Chapter 2413: The secret to educating children.
“I insisted on bringing up my precious myself, so he’s especially close to . He could fold his bed quilt already when he was just six. I thought my child was smart and considerate for his age until I saw yours today... Sigh!”
Yun Shishi could only frown in resignation.
Honestly, how could one compare a child to another?
What parents needed to do was to inject self-confidence in their kids. They had to let their children know that they were the best in their eyes. The adults had to encourage their children whenever they completed a task to the best of their ability. The last thing adults should be doing was compare kids with one another; this would crush the little ones’ self-confidence. Gradually, the kids would lose the motivation to work hard because, subconsciously, ‘the other children’ would always be better no matter how hard they tried.
Soone among them popped a question to the actress suddenly. “Ms. Yun, who is looking after your children?”
The woman replied with a smile, “Before I entered showbiz, I was an employee in a busy company, but still, I’ve always been the one to look after my son. Youyou has been an independent child since he was much younger. He could wear his own clothes by himself when he was three. At four years old, he learned to stand on a small, wooden stool to cook! I’m not sure why, but he’s been very intelligent and sweet since small. He’s obedient, thoughtful and respectful to the elders as well. The only thing is that he may be too quiet for his own good at tis. The most amazing thing about him is his cooking is comparable to a professional chef!”
She was reserved in singing her praise about her son, but that did not reduce the astonishnt the listeners felt when they heard her description.
Everyone was dumbfounded, actually.
Geez. Is she for real?
The boy can cook by himself?
His cooking skills are comndable?
They could not believe their ears.
“He cooks?”
“...When he’s four?!”
“OMG! He’s a little genius!”
Everyone was too shocked for words and could only express their wondernt by shaking their heads. “I don’t believe you! My kid is already nine years old and he still needs to feed him. He is too naughty and often makes run after him at altis.”
The actress comnted, “You can’t make this a habit, though. If he’s not gonna eat his food, then you should ignore him and eat by yourself, but make sure you don’t start feeding him again when he gives you a pitiful look when he’s hungry! You have to tell him that there’s nothing for him to eat later if he insists on missing his als. The kid will gradually learn that he can go hungry unless he follows your instruction. If not, it’ll lead to a bad habit when he thinks that you’re obligated to feed him at his whims. The child will beco more unreasonable in this way.”
“I see...”
“Actually, I really envy you with your two considerate children, but I know that so things in life aren’t ant to be! Did you sign him up for any enrichnt classes when he was small?”
The woman shook her head. “No, I didn’t. On the contrary, as I was usually too busy at work and hardly got a day-off, I left him alone at ho most of the ti. Many tis, I had to work until late at night and could only spend ti with him at lunch and dinner. I rarely had a chance to spend quality ti with him, but he’s been a patient boy since he was much younger. Plus, he seems to be a classic Virgo, where he will make sure he does his best at every single task he undertakes. He is able to do well for things that the average kid has little patience for.”
She rembered vaguely that, in the past, there was a period when 3D puzzles were the fad.
These were three-dinsional jigsaw puzzles of ancient architectures and modern skyscrapers. The most difficult one to construct was the Eiffel Tower, which had a few thousand pieces. Most children would not have the patience to complete the task.
