Features: Nowadays, people are very interested in the issue of "children's potential development." Many believe that children have immense potential, like an unfathomable well. How to develop it? The answer is to pour in a lot of things into children—this is like desperately filling a well. When it's finally filled, there will be no water left in the well, and the child's mind will lose its creativity. Then they realize it's a mistake. This is the misconception.
