Behind every top student, there are excellent and wise parents
Mr. Ding, a senior teacher, shared his educational experience with me. His son, a sunny, intelligent, and assertive boy, was admitted to the Communication University of China with the first grade in the province. Such brilliant results are undoubtedly related to Mr. Ding's superb educational skills.
But more importantly, he cares and supports the children in all aspects. From refusing to run cram schools to protect the image of teachers, to putting aside entertainment to accompany children, to renting a house to accompany students, his efforts are unreserved.
Therefore, family is the first classroom for children's growth.
Every action and every word of parents has a deep impact on the hearts and minds of children.
As psychologists say, childhood experiences are deeply ingrained in the brain and become a lifelong mark. Therefore, good parents should not only satisfy their children materially, but also guide and support them spiritually.
However, all this is not an easy task.
Companionship and education take time and effort, and that's exactly what many parents in modern society lack. Many parents are so busy with work that they neglect the importance of getting along with their children. As Kai-Fu Lee said, "Children need more than just school education and homework supervision. Harvard psychology professor Gilbert pointed out that future regrets will not come from doing one less project, but may be because of not being able to spend more time with children.
Therefore, the role of parents is crucial.
Just like the psychologist Wang Renping said, educating children is actually educating themselves. Parents not only need to keep improving their knowledge and skills, but also need to keep up with the times in their thinking and concepts in order to influence and motivate their children.
In fact, the role of parents in children's growth is not only to provide material support and emotional shelter, but to be an all-round and far-reaching shaping force.
We often say that parents are their children's first teachers, but in fact, they are the most profound "life coaches" for children. This is not only reflected in their care and guidance for their children's academics, but more importantly, in the family, every parent-child interaction and the way each family member gets along with each other is silently affecting the child's character formation, values and worldview.
The lack of family education is difficult to make up for in school education.
Take Mr. Ding as an example, he is not only an outstanding educator, but also an excellent parent. The reason why he was able to cultivate an excellent son is not only because of his professional educational knowledge, but also because of his attention and guidance to every detail of his children's lives.
His success is a testament to the power of family education. Because what he creates for his children is not only a learning environment, but also a space for growth that is full of love, support and role models.
In fact, parents' behavior patterns, attitudes towards life, and even daily speech and behavior will be deeply imprinted in children's hearts. These invisible education are often more profound and lasting than the knowledge imparted in the classroom. Children will unconsciously imitate their parents' actions and absorb their parents' values.
Therefore, every action and choice of parents is extremely important. Li Zhenxi, a special teacher, pointed out that school education is only a supplement to family education, which once again emphasizes the central role of the family in children's education.
However, the challenges of homeschooling should not be underestimated. In this fast-paced society, many parents are running for their careers and livelihoods, and it is difficult to find enough time to spend with their children.
However, companionship is the most precious gift parents can give their children. Whether it is Ms. Ding or other successful parents, they are all trying to let go of their busy work and create a loving and supportive environment for their children.
It can be seen that the role of parents in children's education is not auxiliary, but core.
On the path of children's growth, the influence and driving force of parents is by no means extraordinary. Just like Mr. Ding and his son mentioned above, the companionship and education of parents is the key to children's excellent achievement.
In this process, the role of parents is not only a supporter or supervisor, but also a role model for children's learning and a guide for their hearts.
First, let's focus on the role of parents as role models in their children's education.
Psychological research has shown that children's behavioral habits, values, and even outlook on life are largely formed by imitating their parents. Every word and deed of parents is invisibly shaping the inner world of children. Excellent parents, their words and examples, work together on the child, so that the child will naturally embark on the path of excellence.
For example, Mr. Ding's high quality and love for education have undoubtedly given the most direct positive impact on children.
Next, the role of parents as the guide of the child's soul is particularly important.
When children encounter confusion and challenges, parents are not only the ones who answer the questions, but also provide a haven of moral support. This is fully reflected in Mr. Ding. He not only gave his son guidance in his studies, but also gave him enough support and care at the spiritual level, so that his son could grow up healthily in a good family atmosphere.
However, there is also a caveat: excessive parental involvement and inappropriate parenting methods can backfire. Every over-protective, over-expected or even over-interference from parents can become an obstacle to the independent growth of children. In the process of pursuing children's excellence, parents should realize that the essence of education is not how far children can go, but how solid and happy they can accompany them.
On this basis, parents should become role models for their children's learning, not only in terms of knowledge learning, but also in terms of life attitudes and values.
This requires not only parents to have good qualities and accomplishments, but also parents to be able to continue to demonstrate these qualities in their daily lives. Only such parents can truly help their children become outstanding talents in society.
In conclusion, parents play an indispensable role in their children's education.
They are not only the strong backing on the road of children's growth, but also the guide of children's spiritual growth. Excellent parents, through their words and deeds, set an example for their children, and use their own life attitudes and values to guide their children to become better people.
This kind of family education can cultivate a truly excellent next generation.
