I saw an article on an official WeChat account titled "Son, I don't want to push you, but I don't want you to regret it when you grow up". After reading it, I felt mixed feelings.
The article quotes some people, all of whom succeeded under the strict or even harsh requirements of their parents when they were young.
One of the 9-year-old boys, a tiger mother who graduated from Peking University, gave him a "little P-child exercise book", which made most netizens stunned.
Why? Because her 9-year-old son gets up at 5 o'clock every day and reads ancient Chinese for an hour at 6 o'clock every day.
From Monday to Friday, except for normal school, I watch News Network on time every night. I have an hour of English training at 8 pm and do my homework at 9 pm. I didn't go to bed until 1 1 at night.
On Saturday and Sunday, boys are busier.
Piano class on Saturday morning, training in the afternoon, Taekwondo. Latin dance training in the evening, and finishing homework at the weekend.
Sunday morning brush calligraphy, afternoon Olympic math training, swimming class. Practice writing brush copybook in the evening, 5 pages of Olympic math exercises.
There are three points for attention under the timetable, namely, preparing for the Taekwondo upgrade exam this week; Prepare for the piano band 6 exam; Journey to the West finished the third chapter.
As soon as this work schedule network was exposed, it caused an uproar among netizens.
The boy's mother was somewhat dissatisfied with the reaction of netizens. She said that she graduated from Peking University. Almost all her classmates came here like this, and her son was no exception.
"Compared with his peers, my son is really better." Speaking of the result of persistence, Tiger Mother is very pleased and proud.
Compared with this tiger mother, I have been carrying out the principle of giving my baby a happy childhood and trying not to put too much pressure on her. Therefore, apart from occasionally signing up for dance classes, piano classes (all for one semester) and chorus classes (all for two and a half years), we are dismissive of other cram schools.
However, this article makes me a little scared. I was thinking, am I wrong? Is it right to let children spend all their spare time studying hard and never relaxing? Is this the only way for children to succeed in the future?
There is a sentence in the article that makes me a little creepy-the only thing a child can do is study!
A 9-year-old boy, I don't know if he will really accept this almost abnormal schedule for his mother.
Of course, this is what the article should emphasize. As a parent, if you don't force your children, they will hate you when they grow up!
I even gasped when I saw it!
I admit that this will definitely help children's future and make them successful in the future. But what is success? Is there a standard?
Coincidentally, I watched a 45-minute video on Weibo today, which was a lecture "Tell me to you" given by Chen Guo, a teacher from Fudan University. It presented a completely different point of view from this article.
Teacher Chen Guo shared some philosophical words that she liked very much. Talking about the expectation of the future, she said that many of us pay too much attention to the future and habitually ignore the present and the present. Almost everything we do is to prepare for the future. It seems that only by doing this now will the future be better.
In particular, she quoted a poem by the famous poet Haizi, "Facing the sea, spring blossoms". Teacher Chen Guo said that the poem begins with "Be a happy person from tomorrow ...", "That is to say, he is not a happy person today, and he will become a happy person only tomorrow. But if you are not happy today, why will you be happy tomorrow? "
Great! We always prepare for the future, completely ignoring the present, the present and the present.

In the evening, I showed this article to the baby. After reading it carefully, she looked disdainful and threw me a "cut" to continue reading her book.
