Recently, 12-year-old boy Ni Haoyang became popular. Because he had a special liking for raising various insects, he was "devoted" by many netizens and had nearly 700,000 fans on the platform alone.
Ni Haoyang is familiar with insect species and habits. He often teaches netizens various insects on social media, and takes the exploration process of catching insects in the wild into videos to explain the origin of the insect name, body structure and living habits.
Sometimes it also links insects with ancient poetry and essays.
In October last year, Ni Haoyang found an horoscope that was built on the head of the bed. He quoted the sentence in " Book of Songs ": " horoscope has a child, and the horoscope will bear it."
. The reason why Ni Haoyang has a relationship with insects starts from the age of 2.
When Ni Haoyang was 2 years old, he saw a cockroach poking his head out at home. He was so little that he was not afraid at all. He also found a box with his grandfather, secretly caught two and raised them, and from then on he was out of control.
Now, Ni Haoyang has dozens of species and hundreds of insects at home, just like a small insect world. His knowledge of insects has made many adults feel sorry for him.
It is worth mentioning that Haoyang's current achievements are inseparable from his mother's long-term support.
Although the mother is afraid of insects, she chose to respect and accept after discovering her son's love for insects.
In order to satisfy Haoyang's curiosity, his mother often took him to the wild to explore; when Haoyang explained the video, his mother was responsible for shooting while listening patiently; she specially applied for a card in Haoyang Library just to help him learn more insect knowledge.
Regarding the child's interest issue, Haoyang's mother once said: "If he fails to get into an ideal university, we will regret it and may not regret it, but if he deprives him of interest for the sake of learning, it is very cruel."
Indeed, we always say that interest is the best teacher, but many parents often stifle their children's interest, force their children to follow their grades, always put learning first, but they ruin their children's talent with their own hands.
Children's interest is inseparable from parents' support
"Can you shut up! Stay quiet for a while!"
"What's the point of playing with broken things? Hurry up and learn!"
children's imagination is imaginative, and the world in their minds is colorful, but many times parents lack patience and are unwilling to face up to their children's interests, which inadvertently causes a devastating blow to their children's curiosity.
And the child’s interest is inseparable from parental support. If parents are perfunctory to their children and think that their children are “wasting time”, then it is often difficult for children to persist in their interests for a long time, and their passion and hobbies are ruthlessly erased.
Many parents often complain, saying that their children have nothing to say to themselves, they are not interested in anything, and they don’t listen to whatever they say.
In fact, this is precisely because parents "eat the bitter fruits" of their parents. Their mistakes accumulate bit by bit, which leads to children losing interest and rifts in their parent-child relationship.
Interest is the driving force for children to learn
Some time ago, a famous 8-year-old boy from Shaoxing, Zhejiang was obsessed with aerospace because his video of self-studying to study rockets became popular.
5 years ago, the father Mr. Zhang took his son to watch a rocket launch, which completely aroused the child's interest in aerospace.
After returning home, the child gradually fell in love with astronomy, physics, military and chemistry through space, spontaneously read books and watch videos to learn, and set a lofty ambition: wants to study rockets and to work in the space agency.
It is precisely because of his interest in aerospace that an 8-year-old boy is not afraid of difficulties and actively learns difficult science knowledge. His interest has become the strongest motivation to promote his children's learning.
Some parents always feel that their children are "taking detours". Only by studying well is the right way, and they force their children to give up.
In fact, if the child’s interests are beneficial, we don’t have to interfere too much. As long as the guidance is properly, interest can promote children’s learning and enable children to learn more knowledge.
How to protect children's interests?
1. Good at discovering
Children's interests and hobbies vary greatly. We must be good at discovering, enriching children's lives and experiences, and getting more contact and trying more.
For example, often take your children to try some outdoor sports, visit museums, buy books, etc., and observe what aspects the children are more interested in, so as to discover their children's hobbies.
2. Guide
When children express their interests, we should try our best to encourage and guide them.
Especially sometimes children give up halfway and it is difficult to persevere. We must tell children to be able to win by perseverance, and make appropriate use of some small techniques so that children can persevere.
3. Avoid crackdown on
As long as the child’s interests are beneficial, we should not interfere too much. We should avoid crackdowns. Let children enjoy their interests and gradually become excellent in the process of persisting in interests and hobbies. This is the greatest significance of cultivating interests and hobbies.
Conclusion:
The Analects says: " Those who know it are not as good as those who like it are , and those who like it are not as good as those who enjoy it are."
I hope everyone can protect their children's interests and avoid blind suppression, so that children can become better people in the process of persisting in their interests.
