Perhaps, you have been confused. In this rapidly changing era, can children's education now keep up with the development of the future society? What competitiveness will they have in 20 years?
Bian Xiao first takes you to analyze three sets of data to see the prediction of the famous child psychologist Lan Hai on the future.
The first group is 20 and 47%. In other words, 47% of the current jobs will disappear in 20 years, and nearly half of them will be unemployed.
The second group is 20 and 65%. In 20 years, there may be 65% jobs that we don't know now.
The third group is 45% and 55%. It means that when everyone enters the workplace, only 45% of the comprehensive ability actually used or evaluated comes from the results of school study, which can be tested by standardized methods; The remaining 55% are other basic abilities we have, including the ability to think independently, the ability to communicate and express, and the ability to know ourselves.
Then, in the face of the ever-changing world, what kind of children can remain competitive after 20 years?
0 1
A child curious about new things.
Every child is full of curiosity about this unknown world from birth and always wants to find out. This is what the scientific community often calls the scientific spirit. However, isn't this ability born to children?
"Don't ask questions" and "Don't move". Have you told your children anything similar? If there is, this is probably the "killer" of curiosity and exploration spirit in the process of children's growth.
Zhang Kan, an academician of the Academy of Sciences of developing countries and former chairman of the Chinese Psychological Association, stressed that the early family education advocated at present does not mean that parents should rush to teach their children to count and read early, but hope that parents will realize that they should protect their children's curiosity and interest as soon as possible.
If we always wait for children's curiosity and exploration and "instill" all kinds of knowledge into them early, children's curiosity will not be nourished and their interest will be easily erased.
When children grow up, they may hate learning the most, and they also hate being exposed to new things. It really becomes "disgusting". Such children may also be the first to be eliminated in an unknown and changing world.
Confucius said, never tire of learning, never tire of teaching. Look at this sentence again. "Never tire of learning" is also based on a strong interest in new things. Why not get tired of it? Because children have always maintained a strong interest, driven by curiosity, children can want to explore and get good feedback in the process of exploration, so as to actively explore further.
Compared with what children have learned, this ability to be interested in things can only be connected with the future after 20 years, which is the core accomplishment to ensure that children still have the spirit of continuous exploration and competition in the great changes.
02
Children with innovative and creative abilities
Lawrence Cohen, the author of Game Power, believes that the most respected people are those who can create industries and jobs.
What will happen in the future? No one can give an accurate answer now, but in all activities of life, the most important thing is innovation and the ability to respond flexibly in the face of uncertain future. Therefore, we should pay more attention to whether children are innovative and creative than to know whether they are obedient and how they do in school.
Children's curiosity is a great motivation for their creation. Without curiosity and thirst for knowledge, it is impossible to create valuable inventions for human beings and society. Curious children must be creative.
Fantasy is the source of children's creative thinking. "Colored trees" and "blue sun" are not nonsense or wishful thinking, which is the embodiment of children's unique thinking. It is with such a rich imagination that children are inspired to create something different.
The era of artificial intelligence is coming, and only creativity can make people surpass robots. Parents should pay attention to cultivating children's ability to innovate constantly, so that children can solve problems with innovative views and attitudes and adapt to future life.
03
Children who know how to control their emotions.
Everyone will have emotions, children will cry and make trouble, and parents will also have troubles.
When the child is crying, the correct guidance of parents should not be to suppress the child's emotions, but to let the child correctly realize what kind of venting is effective and let him know how to deal with emotions and calm his emotions in the next emotional outbreak.
Learn to deal with emotions, and children can be mentally healthy and learn to resist stress. With the ability to manage emotions, even if they are in adversity in the future, children can transform the huge fluctuations and injuries caused by emotions under strong inner flexibility.
Only in this way can we ensure that children can find a solution to the problem when they encounter setbacks, rather than escape. Children's personality can be more complete and better adapted to the future.
04
Children with delayed gratification
What is delayed gratification?
In Zhang Kan's view, the ability of delayed gratification is not a kind of pure endurance, but also a manifestation of the ability to weigh and judge: knowing and judging a certain price can get greater benefits, and the ability to choose, judge and weigh extended from the ability of delayed gratification is more important.
There is such a famous experiment about delayed gratification in psychology:
In a small room, there is only a table and a chair. There are marshmallows, biscuits or biscuit sticks in the small tray on the table, which can keep dozens of children in it. The researchers told the children that they could choose to eat snacks immediately or wait until the researchers came back. The difference is that they can get more marshmallows when the researchers come back. Finally, about one-third of the children successfully restrained their desire and persisted for about 15 minutes until the researchers came back to cash the prize.
The experiment is not over yet. Almost 20 years after the beginning of the experiment, the researchers followed these children again, and finally found that those children who could achieve delayed gratification had better grades and more success in adulthood.
The world is changing rapidly and offers many choices. It is particularly important to know how to choose among many choices and how to weigh judgments.
Therefore, parents should pay attention to cultivating children's ability to delay satisfaction. Instead of letting children be in a passive control position and learn to be patient, it is better to let children gradually develop their self-control ability, from passive to active, and rely on their constantly improving judgment to achieve self-control.

A child with a strong learning ability
How to cultivate children's learning ability is a problem that many parents are very concerned about.
Children with strong learning ability will have a certain understanding of themselves: what I want, what my ideal is, and what I am good at; What kind of life do I want and what should I do?
The future is out of reach, and perhaps a lot of knowledge we are learning now will be eliminated in the near future. Facing this ever-changing world, parents should cultivate their children's strong inner heart and strong learning ability.
Learning ability is not only the ability to learn knowledge, but also the ability to cooperate and communicate with others, the ability to grow and the ability to deal with unexpected things. The world is changing rapidly, but children can also cope with every accident in a more positive way, adapt to change, keep learning and enrich themselves.
People with strong learning ability will definitely have a foothold in the future. In other words, children with strong learning ability now will be more competitive, contribute to society and have an attitude towards the world in the future.
In short, parents should pay attention to cultivating their children's sound mind, unique creativity, strong learning ability and perfect personality. In addition, children with strong hands-on ability and good thinking will become the core of competitiveness in 20 years.
Parents should not only help their children achieve their current academic achievements, but also help them see the future clearly and develop good habits in their adolescence.
There are too many uncertainties in educating children. Parents can only constantly optimize themselves and make their roles play better and better. Let yourself grow up with your children. Give children the best love and the most sensible love.
