Today I will tell you a little story.
My daughter was in her first year of high school, and because she didn't live in school, we were closer to school for our daughter, so we changed our home.
The home is just two stops away from the school, if it takes about 6 minutes by car, plus from home to the station where you get on the train, from the station where you get off to the school, the distance taken by these two sections is estimated to take 15 minutes.
But after our actual stepping point, before getting off the bus, there is a section of road that is stuck in traffic every morning, that is, you can see the station, but the bus door will not open, and it may take 5 to 10 minutes to block the car.
From home to school gate, the whole process takes about 20 to 25 minutes.
And the time of the traffic jam is only our estimate, but also full of uncertainty, if the traffic jam is long, the school time may not be guaranteed.
For athletes like her daughter, she feels that the two stops are actually very close, so this summer, she runs from home to school many times in the morning to find the best route to school and the time it takes.
Finally, the daughter chose the optimal route to school, and it would take her to walk at a medium speed of about 20 minutes, and if she walked fast, it would take about 15 minutes.
In other words, it takes her daughter 5 to 10 minutes less to walk to school than to take a car ride.
Not only taking into account the time, the daughter also mentioned to us the advantages of walking in the following 6 points.
1. Save money
If you take a bus or drive a car, you need to spend a few yuan every day to go back and forth, and you don't have to spend a penny to walk.
2. Exercise
After going to school, you can't go out to run, bike and do sports in the morning and evening like the holidays.
I walked to school and after school every morning and evening, and I just exercised.
3. Improve self-control
After exercise, the brain secretes dopamine, which makes people happier.
At the same time, the Games improve people's self-control and are more conducive to learning.
4, do not embarrass my driving skills
I have poor driving skills, drive slowly, if you add traffic jams, it really affects my daughter's school time, and it is most likely that she will not walk to school first.
5. Avoid parking difficulties
We moved to an old neighborhood, there are fewer parking spaces, drive the car out of the parking space for a while, it will be occupied by others.
Most likely, when I return from sending my daughter, there will be no parking space.
6, can make full use of time
Parents who read my article know that my daughter decided to stick with it for seven years, writing a review article and reading aloud every day, and also recording an audio in the Himalayas.
So when she left school at 8:30 p.m., I would pick her up when I was home, and my dad would pick her up when I was home.
On the way home, we can give her the phone and walk while completing the day's review article writing.
After arriving home, she can use a very short time to complete the article punch card, read the punch card and other content, so that she can learn and interest without mistakes!
After the comprehensive analysis, the daughter decided to walk to school and school every day.
When we find that walking to school has so many advantages, what reason is there to stop her from moving forward?
The main advantage of walking to school is that she found it herself, and the decision to walk to school was made by herself!
Believing that the child "can do it" and believing that the child can make the right choice is a subject for parents to learn.
