Features: The process of children's education is an ongoing socialization process. How to respect socialization without hindering a child's personality development is something that quality education practice should prioritize! Personality is the driving force of creativity and an important foundation for happiness. In postmodern society, the continuous functionalization of education, whether in the world of adults or children, lacks happiness. Are your children happy? Is learning the reason for their happiness? Understanding your own children and establishing appropriate principles based on their characteristics is not easy, and consistently implementing these principles in practice is even harder. But this is the primary responsibility of being a parent! The authors of this book studied in the UK for many years and obtained a Ph.D. in Science and an M.Ed. in Education. They have conducted extensive research in comparative education and early quality education, and have hosted Xiao Pei Education Consulting overseas. Based on years of educational consulting experience with overseas Chinese children, they have proposed three principles of quality education—social, family, and individual—from the perspective of the integration of diverse Eastern and Western cultures and modernization. These principles have been applied in practice and have received a large number of successful feedbacks. This book is based on the growth experience of the author's daughter, etc., etc., with the children telling their own growth stories and the parents discussing how they cooperated and guided, how they established simple and practical principles together with the children in practice, making education a process full of happiness and making happiness an important indicator of quality. This book not only enriches readers' deep understanding of quality education but also provides parents with practical references for parent-child education practice. This book is an invaluable resource for modern parents in parenting education—once missed, it will be a lifelong regret.
