As early as in Germany 1800, the priest in a small village also had ardent expectations for his children who were still in his wife's womb.
He hopes that if his son is as strong as a rock and his daughter is as beautiful as a blooming flower. And his wife said that both boys and girls want TA to be a sound person.
In July, their son was born. Unfortunately, his limbs twitched and he was short of breath, which was obviously congenital deficiency. In infancy, he also appeared extremely demented and unresponsive.
However, at the age of eight or nine, this child can freely use six languages, including German, French, Italian, Latin, English and Greek, and is proficient in chemistry, zoology, botany, physics and mathematics. 9 years old, admitted to Leipzig University; /kloc-entered the University of G? ttingen at the age of 0/0.
/kloc-published a paper on helix at the age of 0/2, and/kloc-published a book trigonometry at the age of 0/3. 14 years old was awarded a doctorate in philosophy.
What makes a compassionate child with mental retardation become a prodigy that everyone admires? The answer lies in the book Carl Witt's Education written by the pastor's father.
This book is an authoritative educational reading jointly recommended by Harvard University, Cambridge University and Oxford University. It is the earliest early education literature in the world, and it is also a bestseller with a global sales volume of over 100 million.
Kuiyi Kimura, a famous Japanese psychologist, educator and originator of early childhood education, said: "Why are so many prodigies concentrated at Harvard University at the same time? There cannot be so many coupling phenomena in the world. This is the result of Carl Witt's education. "
Boris sidis, a doctor of psychology at Harvard University in the United States, said: "Cultivating a mentally retarded child into a famous wizard in Germany is the best example to prove the magic and greatness of the book Education in Carl Witt."
Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator in China, also said: "After this book comes out, children can laugh more and parents can worry less. This book is a source of happiness for children and parents. "
Let's take a look at how this father, Carl Witt Sr., trained his retarded Carl Jr. into an elite. What can we learn from it?
1. The most important thing is education, not talent.
Genius is defined as having a certain talent, including extraordinary creativity and imagination; A talented person. Perhaps many parents have secretly prayed that God would give them a genius, but most parents know that this hope is slim.
Most children are ordinary people with average intelligence and have no extraordinary talent. However, we don't have to lose heart, because this doesn't mean that the child will be mediocre all his life. As long as the education is proper, even mediocre children can inspire extraordinary talents.
Because for children, the most important thing is the education after tomorrow, not the gift from God.
The birth of Carl Jr. was once very sad for the old couple in Jeancard. Everyone comforted them, but no one thought that Carl Jr. would grow up normally.
But old Carl didn't lose heart. He launched an active early education for young Carl, effectively developed his intelligence, and then spared no effort to impart knowledge to him, cultivate his good moral character, and finally made young Carl grow into an outstanding figure.
Children with average qualifications or even mental retardation can become talents after effective education. Can gifted children become talents without much education? The answer is no.
Wang Anshi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote the story of a prodigy named Fang Zhongyong. At the age of five, he didn't read a book, but he was able to write poems. Everyone thought it was amazing and paid him to write poems. His father thought it was profitable, so he took him to visit others every day and prevented him from studying. Gradually, Zhong Yong's talent dried up, and he could no longer write good poems. "Everyone has disappeared."
Therefore, regardless of the child's natural qualifications, a good education the day after tomorrow is indispensable. We can't influence a child's talent, but we can influence his life with education.
Kailov, a famous educator in the Soviet Union, said: "Talent only gives some seeds, not established knowledge and virtue. These seeds need to be developed, and development must be achieved through education and parenting. "
We should not be complacent about our children's extraordinary talents, nor should we be depressed about their general intelligence. Proper acquired education is the correct posture to open their bright future. Next, I will discuss the methods of educating children from three aspects: their own growth, the relationship between children and parents, and the relationship between children and others.
2. How to help children grow up?
The growth of children includes physical growth and spiritual growth. These two aspects complement each other and are indispensable. Only a healthy body and a full mind can become a sound person and gain a foothold in society.
Little Carl was born in poor health. Mr karl witte doesn't think that the more you eat, the better your health. Instead, arrange your diet scientifically to prevent overeating.
He pays great attention to Carl's physical exercise, never wraps him tightly, but lets him move freely, often takes him to outdoor activities, and does hanging exercises every chance to exercise his arm strength. In this way, little Carl grew up from a weak dementia baby to a healthy and lively child.
Now some parents like to run after their children. The children keep saying that they are full and don't eat, but they don't believe it. They tried their best to stuff rice into their mouths. Or give whatever the child likes, and overeating without restraint is very bad for the child's health.
The correct way is to provide children with a variety of nutritious and balanced foods, so that children can choose what to eat and how much to eat, and then put it away after eating. Besides drinking water, you can't eat snacks or drink alcohol. Then you can eat it at the next meal.
Children are sexually active and like to crawl around, run around and jump, but some parents are afraid of getting their clothes dirty and bumping into them, so they hold them everywhere or don't let them do this or that.
Or simply don't take it out, don't exercise, show it to him with cartoons, and let the children sit quietly and worry-free. As we all know, adults worry, but it is extremely unfavorable for children's growth.
In addition to exercising, learning knowledge and enriching the mind are also necessary conditions for children to grow up.
First of all, at the beginning of learning, we should combine children's playful nature and learn all kinds of knowledge in the game, so that children can actively absorb knowledge under the impetus of interest and curiosity, instead of cramming passive learning.
Protect children's curiosity, seriously answer children's 100 thousand why, find information with children, and cultivate children's exploration spirit.
Pay attention to learning in practice and life, and such knowledge will be firmly imprinted in children's minds.
Secondly, if you have some achievements in your studies, you should praise your children in time to give them a strong sense of accomplishment. A sense of accomplishment is the motivation for children to continue their studies.
Carl Jr. is good at languages, but he doesn't like math. He finally learned to add and subtract, and Mr. Carl Witt held a small celebration for this purpose. The guests present gave little Karti questions, and little Carl did everything right. Everyone applauded him warmly. This greatly inspired his sense of accomplishment, and he was no longer afraid of mathematics. Later, he successfully learned more advanced mathematical knowledge such as multiplication and division, algebra and geometry.
Finally, in the process of learning, we should pay attention to cultivating children's good study habits. Stimulate children's interest in learning and improve their learning concentration; Set a time to improve children's learning efficiency without delay; When encountering problems or difficulties, we should persevere and find ways to solve them.
3. Establish a good parent-child relationship
Parents are the most important family members in a child's life. Only by establishing a good parent-child relationship can children grow up healthily. Parents are the caregivers and protectors of children, so parents have natural authority over children.
Parents can't spoil their children. They can use this authority to ask their children what to do and what not to do. However, we must not abuse our power to control our children in the name of love and satisfy our desire for control.
The cornerstone of parent-child relationship is mutual respect. Children are flesh and blood independent people, not parents' marionettes.
Mr. Carl Witt said: "Respect between people is mutual, and parents and children are no exception. Parents should respect their children first if they want to get their children's respect. And because children are very young, we must let them know the importance of respecting parents and others. "
A child pinched his mother's neck and pulled her hair because her mother didn't meet his requirements for buying toys. Others dissuaded him and told others to get out. This is the result of not teaching children to respect their parents.
In the TV series Little Joy, Song Qian's tight control over Eiko makes Eiko feel suffocated and the relationship between mother and daughter deteriorates, which is the result of parents' disrespect for their children.
Parents respect their children, especially protect their self-esteem. Perhaps in the eyes of us adults, a small thing is a big thing for children.
202 1 On the first day of New Year's Day, a little girl who was the first in the grade in Qianshan City, Anhui Province committed suicide by drowning. The reason is that the teacher doesn't believe that she can do so well in the exam, suspects that she cheated, and asks her to take the exam again. The teacher's distrust dealt a great blow to children's self-esteem, which led to the tragedy. A delicate and charming flower withered like this, which made people feel sad and sigh.
Even if the child really made a mistake, he should not beat and scold at will. He wants to find out the reason and convince others.
It can be said that almost all problems in parent-child relationship are rooted in disrespect. Children respect their parents and understand their difficulties, so they are willing to cooperate with their parents and restrain their improper behavior.
Parents will be more democratic if they respect their children and understand their immature and growing needs. If they are willing to listen to their children's voices, they will know when to care and when to let go.
4. Teach children how to get along with others
In life, children not only stay with their parents, but also often come into contact with different people such as teachers and classmates. When you grow up, you have to live alone, have no parents, and deal with all kinds of people in society. Therefore, it is also necessary to teach children how to behave. Only by establishing good interpersonal relationships can life be happy.
The cornerstone of getting along with others is also mutual respect. To respect others, we should first treat them with courtesy, neither supercilious nor supercilious, but we should not be arrogant and rude. After young Carl became famous, he looked down on others at first, and his attitude towards others was cold and arrogant, which aroused everyone's disgust. Later, I woke up and regained everyone's recognition.
Secondly, we should be honest and trustworthy, treat others sincerely and help others. Mr. Carl Witt encouraged little Carl to do good deeds and help others, and made a "behavior record" to encourage him.
Respecting others is not the same as pleasing others. Respect is an equal relationship. While respecting others, we should also respect our own wishes and refuse unreasonable demands from others. Only in this way can we gain real respect from others.
In particular, children should be taught to distinguish right from wrong and not to trust others. Children should know that there are good people and bad people in this world. They should be kind to others, but they should not abuse kindness.
Educating children is a lifelong learning career.
Bill Gates said: "Education is a lifetime thing." Educating children is a lifelong career for parents, and it is also the hardest but happiest career.
Parents should firmly believe that a good education is a bright future for their children. While helping children grow and learn knowledge, they should also care for their hearts with love and respect, so that they can have a sense of security and self-esteem, and have the courage and strength to struggle alone.
The success of Carl Witt Jr. is like a miracle. Most parents are not as knowledgeable as Carl Witt Sr., but this educational concept still has important reference significance for people. True education will never be out of date, and true love will never fade.
Calvert's education will definitely help parents who love learning to find the right way to educate their children.
