There are many ways for parents to express their love for their children, but what children want most is the companionship of their parents, what children want is not expensive gifts, not the latest version of toys, children just want to have the care and companionship of parents and mothers, and it is a family sitting around and eating happily. In fact, education is a very simple thing, as long as there is love is the best way for parents to give their children.
Love is high-quality companionship, it is to care about each other's emotional feelings, and it is to meet each other's reasonable needs. American educator Sally Lewis wrote in Awakening Children's Talents: "Two years ago, someone studied what factors contributed to children scoring high on the learning ability test. IQ, social conditions, and economic status are all less important than a more subtle factor, that is, all children who score high regularly eat dinner with their parents. ”
A six-year-old boy said: "My parents are always very busy, usually I eat alone, occasionally the family sits together to eat, my parents are also holding their mobile phones to deal with work, there is no time to listen to me talk about school, I just want to have a good meal with my parents and tell them about what happened today." The child's words sound very sad.
Why should educators argue that families should always get together for dinner? This is not only because eating with the family is the wish of every child who looks forward to the company of mom and dad, but also because table dialogue is the best way to educate the child's mind.
The family sits around and eats together, the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, everyone can talk about the interesting things that happened today, what feelings they have, or chat together, children can feel happy and safe from this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and they can also learn more about things they don't know from the talk of parents and have more knowledge and understanding of family and society.
The pace of life has accelerated, people are busy with work, socializing, socializing, ignoring the feelings of family and children, making it a luxury to accompany children and family dinners. A writer once said, "People who love each other are going to eat together and eat a lot of meals." "To love a child is to let the child feel love and warmth in these small things in daily life, and these ordinary but warm memories will become the most precious treasures in the child's life."
Every table conversation does not necessarily have to be educational, parents can also say some happy but meaningless things to their children, educate the child's soul, the content is not important, the atmosphere is the most important, and the atmosphere of joy, ease and love between family members is the best nourishment for the child's soul.
