Harvard Family Lesson: Most children who grow up to be successful have these three small problems as children
It is every parent’s hope that their children will succeed in the future.
Even if the child does not become rich or expensive, parents hope that he or she will grow up to be an industrious, motivated, well-behaved and useful person to the society. How to educate their children is also a topic that has troubled millions of parents for a long time.
As the online joke goes, “We are all first-time parents, so when it comes to parenting, we all use our own judgment and learn from the experiences of other parents around us.
And now, the market is flooded with all kinds of reference books on homeschooling, “Harvard Family Instruction” is one of them.
In the Harvard Family Sermon, it is noted that children who grow up to be successful often have these three little “problems” when they are young:
Curious about everything, as if walking “one hundred thousand why”
It is human nature to be curious about external things. Let alone young children, they just contact the world, know the world, they will be full of questions about everything around.
However, parents usually take children, often will be a variety of trifles get agitated, at this time if the curious baby again to say “why?”, impatient parents anger will instantly jump up.
Research has found that before the age of 10, children’s brains develop rapidly, encounter curious things, create new questions, and then ask questions to find answers or solutions to problems.
In fact, this process itself is the formation of children’s brain and way of thinking, so parents can guide and intervene through effective means, so as to make children’s thinking better.
02. I like to throw things about and often make a mess at home
For this point, I believe that parents with children have deep experience: one second just put away, placed toys, the next second may have been lying on the ground everywhere, or even, some may have disintegrated.
Children naughty throwing is to make people angry, but if the parents so casually beat, it is not necessarily a good way, sometimes, appropriate guidance may have greater help.
My friend’s children are also of a mischievous age, and the house is rarely in perfect order. Then the friend told the baby directly: the toy is your own, where you took it, you have to put it back.
As time goes by, children gradually form the habit of taking toys away. Thought, this habit will have a positive effect on children in the future.
I am very focused on what I do. Sometimes I even ignore other information because I am so focused
Sometimes parents find that their children are so focused on things, such as watching cartoons or playing with toys, that they can’t even hear others calling them.
As a result, parents may worry that the child is being too egoistic. In fact, children do this is a manifestation of their ability to focus on what is in front of them and eliminate external distractions.
If parents can carry out good guidance, let the child to their own focus on learning, or hobbies, so as to form good learning habits.
In addition, if the child because of focus and ignore the call of parents, parents try not to beat or scold or severely reprimand for this, it will not only affect the children to develop the habit of concentration, but also have a negative impact on their psychology.
In many cases, parents’ reasonable education and guidance have a profound impact on their children. But for most parents, it is often learning from others or finding ways to educate their children on their own.
But what’s a better way?
At this time, we may as well read this book – Harvard Family Instruction, perhaps after reading this book, we will have a new perspective on the education of children.
Harvard, I believe everyone is familiar with it, is one of the top universities in the world. Over the years, Harvard University has cultivated 7 presidents, 34 Nobel Prize winners and hundreds of world elites.
The book “Harvard Family Instruction” is written by William. It draws on the educational essence of the famous American universities represented by Harvard to guide children’s life in a comprehensive and systematic way. Besides, it also provides some inspiration for personal work and life.
By reading this book, parents can find out the appropriate education methods for themselves and their children, instead of feeling for the stones as before.
Japanese mystery writer Kotaro Isaka once said, “The thought of becoming a parent without having to pass an exam is terrifying.”
It can be seen that educating children is also a process of continuous learning and growth for parents. Through “Harvard Family Instruction” to learn better educational ideas and methods, children, parents and even the whole family will have a better impact.
What’s more, children can learn from the stories when they grow up, so the book is a good investment for families.
