Cultivating children, good habits are more important than good scores

The famous educator Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: \”What education is, to put it simply, there is only one sentence, which is to develop good habits.\” However, now many families and school education have gone astray. Everyone pays too much attention to their children\’s scores and does not care about the development of their habits. In fact, good habits are not only helpful for learning, but also improve emotional intelligence and benefit children throughout their lives. Please help your children develop the following 6 good habits! 1. Put things in their place. Putting things in their place means [putting things back where they were taken from]. For example, every time you organize toys and put them back in the cabinet. Help children develop this habit from an early age so that they will not lose things in life and cannot find things; in terms of psychological development, it can help them establish a sense of order and responsibility as early as possible and cultivate their self-control in not leaving things around. 2. Daily plan: In the morning, make a To Do List for your day, check the boxes when you are done, and summarize every night. Help children develop such a habit so that they can live a fulfilling life every day; in terms of psychological development, it can cultivate their self-awareness and introspection, time management and goal execution. 3. Fall in love with reading. Set up a reading corner at home and spend at least 30 minutes reading with your children every day. There is no restriction on the content of the book or the form of the book, it is just about cultivating the habit of reading. In life, reading makes children’s lives richer, their horizons broader, and their knowledge broader; in terms of psychological development, reading every day makes their thinking more flexible and self-disciplined! 4. Keep exercising. Arrange long or short parent-child exercise time every other day. It is best to do it outdoors. It can be a brisk walk or run, or you can do exercises in the park. Stick to it. I still remember the news a few days ago: In a physical fitness test at a high school in Shanghai, 1/3 of the boys failed in the pull-up event. What’s even more shocking is that many students don’t even have the desire to work hard enough to complete a pull-up. The benefits of exercise are not just physical fitness, it is also important for children’s mental health. Sports can make children forget their worries, gaze at themselves, and gain perseverance. This is a precious moment that nothing can replace. 5. Neatness and hygiene. A person\’s personal hygiene is that person\’s business card, and it also determines others\’ first impression of you. Let children brush their teeth in the morning and evening, trim their nails and hair regularly, and keep their clothes clean and smell-free from an early age… These hygiene habits may seem like small things, but they reflect a person\’s self-requirements and self-cultivation. Appearing with a clean and tidy image is also a form of respect for others. Maintaining these habits can make children healthier and more comfortable in life; in terms of psychological development, it can also make them more confident and facilitate social interactions. 6. Smile with your children in the morning, face you in the mirror, smile, and say in your heart: It’s a new day, come on! Teach your children to always smile, whether facing strangers or friends or relatives, and bring a good mood to others. Keeping a smile can bring children a happy mood, an optimistic attitude and lasting friendship. A bright smileRong is so approachable! Once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change! Therefore, parents, please help your children gain good habits before they develop bad habits. The power of good habits is beyond your imagination. They can bring knowledge, happiness and success! To cultivate children, good habits are more important than good scores!
