Education is the cause of cultivating people, and it carries the civilization and progress of a nation. However, the purpose of education seems to be increasingly deviating from its essence in our home and school education, and most parents and schools focus too much on test scores and neglect the physical and mental health and all-round development of their children. This type of education is not only detrimental to children's development, but can also have a negative impact on them. Therefore, we need to re-examine the purpose of education and return to focusing on the healthy development of children.

First of all, we need to understand that education is not about getting good grades. With the improvement of the level of science and technology and the quality of economic development, the competition for employment is becoming more and more fierce, and parents often pay too much attention to their children's test scores in order to let their children have a better development in the future. This approach to education is increasingly limited. Because children's development does not only depend on test scores, test scores should not be the purpose of education, but only a way of evaluation, and should focus on children's physical and mental health, interpersonal communication, emotional expression, aesthetic concepts and other abilities. An education method that only focuses on grades can easily lead to problems such as psychological problems, interpersonal tensions, and lack of innovative spirit. Therefore, we need to get rid of the "fractionalism" educational concept and pay attention to the all-round development of children.

Secondly, the healthy growth of children requires a good educational environment. A positive, healthy and harmonious educational environment can provide sufficient nutrients for children's growth. In such an environment, children are not only able to acquire knowledge, but also develop a correct outlook on life, values, and worldview. Conversely, if the educational environment is full of stress and competition, children may feel anxious, helpless, and lost, which is not conducive to their healthy development. Therefore, we should strive to create an educational environment that is relaxed, free, and sensitive to individual differences, so that every child can grow up healthily.

Finally, education should be child-centered. The object of education is children, and the purpose of education is for their healthy growth. Therefore, the approach and approach to education should be child-centered, with full respect for their individuality, interests, and needs. Only in this way can children's interest and motivation in learning be truly stimulated, so that they can actively participate in learning. At the same time, a child-centered approach to education fosters skills such as autonomy, creativity, and critical thinking, which cannot be measured by test scores.

To sum up, education should be centered on the healthy development of children and not just focus on test scores. In order to achieve this, we need to start with the following aspects:

1.Parents and schools should change the educational concept of "fraction-only", start from paying attention to the all-round development of children, and pay attention to cultivating their comprehensive quality and ability. At the same time, it is also important to recognize that each child has their own characteristics and strengths, and that their personality differences should be respected and encouraged to develop their own strengths and interests.

2.Creating a good educational environment is essential for the healthy development of children. We should strive to create a positive, healthy and harmonious educational environment, so that children can learn and grow in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to the details of the educational environment, such as school facilities, teacher-student relationships, class atmosphere, etc., which will have an impact on children's development.

3.Reforming the Educational Evaluation SystemEducational evaluation system is an important factor affecting the purpose of education. We should establish a diversified evaluation system to evaluate children's performance and ability from multiple aspects. At the same time, we should also pay attention to process evaluation and self-evaluation, so that children can know, reflect and improve themselves in the evaluation. By reforming the education evaluation system, we can guide parents and schools to pay more attention to the healthy growth of their children.

4.Improving the quality of teachersTeachers are the main body of educational work, and their quality has a direct impact on the quality and effectiveness of education. We should pay attention to the professional development of teachers and the construction of teachers' ethics, and improve teachers' education and teaching ability and literacy. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the connection and cooperation between teachers, parents and the community to jointly provide support and services for the healthy growth of children. In short, education is for the healthy development of children, not just for test scores. We should start from various aspects, change concepts, create an environment, reform the evaluation system, and improve the quality of teachers to promote the all-round development of children. Only in this way can we truly achieve the purpose of education, so that every child can grow up healthy and reach their potential.
