On February 8, Chinese athlete Gu Ailing stormed the freestyle ski women's big jump event at the Winter Olympics and successfully won the championship.
In this year's Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing has always been the focus of the attention of the people of the whole country, born in San Francisco in 2003, she is not only a "talented ski girl" who has achieved success as a teenager, but also a proper school bully.
He was exposed to skiing at the age of 3 and won the championship of the National Freestyle Ski Junior Group at the age of 9;
Became a world champion at the age of 15 and is now 18 with 15 gold medals;
At the age of 16, he officially changed his Chinese nationality, and at the age of 17, he was admitted to the famous Stanford school with a 20-point difference in the "American College Entrance Examination" SAT score, and was selected into the Forbes "30 Under 30 Elite List".
This Chinese girl, who is now only 18 years old, is praised by netizens as "a genius girl who opens her life" and "the heroine of a fantasy novel", and carefully observe her growth experience, "Gu Mama"'s education method, there are really many places that we ordinary parents can learn from.
Interest is the teacher, love is the driving force
Gu Ailing's mother, "Gu Yan", studied at Peking University in her early years and was a member of the Peking University short track speed skating team and also worked as a ski instructor.
It is because of This experience of Gu's mother that Gu Ailing has been exposed to skiing since she was 3 years old and fell in love with the sport.
Gu's mother also told the media bluntly: the reason why her daughter loves skiing has a lot to do with her own preferences.
It is not difficult for children to show interest in something, but it is difficult to cultivate interest and continue to develop. Gu's mother behaved more rationally and intelligently than most people in this regard, and she guided her daughter openly.
After discovering her daughter's ski talent, Gu's mother did not force her daughter to develop in a professional direction, but simply encouraged and respected her daughter's choice, and also guided Gu Ailing to broaden more branches of her life, such as running, piano, fashion fields, etc., so that Gu Ailing's talent was best tapped, and she could better enjoy the fun brought by skiing.
Some parents originally wanted to hope that their children would become dragons and their daughters would become phoenixes, and they wanted their children to spend all their energy on a certain aspect and create a specialty to become a "rice bowl" in their future lives. For example, many children are forced by their parents to practice piano, sports, and dance, but they ignore the children's cognitive laws, but destroy the children's original interests, so that the scene of "hurting Zhongyong" is still staged in modern times, and Gu's mother's education method for Gu Ailing is worth our careful taste and learning.
Long-term planning for your child's future
In the process of Gu Ailing's growth, her mother has always consciously helped her set goals, and Gu Ailing said in an interview at the age of 12 that she would become a world champion in the future.

Professional skiers need 5 days of training a week, but before 2021, because Gu Ailing usually has to go to school, only two days of the weekend can be trained every week.
Under the coordination of Gu's mother, Gu Ailing learned to use all her free time, such as completing her homework on the way to the snow field, saving time by eating lunch on the cable car, and maximizing the use of every minute under the premise of ensuring energy.
In addition, for Gu Ailing's study, Gu's mother's planning is also extremely organized.
Due to the baptism of the two education systems in China and the United States, Gu Mother knows well the superiority of China in exam-oriented education and Olympic mathematics education, Gu Ailing spends 30% of her time in China every year to learn the knowledge of Olympic mathematics, perhaps it is precisely because of this that Gu Ailing can graduate from high school a year in advance and enter Stanford University with a high score of 1580.
Full of love for life and give children the greatest sense of security
Although living in a single-parent family, Gu Ailing does not have any personality defects, the external image has always been positive and positive, observing her social media, it has always been full of positive energy, and this is inextricably linked to Gu's mother's attitude towards life.
In many interviews, Gu Ailing spared no effort to praise her mother, expressing her admiration for her mother, and bluntly said that "my mother is better than everyone's mother."
Some people may question this, the living conditions are rich, the daughter is so outstanding, gu mother to maintain a positive life, is not a matter of course?
Of course, this is not the case, to know that Gu's mother is working Wall Street in the United States, raising her daughter alone, how can she not have the pressure of life?
In the final analysis, it is just that she did not vent her negative energy to the child, but had extraordinary emotional control ability, and she has always maintained her love for life in front of her daughter, which has given Gu Ailing an unparalleled sense of security.
Under the influence of her mother, Gu Ailing always has the most positive attitude towards skiing, learning and life, and enjoys the process of chasing her dreams.
