love
Dad is American, mom is Chinese, born in 2003 in San Francisco, USA, Gu Ailing, from a young age to show a talent for skiing, more than 3 years old began to contact skiing, at the age of 4 has been able to freely shuttle through the coniferous forest, and even complete the cat jump such a professional action.
When she was 8 years old, the ski school no longer accepted her as a student, and suggested that her mother send Gu Ailing to a professional ski team to study, so her mother Gu Yan sent her to the professional ski team in the Lake Tahoe area and became the only girl in the team at that time.
After joining the professional ski team, her mother did not let Gu Ailing give up her studies, but let her train and compete while attending full-time school. In order to take care of both academics and skiing, Gu Ailing learned how to allocate time from a young age, because of full-time school, others have 5 days to train skiing, while Gu Ailing only has 2 days to train on weekends, in order to catch up with others, on the way to driving to practice skiing on weekends, Gu Ailing has become accustomed to completing a series of identity conversion actions in the car, "From home to the ski field of Lake Tahoe, there is a 4-hour drive, I learned to write homework in the car, sleep in the car, change clothes in the car, and eat in the car." ”
Although the life of running at both ends is very hard, Gu Ailing did not give up and shrink back.
Yusheng Yuxian suffered from asthma when he was very young, and some of the simple exercises of others, in Yusheng Yusheng, will make himself breathless, coughing at night and unable to lie down and fall asleep. To cure his asthma, his mother asked him to go skating with his sister because it was less likely to inhale dust in the ice rink.
No one thought that because of asthma, yusheng who entered the ice rink skating string, this skating, skating for more than ten years, became "one of the world's famous figure skaters".
When I was a child, although I liked the feeling of being in the stadium, after all, I was a child, the maturity was not enough, and the boring training and long-term practice could easily make people bored.
"My friends are playing, and I'm still practicing."
Although the training process was very hard, but then I thought clearly, or chose to stick to it, "I don't want to give in here, I worked so hard to get here..."
Letting go and respecting
Skiing is a very injurious sport, and Gu Ailing once fell into a concussion during training.
Her mother had lobbied her to give up because she was worried about Gu Ailing's injury, but in her own educational philosophy, children should pursue what they are interested in, and skiing is something that Gu Ailing is very keen to participate in, and then later saw Gu Ailing insisting on training skiing, although her heart is worried, she still chose to support Gu Ailing in action and become the strongest backing behind her daughter.
When asked how to raise such an excellent daughter, Gu Ailing's mother said: "Don't correct children's typos, don't discourage children's creativity; praise them less for their intelligence, more praise for their efforts." I did just that. ”
When faced with the child's love for something, Gu Ailing's mother did not deprive the child of what she liked to achieve the purpose of protection through strong control, but chose to respect the child's decision, and do what they rely on behind, with a letting go posture to promote the child's growth and help them become a better self.
In addition to skiing, in academics, Gu Ailing's mother also respects her child's choice.
Gu Ailing felt that he "must go to Stanford!" ”
But Gu Ailing's mother said: "She (Gu Ailing) said that for example, his father graduated from Harvard, I graduated from Stanford, so she felt that I had to go to Stanford." I told her you don't have to go to Stanford, but it's more important that you never give up studying for the rest of your life. ”
Do not impose their own ideas on children, but pay more attention to the child's own interests, through the child's back support, to help them achieve their goals, which may be the reason why Gu Ailing can become a genius girl, "other people's children".
Coincidentally, Yu Yu's parents also respect their children's decisions quite much, and although they will be worried when they see him scarred, they have never interfered with his arrangements in practice.
When Yusei couldn't hold on, his parents didn't force him to keep sliding. His father only hoped that he could consider playing baseball because "playing baseball costs less", while his mother hoped that he would not fall behind while sticking to his hobby, and would urge him to bring his textbooks with him when he went out to play. Later, when Yusheng Yushin himself figured it out again and wanted to continue on the road of figure skating, his parents did not object, and whether Yusheng Yusheng insisted or not, they would continue to support him as always.
Yusheng's parents never force their children to do things they don't like, they attach great importance to their children's "likes or dislikes", "want to do it or not", if the child has made a choice, as a parent, they will only do their best to help him achieve his goals.
When Yusei first started competing, his costumes were sewn by his mother, who had never learned to be a tailor, stitch by stitch, and this set of colorful clothes supported his victories in competitions again and again.
In order to pursue better training results, Yu yu's mother accompanied him to Visit the Master in Toronto, Canada, to improve his training level. In order to let Yusheng knot string focus on training, there is no worries, the mother also consulted with experts to develop a special diet plan, so that Yu Sheng knot can fully replenish energy after training and quickly recover physical fitness.
Yu Yu can go from an ignorant teenager to a world champion, in fact, it is inseparable from a good family education. An ordinary family with a low income, not anxious, not chicken, relying on the timely letting go of the child and full support, raised a tough and powerful "ice prince", becoming the most powerful force behind the success of Yusheng's string.
As the famous Greek philosopher Plato said, "The education a person receives from an early age leads him to where he goes, which can determine where he goes later", a good education is not to impose his own ideas and opinions on children, but to make them a better self.
