Ordinary families all hope that the next generation will get ahead; the elite also hope that the next generation will be blue; but when people reach middle age, they do not understand themselves, where should children go? What kind of education can we give our children from our own experience?
Regarding family education, I believe that many parents have a lot of doubts, such as: how to communicate benignly with their children? How to tap into your child's interests? If the mothers also have the above problems, TEACHER PP recommends a documentary to everyone - "Life Grows".
The first season of the documentary explores the topic of what constitutes a good education through conversations with nine education practitioners about key moments in their children's development.

Cai Zhizhong — Find your favorite path
Cai Zhizhong: Became a professional cartoonist at the age of 15, and has authored more than 100 works such as "Zhuangzi Said", with global sales of 40 million copies. Won the Golden Horse Award for Best Cartoon and the Golden Comic Award for Lifetime Achievement.
My daughter grew up learning to play the flute and also to learn the piano.
On Sunday I would take her to the Chinese Daily to learn piano, and then she would be like this, "Hum Hum."
I said, "What's wrong?" ”
She said, "Don't want to go."
I said, "If you don't want to go, don't go!" ”
Then he took her to the zoo.
Be sure to learn to dig into your child's interests and let her try a variety of interest classes so that you can discover what she's best at, set off early, and then cultivate in that direction.
When my daughter was two and a half years old, I started asking her, what do you want to do when you grow up? She said that she must not be a cartoonist, because every day I stay in the study, stay for a long time, and life is too boring.
I said, so what "home" do you want to be? She was excited to say designer. Naturally, I didn't miss this opportunity, so I started with her topic. What do you want to design? She said a lot, such as clothes, painting clothes, painting all kinds of beautiful things.
Parents say that you can succeed with hard work, which in my opinion is a white lie. Because many times, it is not enough to have effort, but also to have interest and ideas. When we choose a path we like, even at boring times, there will be motivation to guide us forward and thus to succeed.

Peng Kaiping – True happiness is meaningful happiness
Peng Kaiping: Member of the Scientific Leadership Group of the American Psychological Association, tenured professor in Berkeley, California, USA, winner of the Tsinghua MOOC Most Popular Course Award, and the Tsinghua EMBA Best Teaching Award for many years.
Today's children, almost all of the content they learn in school, is the foundation for the future of work. This kind of thinking leads to them not being able to live well after graduation, and life is only for work.
It is precisely because of the lack of thinking about work and life that the happiness of life is generally low. Therefore, we need to carry out the transformation of concepts, to choose the work we love to do, meaningful work, so that our lives can be full of happiness.
Everyone craves happiness and happiness in life, but the concepts of the two are not the same.
People's happiness is affected by dopamine, serotonin, etc., which produces pleasant feelings, which is short-lived. Happiness is different, it is a perception of the overall state of life, a synthesis of happiness in life, and it is also full of meaning. Therefore, happiness is meaningful happiness, and happiness + sense of meaning is the real happiness.

Uncle Kai: The focus of education is "not to focus"
Wang Kai: Former CCTV host, dubbing master, a new generation of "story kings", published dozens of original and adapted children's books.
For children, growth is not a point of need. What they want is to constantly discover new joys in the process of growing up, and at the same time grow with growth.
A good story can serve as such a tool, allowing children to experience a different life in the story scene, while obtaining satisfaction and pleasure.
In a familiar or unfamiliar world of stories, meet different cultures, discover different people, and look for things that relax the mind. After that, in addition to gaining knowledge, the children also built a solid foundation for future character development and value shaping.
If the child often listens to some confrontational stories, black and white. Then the child's personality will develop in this direction, and the future growth process will be relatively extreme.
If the child listens to stories that are more inclusive and well-intentioned competition, then he will understand that even opposing sides can coexist peacefully. If a child thinks this way from an early age, his life will be wrapped in happiness.
Children's education, I think, is more important than "not focusing". So that children do not feel educated, is a good education, so we must go straight to this direction of effort.
In the process of storytelling, focus on analyzing that sentence, which complex is beneficial to the child, there is a lot of learning, but also will affect the growth of the child.
"I have no need for my growth, I have a need for my happiness", this is the true meaning of child growth.
