"What's the use of learning this?! It's a waste of money" It's risky for grandparents to send their children to interest classes

While sending my younger son to the modeling course, I was in the parent waiting area and watched through the glass as the teacher walked the children through the classroom. The grandfathers next to me gathered together and muttered. : "What's the use of learning this? It's a waste of money, walking around, I don't know what the cost is?"

"That's right, one class costs two to three hundred yuan, isn't it just walking? Look at me, I can do it too." An old man even took a model step in a funny way.

A group of people laughed when they saw it. They ignored the teacher at the front desk who asked him to stop. The teacher shook his head: "The family atmosphere is like this. It is useless for the teacher to teach hard here every day. Send the children to learn talents. This is , it’s weird if the children learn well.”

I have a friend, Teacher Wang, who opens a children’s talent training center in a store along the street in the community. The entire parent waiting area downstairs is filled with books, my friend. Teacher Wang originally planned that while waiting for their children, parents could quietly read a book here and cultivate themselves. But in fact, most of the time it was grandparents who came here, making loud noises and occupying seats to sleep. Once, several of them actually played poker, which made Teacher Wang so angry that he shook his head.

Be very careful when asking your grandparents to help you pick up and drop off your interest classes.

I remembered that when my eldest son was in the top class, he was obsessed with learning guzheng, so he gritted his teeth and signed up for one-on-one lessons. He also spent a lot of money to buy guzheng, and ignored his father-in-law. My mother-in-law said there was no place to play the guzheng.

When I was in interest classes, I would send music by myself whenever I had time, and I would sign up for the music salon of the training institution whenever I had the opportunity. Seeing him talking about guzheng with gusto, I secretly rejoiced. Prince guzheng was like a star rising in my heart. . . . . .

But I was really busy with work in those years, and when I couldn't spare time, I had to ask my parents-in-law to help pick up and drop off my interest classes. One time, when I came home, my son told me: "Mom, my grandparents said, I don't know why you want to play guzheng for me. It's useless to learn it. It's better to learn to read and write. Grandpa Little Rabbit is also useless." "It's very difficult to learn this."

I was shocked when I heard it. After taking lessons for more than ten times, the novelty of my son's musical instrument training disappeared, and boredom was unavoidable. When I communicated with the teacher these few times, the teacher said that she didn’t take her studies seriously, and even told me that she should give more gifts when she had time.

Later, due to various reasons, my son’s guzheng career came to an end temporarily. Now the guzheng he bought with a huge sum of money is still placed in the corner of our balcony, covered with a thick layer of dust. .

Once, when I was chatting with my eldest son about this matter, my son criticized me with a look of resentment: "Mom, if you had helped me to persevere, I would have played the guzheng very well now. Like our classmates, they are now level 10 in piano.”

Yes, sometimes it is easier for parents to give up on learning talents than for their children. Because it is easier to give up than persist, there is a bottleneck period in learning any talent. Children will want to give up when they encounter difficulties, but can parents guide them before making a decision?

When my youngest son was in the first class of kindergarten, he decided on a whim that he must learn to walk as a model. I secretly made up my mind and found a time that was convenient for me to pick him up and drop him off. Unless I had to, I would drop him off by myself every time and tell him in advance. Son, if you learn this, your grandparents will definitely tell you, baby, is it useless to learn this? Just tell grandpa, I like this. Grandpa and grandma, don’t you like your grandson to be handsome?

Maybe it’s because I got vaccinated early. Sure enough, my youngest son didn’t care what his grandparents said. He would seriously say to his grandparents: “Grandpa and grandma, what are you doing in life? Just pay more attention to me. As for my study, my parents will arrange it.

”

As a result, my grandparents no longer said anything, but sometimes, when I saw my son telling a few jokes when he was practicing walking at home, I made a face at my son and thought it was nothing. I didn’t hear it. Later, when my son was invited to participate in a catwalk event, I would bring my parents-in-law and look at the confident and generous grandson on the stage. In fact, they applauded louder than anyone else.

No, Yesterday, I was invited to participate in a weekend brand children's clothing conference. When my grandson put on makeup, had her hair done, and put on matching clothes, and stepped onto the runway step by step to the rhythm of the music, her parents-in-law laughed happily. The flowers were blooming, and I heard my mother-in-law, who couldn't read a word, excitedly say to my father-in-law: "It's a pity that taking pictures is not allowed here. All mobile phones have to be turned in. Otherwise, I will have to take more photos. You helped me upload them to the WeChat family group." I want everyone to come and take a look, my precious grandson is so handsome. ”

Hearing this, I felt happy. Part of it was my son’s confidence and joy of showing himself on stage, which infected me, and part of it was because of my son’s useless interest in learning to model. , finally got the approval of his grandparents. I couldn’t help but think of my thrifty parents-in-law, who kept mumbling because I bought a few sets of performance clothes for my son only to wear them once.

Fortunately, I was the one who picked up and dropped off the entire journey by myself. Fortunately, I gave my son a vaccination against the cold water. Fortunately, in the end, I pulled the whole family into my own trench.

In this era. , on the basis that children like to learn and are willing to learn, while choosing courses that suit them, we must do our best. Parents must take care of themselves and never let grandparents who do not agree with their children's learning. , and please be sure to bring your grandparents to your camp first, otherwise the child will be thrown cold water on you and regret it too late.
