美国精神病学家乔治.E.凡林特说:“在家里或社会团体里干活的孩子不仅能获得能力和知识,并且会产生一种对他们的精神发展极为有利的感觉——感到自己是社会有价值的成员,而且,因为他们对自己的良好感觉,周围的人也会对他们有好感。”这位学者是从哈佛大学的一项研究中获得这一发现的。凡林特的研究表明:唯智力型的早期教育不是培养孩子成才的成功办法;家庭条件优裕而饭来张口衣来伸手的孩子成才者甚少。用这样方法培养出来的孩子往往有这种现象:儿时少年期表现为智力处于中上水平,有的甚至是佼佼者,称为“神童”,但以后,他们就黯然失色,无声无息了。这种例子是很多的。因为成才是一条漫长而艰苦的道路,除了智力是经常起作用的因素外,责任感也是经常起作用的因素。只有智力,没有责任感,如同飞机只有一个翅膀,怎能飞行呢?爱迪生从小为生活奔波培养起来的对生活的责任感;居里夫人炽烈的爱国热情和女性的强烈自信、自尊和自爱所激发起来的责任感;高尔基从小遭受的生活磨难所锤炼而成的坚强品格和社会责任感……这些都是他们在成功路上战胜无穷困难与挫折,不断进取的动力。 George E. van Rint, an American psychiatrist, said: “Children working at home or in social groups not only acquire the ability and knowledge to produce a feeling that is extremely beneficial to their spiritual development-feel themselves Socially valuable members, and, because of their good feelings about themselves, those around them would also like them. ”The scholar got this from a Harvard study. The study of Allinte shows that the only intelligence-based early education is not a successful way to cultivate children. Few children have good family conditions and come out with hands and mouths. Children born in this way tend to have this phenomenon: childhood adolescent performance of intelligence at the upper level, and some even outstanding, called “prodigy”, but later, they eclipsed, silent . This example is many. Because talent is a long and arduous journey, in addition to the fact that intelligence is often at work, responsibility is also a factor that often works. Only intelligence, no sense of responsibility, as the plane has only one wing, how can it fly? Edison grew up from life to develop a sense of responsibility for life; Madame Curie blazing patriotic enthusiasm and women’s strong self-confidence, self-esteem and self-love inspired The sense of responsibility and the strong character and social responsibility that Gorky temper from the hardships suffered by his life ... These are all the motivations for them to overcome endless difficulties and setbacks and keep making progress in their success.
