It seems that Dr. Yang himself is a gentle university professor with profound knowledge, but he teaches people quite simple life truths.
Dr. Yang mentioned that in the United States, China friends often ask him, "My child is good in all aspects, but how can I make him better?" Yang always says to each other, "Don't * * have more children, but * * * have fewer children-volunteer more! 」
Yang's parenting secret? "Happy"
The outstanding performance of the three children often makes many people wonder if Yang has a set of "parenting tips", but what Dr. Yang values most is the "happiness" of the children: "It is not easy to make the children happy, but I think this is more important than anything else. Children will face a lot of pressure from environment, friends and school when they grow up. Therefore, it is a very important ability to let children use emotional intelligence to adjust their emotions and make themselves happy, instead of just looking at their intellectual performance.
"I think every child is' versatile' and a combination of many aspects, so we can't just look at whether the child has homework or a single level, but grow up in many aspects and make achievements; Achievement helps children to have positive emotions, so how to guide children and cultivate interest is the homework of every parent. 」

I think it is very important to start work, so I like children to play more and read less. 」
Yang went on to say, "These are also the thoughts of Montessori and Waldorf.

Not only can you be flexible, but you can also educate your children to be diligent and bring out the parts of your brain that are not available at ordinary times. 」
Yang and share more happily, "cooking is also very good. The second son is looking forward to cooking and teaching him some recipes. I'll tell him it's confidential! Don't tell anyone! Children are cute. They think that when they receive a treasure, they will not tell anyone. Now he's grown up, cooking at MIT. He always wins prizes. He always tells people "this is our secret recipe", haha. 」
With the development of the times and the progress of society, more and more elderly people's understanding and pursuit of happiness in their later years h
