Features: On the journey of life, there are many treasures, but also many pitfalls. At first, I was unaware of this until I one day discovered its value, just like the "habit" that is both familiar and strange to everyone. When it comes to "habit," anyone can talk about it. A child in kindergarten insists every day on developing the habit of eating meals on time, but when it comes to an elderly person quitting smoking, he becomes extremely impatient: "To ask me to quit smoking is to ask for my life! A lifelong old habit, how can it be..." Because of its "familiar face" and "old topic," people tend to overlook it even more, even wanting to discard it like old shoes. By the end of the 20th century, a book revered as the commercial Bible of the Western world, The Greatest Salesman in the World, changed the Chinese people's numb perception of "habit." The author Og Mandino wrote at the beginning of the book: "This first volume hides a secret that only a few wise people in history have understood." Reading this, people can't help but ask, what is this secret so difficult to solve that only a few people in history have been able to grasp it? If that's the case, wouldn't those who can understand it become sages for all eternity? A strong curiosity and the dream of becoming a sage motivate people to continue their search. So, what is this secret? Not anything else, but—habit. The child stage is a critical period for the formation and development of habits. A large number of behaviors are solidified into habits during this time. Good habits will benefit children for a lifetime, while bad habits will leave them enduring painful and awkward experiences. Once a child has developed bad habits, parents shouldn't panic, because we now have the book How to Correct Bad Habits. This book covers various aspects of children's learning, interpersonal interactions, daily life, behavior, and psychology. The examples selected are all drawn from real life, and the authors have all engaged in or are currently engaged in educational practice and research on children. The solutions they propose are highly practical.
