Goethe, a German playwright, poet and thinker, once said: Whoever doesn't think with his brain will end up feeling nothing!
The reason why human beings can conquer all animals and rule the earth is because they can think and have their own ideas. Now artificial intelligence technology is more and more developed. Foxconn's robotic arm has replaced many workers, and robots have been introduced into many industries. Robot mobile phones have also been used in epidemic prevention in Wuhan to monitor the temperature of Han people. ......
As we all know, artificial intelligence has replaced all fixed jobs. Robots don't have to think, but only need to execute the commands issued by the system. So we can see that the biggest difference between robots and people is thinking.
How to cultivate children's independent thinking ability? First of all, parents should use language reasonably in daily life and encourage their children to think independently.
Ask children more questions, encourage them to ask why, and protect their curiosity. Be patient with your child's "100,000 whys". If you know the answer, explain it to the child. If you don't understand the question, accompany your child to find the answer. Don't deny children's whimsy or ideas that we can't understand. Encourage children to think and describe themselves. We should be a good listener and give recognition in time! Don't be stingy with our praise language after the children figure out a way! Appropriate praise can inspire children to think harder next time! Second, increase children's knowledge and let brain neurons establish more connections.
As the saying goes, you can recite 300 Tang poems by heart even if you can't write them. What is said is to have enough knowledge accumulation. Similarly, children can only form their own unique ideas by watching, listening, experiencing, experiencing and learning more! The following is a method to increase children's knowledge. I have been practicing it and the effect is very good.
1, travel.
Travel is the best way to increase knowledge. Every place has its own characteristics, with vast expanses of sea and beautiful mountains and rivers; Southerners are enthusiastic, while northerners are straightforward; Europeans have white skin and yellow hair; Africans have dark skin ... children can see the world in various ways when traveling. However, the epidemic is not over yet, and it is recommended to travel cautiously.
2. Cultivate children's reading habits.
Molly has a famous saying: the real purpose of books is to induce the mind to think independently!
Travel can enrich your knowledge, but it takes time, effort and money. If the conditions are not mature, you can make up for it by reading books! Astronomy, geography, culture, history, stories, etc. Don't be limited to the field, just buy books of the right age! Through reading, you will find out your child's interests, which will be of great benefit to your child's future academic performance.
3. Try to expose children to different things.
Stones and flowers on the roadside, caterpillars crawling on the way home, moving ants, kittens and puppies ... If children want to observe, give them time; The sand downstairs in the community, the statue standing on the street, the model in the clothing store ... Children should touch it, don't stop it forcibly, and parents should protect it.
Adults may not understand what children are interested in, but please respect them and support them. Don't make fun of them and let them observe and experience.
Try to expose your children to different people.
Everyone is unique and has his own unique way of doing things. Parents should try their best to expose their children to different people and let them know that people are different. You can take your children to visit your neighbor's house, participate in party activities organized by various units, and play with children in the same community.
5. Have a "debate" with your child.
This is almost a compulsory course for my son and me every day! I say Transformers are fun because they can be turned into cars and robots. Eva said that he likes excavators because they can dig sand and build houses. I said I like sunny days, because I feel warm with sunshine; The child said that the sun blinded his eyes, and he didn't like it. He likes rainy days. On rainy days, he can wear rain boots and carry an umbrella. ......
Need to be reminded that our purpose is to guide children to express their views, not to hurt their self-esteem, not to make them feel depressed!
6. Family meetings can be held once a week.
Family members can share their impressive things, or give their own views and solutions to a problem at home; You can also talk about the problems found last week; Talk about the plans and arrangements for next week.
Children of different ages have different expressive abilities. Parents should encourage their children to participate and express their opinions according to their specific conditions!
Many people have predicted that many people's jobs will be replaced by machines in the future. For the sake of children's better life in the future, cultivate their independent thinking ability from now on!
