1920, an American boy of1/years old accidentally kicked his neighbor's glass while playing football, and people claimed 12.50 dollars. After the boy made a big mistake, his father held him responsible for his mistake. He said awkwardly, "I have no money to compensate others." Father said, "I'll lend you this 12.50 yuan first and pay me back one year later." Since then, the boy has gone out to work hard every weekend and holiday. After half a year's hard work, he finally earned enough 12.50 dollars and returned it to his father. This boy is Reagan who later became the president of the United States. When he recalled this incident, he said, "Taking responsibility through my own labor made me understand what responsibility is."
Parents should teach their children to be responsible for their actions from an early age. As long as it is the result of their independent behavior, we should encourage them to dare to do it. Parents should not bear everything for their children, which will dilute their sense of responsibility and is not conducive to their growth.
Stimulate children's self-motivation.
When Edison was young, he was regarded as the most "stupid" student by the head teacher. But his mother thought that the teacher called the students "stupid" in person, which just showed the teacher's own incompetence. Edison's mother took Edison home, educated him according to the child's psychological characteristics, and tried every means to encourage him to do more experiments. Edison later became a world-famous great inventor and scientist, which was inseparable from his mother's education and her proper application of expectation effect.
Parents' expectations have a great influence on their children's growth. Psychological investigation shows that the higher the parents' expectation level, the higher the children's IQ and academic performance. or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium
Grasp the sensitive area of children's success
/kloc-When Maxwell, a famous mathematician and physicist in the 9th century, was very young, his father once asked him to draw a still life sketch, which was a vase filled with autumn roses. Maxwell finished painting and handed in the paper. My father smiled while reading it, because the paper was full of geometric figures: the vase was trapezoidal, the chrysanthemums became large and small circles, and there were some strange triangles, which probably represented leaves. Careful father immediately discovered that little Maxwell was particularly sensitive to mathematics. So his father began to teach him geometry, and later taught him algebra. Sure enough, Maxwell soon showed amazing mathematical talent.
All children with normal development, mostly at the age of five or six, began to show very special sensitivity and strong curiosity in a certain aspect. If parents can quickly and timely capture their children's "sensitive areas" and guide them, it will open the way for their children to become talents.
Cultivate children's independent living ability and labor training
In Germany, children aged 6~ 10 help their parents wash dishes, sweep the floor and buy things; 10~ 14-year-old children should take part in the work of repairing shoes and mowing lawns. In the United States, more than 1 children basically eat by themselves. Parents "tie" their children to chairs, put food on small tables and let them eat with small knives and forks. It's almost impossible to see parents chasing their children with rice bowls. In the educational laws and regulations of the United States, Japan and Britain, there are also special provisions that stipulate children's working hours. Neither family nor school can deprive children of this right.
Nowadays, parents provide their children with excellent living and learning conditions, but also bring an educational disadvantage that can not be ignored: overprotection. Moreover, educating children to receive necessary labor training from childhood is an important lesson to cultivate children's labor concept, improve their self-care ability, work hard and form a good attitude and healthy personality.
Educate children in practice
In Sweden, the first words learned by small class students over 2 years old, besides "Hello, thank you", are the names of plants and wild fruits in the forest. In summer, two days a week, teachers will take their babies to the forest to play or do small experiments. For example, dig a few holes in the ground and bury plastic bags, paper, glass, banana peels, etc. Dig them out after a few weeks to see what has changed, so as to explain to the children what rubbish the land can and cannot absorb. For example, the earth will not absorb glass, and it will also hurt the feet of people and animals, and the reflection and focusing of sun light will also cause fires. Sweden's environmental construction is so good that it is inseparable from its own education since childhood.
