When it comes to Einstein, the first thing that comes to most people's minds is "genius", but the childhood of this great scientist was not the so-called "child prodigy".
On the contrary, when he was a child, he was introverted and slow in speech and behavior. He was often ridiculed by his classmates, and he could not speak fluently until he was 9 years old. The teacher who taught him Latin even directly said that he must be useless. thesis. But such a child, who everyone thought was unlikely to achieve great things, grew up to become a world-famous scientist. What is the key to this?
In fact, it is not difficult to find these similarities among many great scientists.
1. Diligence
Hua Luogeng has a familiar saying: "Smartness lies in diligence, genius lies in accumulation."
Although not every child has superior objective conditions and extraordinary intelligence, diligence can make up for weakness, and everyone knows the truth of "the stupid bird flies first". Diligence brings the habit of self-discipline to children, and self-discipline is the prerequisite for success and the only way to success.
2. Good at thinking
Einstein’s father gave him a compass when he was a child. He was very curious when he found that the compass could point out the direction of north and south.
After thinking about the answer to no avail, he studied and asked adults for several days, and finally figured out the principle of "magnetism". It can be seen that good thinking habits can stimulate children's potential. Curiosity about things is the source of motivation for children to think independently. This is the most important ability for him to enter the world in the future.
3. Have courage
There was a time when Einstein had a strong interest in the Pythagoras theorem.
To this end, he spent three weeks to finally find a way to prove this theorem. Therefore, if a child can have the courage and perseverance to explore independently driven by interest, his willpower will far exceed that of his peers when he grows up, and his beliefs will be stronger.
In fact, every child has the possibility of becoming a genius.
But judging from Einstein’s childhood experience, geniuses are often different from ordinary people. As everyone knows, in the process of parents trying to polish their children to be like other children, they may unconsciously obliterate their children's outstanding potential.
If a child exhibits these two behaviors, parents should not strangle them arbitrarily
Many parents are helpless when their children throw things around and mess up the cabinets at home. He may even get angry, and in most cases he will stop it quickly. But children are driven by their nature and initiative to knock over and disrupt things, and this process is also accompanied by thinking.
Parents may wish to sit down, communicate with their children calmly, and find out the reasons why they throw things:
Is it because they feel that the order of placing items is unreasonable? Or do you think another arrangement would be more beautiful?
Parents can further understand their children's inner thoughts during the communication process, thereby discovering their children's talents in aesthetics, hands-on ability, thinking and logic, etc. Moreover, you can also tell your children to tidy up after the room is messy, so that they can realize their desire to do things. Throwing things is also a manifestation of the rapid development of children's fine motor skills. Parents can prepare toys such as Dongdong books for their children to promote their children's hand-eye coordination.
Children frequently ask "why". Prachi Shah, associate professor of early childhood science at the University of Michigan, once released a study. After surveying 2,600 kindergarten children, he found that children with stronger curiosity had better math and literacy skills. The stronger.
This experimental conclusion tells us the importance of children’s curiosity and logical thinking. Children look at everything in the world with very simple eyes, and every child is very curious.
Why is the sky blue? Why does the moon shine? Why does water freeze when the weather is too cold?
However, some parents may not be very patient when facing these problems, and may even respond with "If you think about it so much, you might as well study quickly." As everyone knows, this kind of behavior of parents kills children's desire for knowledge and makes children's newly awakened logical thinking and scientific awareness disappear in the budding stage, which is not conducive to the cultivation and development of children's logical thinking ability.
Keep children curious so that their interest in learning will not dry up.
