Jackie Chan welcomes the New Year
When the bell rings for the New Year, we always set new goals and plans for our children. But in this era of pursuing "abundance", what is true abundance? Is it to give children endless material comforts, or to infuse their souls with rich nourishment?
I once returned to my hometown after a long absence, and met a neighbor who had invested heavily in his children's education. They used to fill their children's winter vacation with various study and winter camps, but this year, they chose a different one. They begin to realize that children's growth is not only about learning, but also about life experience, character building and spiritual nourishment.
Educator Tao Xingzhi once said: "Life is education." This sentence touched me deeply. We don't have to go after expensive school district houses or cram schools, because real education is hidden in the daily bits and pieces. A simple smile and a sincere greeting are indispensable nutrients for children's growth.
Parenting is the best business card for children to interact with others. A polite, well-behaved child will earn the respect and affection of others. Character is a solid cornerstone on a child's life path. A kind, grateful child will go further and more steadily.
However, we are also finding that more and more children are losing that innocence and curiosity. They are immersed in the virtual world and lose interest in real life. What a heart-wrenching truth! We need to guide our children so that they can rediscover their love of life and thirst for knowledge.
Love is the most important element in a child's growth. A child who grows up in love will have enough security to dare to face life's challenges. And a child who lacks love may spend a lifetime making up for that lack.
I once heard a netizen share his experience: he stewed meat, made dumplings for his children, and encouraged his children to play with their classmates. These simple daily activities bring endless joy and satisfaction to children.
In the new year, let's let go of those complicated educational concepts and return to the simplest life. Let us accompany our children with our hearts, nourish their hearts with love, and let them find their own direction and value in the real world.
Finally, I would like to say that education is inherently inherently inherent. We don't need to deliberately pursue a certain way of education, we just need to treat children sincerely and accompany them with love and patience. This kind of education is the most real and valuable.
