Chapter 13: The First Lesson in Life

Time flies, and with the passage of time, in the blink of an eye, the children of Lingxin Village have reached the age of education. Therefore, the patriarch An Xin adopted the opinions of the people, decided to set up a school, and appointed the former staff officer Huixin as his master, so that he could educate the children to read and write, so as to develop the education cause of Lingxin Village, and at the same time, by the way, to carry forward the glorious tradition and history and culture of Lingxin Village, so that the people can regain their cultural self-confidence.

Soon, it's time for the start of school. The children came to the school happily under the guidance of their parents.

After the Master Huixin arranged for them to be seated, he explained to the children and their parents why they should receive education and the benefits of receiving education, only to hear him politely say, "Parents, please be quiet, please listen to me. It's a pleasure to be here with you and to accompany your children here to listen to my talk, which is the first lesson in their lives. ”

As the old saying goes: there is no good and no disgusting body. It means that our hearts, like infants, have no distinction between good and evil, just like these children, whose hearts are as pure as a blank sheet of paper, so that they can only receive what their parents fill in for them. Therefore, as the parents of your children, you must first have the right attitude in order to educate your children well and make them grow up healthy and happy.

Another thing that I want you to understand is that children are actually educated before they even come here, and that is homeschooling. The family is the cradle of children's life, the first place where they receive education after birth, that is, the first school, so parents are the first teachers of their children, that is, the initiation teachers.

Family education is the starting point and the starting point of all other education, and its focus should be on moral education. As the parents of your children, you are a role model for your children to learn, so you must pay attention to family education in order to form a good family style, and with a good family style, you can cultivate children with good moral character and let them develop good behavior habits. As the saying goes: the family style is connected to the people's style, and the people's customs are integrated into the national style. Only in this way, when the children grow up, can they become hearts that contribute to our spiritual race.

Early childhood is the beginning of educational infection, and many of our basic abilities are formed at this age, such as language expression, basic movements and some living habits, etc., and character is also gradually formed. It can be seen that young children are the most rapidly developing period before the age of 5. As you all know, parents educate and influence their children anytime and anywhere with their words and deeds. This kind of education has a constant influence and demonstration on children's living habits, moral conduct, conversation and behavior, etc., and its subtle effect is quite large, accompanying them throughout their lives.

If the parents are irrational, emotional, and short-tempered, they will cause the child to blindly absorb their weaknesses. For example, when parents deal with some emergencies, they show panic and unpreparedness, which will have a negative impact on their children; However, if parents are calm and firm in the situation, their children will be calm and calm, which can play a positive role in the cultivation of their psychological quality.

Children, especially young children, lack the ability to distinguish between right and wrong rationally, but they have a keen sense of feeling. Grasp the specific daily trivial matters, help children understand and distinguish right and wrong in society, let them concretely feel the beautiful side of truth, goodness and beauty, and also experience the ugliness and meanness, which can help children enhance their sense of justice to promote good and eliminate evil, so as to resist the erosion of ugliness and darkness in the face of children's hearts.

In addition, parents should guide their children in a timely manner for the problems encountered in life, improve their children's ability to identify, and at the same time check their own behavior at any time, establish a positive image for their children, optimize their minds, and prevent them from making mistakes in the future. You know: a good homeschooling is a catalyst for optimizing your child's mind. The ancestral motto has a cloud: "After the cultivation of the body, the family is united, the family is united and then the country is governed, and the country is governed and then the world is peaceful." Condensed into seven words, it is "Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world".

I am entrusted by the patriarch An Xin, and my main task is to pass on the cultural knowledge of our Lingxin clan to the children, so that they can learn this knowledge and wisdom from an early age, so that it can be helpful for their lives in the future, and they will only make a difference when they grow up; In the process of preaching and teaching, I will do my best to help the children solve the problems they encounter in life.

Whether children can develop healthily in the future will depend on whether parents can guide and educate them correctly. Parents should not rely too much on me to discipline your children.

Now, I will pass on to you the "Sutra of Teaching Children" handed down by my ancestors: I hope it will be helpful for you in educating your children in the future.

Children who grow up in hostility are irritable and irritable.

"This is the 'godson scripture' left by the ancestors, and I hope that parents will gain something after listening to it." Huixin concluded.

After listening to Huixin's explanation, the parents immediately responded with warm applause, which lasted for a long time.

Seeing this, Huixin waved his hand to everyone, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Thank you for taking the time to come here today, please go back now, from tomorrow, the children will enter another new journey in their lives, which means the beginning of independent growth." Hui Xin finally said.

As soon as the words fell, the parents once again responded with warm applause. After that, the children went home happily under the leadership of their respective parents.

For the children, they have entered the school age of cognitive curiosity, and a new life journey has just begun, and they will spend a long time here, and learn a lot of useful knowledge and wisdom in life. This begins the shaping of personality, and at the same time, it will eventually converge into their own different personality traits with the influence of their different families.
