Young scholar Lin Ge reminds young parents not to fall into the same mistakes again when educating their children. He believes that many parents today exhibit blind faith and unquestioning obedience, with some even becoming obsessed with the parenting experiences of so-called successful children. In reality, these experiences often sound easy but are difficult to implement. Some parents, in their attempts to imitate, end up doing the opposite. Lin Ge argues that as education researchers, their work lies in transforming parents' perspectives and strengthening the research on the transferability of rational understanding. They aim to abstract general solutions or principles and make them a part of parents' own techniques. Lin Ge also emphasizes that for parents, to transform good ideas into good techniques, they must carefully select and reflect on their own realities, being smart parents. They should be adept at distilling the truly useful essence. The "true essence" refers to those "effective suggestions that can be clearly articulated in three points and understood from both positive and negative perspectives." If parents simply clone or imitate without thinking, they risk "drawing a tiger but ending up resembling a dog." Therefore, it is crucial to be cautious when accepting ideas and methods.
