A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 38 2 Shake the burden and reveal the plot, the child falls in love with reading
In 1805, a baby boy was born in a poor family in Denmark.His father was a shoemaker, his mother was a washerwoman, and his grandmother was old and feeble, and often went out to beg to subsidize the family.It was in such a family environment that the little boy later became the world's fairy tale king - Andersen.

Andersen didn't have any friends of the same age in his childhood, and he often played alone.Seeing that Andersen was alone, his father planned to build him a space of his own, so he cleaned up the small side room where old things were piled up: he hung all kinds of interesting pictures on the wall, and drew a landscape picture on the door panel; He put all the storybooks and sheet music on wooden shelves, and put some handmade figures in the windows.Of course, almost everything is old bric-a-brac, but in this room Andersen made up a strange little story about everything, plus his father told him all kinds of things. Stories, his fairytale talents began to accumulate gradually.

What Andersen's father did for his son could hardly be called "education" in the strict sense. He just arranged a hut for the child according to his own ability, without high-end toys or encyclopedias in it.The father gave the child everything he could provide, and told the child the stories he had heard from the countryside, thus cultivating a fairy tale king.

The same story happened in the home of the German writer Goethe. Goethe's father always took him to read books and dramas. Goethe stood on a chair and recited his poems when he was very young.

Andersen's father and Goethe's father have one thing in common, that is, they have read a lot of books and know a lot of things first.And this is what fathers in our Chinese families do not have.

Many people are good at everything in the workplace, but when they come home, they become "don't know" dads.

"Dad, I don't know how to do this question, can you teach me?"

"do not know."

"Dad, I want to read some world classics, can you help me choose?"

"do not know."

……

Why does the father happen to not know the questions the child asks?Because dad doesn't study.No one is born to know something, only by learning, and if you don’t know, just learn. This is the truth we often tell our children, but we never learn. When recalling the books we read recently, many people will It goes back to the last century.

This is also the reason why the father lets the child study in the house, but the child does not like to go.Dad doesn't study, he goes home every day to rest, why should I study?When the child sees his father resting, he will inevitably feel unbalanced, so he regards studying as a kind of punishment.If the father likes reading very much, the child will think that reading is a good thing.

The famous cultural scholar Yi Zhongtian is a person who loves to read, and he also has his own coup to educate his daughter-to punish you not to study.Many children didn't know how happy they were when they heard that they didn't have to go to school; but Yi Zhongtian's daughter was so anxious to admit her mistake when she heard that she was not allowed to go to school.Why is reading so attractive?A learned dad who loves to read is the answer.

In Yi Zhongtian's bookcase, there are many good books to read.Yi Zhongtian himself was deeply involved in it, reading every day to forget his worries, and his daughter followed suit.Slowly, the child fell in love with reading.

Many people's literary enlightenment books are books of family members or relatives. It is conceivable how much positive stimulation a family with a large collection of books can give children.If there have never been any decent books in the house, children will certainly not get close to books.

Some fathers know that they want to show their children a reading show, so they pretend to study after the children come home, and watch their own TV when the children are not at home.Although this has a certain effect on the child, it has little positive impact on the father. Why not use the time for showing off to read a few good books seriously?
Some people say that the current book market is too chaotic, and we don't know how to choose books to read.In fact, dads who care about financial management can read books on financial management, and dads who are concerned with sports can read articles about sports. There are some good books and well-written articles in every industry, which must be worth learning for dads .

After reading a book, share your reading experience with your child, not only for the father to summarize his own reading experience, but also for the child to roughly understand the plot of the story.A father who is good at publicity can tell his children the most interesting things in the book, and let the children read it by themselves.Whether it is Jin Yong's martial arts novels or Qiong Yao's idol dramas, they are all good reading materials for children.
