Parents often come to complain to Chen\’s mother: \”Children need to be watched by adults when doing homework, playing on the computer all day long, sleeping, eating, and going to school. In short, adults must watch over everything big or small, otherwise, don\’t expect them to.\” You can do it yourself.\” In fact, these are all manifestations of children\’s lack of self-control. It’s not just children who can’t control themselves, adults are the same: “When I get up in the morning, I tell myself: Count down thirty seconds, and then play the ball after counting. However, I fall asleep after counting to 15…” “After writing this paragraph, I divided Three times, I also checked Moments and ate snacks once. \”I want to lose weight, but I can\’t keep my mouth shut; I want to exercise, but I can\’t move my legs; I want to go to bed early, but I still lie in bed and scroll through my phone… We all know: The self-control embodied by self-discipline is an important quality for a person to achieve higher achievements. It will determine the success and happiness of a person\’s future studies and even his life. How important is self-discipline? Apple founder Steve Jobs said this: \”Where does freedom come from? From self-confidence, and self-confidence comes from self-discipline.\” Self-discipline leads to confidence, and self-confidence leads to freedom. Gang Leader Qiao gets up at four o\’clock every day and finishes his work before nine o\’clock. It is his strong self-discipline that allows Apple to usher in a new era of smartphones. M. Scott Pike wrote this in \”The Road Less Traveled\”: \”Self-discipline is the main tool to solve life\’s problems, and it is also the most important way to eliminate the pain of life.\” Yu Minhong also said: \”Without self-management, It\’s hard to get better in life.\” The height of everyone\’s life is closely related to self-discipline. However, for most children, self-discipline is a scarce commodity. They often do things haphazardly, doing whatever comes to mind without any planning, and they often stop doing things halfway through and cannot finish things from beginning to end. This is actually very detrimental to the growth of children. Self-disciplined children are better. For children, self-discipline and concentration are equally important. Without good self-control and self-management abilities, it is difficult to achieve the goals they set. There is a particularly famous marshmallow experiment in psychology: let 4-year-old children stay in a room and tell them that they can eat marshmallows at any time, but if they wait until the experimenter comes back to eat, they will get more marshmallows. At the beginning of the experiment, some children ate it immediately; some persisted for a while, but finally couldn\’t hold it back; some children kept diverting their attention by singing and talking to themselves, and persisted until the end, getting more marshmallows. . After the experiment, a follow-up survey of these children found that the children who could persist were significantly better than other children, more popular, had higher wages, etc. And those children who eat the marshmallow immediately have poor interpersonal relationships, are not good at coping with stress, and lack concentration… People with self-discipline have their own happiness, but people without self-discipline suffer much the same. Everyone is lazy, and children are no exception. They want to stay in bed in the morning, want toys when they see them, eat snacks when they see them, like to play but don’t want to do homework… It seems difficult to talk to them about self-discipline. However, this does not mean that parents can ignore their children\’s self-discipline. Children who are not born with self-discipline need to be nurtured by their parents from an early age. Some suggestions for cultivating children\’s self-discipline and helping children find things they are interested inWhat is self-discipline? In layman\’s terms, it is a kind of self-control, that is, restraining one\’s impulse to do something. Think about how we as adults control our impulses and become self-disciplined? Let\’s take an example that all mothers have a deep understanding of: We have all had the urge to buy clothes. Many mothers say that they couldn\’t restrain themselves no matter how they used to, but after having children, strangely, this urge has decreased a lot. This actually shows that human endurance is limited and motivation is the key to self-discipline. Once you love your baby and know how to save money to raise your baby, and your motivation is strong, self-control will not be difficult to achieve. Interest will make a person aware of resisting the temptation to have fun and the pity of wasting time; interest will also make a person willing to make plans and implement them firmly, because he knows that this will make him far away from what he loves. The future is getting closer. Help children understand and manage time. On the opposite side of self-discipline, there is a word called procrastination: \”The homework is due on Monday, and I will finish it tomorrow night.\” \”My parents haven\’t urged me yet, so I will play with my phone more.\” \”It\’s okay, go to bed again.\” Yes, I won\’t be late for school.\” \”It\’s not in a hurry anyway…\” In the eyes of adults, children often have a subjective procrastination phenomenon, always delaying things that should be completed, and seem to be dragging their feet. To cultivate children\’s self-discipline, it is necessary to guide children to develop good habits of effectively managing time and using time efficiently. Parents can first teach their children to do things according to a time plan and set a schedule for their children. For example, when a child does something he is reluctant to do, let the child give himself a completion time and tell him that after completing it within the specified time, the remaining time can be freely used. Stimulate children\’s enthusiasm and initiative and develop good time management skills. Helping children establish a sense of rule-abiding and setting reasonable rules for everything is an important starting point for cultivating a sense of rules. What are the rules? It is the rules and codes of conduct that are set out for people to abide by. The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Unruly scrambling will cause social chaos. If you want your child to be self-disciplined, you must also teach him to follow the rules. Nowadays, parents give children whatever they want. If they are satisfied, they will become unable to control themselves. Therefore, we must consciously cultivate the virtue of self-discipline in children in the details of life. For example, I don’t allow my children to eat too many sweets, and only set certain special festival days to taste some sweets. I almost never buy snacks in piles. Instead, I go to the supermarket once a week and agree to only buy snacks every week. Two things… In this way, my son showed good self-discipline at a very young age. The root of a child\’s self-discipline lies in his parents. Only parents who understand self-discipline can raise a truly conscious child. On the road to self-discipline, parents must first set a good example. It can even be said to be a penance, because the road to self-discipline requires courage and determination. I remember one time, I turned on the TV and watched a program in the morning. My son came over and asked, \”Dad, why are you watching TV in the morning?\” \”Oh! There is something very important on TV today. Dad wants to watch it.\” Look, it will turn off after a while.\” Later, I tried to avoid watching TV during the time we set. Just because you can’t do it yourself, don’t ask your children to do it. Some people may ask, \”Do I have to give up myself for the sake of my children?\”Self? \”I just want to answer: \”Being a parent does not require you to give up on yourself, but you must give up a lot of bad things about yourself. Because parents are not a title, but a responsibility. \”After all, no matter how good the educational concept is, it cannot be worth the word \”teaching by example.\” Therefore, parents who are addicted to mahjong every day, or play games on their mobile phones when they get home, don\’t blame your children for not studying hard because of your own chaotic life. , unable to give their children enough attention and the power of role models. Remember: children of self-disciplined parents will be good. On this road, watch each other, grow together, and become better and better.
