What is the most important thing in primary school?

As the child enters second grade, their workload increases significantly, and doing homework every day becomes the most headache inducing problem.

Then I started thinking about a question: What is the most important thing in elementary school. I think it’s still interest, the interest in knowledge and continuous learning.

That is to say, parents need to protect their thirst for knowledge and curiosity. This thing is really best preserved only in childhood.

Because he has not yet been socialized and his heart has not been contaminated by too many things, I think childhood is the best time to preserve curiosity.

But I think that our current education is taking an anti childhood action, which is destroying children’s childlike innocence.

Duckweed learning, forcing children with knowledge that they are not interested in, and allowing them to understand the world with only one perspective, are all destroying their childlike innocence.

Without childlike innocence, people lose their curiosity and thirst for knowledge. So I think that whether it’s school education or homework done at home, these things are against children’s nature.

He is naturally averse to these things, but he has no choice but to procrastinate and not do them. Dragging on without doing is actually suppressing one’s nature.

It is impossible to eliminate the suppression or develop one’s nature, and he is stuck in a motionless and rigid state.

Teachers and parents always force him to learn some knowledge, although on the one hand he will accumulate some fragmented knowledge that we can see, but on the level that we cannot see, it is actually causing destruction.

Especially when we want to give our children grades, it is actually the most destructive time for their childlike innocence.

How to maintain a child’s childlike innocence. In fact, it’s about reading more books, children’s books, imaginative and bizarre storybooks, and letting him play to his heart’s content.

Look at very young children, those who haven’t gone to school yet. When they see a lot of things, they feel so surprised and happy.

Then you tell them what it is, and they understand. They will feel so satisfied and happy. This is the thirst for knowledge.

I think this is the foundation that can support a person to study hard and ultimately achieve success.

If we ignore this thing, I think it’s really not worth the loss. We always hope that our children will be different, but our education methods and paths are the same as most people’s.

How can our children be different from others in the end. If you want your child to excel, the prerequisite is not to follow the path of the masses.

We need to explore a path that is unique to ourselves and our children. This path is definitely different from others’, so we cannot seek recognition from others on this path.

We need to be mentally prepared for this. For example, when it comes to doing homework, if you can genuinely feel that it’s not important, you can do it for him and let him play.

The playability of children is very important. They will learn some unexpected things from a large number of seemingly meaningless play processes, which are the life lessons that they spontaneously understand after exploring alone, that is, the joy of active exploration.

But this thing is almost being erased by our exam oriented education. School education emphasizes rote learning, which means whether you like it or not, you have to learn the knowledge I have provided you with.

The thirst for knowledge that can be actively explored is really important for a person, and it is crucial for their lifelong development.

Especially in today’s highly competitive society, we don’t know what we want or what our children want.

The overall environment says this thing is important, so we quickly dive in and chase after it; The teacher (school) said that this thing is important, for example, exam results are very important, so we rushed in and chased after the exam results.

In fact, we have deviated far from our original aspirations. So, at this point, parents need to have a clear and calm mind.

What do we think is most suitable for our children. This requires careful observation by oneself. Of course, even if you find the right path for yourself and your child, it takes courage and bravery to persevere.

When I don’t follow the crowd and walk alone on a path, most people are different from me. I say my opinion, and others say, ‘No, you shouldn’t do this.

What should you do. ‘ Can we still stick to our own ideas. How many people can still hold onto their own views when others deny us.

So if you want to take a unique path and give your child a different life in the future, then don’t seek ‘harmony’, right.

When we dare to walk on this unique path, children also dare to live their own lives. If we dare not even try ourselves, then the child will have to follow the same pattern, and we cannot expect them to surpass themselves or others in the future, because the way we educate them will not surpass others.

So how to educate children and give them an appropriate childhood is really a compulsory subject for parents.

Not all children love to learn the knowledge taught in school, and different children should be treated differently.

But no matter what, a child’s childlike innocence (thirst for knowledge/curiosity) should really be valued enough, and it cannot be overemphasized or protected.

And the care of childlike innocence requires us to tirelessly and explore in a unique way. This road is not easy to take, but I think it’s worth it.
