Principle 1: The Aquarium Principle

Goldfish kept in a tank will only reach a certain length no matter how long they are kept. But if they are put in a pond, they can grow a few more centimeters.

Similarly, in educating young children, parents cannot keep their children in the "fish tank" they built for them all their lives. Give them their own free space to develop, and limit the imposition of your personal influences and opinions on them.

Principle 2: The Wolf Principle

Because wolves are always interested in exploring and not afraid to experience new things, they have strong survival abilities in the wild, and are skilled at hunting and detecting danger.

Therefore, to foster strong learning ability in young children, it is necessary to arouse their curiosity and love of exploration.

Principle 3: South Wind Effect


The south wind blows in the summer, just a gentle breeze makes people take off some clothes to cool down.The north wind blows in winter, the more fierce and stormy it is, the more clothes people wear to resist it.

The same is true of educating children. The louder you criticize children, the less they will listen. On the contrary, if you are tolerant, sympathetic, and use gentle, rational words, they will understand the problem and make progress.

Principle 4: The Robert Rosenthal Effect

Robert Rosenthal is an American psychologist, in 1966 he conducted an interesting experiment on expected achievement for students. He went to a random class and randomly selected a few names from the class list, then he gave the homeroom teacher this list of “Most Promising Students”. 8 months later Rosenthal and his assistant returned to the class, and the miracle happened, all the children on the list became the class’s outstanding students.

The secret to improving the academic performance of those students is actually very simple, it is because they have been cared for and appreciated more by their teachers.

So, it can be concluded: what you expect your child to become, your child will have the ability to become that person. Every child can become a genius if they are trusted and expected properly.
