In today's society, many parents are faced with a puzzle: how to raise a child with all-round qualities and good character. However, in our busy lives, we sometimes overlook aspects that seem trivial but have far-reaching impacts, such as aesthetic education. The book "Aesthetics is the Best Tutoring" by the famous Japanese ** family and educator Miya Yamamoto reveals for us the importance of aesthetic education in family education, and how to improve children's comprehensive quality by cultivating their sense of beauty.
First of all, the book makes a compelling point: beauty is the best tutor. By interviewing hundreds of Japanese educators and summarizing their own parenting experiences, the author emphasizes the importance of aesthetic education in children's growth. Beauty encompasses not only visual enjoyment, but also the experience of hearing, touch, taste and smell. By cultivating children's sense of beauty, it can stimulate their creativity, imagination, improve their aesthetic level, and also promote their interpersonal skills and emotional expression skills.
To illustrate this point, the book gives an interesting case. Suppose there is a child who likes ** very much, but the parents think that learning Xi** requires a lot of time and energy, so they do not support the child's learning Xi. This child's ** talent may be buried because of this, and the opportunity to cultivate it is missed. This case tells us that the cultivation of beauty does not require a lot of time and energy, but requires us to pay attention to and guide children in daily life to help them discover, appreciate and create beauty.
Second, the book emphasizes the importance of small Xi. The author believes that cultivating children's sense of beauty needs to start with small Xi in life. For example, buy more books, CDs and other items, these items are not expensive, but they will not reduce your spiritual enjoyment. You can also improve your child's aesthetic ability through high-cost activities such as ** meetings, but you don't have to be obsessed with non-celebrities, and some low-profile performances are more cost-effective. In addition, the book also mentions many improvement measures that are closely related to the parents' own lives, such as mom insisting on a monthly haircut to maintain a delicate condition, dad can take the family out to eat once a week, and establish a sense of ritual in life. These don't cost too much, but they can really affect the child's aesthetic experience.
Through the cultivation of these small Xi, we can let children feel the existence of beauty everywhere in their lives. This aesthetic experience not only helps to improve the overall quality of children, but also allows them to maintain an optimistic attitude in the face of life's setbacks and difficulties.
Finally, the book mentions that aesthetic education is a two-way interactive process. The author believes that cultivating children's sense of beauty is not only to make them become artists or homes, but more importantly, to enable them to discover, appreciate, and create beauty in life. This aesthetic experience not only improves their quality of life, but also makes them more confident and appropriate in their interpersonal interactions. At the same time, the cultivation of aesthetics can also improve the quality of life of parents and some problems in their parents' lives.
Overall, the book "Aesthetics is the Best Parenting" gives us a whole new perspective on parenting. By nurturing children's sense of beauty, we can stimulate their creativity, imagination, and improve their aesthetic level, while also promoting their interpersonal skills and emotional expression. The cultivation methods of small Xi mentioned in the book and the two-way interactive aesthetic education process are very worthy of our practice and consideration. To sum it up with a quote from the book: "The power of beauty is infinite, it can change not only our lives, but also ourselves." ”
