A true academic genius not only has excellent grades, but also possesses comprehensive thinking abilities and a resilient personality.
The core concept of education, which is the cultivation of thinking ability, is far more important than simply imparting knowledge.
Dad is reading the original: Snowman Hey, I’m Koken. On the long road of education, our companionship and dedication are like a gentle stream, silently nourishing every step of children’s growth.
From childhood to university, children have witnessed countless days and nights of hard work over decades.
I believe we have also experienced the transformation process of children from ignorance to maturity.
Every choice, every guidance, deeply influences a child’s future. Today, the content I want to share with you is that as a mother who has been raising children for 13 years, she has come into contact with many families with children and shared her insights.
How to find a suitable path for their children in the complex and varied educational methods is a question that every parent needs to ponder deeply.
What can truly create a “perfect academic genius” is not only excellent academic performance, but also comprehensive cultivation of thinking ability and healthy development of personality.
Decades, sometimes seem to pass in a flash. In her words, since the child entered junior high school, their hard work gradually showed results, as if a light boat had crossed thousands of mountains.
From her perspective, family education can be roughly divided into the following types: 1 Going with the flow: When seeing others participate in a competition, the child also follows suit; Others study physics and demand that their children also study physics, without considering their interests and adaptability.
In the end, the child neither learned any subject well nor endured immense pressure. 2. The step-by-step approach mainly involves imparting subject knowledge through extensive practice, or sending children to various training institutions.
But the child did not grasp the core of learning, only knowing what it was and not knowing why, ultimately resulting in a false impression of good grades.
In primary and junior high school, one may appear to perform well, but often problems are exposed in high school.
3. Personalized thinking is a method that she strongly identifies with and has been practicing. Tailor educational plans based on the child’s personality, abilities, and traits.
To achieve excellent grades in children, the first step is to cultivate their thinking ability. Once the thinking ability is formed, children will have a complete knowledge system and self-learning ability, and their learning potential and momentum will also be greater.
This is also the fundamental reason why children become academic overachievers. Only by delving into specific implementation paths can parents ensure that each step effectively promotes their children’s cognitive development and overall ability enhancement.
These methods not only focus on imparting knowledge, but also emphasize the cultivation of thinking patterns and the exercise of practical application abilities.
By using systematic and targeted strategies with care and time, we can build a solid learning foundation for children, enabling them to excel in various subject areas.
1. When the child is very young in the parent-child reading stage, she takes the child for parent-child reading, not just reading stories to him.
After reading, let’s read picture books and engage in situational memory. Then guide the child to retell the story in language.
When retelling for the first time, do not interrupt, just listen. Afterwards, correct the child’s grammar, logic, and vocabulary usage when making sentences.
Next, she will ask him to read and recognize words. Benefit: Children can concretize abstract concepts when learning any complex subject, greatly improving learning efficiency.
2. After the completion of parent-child reading during the independent reading stage, the child begins to read written books independently and is still required to paraphrase after reading them.
Children will be happy about this and enjoy telling children about it. During the storytelling process, she will inspire him to incorporate some of his own insights, which may be his own insights, or from other books, or from what they have taught him.
Simply put, it not only possesses the ability to retell, but also cultivates the ability to summarize and understand, and the information is reprocessed.
Benefit: When a child has the ability to spontaneously expand their knowledge base, from oral to written, their writing skills are also improved.
3. When cultivating mathematical thinking, first explain example problems to help him understand typical themes.
Then guide him to break down the example problems on his own and explore different solutions. Benefits: Reduce fatigue from practicing problems, enhance the ability to draw analogies, stimulate interest in exploration, derive enjoyment from solving difficult problems through different methods, and boost children’s confidence.
4. When reading the story of Troy through interdisciplinary integration, she will extend and explain geographical knowledge, introducing Greece to the west of the Aegean Sea and Troy to the east.
Describing the historical background of the Trojan War and the situation of neighboring countries, it will also extend to literature, such as Homer’s “Iliad” and “Odyssey”.
At the same time, introduce the dynasties and events that occurred in China that year. In this way, the three disciplines of geography, history, and Chinese will be integrated and connected.
Benefit: With increasingly efficient thinking, knowledge from different fields can gradually be organically connected.
By cultivating children’s thinking abilities through these paths, they can become more confident and efficient in their learning journey, ultimately becoming the perfect academic overachiever in the eyes of others.
At the end, cultivating children’s thinking ability is not only to cope with academic challenges, but also to give them wisdom and courage to face the complex world of the future.
In this era, only with a solid foundation of thinking and the ability to continue learning can children soar freely in unknown fields.
As us, we are not only transmitters of knowledge, but also guides for children’s cognitive growth. May every reader and friend discover their unique potential, inspire their infinite possibilities, and together embrace a better future while accompanying their children’s growth.

Practical wisdom is better than empty talk. Father’s cognitive awakening is recommended reading. When we take life resilience as an example, it is the virtuous cycle of education.
