"Drink water for a while, go to the bathroom for a while, and only read a few pages in the morning?"
"Mom, that book is too thick, and it's boring to sit and read all the time!"
"Who is clamoring to buy it?" If you buy it, you have to read it to me! ”
"I don't want it after that!"
I wanted to urge him to read, but this was good, but my son actually picked a son and didn't read.
Before going to bed, the friend walked to his son's bedside, "Kai Kai, your mother shouldn't yell at you, but you can't stop reading because you bet with your mother!" ”
"Mom, in fact, I don't hate reading..." My son said embarrassedly, "but as soon as I read, I lost my mind." I think it's funny when I see the model, I want to play games when I see the tablet, even if I'm reading a story, I can't help but want to go out and play... It's just hard to calm down and read. ”
The sincerity of her friend's son made her suddenly realize how difficult it was for a child to focus on books for a long time. At this age, he was curious about everything, and it was really difficult for him to sit quietly at the table and read for two hours.
"So what to do, if you don't read, you will be left behind by other children."
"But I don't think I'm any different from them."
For a moment, my friend was dumbfounded, and he couldn't say what would be worse if he didn't read.
One day, her son came home from school, did not call "mother", put down his bag and went into the room, and asked him to eat.
"Kai kai, what's wrong?" Uncomfortable? The friend reached out and touched his forehead.
Her son pushed my hand down, "Mom, am I very uncultured?" He said with wide eyes, sincere and aggrieved.
The friend "poofed" and laughed out, "You are so young, do you know what is 'cultured'"?
"Coco is very cultured, and the teachers praise her!"
It turned out that the classmates discussed the "Tianlong Babu". Her son said that AjuaZi's name was so ugly. As a result, Coco was glanced at, and Coco said, "There is an idiom called 'Evil Purple Captures Zhu', which is very in line with the scene of the TV series." She happened to be heard by the teacher, and the teacher praised her as "very cultured."
Hey, it turns out that self-esteem hurts.
Although the matter is not serious, but it also sounded the alarm bell for me, the difference between reading or not reading is still very large, I don't know an idiom is small, and I can't talk to my classmates about a big thing. In the long run, language expression and interpersonal communication may be lacking.
Even if it is not so utilitarian, the children live in similar environments, but compared to her son, Coco obviously finds the world more interesting. An idiom makes children less interesting feelings, then how much happiness will be missing in this life.
Ever since I learned the real reason why my son couldn't read the book, my friend had been wondering what could be done to learn without having to concentrate for a long time.
At dinner that night, she pretended to ask him casually, "Kaikai, do you want to be as 'cultured' as Coco?"
"I think I don't want her to look down on her!" The son instantly pouted his small mouth, a stubborn face.
While his son was scrappy, she began to read him a book every day for the next week or so.
In more than twenty minutes, the explanation is thorough and interesting, with the sound effect of the content, the anchor's depression and frustration are well controlled, and the sense of scene substitution is also very strong. Not to mention children, even an adult listens to it with relish.
Some time ago, the company had more things to do, and I couldn't get home on time, and my son called me.
"Kaikai, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. Mom, when are you coming back to give me a book, and today you should listen to "Dear Sweet Orange Tree". ”
Friends were shocked, this little guy has never been on anything, even games, pinch ah.
Surprises are yet to come.
Yesterday, her son's aunt called me and said that Kai Kai was too smart to save her sister's life.
Here's the thing: Kai Kai was playing at his aunt's house, and an old man in the family watched two children. My sister said that her stomach hurt, and grandma felt that she had been hit by the wind, so she just covered it with hot water. But Kai Kai quickly walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and found the culprit - cold dishes. Immediately called my aunt and took my sister to the hospital. The test results are indeed gastrointestinal infections caused by bacteria.
When she got home in the evening, she asked her son, "Kai kai, how did you think of going to the refrigerator?" ”
"We didn't go out, how can we get the wind, that must be the problem of eating." "Adventures in the World of Bacteria" said that there are many bacteria in raw water, leftovers, and cold vegetables, and I think it may be a problem of bacteria. ”
At that moment, she felt that her son had grown up, and I couldn't help but sigh: learning more knowledge, even a little more, on some occasions, will help children make correct judgments.

I once saw a TED talk, "What The Man Who Doesn't Read Lose?"
The speaker mentioned that reading books from all over the world exposed her blind spots in seeing the world, opened her horizons, and became clearer in the conflict of values from different countries, different cultures and values.
Because I understand the vastness and diversity of the world, I am aware of my limitations and inadequacies, remain humble, and understand and tolerate different voices. It is precisely because of this that the doors of various regions, cultures, and lives will be open to you, and you can see a more comprehensive and richer world.
The same is true for children.
When they are young, books bring children mountains that their footsteps cannot reach, rivers that their hands cannot reach, and starry nights that their eyes cannot capture. As they grow older, they bring children an inclusive mindset, a humble personality, and the ability to think, which are the basis for them to enjoy culture, build three views and recognize the world.
Therefore, children who do not read will lose their correct understanding of the world and the wonderful world in their cognition.
Bai Yansong has a book called "Pain and Happiness". It talks about his experiences and insights in the 10 years from college to work. In the book, he mentions that in the difficult years of facing the ups and downs of work deployment after graduation, it was reading that supported him all the way.
In a speech on the theme of "Reading is Poetry and Far Away", he said: "If I hadn't been 18 years old, poetry had let me know what kind of words I should say. If it weren't for the 18-year-old, Sanmao used her series of books with love to tell us where the distance is, and I felt that I couldn't resist hunger. ”
Books are to the spirit, just as food is to the body, it is an indispensable nutrient for a person. Children who do not read lose a kind of spiritual energy, and as your experience increases, your experience becomes deeper and deeper: lack of this energy, lack of stamina in life.
Ninety-nine percent of the people who stand at the top of the pyramid have the habit of reading.
Pascal, the most genius philosopher in France, once said that man is nothing but a reed, the most fragile thing in nature; but he is a thinking reed.
People who love to read will continue to enrich their brains, build thinking ability, and cultivate independent personality in reading. Through thinking and building ability, you can experience life elsewhere, living 100 times in the language and writing, or even 1000 times, while children who do not read can only live once, losing their own sound brains and rich lives.

Parents have three things to do early in their lives, one of which is to educate their children.
Applied psychology research at the University of Toronto has found that the stronger the reading ability in the enlightenment stage, the stronger the child's subsequent learning ability.
Taking advantage of children's critical periods will make them more effective on the road to learning; conversely, it may cause children's long-term reading disabilities and learning problems.

"I'm fully engaged in teaching my kids because I know,
In these short years, I will have a lifelong impact on my children.
I don't waste a minute or a second, I treat them like my own children,
And see yourself as a teacher and a parent, not just a teacher! ”
