The headmaster of Thanh Hoa University (China) once gave advice: “If children are bored of studying, unwilling to study, take them to three places that will be more effective than scolding them.”
1. Take children to the streets at 3 or 4 in the morning
This is the time when almost the whole world has sunk deep into sleep, but there are still many people who have to wake up very early to make a living, earn a living, or there are those who can only finish work at that time to go home.
When you step out on the street at 3 to 4 in the morning, you often encounter situations like:
– 3:30 am: The truck driver is tired and takes the opportunity to transport concrete and steel on the street.
– 4 am: The noodle seller is hurriedly preparing a pot of broth to serve breakfast to customers.
– 4:30 am: The exhausted doctor has just finished continuous 12-hour surgeries, dragging his tired body out of the hospital gate.
– 5 am: Sanitation workers have started coming down the street to clean up.

When children witness these scenes, they will realize that when they complain about studying, there are always people who are more tired than them, ten or a hundred times. From there, they will have more motivation to study hard.
2. Take children to train stations and airports
When children don’t want to study, take them to train stations and airports to experience it. At train stations, children can feel the tiredness of life. This is a crowded place with many people from different circumstances, mostly people from the middle and lower classes.
They hurriedly carry big and small bags, with expectant faces. This place is hot, smoky, with the lingering smell of sweat…
At the airport, children will see a contrasting scene: People moving in the airport are mostly educated people, wealthy, well-dressed. The scene at the airport also rarely has scenes of crowding, pushing and the stench of sweat.

Those who are better off will go by plane, and vice versa. Although means of transportation cannot prove or measure a person’s success, let the children see and feel it to draw their own perspectives.
Which one do children want to become among them, want to exist at the train station or the airport? The decision is up to the children. They will think and know what they need to do.
Encourage children to study hard, teach them that their current efforts will help them have a better life in the future.
Take children to poor mountainous areas
Children born in mountainous areas often lack material conditions: no good food, nice clothes, no internet, no means of going to school… After work, they have to help their parents take care of the cattle, weed, climb over hills, cross streams…

But mountainous children will never complain because they know that studying is the only way to escape poverty, change their fate.
Therefore, if possible, parents should take their children to poor mountainous areas, let them get in touch and make friends with these hardworking children. At the same time, explain to them that despite being poor, these children still study and work hard. Then compare it with the abundant living conditions that the children currently have.
And finally, parents should teach their children that a bamboo tree takes 4 years to grow 3 cm, but from the 5th year, it develops rapidly at a rate of 30 cm per day, and it takes only 6 weeks to grow to 15 meters.
In fact, 4 years ago, the bamboo roots had stretched hundreds of square meters in the ground.
