All parents in China have never met together in a meeting. But many will say the same thing: "Child, as long as you do well in your studies, you don’t need to worry about anything else." How terrible this national consensus is! If the core of education is to cultivate real people, then where should we start? This book reveals:
· The core of education is learning to be a person, and cultivating real people should begin with habit formation.
· A person’s behavior is largely determined by his habits. Through a subtle habit, one can often analyze a person’s thoughts, style, morality, or level of civilization.
· In terms of children’s education, kindergarten and primary school are key periods for forming habits. We say the core of education is not to impart knowledge but to cultivate a person’s healthy personality, and good habits are the solid foundation of a healthy personality.
· The key to habit formation lies in the first three days, and it is determined within a month. According to the research of American scientists, it takes 21 days to form a habit.
· The seven steps for cultivating and correcting children’s habits:
A. Recognize the importance of habits
B. Discuss and set appropriate behavioral norms with the child and relevant personnel
C. Conduct vivid and moving role model education
D. Practice persistently
E. Evaluate and guide promptly and scientifically
F. Gradually cultivate a good group atmosphere
G. Use addition to cultivate good habits, and use subtraction to correct bad habits
