Features: "My Family Classroom—A Mother Who Cultivated Three PhDs in Countries Talks About Family Education" is an inspirational handbook for Chinese parents who hope their children can achieve great success. The author's three children were admitted to universities in the UK or the US with very low scores, but later all earned PhDs, far surpassing the achievements of their peers with similar backgrounds. The book explores what constitutes a "family classroom" suitable for Chinese people. From the perspective of a successful mother, the author delves into all aspects of the "Chinese-style family classroom"—the most ordinary small incidents in life, as well as the issues that should be paid attention to in family education. She emphasizes that major problems in family education often stem from extremely trivial details in daily life. The "family classroom" rooted in Chinese local characteristics, yet operating within the context of Sino-Western cultural differences, is a must-learn course for all Chinese parents.
