Features: The protagonist of this book, Ferdinand, is a stubborn little boy who likes to make decisions and take actions based on his own judgment, which are often wrong or hidden errors, and he himself is unaware of this. For example, he knows the principle that "one should not lie," but when faced with people or things he dislikes, he wants to express his annoyance, and his parents tell him about politeness, thus making Ferdinand learn about the "theory of relativity" from another perspective. Sometimes, the principles that parents understand may not seem the same to children, and parents may not be able to understand their children's thoughts because those seemingly logical things indeed require children to ponder and practice them repeatedly. This book provides a kind of "transit station" space for both children and parents. Parents can help their children become people of high moral character, compassionate, courageous, and responsible, as well as brave, energetic, and upright. To achieve these humanistic goals, parents need to learn the methods of human nature. Love alone is not enough, and insight is also insufficient. Good parents need skills, and how to acquire and use these skills is the main content of this book.
