Chapter 220 Discussion of Educational Philosophy

Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan sat on the sofa in the living room, with their children's report cards and promotional materials for various interest classes on the coffee table in front of them. They looked serious as they were seriously discussing their children's future.

"Yanan, I think we should let our children learn more practical skills, such as programming or financial knowledge, so that they can be competitive in the society in the future." Ruan Jianan expressed his opinion first, and his eyes revealed his concern and expectations for the child's future.

Lin Yanan frowned slightly, gently picked up the child's report card, and said, "Jian'an, I think the child is still young, and we can't put so much pressure on him so early. You see, his Chinese composition this time is very imaginative. Maybe he has a talent for literary creation. We should first discover his interests and talents, and then cultivate them in a targeted manner."

Ruan Jianan nodded, crossing his arms over his chest: "You have a point, but society is developing so fast now. If we don't plan ahead, our children may fall behind in the future. Just like the child next door, Wang's family didn't learn any special skills since childhood, and now it's difficult for them to find a job."

Lin Yanan thought for a while, put down the report card, looked at Ruan Jianan and said, "I know you are worried, but we can't just look at the present, we have to consider the child's physical and mental health and all-round development. We can take him to participate in more activities, such as science and technology exhibitions and art exhibitions, and observe what he is interested in. We can't blindly enroll him in a bunch of classes he doesn't like, otherwise he will hate studying. Besides, the child is now in a stage of strong curiosity, and we must give him enough freedom to explore the world."

Ruan Jianan sighed and leaned back on the sofa. "Well, okay, let's observe for a while. However, we can't delay it too long, after all, the other children are working hard. I just hope that he will have more choices in the future and not miss some good development opportunities because of our current negligence."

Cultivate good character

"In addition to learning and skills, I think it is more important to cultivate good moral character in children." Lin Yanan said seriously, her eyes full of determination.

Ruan Jianan agreed and sat up straight. "That's right. Honesty, kindness, and responsibility are the foundation of a child's future success. No matter how talented a person is, if he has bad morals, he will not be recognized by society. Last time I saw a news report that said a top student was expelled from school for cheating. What a pity."

Lin Yanan went on to say: "We should set a good example for our children. At home, we should pay attention to our words and deeds so that our children will be influenced by them subtly. For example, we should be honest and trustworthy and do what we promised to our children. Also, we should abide by the rules and respect others in public."

"Also, children should be taught to respect others and learn to care for and help others. They should not just think about themselves but should have a team spirit. In the last group activity organized by the school, he had an unpleasant argument with his classmates because he was too self-centered." Ruan Jianan recalled with a frown.

Lin Yanan nodded with a worried look on her face: "Yes, we should also encourage children to participate in more charity activities, so that they can learn to be grateful and give back to society. For example, visit the elderly in nursing homes, or participate in environmental protection volunteer activities. Let them know that their small contributions may bring great help and happiness to others."

Ruan Jianan said thoughtfully: "Yes, moral education cannot be just a verbal talk, but should be experienced and understood in practice. We should also communicate more with school teachers and pay attention to the moral growth of children together."

The couple discussed for a long time. Although they still had different opinions on some details, their goal was the same, which was to create a better future for their child and make him a talented, moral and happy person. The moonlight outside the window poured into the living room, as if it was also quietly listening to their deep expectations for their child. The clock on the wall ticked, and time passed quietly in their communication, but their thinking and planning for their child's education never stopped.
