Some Chinese parents only care about their children’s grades. This made their children lose confidence (自信) little by little because of too much schoolwork. It’s a problem. Parents should find out their children’s interests and teach them some important skills (技能) they need. The skills make children confident, happy and clever.
Cooking, for example, is a good skill. Teaching a child to cook will help improve many of his other skills. Cooking needs patience and time. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking so he will learn to work hard and finish his job well. As a result, a well-cooked dinner will give him a lot of fun and confidence.
Give your child all the things like a broken radio or TV set to play with they will spend hours looking at them and trying to fix (修理) them. Your child might become an engineer when he grows up. This kind of activity is better than teaching a child to read a book. It teaches him to think and to use his mind. And that is more important.
