After reading the relevant materials of Gu Ailing and Gu Yan recently, I think there are three points in Gu Yan's educational methods that are worth learning and learning from.
First, it is important for parents to be influenced by it. According to the information on the Internet, Gu Yan was born into a sports family. She liked skiing since she was a child and later became a ski instructor. When Gu Ailing was very young, Gu Yan often took her skiing. Under the subtle influence, Gu Ailing also liked skiing and got good training, and finally won the Olympic skiing champion.
Experience summary: As parents, our own hobbies have a great influence on our children. As the saying goes, parents are children's first teachers. We have a local saying: His father sells onions and garlic, and his father is a hero. That's the truth. Therefore, for the sake of children, we parents should have extensive and unique hobbies, such as reading, such as sports, so as to cultivate and render children.
Second, cultivate children's hobbies. According to the data, Gu Ailing not only likes skiing, but also likes riding, long-distance running, basketball and singing, and won prizes in related competitions. It can be said that Gu Ailing is not only a good student, but also has a wide and strong interest in sports and art, which is inseparable from Gu Yan's educational guidance.
Experience summary: for a child, learning is really important, and grades are also very important. However, as parents, on the basis of educating their children to study hard, they must cultivate their children's extensive and strong interests according to their talents and potentials. Children's learning and hobbies do not conflict, but complement each other.
Third, educating children should be willing to spend time and energy. Gu Yan likes to accompany his children, and it takes time and energy to educate them. She used to run a company, but for the sake of her children, she lost all her jobs, devoted herself to accompanying her children and educating them wholeheartedly. In order to support Gu Ailing's skiing, Gu drove her daughter to ski and train every weekend or holiday during the skiing season, regardless of the cold. It takes eight hours to drive back and forth every day, and Gu Yan has persisted in more than ten snow seasons. Gu Yan's spirit is touching.
Experience summary: It can be said that children are our greatest and best wealth, our hope and our future. As parents, no matter how busy, bitter and tired we are, we should be willing to spend time and energy on our children, pay attention to them, educate them and guide them. After all, family is a child's first school, and parents are a child's first teacher!
Of course, there are still many places worth learning and learning from Gu Yan's methods of educating children, such as Gu Yan's own knowledge, quality and foresight. I don't know how you feel about this, and if you have any good methods and suggestions, welcome comments and opinions.
