"The Big Bang Theory" has been aired for 8 seasons, and the talented physicist Sheldon is deeply loved by the audience. Shelton has an IQ comparable to Einstein and a child-like EQ. The two combined together often produce hilarious and hilarious plots.
In the process of chasing drama, I often have questions: when a child is a child, most people do think that they are the chosen ones. As they grow up, the edges and corners are gradually flattened and become a member of the "ordinary normal people", even if they are geniuses. Don, don’t you experience any setbacks when you grow up? How does he maintain a pure and innocent heart?
Fortunately, "The Big Bang Theory" has a derivative drama "Little Sheldon", from which we can glimpse the growth of a gifted child, and the educational methods of Little Sheldon’s parents are more worthy of learning and reflection from most Chinese parents. .
In the play, the education of Sheldon's parents can be summarized into three words: guidance, respect and defense.
"Little Shelton" intercepted Sheldon's life after the age of 9. Shelton had to skip grades and enter high school because of his superior IQ, and the junior high school curriculum could not satisfy his learning speed. The nine-year-old child entered high school and was incompatible with the surrounding environment. Shelton did not have a friend. Shelton's mother was very worried about this and encouraged Shelton to make some friends on the way to send Shelton to school.
In order not to worry about his parents, Sheldon tried to make friends according to his mother's words. Although the process was a bit tortuous, he did it and became good friends with Tam who also likes Rockets.
From "The Big Bang Theory", we know that although Sheldon is a strange flower in this society, he is incompatible with the maverick, but he is not a cold and unsympathetic person when he gets along with friends. He will borrow Give money to friends, roommates miss each other when they are on business trips, and when friends are sad, they will give their own unique comfort.
In "Little Sheldon", we only know that little Sheldon has no friends since he was a child. The neighbor’s fat boy of the same age frightened him with chicken, and he disdains playing with his brother and sister, but Sheldon enjoys this There is no loneliness of friends, so without the guidance of Sheldon's parents, if Sheldon take the initiative to make friends, it would be difficult to make friends, because people have no such awareness at all, let alone similar actions.
Therefore, although Sheldon is a genius, far superior to his parents in knowledge and methodology, the guidance his parents gave him is crucial to his growth. It was because of the guidance of his parents that little Sheldon first tasted the happiness brought by friendship. After growing up, Sheldon was far away from his family and was only suitable for mitosis (before meeting Amy). Friendship with several friends was an important part of his love life. It was not that Sheldon took the initiative to make friends when he was nine years old. I am afraid that when she grows up, Shelton will not get along with friends.
Next, we look at respect.
Sheldon’s mother Mary believes in Christianity and prays devoutly before eating, but Sheldon advocates science and does not believe in the existence of God. She always argues with the pastor of the church and deliberately prevents the pastor from coming to the stage. In one episode, Little Sheldon said that she would study various religions. His mother was ecstatic when she saw that Sheldon was interested in religion, but in the end Little Sheldon still decided not to believe in her mother's religion and asked:
When I saw this passage, I don’t know how many viewers were as moved as I was.
Although Shelton is only nine years old, Shelton's mother has treated him as an independent adult, respecting his children's beliefs, supporting their children's hobbies, and taking care of their children's feelings.
This is easier said than done. Just look at how many levers on the Internet now leave messages when others disagree with yourself: "Is it the only one who thinks of Balabala".
Sheldon's parents are not only guiding and respecting him, but also defending him more often because of the particularity of little Sheldon.
When accused, my mother went back unceremoniously.
Seeing that little Sheldon’s suggestion of launching the recovery rocket had not received a response, his father immediately took the family and ran to Houston.
And these are how many Chinese parents can't do.
Chinese parents are usually accustomed to treating their children as their own accessories, and they like to cultivate "obedient" children. Interfering in the lives of their children since childhood, how many people have been peeked in their diaries when they were young, and they don't want anyone to know the embarrassment to be displayed in front of their relatives as a joke. Even after they become adults, they still have to be interfered by their parents in their work and mate selection requirements.
Like Shelton, Jiang Fangzhou was once described as a "gifted girl". He started writing at the age of 7 and published books at the age of 9, and was exceptionally admitted by Tsinghua University. Once he graduated, he was the deputy editor of New Weekly. Jiang Fangzhou, whose life experience is enviable, has a gloomy childhood. In a certain issue of "Round Table Pie", she said that she saved up the pocket money given by her mother and picked up food when she was hungry, just to help Her mother showed how good she is.
In addition, Jiang Fangzhou said in the interview that he was isolated in high school and went to university alone. Unlike Sheldon, he didn't lack the company of friends when he was growing up.
Recently, Jiang Fangzhou’s sharing of the pleasing personality in the "Wonderful Flower Conference" has aroused a lot of discussion among netizens. Everyone knows that this child who has been a "child of someone else’s family" has not developed a self-arrogant personality that is often pleasing. It is the character that always pleases others.
The reason is that Jiang Fangzhou said that she has carried the expectations of too many people since she was a child, which made her live in the eyes of others, dare not live up to these people’s expectations, dare not truly express her thoughts, and be afraid of herself. Not liked.
And why is Jiang Fangzhou like this? You can see one thing Jiang Fangzhou often experienced when he was a child.
Although Jiang Fangzhou is a genius, he is trapped in a genius. Jiang Fangzhou, who has lived in such an environment since he was a child, has difficulty facing his true self, but his parents have not come out to guide him in time like Sheldon's parents.
From the perspective of Sheldon and Jiang Fangzhou, how different childhood lives have affected people. People like Sheldon are scarce. When most people grow up, they have become a pleasing personality like Jiang Fangzhou. When we were parents, we hope to get some inspiration from "Little Shelton" in educating our children. It is not easy to be the parents of a gifted child!
