Education plan for children

China has been famous for its exam-oriented education since ancient times. Knowledge is also the ladder of our human progress. It is because of education that our civilization has been passed down from generation to generation. In our Chinese thinking, every parent hopes that their children can become successful. For this reason, many parents are very strict in educating their children. However, educating children also requires some skills. We cannot just criticize children blindly. So how should we educate our children in life?

The first type: inheritance education

When educating the next generation, many parents will unconsciously think of how their own parents taught them. Of course, what we are talking about here is good educational methods. Therefore, we will more or less adopt the good aspects of the way our parents educated us and teach them to our children, passing it down from generation to generation. This is what we often call family tradition.

Children always imitate their parents' behavior and are influenced by their parents unconsciously. Even after they grow up, their childhood life will leave a deep mark in their subconscious mind. As the saying goes, "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a son who can dig holes." What we want to express here is not the issue of status, but education. What kind of parents are, what kind of children they will raise. This is enough to prove that parents have a huge influence on their children.

If you are satisfied with your growth and generally agree with your parents' educational methods, then you might as well start with imitation, inherit your parents' educational methods, and use them as the basis of your educational style.

The second type: personalized education

As the old saying goes, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different. The difference here not only refers to appearance, but also to personality. The same is true for people. As a parent, you may understand this best. A person who is relatively quiet and doesn't like to talk may feel out of place and uncomfortable even if he is among a group of optimistic, cheerful and noisy people.

It is difficult for people to go against their own personality for a long time, and the same is true when it comes to educating children. We cannot ask our children to become a certain kind of person. What we need to do is to see and understand our children's personalities, find out their preferences, and based on their personalities, find the most appropriate educational style so that we can persist in it for a long time.

The third type: education by example

If you have complaints about your parents' educational methods, you may not be able to figure out your child's personality or interests for the time being. Then, parents can try to find a role model for their children. This role model can be someone around the child or an elder. Show the advantages of the role model to the child so that the child has a goal and a direction.

Of course, you can change the role model after a period of time, so that your children can learn the strengths of the role models one by one and combine them in one. Of course, parents need to control the degree, not to praise the role models excessively, and not to compare them with their children excessively. Doing so will only make children feel disgusted and reject them.

What parents should pay attention to when educating their children:

Creative praise

When your child behaves well, don't just say, "Good." Be specific when giving praise, mention the details, point out what was impressive or that the student's performance was better than last time, for example, "You took the initiative to say good morning to the security guard today. That was really polite." However, be careful when giving praise so as not to foster wrong expectations in your children. Some parents reward their children with gifts or money, causing their children to focus on what rewards they can get rather than good behavior. Parents should let their children discover on their own the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a task, rather than rewarding them with material rewards.

Stimulate his inner artistic talent

Although scientists have confirmed that there is no so-called "Mozart effect", exposing children to more activities such as music, art, and dance can still enrich their inner world. Experts have found that when children dance to music or paint with a brush, they are actually expressing their inner world and emotions. Children who like to draw, dance or play music will feel more satisfied with themselves.

Encourage him to exercise more

Play ball, ride a bike, swim with your child... More exercise can not only improve your child's physical fitness, but also make him more cheerful. Maintaining an active lifestyle can moderately relieve children's stress and emotions, and allow children to like themselves, have a more positive body image, and find fun and a sense of accomplishment from exercise.
