I read an article in a WeChat official account with the title "Son, I don't want to force you, but I don't want you to regret it when you grow up". After reading it, I had mixed feelings.
The article cites a number of people, all of whom were made successful by their parents' strict or even almost harsh requirements when they were young.
One of the 9-year-old boys, Tiger Mother, who graduated from Peking University, gave him the "Little P Child Work Schedule", which surprised most netizens.
why? Because her 9-year-old son gets up at 5 o'clock every day and reads ancient Chinese for an hour at 6 o'clock every day.
From Monday to Friday, besides attending school normally, I watch News Network on time every night. I have an hour of English training at 8 pm and do my homework at 9 pm. I didn't go to bed until 11 pm.
on Saturday and Sunday, the boy is even busier.
Piano lessons on Saturday morning, Go training and Taekwondo in the afternoon. Latin dance training in the evening, and finish the homework at the weekend.
Sunday morning brush calligraphy, afternoon Olympic math training, swimming class. Practice writing brush copybook in the evening, 5 pages of Olympic math exercises.
There are three notes below the schedule, namely, preparing for the Taekwondo upgrade exam this week; Prepare for the piano band 6 exam; The Journey to the West finished reading the third chapter.
As soon as this schedule was exposed on the Internet, it caused an uproar among netizens.
The boy's mother is somewhat dissatisfied with the reaction of netizens. She said that she graduated from Peking University, and almost all her classmates came this way, so her son is no exception.
"Compared with his peers, my son is really better." Speaking of the result of persistence, the tiger mother is very pleased and proud.
Compared with this tiger mother, I have always adhered to the principle of letting my baby have a happy childhood and try not to put too much pressure on her. Therefore, apart from occasionally enrolling her in dance classes, piano classes (all of which have only been studied for one semester) and chorus classes (all of which have been studied for two and a half years), we are dismissive of all other cram schools.
However, this article makes me a little scared. I am thinking, is my idea wrong? Is it right to let children use all their spare time to study hard and never relax? Is this the only way to achieve children's future success?
There is a sentence in the article that makes me a little creepy-the only thing a child can do is study!
That 9-year-old boy, I don't know if he will really accept this schedule that is almost abnormal to his mother.
of course, this is what the article should emphasize. As a parent, if you don't force your children, they will hate you when they grow up!
I gasped even more!
I admit that doing this will definitely help the children's future and make them succeed in the future. But what is success? Is there a standard?
Coincidentally, I watched a 45-minute video on Weibo today, which was a lecture "Tell me to you" given by Chen Guo, a teacher of Fudan University, and it presented a completely different point of view from this article.
Teacher Chen Guo shared a few philosophical words that she liked very much. When it comes to the expectation of the future, she said that many of us pay too much attention to the future and habitually ignore the present and the present. Almost everything we do is to prepare for the future. It seems that only by doing this now will we be better in the future.
In particular, she cited a poem by the famous poet Haizi, "Facing the sea, spring blossoms". Teacher Chen Guo said that at the beginning of the poem, "Be a happy person from tomorrow ...", "That is to say, he is not a happy person today, and he will become a happy person only tomorrow. However, if you are not happy today, why will you be happy tomorrow? "
well said! We always prepare for the future, completely ignoring the present, the present and the present.

In the evening, I took this article to Bao Bei. After reading it carefully, she threw me a look of disdain and then continued reading her book.
