Mindset determines IQ

 　　Mindset determines intelligence.

　　Parents should teach their children "organized and structured thinking." This should be done

　　by focusing on answering children's various "why" questions, rather than on excessive pep talks. This involves:

　　children discovering and asking questions

　　; guiding children to observe and providing correct explanations

　　; taking children to observe and verify conclusions

　　; deepening understanding and strengthening memory. Therefore,

　　guide children through the small things in life.

　　The first step to intelligence is having the mindset to see, ask, and solve problems, even when most people are taking life for granted.

　　Discovering problems fosters curiosity, improves observation skills and attention span;

　　asking questions requires children to remember, judge, and analyze the characteristics of things;

　　solving problems requires the ability to connect and analyze, going beyond mere phenomena to make more associations, developing abstract thinking, imagination, and logical reasoning skills.

　　No matter how naive or ridiculous a child's question may seem, don't dismiss it casually or impatiently say, "That's just how it is, there's no why."

　　Every moment in life is an opportunity to train thinking skills; in our lives, there are many times when "no book is better than a book."

　　Children's abilities to associate, analyze, and apply knowledge are far stronger than we imagine!

　　Letting children truly see and experience the charm of the world ignites their thirst for knowledge even more.

　　Even when reading picture books, I bring the knowledge to life through real-life examples, rather than simply reading and forgetting.

　　In this process, children are filled with enthusiasm for knowledge, learning, and science. Therefore, there's so much parents can do to help their children become smarter: besides answering questions seriously, we should encourage them to ask even more questions.

　　I firmly believe that teaching children knowledge is important, but giving them a motivating way of thinking is even more meaningful.

　　The truly useful yet challenging approach is to be a "leading parent" who learns and grows alongside their children, even learning more themselves.

　　How can you answer your child's questions and inspire them to ask questions if you yourself don't strive and learn?

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

Five-degree slanted characters (Part 2)

  　　Chi Zhoumu played three games of League of Legends in a row. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out, he had to shift his focus to prevent himself from being trapped by his chaotic thoughts. After the three games, Chi Zhoumu stared at the computer for a long time, lost in thought. "No, I have to go out for a walk and relax," Chi Zhoumu thought to himself. 　　 　　When Chi Zhoumu went out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streetlights emitted a quiet, dim yellow light, and only a few people were running on the playground. The moonlight was faint, casting overlapping shadows, and the road was deserted. He went to the pavilion, sat down on a bench, and lazily admired the reflection of the library lights on the lake. Two or three couples were scattered on the small island in the lake. "It's hard to find such peace and harmony in the bustling city," he thought. 　　 　　After sitting for about twenty minutes, just as he was ...

Looking up at the starry sky

     The night is deep, and I can't fall asleep alone. I open the window and see the twinkling stars, but are you the brightest one?     I remember the first time I saw you was in my final year of junior high. I stood nervously behind you, watching my classmates register one by one, and my name was left unassigned. Yes. I was timid and cowardly, and because I didn't have the money for tuition, I didn't dare to speak to you. I just stood there, standing there.     Later, you noticed me, smiled slightly, and asked, "Have you registered?" I shook my head. You asked again, "Are you having trouble?" I nodded. "Come with me!" When I took out my blankets from a corner of the school, I saw tears in your eyes; and I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. You took the blankets, took my hand, and walked towards the dormitory building.     I've always thought of myself as a stubborn child, someone no one could melt the thick ice in my hea...
