If you have perseverance, why sleep at the third watch and wake up at the fifth watch? The most useless thing is to be exposed to the sun for one day and cold for ten days.
As a parent, what you are most concerned about is your children’s education. Speaking of hot topics, parents and students are very interested in the college entrance examination and high school entrance examination held in June every year. Whenever the scores are released, the top scorer in the college entrance examination will become a hot topic of conversation. Some schools will even invite top scorers and their parents to share some successful experiences. Major media are also keen to report on the stories behind "students".
Some people think that "a top student is born". In fact, on the road of learning, persistence and seriousness are the keys to becoming a top student.
Learning is a long-term accumulation process. Only by persisting in completing the learning tasks at each stage can we lay a solid foundation for the next stage of learning. It's like a building that has a weak foundation and the ground shakes. The reason why the Leaning Tower of Pisa tilts is not intentional by the designer, but the cumulative effect of ground subsidence: the Leaning Tower was originally a vertical building in the original design, but it began to deviate from the correct position in the early stages of construction. In the first stage of construction, when the third floor of the tower was completed, the clock tower tilted about 1/4° to the north; in the second stage, due to excessive correction, it tilted to the south by about 0.6 when the seventh floor was completed. °; It was not until the construction of the top bell house in 1360 that the tilt of the leaning tower increased to 1.6°.
The same is true in learning. If the foundation in the previous stage is not solid, it will inevitably affect the learning in the later stage. Smart children, on the other hand, will not only preview new knowledge during the holidays, but also systematically review old knowledge.
The reason why a top student is a top student is that in addition to their own efforts, the environment provided by their parents is also very important.
Smart parents understand that “if you can’t let go of your children, you can’t trap the wolf”, and education also requires investment. Of course, this kind of investment is not just money, but also includes persistence and companionship year after year. If children are allowed to develop freely without parental encouragement and support, the child's future will be filled with more uncertainties.
The growth of the fairy tale king Zheng Yuanjie is a very typical example. His father is a teacher at Shijiazhuang Advanced Infantry Academy. It is said that there are always various books on their desk at home, and his father is lying on the desk. The scene of reading and writing lesson plans has been with him growing up, and this was Zheng Yuanjie’s earliest enlightenment education. He once joked that if his father often took him to play mahjong, maybe he would be the Mahjong God now. He once said, "I think a father's example is more effective than asking his children to get 100% points in the exam."
No expert’s golden rule has a more direct effect on children than parents’ words and deeds. As parents, we must help our children learn to enjoy the process of learning, and gain the joy of knowledge in the process of learning. Only then can children experience the joy of learning and the power of knowledge, and only then can children have stronger motivation to explore and accept new knowledge.
At present, there are various types of tutoring and training schools in society, which can solve some of the problems that children have in learning current knowledge. However, it is particularly important to cultivate children's yearning for knowledge and interest in learning, because Good habits make life shine. For example, sometimes parents directly ask their children to study, or ask them to read a number of pages a week, and they may actually read it. But is it to read with a problem in mind, or is it a temporary solution to deal with parents? A parent once asked his children to do a few pages of extracurricular homework every day and bought a lot of English information books for their children. However, the child only took one morning to finish the questions in the entire textbook! As you can imagine, there are so many questions in a workbook, two to three hundred pages, that it is quite strenuous to read it from beginning to end, let alone complete it with quality and quantity. The child's answers all read A, B, C, and D, and the options were only A, B, and C.
Today’s children are exposed to various cultures much earlier than when we were children, and the rebellious period also comes earlier. Sometimes the more parents ask, the less willing their children are to do it. For something as trivial as reading, instead of asking their children to read a number of pages a week, parents might as well tell their children stories in the book and entice them to look for answers in the book themselves.
As the times continue to advance and knowledge is constantly updated, sometimes as parents we may not be as knowledgeable as the children who are learning. Therefore, in order to educate children well, parents must also keep pace with the times, live to learn, and constantly make themselves better. Behind the “students” there may not necessarily be wealthy parents, nor may they have highly educated parents, but they must have parents who are persuasive and persuasive. We are not trying to cultivate "students", but to make our children better than before and able to swim in the ocean of knowledge. Therefore, we do not need to envy the excellence of other people's children, but should cultivate our own children bit by bit. This is the most important thing.
