Chapter 7 Genius and Education

Dr. Ding Zhaozhong, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, gave a special lecture at National Taiwan University on February 11th. A 12-year-old junior high school student, Yang Poyin, asked the most questions. Quite deep, attracting everyone's attention.Dr. Ding also thought that the questions asked by Yang Xiaodi were very good, and he answered carefully, and said that Yang Xiaodi would be a promising talent in the future. Yang Xiaodi stood out and was immediately praised as a child prodigy.However, his father, Professor Yang Weizhe, does not think his son is a genius, but believes that many children are very smart nowadays, as long as their parents educate them properly, they will become smart.

As for how to teach children?Professor Yang thinks it is very simple. Parents should read more books for their children and spend more time discussing knowledge with their children, which will benefit the children. From this, everyone can get an understanding. Apart from the fact that Yang Xiaodi's father is a professor of the Department of Mathematics of National Taiwan University, he has a better learning environment. Parents should read more books for their children, which is the best for their children. Educational methods.This should be an easy thing for ordinary parents to do, and it is worth pondering.

We often see that some parents are willing to spend money on buying toys, new clothes, and candy for their children, and even often give their children a lot of pocket money to spend, but they seldom buy some useful books for their children to read.That will not only spoil the child's living habits, but also virtually make the child's mind uninspired.This is what Professor Yang pointed out, because parents' improper education methods for children make children less intelligent. But I believe that every parent does not want their children to become useful.It's just that some parents, because they are busy with their careers and family, or neglect to guide them because they don't understand educational methods, rely on schools for the effectiveness of education, which is really not enough.Seriously speaking, school education must also be coordinated with family education, so that children's minds and morals can achieve a comprehensive and balanced development.In some respects, parents are more responsible and effective in family education for their children's moral character than schools.

The so-called genius is indeed precious, but if the parents neglect the education methods for their children, so that the child's genius will not be able to be brought out, what a pity! All in all, parents should buy more high-quality books for their children and induce their children's interest in reading more, which is definitely beneficial.As for some parents who sit at the poker table and only care about their own entertainment and feel that their children are noisy, so they give money to go out to play, it is even more of a wait-and-see approach.
