My cousin's grandchildren have been academic bullies since childhood, and they have won awards and scholarships, one has been admitted to Tsinghua University, the other has studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and every time the family gathers, they will always hear the voice of everyone's envy.
It is said that it is easy to spoil children with children in different generations, cousins with grandchildren, not only do not spoil children, children not only have good academic performance, but also understand people's feelings, be sincere and humble, and are deeply loved by their elders.
Everyone always asked their cousins: "How to teach in the end to teach such a great child?" ”
My cousin smiled and replied, "I'm an old woman, I don't have much culture, I don't know how to educate, I just teach what my parents taught me, and then teach the children." ”
1 pair of chopsticks to teach children etiquette
"Using chopsticks is the most taboo three long and two short, and you can't put chopsticks on the table with uneven length, which is unlucky." You can't eat, you can't turn over dishes, you can't beat dishes with chopsticks... These are taboos at the dinner table and are very impolite behavior. ”
My cousin taught children table manners from an early age, and sometimes when she saw children using chopsticks to pick and choose between plates, they hit the chopsticks.
At first, the cousin felt that the cousin was too strict, and the child was still too young to understand, and then when she saw the children eating at the table in a regular manner, everyone praised, and then she understood the cousin's good intentions.
The seemingly simple and extremely small details of the mouth and the dishes are the manifestations of a person's upbringing. When children are 4 or 5 years old, they pick and turn dishes on the table, everyone may laugh and pass, and when they still do this when they are 20 years old, then everyone will feel that they have no tutoring, and their parents have not been well educated.
The cousin used a pair of chopsticks to teach the children table manners, teach them the courtesy and rules that they should have in the world, be polite and educated, and the people who get along with them feel very comfortable, the children have high emotional intelligence, and there are many friends.
2 crafts to discover children's interests
Cousin likes to make wine, every year will use the traditional method, brew some glutinous rice wine to distribute to relatives and friends, steam glutinous rice, put wine koji, fermentation, glutinous rice brewed wine, grandson feels very magical, often with grandma to make wine.
"Why does glutinous rice have to be steamed to make wine?" Why does koji become wine when you put it in? What is koji? ”
The cousin told his grandson what he knew, and if he didn't know, he let him go to the book to find the answer. Sun Tzu became more and more interested in microorganisms, and was later admitted to Tsinghua University to study biology.
And the granddaughter grew up with her grandmother to cut paper, the hand is particularly clever, like to cut and cut, the child with strong hands-on ability, is also particularly smart, and now she is reading clothing design at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and the design works are often awarded.
Although her cousin's 2 crafts are very common and almost everyone in her hometown knows them, she lets the children find their own interests in them, and thus find the goal they strive for.
