Family moral education is really the foundation for perfecting a child’s personality. If a person is immoral, the stronger his body and the more developed his intelligence, the more he will be encouraged to do evil and be more unhelpful to society. Parents should pay attention to the following: to cultivate good moral character in their children, firstly, they must set an example, and secondly, they must be like spring rain, moistening things silently, so that children can be nurtured unconsciously. French sociologist Talde has a famous saying: "Society is imitation." Primary school students have a strong imitation mentality, and the example of their parents is a silent education.
Retired Li Zhenxia is a part-time professor at the Central Party School, but people are more interested in her identity as the mother of four PhDs.
Professor Li has three sons, one is a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, one is a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and the other is a Ph.D. from the China Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The eldest daughter Jin Ying is a Ph.D. Postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University.
"To be honest, we didn't deliberately train our children to become famous and have a family. We just used love, confidence, perseverance and painstaking efforts to weave a net. Who would have expected that they would return four to me? Doctor." Having said this, Professor Li found a hand-drawn picture of a lady and handed it to the reporter. The date of creation of this childish work was recorded on the yellowed page: October 5, 1971.
"How is it? My daughter painted it." Her words revealed kindness, love and pride.
"We named her 'Firefly', hoping that she would be able to light up herself like a firefly." As a result, Jin Ying was good at reading when she was in school, but she was a pig when she went to the countryside. He was raised well and performed well in surgeries as a doctor. After going abroad, he gradually became the backbone of genetic engineering research at Hopkins University.
Teaching by example is more important than teaching by words. Professor Li likes the words of Lenin's wife Krupskaya very much: "For parents, family education is first and foremost self-education." In the eyes of the four children, their parents are addicted to books and forget about work, leaving them with a legacy It left a deep impression that children and books are the protagonists in parents’ lives. The children have become Ph.D.s, and their parents have become industry leaders, and both received special allowances from the State Council. Silent actions powerfully convey the true meaning of life and learning. Jin Ying said: "When I was young, our family was very poor. In terms of material, our parents did not give us much, but they gave us the foundation for studying and being a person, that is - a healthy mind."
Educator Teacher Li Zhenxi is famous in the teaching circle for his love and ethics. His goal in raising his daughter is for her children to be kind, happy, and diligent throughout their lives. When she was a child, her daughter Qingyan was like most children, ordinary, timid, shy, and average in learning ability. Under Li Zhenxi's words and deeds, she became an outstanding talent, her moral character was perfected, and she was admitted to a key university with excellent results.
On October 4, 2006, "China Youth Daily" published an article by Li Qingyan of Sichuan University - "Post-80s: We are a group of comatose pets", which aroused contemporary college students, parents, and teachers' opinions on Discussion of values. While people were thinking about it, they all praised Li Qingyan for his integrity and purity of thought and his free and easy writing style.
Teacher Li loves children very much. His daughter’s grades in elementary school have never been top-notch. Teacher Li has always paid great attention to protecting her happiness. He insists that the joy of learning is more important than academic performance. He cannot bear to let his daughter look down on him. . Once, Teacher Li’s daughter said that she didn’t do well in the exam, it was terrible, she felt sad, and felt that she was a “bad student”——
“Dad, your daughter didn’t do well in the exam, which is embarrassing to you. ”
Teacher Li said: “Maybe today, you think it’s a big ‘disaster’ if you don’t do well in the exam, but in five years, ten years, twenty years... when you do. After you have truly matured spiritually and experienced and overcome more setbacks in life, you will look back at today's midterm exam. You will feel that this setback is just a small whirlpool in the long river of life. It is simply insignificant. I am willing to be with you! Read aloud the words of a poet again: 'There is no road longer than feet, and no mountain higher than people!'"
Originally, my daughter's words made Teacher Li heartbroken and uneasy. As a father, what he expressed was a touching yet sober philosophy.
Teacher Li often says: "Son, daddy allows you to fail the exam next time!"
Regarding Teacher Li's efforts to educate her daughter to become a talented person, Dou Guimei, vice principal of Tsinghua University Affiliated Primary School and an education expert, has deep thoughts She said with emotion: Teacher Li paid more attention to her daughter’s quality than her studies, and in the end, she was able to gain enviable results. "However, some parents today are never satisfied with their children's results. Deep down, these parents always regard their children as geniuses, rather than as ordinary people. They are idealized every time they take an exam. Therefore, parents always express disappointment to their children. This kind of disappointment is undoubtedly the most lethal weapon for children's self-confidence. Indeed, Chinese parents have never valued their children as much as they do now. The improvement of academic performance and various skills; but it is no exaggeration to say that Chinese parents have never neglected their children’s emotional and moral cultivation as they do now.”
