How to cultivate children's independent thinking ability?

Independent thinking is more important than acquiring knowledge. Parents should always give priority to cultivating their children's ability to think and judge independently, rather than acquiring professional knowledge. Knowledge can be obtained anytime and anywhere, and once the thinking habit is solidified, it will accompany the child for a lifetime and is difficult to detect.

Looking at those people who have made outstanding contributions in the world, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are good at observing and have the ability to think independently. I believe many parents are aware of the importance of independent thinking, but how to cultivate their children's ability? How to turn it into a seed, take root in the child's body and take root in the right soil? Today, Malaysia tells you how to cultivate children's independent thinking ability through common cases in life.

At dinner, Guoguo talked about some things he did at school today. It is this particularly interesting little daily thing that has caused me a lot of thinking.

Guoguo school stipulates to collect waste products one day a week. Today is the waste recycling day of their class. Usually fruits are put in a big box, and many students' waste products are also put in his box. Their class is on the third floor. They want to take this big box down and put it on the first floor, but it is too big and heavy for one person to carry.

The fruit wobbled, pushed and pulled downstairs, and accidentally fell. Just then, a miracle happened, and the big box actually slid down the stairs from the third floor to the second floor.

Guoguo was frightened and thought he had made a big mistake. He hurried to the second floor to check and found that the box was intact and nothing spilled. Guoguo also forgot the pain when he wrestled, and squatted at the edge of the stairs to "study" and came to two conclusions:

The first is that the box can be "moved" downstairs in this way; The second is to be glad that the box is tightly sealed, otherwise it will fall apart.

After drawing these "scientific conclusions", I feel that this autumn is too valuable. In order to test his idea, he put the box away and gave it a gentle push at a certain angle. As a result, there is no doubt that the big box "arrived" on the first floor safely.

Guo Guo told his classmates this "magic" method and personally "taught the experience": first, let them check whether the box is closed tightly. If it is closed tightly, he will show his classmates how to make the box slide down from a certain angle.

The students are all very excited to play the game of rolling boxes. They all praise the fruit for being smart and coming up with such a good idea. However, in the process of sliding the box, some children did not strictly follow the requirements of the fruit, and the contents were scattered all over the floor. Although it was cleaned up with everyone's help, it took a lot of time.

After the story was finished, Guoguo excitedly asked me, "Mom, do you think I am smart?"

I said, "Well, it's good, but it has nothing to do with your ability to discover and think, and it has nothing to do with being smart." Also, you are optimistic, you don't feel pain when you fall, and you find a pattern, which is great. The most commendable thing is that you are willing to share your experiences and happiness with your children, which is also very good. Newton was hit by an apple and discovered gravity; Guoguo fell down and discovered the secret of carrying big boxes. How nice! "

Looking at the fruit, I am a little proud, in a good mood and active in thinking. I then asked him, "How did you do it when you shared it with your classmates?"

He said: "I summed it up myself and told my classmates two points: first, the box must be sealed tightly, and second, the angle should be appropriate."

"Oh, you told your classmates that the box should be sealed, so why did some classmates spill their things? "

"At the beginning, I checked. Too many people didn't care later. Everyone just thought about fun and didn't pay attention. "

"Because this didn't pay attention, what consequences did it end up with?"

"Don't mention it, the boxes are scattered and everyone is busy cleaning up the garbage."

"What about time?"

"This is a waste of time. What was originally a minute turned into ten minutes. Be sure to let them seal the box strictly next time, otherwise it will be too much trouble. "

"If it is really great! I see why the box is sealed. But what is the angle? I still don't know. "

"I don't know what angle it is, but I can slide down against the edge of the first staircase and the second staircase." Guoguo said with lively gesticulations.

I said, "If you say so, I will understand. How did you explain it to your classmates at the scene? "

Guo Guo said, "I didn't explain it very much. I just told them it would be slippery when I gestured at the stairs. They all understand. "

I said, "Look, at the scene, you can talk while demonstrating. It is easy for everyone to understand, but it is hard for me to understand if you tell it to me without a live demonstration, so you must express it clearly and accurately, such as' sliding against the edge of the first staircase and the second staircase' or telling me how many degrees, so that I can easily understand, otherwise it is easy to understand mistakes. "

Guoguo pondered for a moment and said, "That's right."

I went on to say, "To tell you the truth, you have done a very good job in this matter. You can not only sum up your own experience and find the rules, but also share it with your classmates and promote this experience. Let's save time and effort and have fun. You did a good job. There is an old saying that' run around with tricks and see if you can find them'. As long as you have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering and a little brain that is diligent in thinking, any bad thing can be turned into a good thing. " Guoguo was glad to hear my praise.

Einstein said: It is more important to learn to think and judge independently than to acquire knowledge. People who have no good habits of independent and critical thinking will lose the greatest pleasure in life. Parents should always give priority to cultivating their children's ability to think and judge independently, rather than acquiring professional knowledge. Knowledge can be obtained anytime and anywhere, and once the thinking habit is solidified, it will accompany the child for a lifetime and is difficult to detect.

Independent thinking ability refers to the ability to analyze and judge things without the influence of external factors, which is the only way to obtain independent personality. Cultivating independent thinking ability sometimes requires technical methods, such as daring to doubt everything.

Finding the secret of the box is the process of his independent thinking. Parents should encourage and cultivate this ability from an early age, which has a far-reaching impact on their children's future development.

Let children learn to think independently. First, encourage children to express their views and build self-confidence. Secondly, we should protect children's curiosity and cultivate their thirst for knowledge; Finally, parents should ask their children more enlightening questions, so that children can develop the habit of independent thinking instead of simply giving answers.

Independent thinking is a person's "inner core".
