The importance of raising children to be spiritually rich

\”Only when children are rich in spirit can they spend this life better.\” Dong Yuhui shared a story in the live broadcast, which is also a piece of advice for parents. One of his students wanted to drop out of school, but Dong Yuhui mistakenly thought it was because his family had financial difficulties. The six most classic sentences in \”Hanyao Fu\” of \”Eternal Qiwen Hanyao Fu\” can only be understood by the children behind the scenes. This father just thinks that studying is of little significance. He will have to go home to take care of business in a few years, so it is better to make preparations earlier. The way many parents love their children is to help them establish a foundation for survival. Find a comfortable job, earn more money, and have material prosperity. Isn\’t this a happy life? But in fact, happiness is a feeling of abundance. The satisfaction of reading a good book, the happiness of sharing dinner with family, the value of helping others solve problems, the joy of choosing gifts for friends… These may not seem to have anything to do with wealth, but they can support the meaning of a child\’s life. Compared with material wealth, spiritual wealth is the destination of children\’s life. If they want their children to live a happy life, parents should pay more attention to their children\’s spiritual satisfaction. From the early childhood of our children, we can do these five things with our children to let them have a rich experience, which is to save the capital of wealth for them. Chat with your children 10 minutes before going to bed every day. Zhou Yijun, the director of the documentary \”Childhood in a Foreign Country\”, created the \”2 Minutes Before Bedtime\” session in order to maintain good communication with his children. After lights out, give each person a few minutes to talk about what happened today, whether it\’s feelings or unpleasant experiences. She will talk to her children about work, and the children are willing to share school matters with her. Through chatting before going to bed, she successfully opened the child\’s heart and understood the child\’s psychological condition in a timely manner. But for children, it is an expression of love for parents to listen to them attentively. Because we love you, we want to share our thoughts, feelings, and secrets with you about how important you are to our parents. Zhang Juan, a child education expert, pointed out in the book \”Meeting Children in the Deepness of Life\”: Give a child enough love, and his life will be fuller. It will be easier for him to focus on the construction of his own life and achieve inner peace through inner peace. Gain a sense of self with joy. Yes, when children can express themselves freely and live happily according to their own wishes. Even if you encounter setbacks, think about your parents who are worthy of trust and dependence. Children will have no psychological worries and can live a free life. For 10 minutes every night, let us truly belong to our children. This small satisfaction will become our children\’s emotional wealth. When a child is always surrounded by a sense of abundance, his life will be less likely to go astray. Go to the library with your children and ask a question on Zhihu: \”How to make children fall in love with reading from an early age?\” A mother shared her experience: She regularly takes her children to the library every Sunday so that they can experience the ritual of reading. After persisting for a period of time, every Sunday, the child will know that this day will be used for reading. Different from reading at home, the library not only cultivates children\’s interest in reading, but also helps children learn to focus and be quiet. Zhu Yongxin once said: A person\’s spiritual development history is his reading history. Because the value of life actually depends on the quality of inner spiritual life, and spiritual wealth is a child\’s real wealth. If parents can insist on accompanying their children to the library and guide them to read good books, they are helping their children find the meaning of life.Answer. In repeated explorations, parents help their children find themselves, and their children will also be grateful for their parents\’ company. Moreover, the solemn and quiet atmosphere of the library and the rich variety of books can easily inspire children\’s eagerness to learn and seek knowledge. Of course, the original intention of going to the library is to cultivate children\’s interest in reading. When choosing books, we try to respect children\’s preferences instead of forcing children to read utilitarianally. In addition to reading, parents should encourage their children to talk about the inspiration of a book, different perspectives, and what they have learned. Because compared to the answers in the book, the child\’s answer is the answer to his life. Open a bank account for your kids A mother raised two billionaires, what’s the secret to parenting? Shala, a Shanghai Jewish mother, shared in the book \”Financial Education for Jewish Mothers\”: Open a children\’s account for your children so that they can learn to save money from an early age. Because how much money you earn does not determine the outcome, but how much money you save determines whether you are rich or poor. Our children may not all be millionaires, but let’s follow Salad’s example and open a bank account for our children. By taking care of money themselves, children can not only learn basic savings knowledge, but also gain insight into the logic of wealth: small amounts of money can turn into wealth when accumulated in large amounts, and large amounts of money can be ignored, and the rich can become poor. Sometimes, vivid practice will make children\’s experience more profound. A friend of mine uses this method to educate his children. When the child is 9 years old, he has his own bank account. In addition to saving the New Year\’s money, she also encourages her children to put their leftover pocket money from shopping on weekdays into piggy banks. When there is more money in the piggy bank, she and her child will deposit the money into the child\’s small account. Now that the child understands interest increases and sees the magic of money generating money, he is becoming more and more rational about consumption. Every parent is willing to do everything for their children, without reservation. But true love doesn\’t necessarily mean spending money for him, it can also mean teaching him to save money. We give our children a healthy outlook on money so that they can enjoy it throughout their lives. The far-sighted love of their parents is their precious spiritual wealth. Teach children how to cook. Psychologist He Lingfeng taught his daughter an essential skill in life, which is cooking. My daughter has been learning how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes on a small bench since kindergarten. Although the scene was a mess, cooking gave the child an incomparable sense of satisfaction. Because she can cook, she not only took good care of herself while studying abroad, but also developed warm friendships through food. Cooking is a labor of healing for the soul. It is a warm and interesting family activity for parents and children to cook together. Children can not only learn a life skill, but also experience precious love from their parents’ bit by bit and patient teaching. When the whole family works together and tastes masterpieces together, the most relaxing time brings the distance between parents and children closer, and the most ordinary food can also taste real happiness. Teaching children to cook a few dishes is a survival skill and ordinary wisdom. When children understand our intentions, they understand that a good life comes from the ability to love life. Even if you cook carefully and eat well, your child\’s spiritual world will have unexpected peace and relaxation. The happiness of life lies in controlling every detail. Even if you buy fresh vegetables, the external surprise is not the inner satisfaction. Participate in a charity event with your child PediatricianZhang Silai once shared the story of his eldest grandson Mingming. Mingming has been held in the palm of his family since he was a child. He doesn\’t know what hardship is, let alone what it feels like to be poor. The family was worried that a comfortable life would spoil the child, so the son-in-law decided to take him to participate in charity activities. In remote mountainous areas, there are no high-rise buildings and delicacies, only a difficult life, the hardships of studying, and the yearning for the outside world… These unusual experiences have impacted Mingming\’s cognition and made the children understand \”gratitude and dedication.\” When we take our children to participate in charity activities, we create opportunities so that our children can see the same world and another side of life. There is a passage in \”The Notes of a Small Window\” that says: If people only compete with those who are not as good as me, then they will be content with themselves. When a child sees that many people are not living a happy life, it is easier for him to feel inner satisfaction. As parents, we hope that our children will have a high-level outlook on life, and we must guide them to understand that human value comes from dedication. The child understands that people should not only live for themselves, but also live for others. The more valuable he is to society, the richer his heart will be. The happiness of life lies in the flow of interpersonal relationships. When parents grow up, they should educate their children to be able to pretend to be others. Only then will the world of others be able to tolerate their children in the future. Teach children that loving others means loving yourself. This great love from parents will make children the ultimate beneficiaries. Perhaps parents don’t realize that our upbringing itself is the first pot of gold in a child’s life account. When parents give their children attention and love, the child\’s life background will have warmth. When parents guide their children to read and seek knowledge, their children will have faith in the laws of life. When parents teach their children the secrets of wealth, their children\’s desires in life will have a direction. When parents cultivate their children\’s hands-on skills, their children will have a love for life practice. When parents teach their children to help and give, their life pattern will be filled with gratitude. The pursuit of material things never ends, only inner wealth can allow the soul to reach the other side. There will be countless forks in a child\’s future, but only a rich heart can guide him in the direction he wants to go.
