Recently, a 5-year-old Chinese girl named Chen Anke conquered the United States with her superb piano skills and joyful playing state on the stage of \”Little Talent Show\” in the United States. I carefully watched Chen Anke\’s complete video, and I have to say with admiration that it is a pleasure to watch Chen Anke play the piano. During her playing, her fingers were flying on the keys. There is no doubt that many piano boys of the same age as Chen Anke can achieve such skillful piano skills. Therefore, piano skills are not the biggest reason why Chen Anke conquered the United States. What is really amazing is her joyful playing state and sweet smile. Look at the way she looks at the audience with a smile between performances. Were you instantly infected by her joy? ! The entire audience was infected by her smile and got high. American netizens who watched the show also commented and liked her smile. To be honest, everyone likes such a sweet smile! After the performance, the host conducted a brief interview with her. It can be seen from her performance at the scene that Chen Anke is very lively, exactly like a 5-year-old girl. You can watch the live video: From her answers, we can know that she has only been learning piano for a year and a half, and she wants to be a piano master. Listening to her introduction, the hosts showed incredible expressions. In the usual impression, most children have serious expressions when they say this, as if they are reciting lines. When we listen, we feel bitter in our hearts and cannot feel happiness! But Chen Anke’s answer was completely different. She was lively and cute all the way. She was a kid but a big kid. Although her English was not very good, she could still grasp key words. For example, she felt that the translation did not express her meaning accurately and asked: Why didn\’t you say piano? Isn\’t piano a piano? Looking at her performance, even the host couldn\’t help but sigh: \”She is just a child. No one can force her to do anything.\” Indeed, Chen Anke\’s performance was completely enjoying the piano and music. From her performance, we can definitely feel that Chen Anke loves the piano from the bottom of his heart. This love has allowed her to play 4 hours a day since she was 3 years old. Such intensity is difficult for even a 30-year-old adult to achieve, let alone a 3-year-old child! For most children, playing the piano for 4 minutes a day is torture, and 4 hours is unimaginable. Is Chen Anke suffering? bitter! But is Chen Anke happy? You can tell by her smile that she is really happy! Piano is her interest and talent. The perfect combination of talent and interest allows her to conquer the world at a young age. Many parents always believe that children must be deliberately cultivated to possess a certain ability. We forget that every child has innate talents. What parents have to do is to help their children find their talents and then use them! Some children are good at music, some are beautiful in dance, some are strong in sports, and some are good in hands-on skills. God is fair to every child and has infused them with unique talents the moment they are born. Chen Anke is a child who is particularly talented at piano. This talent has been shown since she was more than 3 years old. More than a year ago, a video of Chen Anke playing the piano became an Internet sensation. At that timeShe had just started playing the piano and she was able to play like this. How could she have done it if she didn\’t have talent? It was indeed Chen Anke’s father who asked her to learn the piano when she first started learning it. Her initial interest was also cultivated by her parents. Her parents took her to take classes, attend concerts, and learn from masters to cultivate her musical literacy… But because of her talent, she was interested in piano. Only when Chen Anke is interested can he persevere vigorously, and it will be easier for him to obtain special results and enjoy the joy brought by this sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, there are so many children learning piano and musical instruments, and so many parents, like Chen Anke’s parents, take their children to concerts and find lessons from masters, but their children curl up their lips when it comes to practicing piano every day, let alone 4 hours, 4 minutes. I had to be urged and begged by my mother before I would practice! This is the difference between being talented and interested and being forced! If a child is forced to learn something he is not interested in, he will resist in every way he can think of. As Einstein said, \”Interest is the best teacher.\” This is especially true for children. Help children find their own interests, so that children will not be afraid of hardships, persevere, enjoy their interests, and enjoy their achievements from the bottom of their hearts. Many mothers will be very distressed. There are so many kinds of interest classes now, how can they find things that their children are interested in? In this regard, my suggestion is, first of all, you must take your children to see the world more, let them try more, such as painting, music, writing, and sports. There are many experience classes for children to experience more, and then ask their opinions. What children are really interested in is that they will be particularly interested and able to persist. Take the Mathematical Olympiad for example. Everyone thinks that the Mathematical Olympiad is painful and too perverted. But the child of a friend of mine particularly likes Mathematical Olympiads. He has shown special interest in thinking training since he was four years old. If he is allowed to do it, he will not feel bored if he does it for several hours a day and can persist. This is the power of interest. Don\’t think that children don\’t understand. Children will be more interested in their own interests and be more able to persist to the end. Therefore, when a child shows interest in a certain thing, parents should give full support. Maybe the thing he is concentrating on is where his talent lies. However, while supporting, parents should also clearly know that when their children are not interested, they have the right to give up and allow them to try new things. Some parents feel that once their children decide on a certain interest class, they should stick to it. In fact, the child doesn\’t know whether he is really interested, so when his interest passes, he has the right to give up. If a child is really interested, he will regain interest after giving up for a while. Zaizai became obsessed with playing drums when he was 5 years old. At first he was very interested, but gradually, every time someone stared at him, he reluctantly picked up the drum sticks and practiced a few times. Going to class is also a waste of time. I persisted for more than a year and saw that he was in pain every time. After getting his consent, I gave up. After giving up for a year, he proposed to continue learning to play the drums. From time to time, he took out the drum sticks and played a few times. After he made clear his desire several times, I allowed him to go ahead and start playing the drums again. Although he has forgotten all the content he learned before, this time he does not need me to scream, he will take the initiative to practice. If the child is not interested or temporarily encounters a bottleneck period,The child should also be allowed to give up. There are countless possibilities for growth, and he may become interested again after a while. In life, no one can tell which one is their talent, but only by constantly trying can the real answer be found. Every child has his own independent talent, and all parents have to do is accompany, guide and support this talent! When a child is interested, create conditions for him to follow his inner interest, and the child may create a sky that is exclusive to him! When children follow their hearts and enjoy their interests, you can see the same sweet smile of Chen Anke on your child’s face!
