Features: On the journey of life, there are many treasures, but also many pitfalls. At first, I didn’t realize this, until one day I discovered its value. As for "habits," everyone can talk about them. A child in kindergarten insists on developing the habit of eating on time, but when it comes to an elderly person quitting smoking, he becomes extremely impatient: "To ask me to quit smoking is to ask me to die! It’s a lifelong habit, how can it be..." Because of its "familiar yet unfamiliar" nature, people tend to overlook it even more, even wanting to discard it like old shoes. By the end of the 20th century, a book revered as the business Bible of the Western world, The Greatest Salesman in the World, changed the Chinese people’s numb perception of "habits." The author, Og Mandino, wrote in the preface: "This first volume hides a secret that only a few wise people in history have understood." Reading this, people can’t help but ask, what could be such a mysterious secret that only a few people in history could grasp it? If that’s the case, wouldn’t those who can understand it become sages for all eternity? Strong curiosity and the dream of becoming a sage motivate people to delve deeper. So, what is this secret? Not anything else, but—habits. The child stage is a critical period for the formation and development of habits. A vast number of behaviors during this time solidify into habits. Good habits benefit children for a lifetime, while bad habits leave them enduring painful and awkward experiences. If a child has already developed bad habits, parents shouldn’t panic, because we now have the book How to Break Bad Habits. This book covers various aspects of children’s learning, interpersonal relationships, daily life, behavior, and psychology. The examples included are drawn from real life, and the authors, who have extensive experience in or are currently engaged in educational practice and research on children, propose highly practical solutions.
