少兒“計算機計劃”現已開始上線,TOP最強大腦,這事你知道嘛?

The amount of conflicting advice there is on how to bring up happy and successful children can make your head spin.

關於如何快樂成功地將孩子撫養長大這個問題,許多相互矛盾的建議會讓你暈頭轉向。

Parents often find themselves questioning how strict they should be with youngsters and how much independence they should allow them.

父母們經常發現自己迷失在這樣一些問題上——我應該對孩子多嚴格,我應該讓他們有多獨立?

Now a new book by psychologists says our approach is wrong – because we’re training them to be computers, reports NPR.

而現在心理學家們的一本新書說,我們的做法是錯誤的——因為我們的做法是在訓練孩子們成為計算機。

Instead of focusing on ’success’ at school, we should be teaching them how to be better at being social, navigate relationships and be good citizens in a community.

我們不應該把重點放在學校的“成功”上面,而應該教他們如何在社交和人際關係方面做得更好,如何成為社區中的好公民。

That’s according to two professors who have written Becoming Brilliant: What Science Tells Us About Raising Successful Children.

兩名教授的著作《Becoming Brilliant: What Science Tells Us About Raising Successful Children》就表達了這一思想。

’We’re training kids to do what computers do, which is spit back facts,’ Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, told the website.

費城天普大學教授凱西·赫什-帕塞克表示稱:“我們正在將孩子訓練成為計算機,讓他們只會陳述事實。”

’And computers are always going to be better than human beings at that.’

“而計算機還常常在那方面表現得比人類更好。”

This way of thinking challenges our definition of what success in school, and out of school, means, they say.

他們表示稱,改變我們對在學校內、以及學校外成功的定義至關重要。

Instead, we should focus on the ’six Cs’ of parenting, says Professor Hirsh-Pasek and her co-author Roberta Golinkoff from the University of Delaware.

相反,赫什-帕塞克教授、以及來自特拉華大學的另一名作者羅伯塔指出,父母們應該採取“6C”策略。

This is collaboration, communication, content, critical thinking, creative innovation and confidence – listed in order of importance.

按照重要性排序,6C即合作(collaboration)、交流(communication)、內容(content)、批判思維(critical thinking)、創新( creative innovation )和自信(confidence)。

The first, collaboration, is basic but at the core of parenting.

首先,合作是父母教育孩子最基本、最核心的內容。

’Collaboration is everything from getting along with others to controlling your impulses so you can not kick someone else off the swing,’ Professor Hirsh-Pasek explained.

赫什-帕塞克教授解釋稱:“合作可以是一切,可以是你和別人相處,也可以是你控制自己想要把別人踢下鞦韆的衝動。”

Everything your child does, in the classroom or at home, has to be built on that foundation.

你的孩子所做的一切,無論是在課堂上還是在家裡,都應建立在這個基礎之上。

The authors give a practical example of encouraging critical thinking – you should make sure you do not shut them down when they ask a question.

兩位作者還給出了一個鼓勵批判性思維的實例——當孩子們問問題時,你絕不能對他們敷衍了事。

And you should encourage them to ask more. You want them to understand how other people think.

而你應該鼓勵他們問更多的問題。你應該讓他們理解其他人是如何思考的。

The book explains that there are four levels to each of the six C’s, which allow parents to assess how strong they are in each skill.

該書還解釋稱6C中每一項都有四個層次,這就使得父母們能夠評估自己在每一項技能上做得夠不夠好。

They stress that social interaction between parents and child is what help set up the child for the development of these skills.

他們還強調,父母和孩子之間的社交是幫助孩子發展這些技能的基礎。

’What we do with little kids today will matter in 20 years,’ says Hirsh-Pasek.

赫什-帕塞克教授表示:“我們今天對孩子們做的事情,20年後將會對他們產生巨大影響。”
