Chapter 40 4 Crocodile Killer - The Method Matters
The second chapter 64 crocodile killer - the method is very important
"On the banks of the Amazon River, whenever the dry season comes, groups of zebras come to the river to drink water. At this time, the animal killer crocodiles will take the opportunity to prey..." Zhao Zhongxiang's voice filled the living room, and the child stared at the picture intently.

A group of zebras are going to cross the river, but there are many crocodiles in the river, waiting for them to step into the river.Zebras must move carefully and in groups, not to fall over the edge, which is even more dangerous.When the zebras crossed the river in an orderly manner, no crocodile dared to hide under the water, because the hooves of the zebras were also weapons. Hundreds of zebras stepped on them, and the iron-clad crocodiles were crushed.So the crocodile can only wait on the sides, waiting for weak or shambling prey to appear.

When a zebra accidentally stepped on the ground and fell into the water, the crocodile would immediately bite its neck and deal a fatal blow to the prey.But the teeth of crocodiles can’t be torn like those of lions and tigers. They can’t fix their prey in the water, so they can only work together: a group of crocodiles bite the zebra from different directions, and then one of them starts to spin, like a ship in the water It rotates like a propeller, and holds the prey in its mouth until it unscrews a piece of meat, thus eating a prey!
Crocodiles are not good at tearing, but they can find a way to eat meat that suits them.This is the survival wisdom of animals, and it also teaches children a vivid survival lesson: to find a method that suits you, you can't be dead-headed.This revelation is also valuable for educators and parents!

When a child is not good at dancing, don't encourage him to participate in dance competitions, that is to find a blow; when the child's physique is mediocre, don't force him to participate in sports competitions...exploit the child's strengths.Education is also about methods.

The famous educator Carl Witt has his own educational methods.His advice to parents is: We can't let children grow up in an environment of blame, but we can't let them soak in praise all day long.

One day, Carl Witt took his son to a friend's house to attend a party. At this time, his son had been widely read because of his extraordinary intelligence.A visitor who is good at mathematics tried to test Serena Witt with suspicion.Karl Witt agreed, but he asked the guest not to praise his son too much, no matter what little Witt answered.

The guest gave Serena Witt three math problems in a row, but he was more and more surprised by Serena Witt's cleverness.And each question can be completed by more than two different methods.At this time, the guest could not help but began to praise Little Witt, and the old Witt quickly changed the subject, so that the guest remembered the agreement between the two.

But the guest was very excited, and came up with a more difficult problem to "difficult" Little Witt: "You think about this problem again. This problem was finally solved by a famous mathematician after thinking about it for three days. I dare not Make sure you can do it."

However, within half an hour, Little Witt shouted: "It's done."

"Impossible." The guest said and walked over.

In fact, the guest had to say with praise: "What a genius, then you are better than a great mathematician!" Old Witt quickly took over and said: "You are overwhelmed, because my son has been studying mathematics at school for half a year. So I have a lot of experience in mathematics."

Only then did the guest understand Old Witt's intention, nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

Don't think Carl Witt is too strict with children. In fact, he is very much in favor of appreciation education.It’s just that he believes that praise should not be too much or too high, and children should not be overheated. Too much praise will give children the illusion that they either think they are better than anyone else, or gradually form pressure to do it for praise.

Witt Sr.'s ways were apt for his gifted son.For a child with good aptitude and talent, the most important thing he lacks is the praise of others, so his father has to help him keep those flood of praise aside; however, for a child with average talent and aptitude, they need The encouragement of others is not only the encouragement of parents, but also the encouragement from outsiders. At this time, father can not only prevent others from praising the child, but also thank others for giving the child great encouragement.

When the child encounters difficulties, the information that the father most needs to convey is how to solve it, that is, to teach the method.Whether it is studying or dealing with interpersonal relationships, in the end, problems arise because they have not found a way.When dad is teaching the method, he should also pay attention to the method: don't say the answer directly, but instruct the child to figure it out by himself.
