yourself?
For Jews, if their children answer with money and jewelry, the mother will patiently tell them, "Son, what you want to take away is not money and jewelry, but wisdom, because wisdom can't be taken away by anyone." As long as you live, wisdom will always be with you. " Therefore, such a wise idea is deeply rooted in the hearts of Jews. They think that the scholar is greater than the king and far greater than the rich.
It is said that Jews have guided children to love books and knowledge since childhood, but their teaching is not limited to knowledge, and ultimately they should be trained into wise people. You can't read for the sake of reading, but read for the sake of reading. Reading is ultimately about using the knowledge in books. They think that people who have only knowledge but no wisdom are "donkeys with many books on their backs". General learning is just imitation, without any innovation. Real learning needs the comprehensive application of knowledge, and learning should be based on thinking, which is composed of doubts and answers. Learning is the key to wisdom. The more you know, the more you have doubts, and the more you have questions. Questions are as important as answers. Some people say that the Jewish people are a nation of philosophers who try to reveal the secrets of nature and mankind. It has become the core of Jewish family education to like to think about macro and deep-seated problems and to like abstraction and logic.
Jewish parents often talk and discuss with their children because they like to think. Parents' guidance induces children to think, and also cultivates their eloquence and meticulous logical thinking ability.
The Jewish people have won 22% of the Nobel Prize in the world because they attach importance to family education and advanced educational concepts, and play an important role in the world economy, science and technology, ideology, culture, education, service and other fields. What can we learn from it? Maybe we didn't receive systematic education and training when we were young, and many of our parents still don't know how to educate their children. Advanced experience is here, you can explore it.
I hope the following reading can make me gain more.
