It is difficult to give birth, but it is even harder to raise a child. If you spoil a child too much, they will become spoiled. If you are too strict, they will be psychologically affected and find it difficult to connect with others. So how do you find the balance between being strict and being indulgent?
Let the child participate in household chores from a young age.
Every parent wants the best life for their child. But when parents spoil their children too much, they tend to do everything for them and prevent them from getting involved in any household tasks. This is a big mistake.
We all remember the story of the 17-year-old prodigy Wei Yong Khang, who was admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences with excellent results before finishing high school.
In theory, students who achieve such high results will be partners in the main training course of the school. However, prodigy Wei Yong Khang was expelled before obtaining his degree because of his poor self-care skills.
His mother raised him to be “an academic genius but stunted in life skills.”
According to his mother, she believed that her son only needed to excel in academics to have a bright future. As a result, she didn’t do any household chores.
As a result, this prodigy learned 1000 Chinese characters at the age of 2, finished primary school at the age of 4, passed the entrance exam for a prestigious high school at the age of 8, was accepted into the Physics Department of Tương Đàm University at the age of 13, and later entered the Advanced Physics Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
However, his mother quit her job, rented a separate house, and took care of her son’s every need from cooking to bathing and even bringing him a potty when he needed it.
Only when he started studying at the Academy of Sciences, without his mother by his side, did the life of this 17-year-old prodigy become messy and lacking discipline.
During the winter, he didn’t know how to dress warmly because no one reminded him. He couldn’t take care of his personal hygiene, and even received a zero mark for forgetting to submit his graduation thesis because no one reminded him. Eventually, he was forced to leave school because he couldn’t adapt to the academic life there.
Nobel laureate in Physics and U.S. Secretary of Energy Zhu Yiwen once said, “It’s hard to imagine that children who only study and don’t know how to fry or boil eggs can do experiments.”
The ultimate purpose of education is to give children a better life. Therefore, parents need to teach their children how to do household chores and take care of themselves.
Through doing chores, children will learn many life lessons and develop qualities and skills that they can use throughout their lives.
Teach the child to take responsibility.
Parents need to teach their children to take responsibility for their mistakes.
Right after the child makes a mistake is the perfect time to educate them. If parents can educate their children at this time, they will surely become better and better.
There is a story about when President Reagan was a child, he collected some banned fireworks and was caught distributing them. He was arrested by the police and had to pay a fine of $12.5. At that time, one dollar could buy 10 laying hens, equivalent to 125 hens. This was a large sum of money, and Reagan couldn’t afford it.
His father knew about it, but instead of scolding or hitting him, he said to Reagan, “The family has money, but this time I can’t give it to you. You have to take responsibility for your mistake. I will lend you $12.5, but it must be paid back after a year.” To repay his father, Reagan worked hard outside school hours to earn money. After more than half a year of hard work, Reagan finally earned $12.5 and proudly handed it to his father.
His father patted him on the shoulder, saying, “A man who can take responsibility for his mistakes will be rewarded in the future.” Later, Reagan became president and wrote in his memoir about the question: What does it mean to take responsibility for one’s mistakes?
When a child makes a mistake, let them bear the consequences and increase the cost of their mistakes.
When they are young, children cannot distinguish right from wrong, and it is up to parents to teach them.
Encourage the child to study diligently.
Studying and reading a lot is not the only way out for ordinary people, but it is certainly the best way if you want to be rich and have a place.
As parents, you have a responsibility to your children’s future. From a young age, parents need to be strict with their children’s studies and encourage them to study diligently. Only through education can you nurture your child with a beautiful soul and provide a solid foundation for their future.
