Chapter 72 [072] Interest is the best teacher?

Today, it was rare for Su Qingchun's family to have a happy dinner together. After the meal, Su Qingchun took the initiative to help Huang Xiaopei wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen, while Huang Xiaopei was responsible for checking Su Zixuan's extracurricular homework.

At 9:[-], Su Zixuan finally had only a set of practice papers left for his homework, so Huang Xiaopei said, "Xuanxuan, you can go to your room and do this set of papers. Mom wants to talk to Dad about something."

Su Zixuan had long been thinking about when her parents would discuss the matter of her calligraphy class. This time, she heard her mother said that she was going to discuss matters with her father, and she thought that this must be the matter, so she immediately packed her things and went back to the room .

When she was carrying her things back to the room, she happened to see Su Qingchun coming out of the kitchen.

She said very cleverly: "Dad, Mom has something to do with you."

After speaking, she gave him a look.

Su Qingchun, who had just finished washing the dishes, was taken aback when his daughter told him that his wife suddenly came to him. He reflected for a while, but at this moment his heart was beating, thinking: "What is Xiaopei looking for at this time?"

Because of what happened in the hospital today, Su Qingchun hasn't explained to Huang Xiaopei yet. Just now when he was washing the dishes, he had been thinking about how to tell his wife about it, but he didn't expect that when he was thinking about how to tell his wife about it But now his son and wife came to him on their own initiative, which made him very nervous.

He said "Oh", quickly took off the apron on his body, and walked to the sofa in the living room. He chose the person next to Huang Xiaopei to sit on the sofa.

Seeing that his father was going to talk to his mother about the cram school, Su Zixuan was secretly happy, and returned to his room with a smile.

After sitting down, Su Qingchun was a little nervous, and he took the initiative to ask: "Xiao Pei, what do you want from me?"

"What else can I do? Didn't you tell me that your daughter only needs to take calligraphy classes for one month?"

Hearing this, Su Qingchun heaved a sigh of relief, and replied with a smile: "Oh, hehe... yeah, you see, I almost forgot about it when I was washing the dishes."

Huang Xiaopei said: "You usually don't care much about your daughter's cram school, so I will forget about it. You are busy with work anyway."

"I told you before, since you don't care, it's best not to get involved too much, but you mentioned this matter to me again today, then I will talk to you carefully, so as to save you from those bad thoughts affected children."

"What bad thoughts do I have?" Su Qingchun wondered, "I also respect the child's wishes."

"Isn't the ridiculous theory that interest is the best teacher a bad idea?"

"Why is this a bad idea? Isn't it a fact? Everyone should think that 'interest is the best teacher'. What's wrong with that?"

"That's good, since you said that, I just use Mr. Lu Xun's words to answer you, 'It's always been like this, so it's right?'"

"What do you mean?" Su Qingchun asked, "You don't agree with this sentence, do you?"

"Yes, not only do I not agree, I even think that this sentence has harmed many children."

"Why?" Su Qingchun asked in surprise, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. If the child is interested, then respecting her choice will make learning easier. If you don't like it, what's the point of forcing her ah?"

"Okay, don't say anything else, let me explain from your daughter's personal experience. You said that interest is the best teacher, right?"

"Yup!"

"Then let me ask you, did my daughter want to learn the violin at the beginning, and did she stop arguing after a week?"

Huang Xiaopei's rhetorical question made Su Qingchun speechless.

Indeed, it was not Huang Xiaopei's wish for Su Zixuan to learn the violin, but her own choice.

One day, the whole family passed by the piano store and saw someone practicing inside. The child stopped and watched for a long time, then held his wife's hand and said he liked it and wanted to learn the violin.

"At that time, your daughter's eyes showed how much she liked the violin. At that time, I just took it as a child's joke and didn't pay attention. And you know that violin classes are very expensive, so at first I didn't want her to learn it." Huang Xiaopei said,

"But in the following time, I saw that she was very excited as long as there was a violin performance on TV, and she imitated the appearance of a violinist playing the piano on TV."

"Well, she liked the violin very much at that time, and she told me about it."

"Yeah, I remember that scene at that time was similar to the current scene. I was really fascinated to see her like that. I could see that she really liked it at the time, so I gritted my teeth and decided to help her realize the love she said."

"Yes, that's right!" Su Qingchun nodded.

"You also know the situation behind that. From her seriousness and enthusiasm at the beginning to her resistance two weeks later, the child has already lost her initial interest in the violin."

Huang Xiaopei said, "Later she actually told me that she was interested in piano."

"Ah? When did I tell you?"

"When? Isn't it when she went to the violin class for less than a month?"

"I haven't heard her say that."

"At that time, you worked overtime every day, and she didn't have time to talk to you if she wanted to."

"What then?"

"Later, hmph..." Huang Xiaopei said, "Could I change it for her later? I definitely won't."

"But if, as I told you, I firmly believed that interest is the best teacher, and she said she couldn't go to the violin class, I told her not to go and learn piano according to her interest, then maybe when, She would also say to me: 'Mom, I don't like the piano, I prefer so-and-so'."

"Let me tell you, what I said is not my imagination. This is what I know about your daughter. She is definitely like this. I can be sure of this. It is human instinct to like, but at the same time, it is also human to like the new and dislike the old. Instinct, this is not just your daughter, everyone is no exception."

Huang Xiaopei added, "Especially the child, she told you today that she likes this toy, we bought it home, and tomorrow when she sees another toy in someone else's hands, she will find that she seems to like other people's toys more, and the toy at home will be different." Throw it away and change."

"Look at the toys in our house. She didn't say she liked them when she bought them. She didn't play with them for a few days, and some of them got tired of the old ones after a few hours. Now you see, she threw them away a long time ago. to the side."

Su Qingchun heard that Huang Xiaopei's words seemed to have some truth, and he said weakly: "What you said seems to have some truth."

"But what you said is that if she is interested, she may lose interest after a while. I can understand, but if she doesn't like it from the beginning, then forcing her to do it, wouldn't that make her dislike it even more?"
