But arthur schopenhauer once said: If you read endlessly without thinking, you can't forget what you have read, and most of it will eventually disappear.
Let's look at an example first:
Xiao Jing often quarreled with her mother recently because she read extracurricular books, because Xiao Jing fell in love with a comic book. Mother thinks that the contents of extracurricular books are not nutritious, so it is better to spend these hours reading the knowledge in textbooks. Xiao Jing thinks that the homework is already very good, and it will be boring to spend so much time studying textbook knowledge.
Xiaojing loves reading, which is obviously a good phenomenon. In books, we can read knowledge that we can't learn in school. At school, we don't have much time to go outside and see the vast world. Getting it from books is the best way.
The mother's starting point is also good, for Xiao Jing's future study, but there is something wrong with the method of educating her children. In the choice of books, adults can help children check. First of all, we need to eliminate books with bad influence, such as pornographic books, violent books, superstitious books and other books that are harmful to children's body and mind. Secondly, don't be too tolerant, and don't ban all extracurricular books like Xiao Jing's mother, which will hinder children from acquiring more knowledge.
It is a good habit to like reading, and parents need to use this habit to pave a smooth road for their children's future. Parents should check the books their children read in advance and read books that are beneficial to the body and mind, so that their children can grow up happily.
How to make children read useful books?
Choose positive energy books to guide children.
Children must choose books that can give him correct guidance when reading, so that children can learn truth, goodness and beauty, or some good habits and virtues in such books. Such books can help children form a correct outlook on life when they grow up, and are also very helpful for dealing with people in the future.
The content of the book should attract and interest children.
Many parents allow their children to read extracurricular books, but the books they find for their children are masterpieces. Although the child can read the words inside, he doesn't understand the meaning. Such books are beneficial, but children are not interested at all. We can choose books that tell the truth with stories so that children can read happily and learn knowledge.
I can't choose books. I can let my children read the books required by this grade.
The school usually requires children to read some prescribed books, which will be used as homework during the summer vacation. Parents only need to buy these books for their children according to the teacher's requirements. This kind of books are professionally screened and interesting in content, which can play a role in educating children. Parents who read these books will feel at ease.
Children's study at school is always boring, and it will be boring if they don't see their favorite books in their spare time. Many parents object to children watching cartoons, thinking that there is little knowledge in them and they can't give them some knowledge. This concept is too old-fashioned. When you object to children watching cartoons, you might as well look at the contents of these cartoons yourself.
Are so-called "miscellaneous books and extracurricular books" such as comics really useless to children?
Actually, rebellious psychology is human instinct, and there is a famous "white bear effect" in psychology. In other words, the less you are allowed to imagine a white bear, the easier it is for you to think of it. So are children. Parents should have a deep understanding. The more you don't let him do something, the more he will do it.
In fact, in "Mandarin Zhou Yu Xia", the article "Yu Zhi Shui" is very good: it is better to block it than to dredge it. And sparse is better than cited.
For example:
A Liang's mother is particularly opposed to his reading comic books, but the more she opposes A Liang, the more she wants to read them, because the stories in the book are so interesting. At home, my mother wouldn't let me read, so A Liang had to borrow other people's books at school and read them in class.
The English teacher found A Liang reading cartoons in class and confiscated the books. After class, he asked A Liang to talk in the office. Then I learned the actual situation, and I also said that I was reading this cartoon myself. The teacher said: "This book is lively and interesting, with hidden knowledge and good work habits. Liang, you have chosen a good book, so you should pay attention to the reading occasion next time! " The English teacher and A Liang's mother said, "The comic book he chose is very good. It is also good for A Liang to read such a book after finishing his homework. "
Children must have their own reasons for reading comic books. Parents should not directly deny their children in this situation. Children should be educated according to the actual situation. If comic books are good for children, parents should not stop them. As long as children can keep up with their studies, they can read their favorite books in their spare time.
Long-term adherence to reading can broaden children's knowledge, cultivate children's sentiment and become a person who likes to think. People who like reading will have much higher EQ than children who don't like reading. The knowledge in the book can enrich his mind and his imagination, and reading can also bring many benefits to children.
