Forming A Good Habit From Very Young
As a teacher, I often share this wisdom with my students: "Life is not just writing a neat word, but painting a picture." If you wish to create a good picture of life, you really need to have a vision in your mind before you start the painting and to evolve your vision during the entire process."The hard question is: How can you have a clear and correct vision? We all want your children to grow up to be successful and happy. But how? Since I was young I wanted to learn from anyone whom I admire. I tried to ask those people if they had "a secrete to success" to offer me, but none of them could give me one single sentence of magic. Because there is none! However, I accidentally, found a book titled "Success Habits" by Dean Graziosi. I like his definition of Success. It is not all about knowledge (although we often say knowledge is power), but it is an "habit." If it is an "habit," then training a good habit should be easier at one's younger age than older. Does this make sense?
If Dean Graziosi's theory has a practical truth, then we all should take a good look at this topic. In order for all of you to comprehend what I am going to illustrate as a sample model that we have adopted for training our granddaughter bbE, I would invite you all to be open minded for the time being, and use our example for your reference only (Note: We are not giving any advice here).
Here are some trainings that we have experimented on this little girl who is now 11 month old:
1) Training the child to have a habit of being confident and independent: Letting herself to eat her own food ("Don't feed her."). We also train her to have an ability of self exploring and learning:
2) Training the child to have an habit of having curiosity and interest in varies fields:
3) Training the child to have a habit of touching the reality - Letting her to participate housework:
4) Training the child to have a habit of having a sense of teamwork - joining sports, group actives, and going to outdoor playground, etc. (Actives could form an habit of loving people and nature) :
Let us remember that success does not just come from a good seminar but a good habit that requires training. We wish every child on earth is healthy, bright and happy.
Until nexttime, best wishes to you all. This is Daniel Nie with DanNie Studio.
