Children who have seen the world will win with just one mouthful.

Do you remember this boy? Last December, the United Nations Climate Change Conference welcomed its youngest speaker: a 9-year-old boy from China. After watching the video, I was deeply impressed!

I think back then, when I was 9 years old, I... In fact, with the development of society, such children are really common in our country. Let's take a look at what else - "Other people's children" child"!

At the Buffett shareholder meeting, an 11-year-old Chinese boy attended the meeting for the second time and asked the 89-year-old Buffett a question, which shocked the audience:

"Mr. Buffett, have you ever I have said that the older you get, the better you understand human nature. Can you tell me what you have learned? How does your different understanding of human nature help you make better investments? I also hope that Mr. Munger can add to this question. Thank you!”

The 11-year-old child not only came well prepared but also performed so well on the spot. People can’t help but admire: “A child who has seen the world wins as soon as he opens his mouth!” I thought of Huang Duoduo, "other people's children". At the movie premiere, Huang Duoduo used fluent English to have a cute conversation with director Spielberg, a big shot in the film industry, and there was no stage fright at all.

In fact, Duoduo did not know in advance that she would meet the great director in person. Her excellent performance on the spot was entirely due to her daily accumulation.

?8 years old, translated and published "Mr. Happy" by Mr. Tolkien (author of "The Lord of the Rings");

?9 years old, composed, translated and illustrated English poems;

?10 years old, independently completed the script creation in English;

?11 years old, dubbing in English for the movie "The Little Prince";

?12 years old, translator Published 3 books;

?13 years old, won 5 first prizes in a music competition.

Fans who like Duoduo know that good English is one of the manifestations of Duoduo's good upbringing. Her politeness, confidence, and generosity are all qualities that everyone envies and appreciates. At a young age, she has her own unique opinions on fashion. She paints her nails, pierces her ears, dyes her hair, etc. and bravely pursues her own beauty. She has an aesthetic and temperament that surpasses her peers.

Some people say that Duoduo is too mature and too melancholy at such a young age. However, this is the advantage of children who have seen the world. They do not blindly follow others and have the courage to be themselves. In this regard, we have to admire the educational philosophy of Huang Lei and his wife.

Some people will say that it is because Huang Duojia has a good background, but too many examples prove that the amount of money is really not a criterion for measuring the quality of a child's academic performance. Judging from the importance Huang Lei attaches to Duoduo English, you should understand that parents’ attention and continued support are more important.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the popularity of many celebrity parent-child programs in recent years that we feel the competitiveness of the "second generation stars". The most obvious thing is that they are basically bilingual babies, or even multilingual. Danniu, Haiqing’s son, is not only addicted to English homework, but also showed amazing talent for writing in English at a young age.

Liu Ye’s son Nuoyi can switch between Chinese, French and English at will without any pressure. At the family dinner, Nuoyi translated simultaneously for his grandfather (Chinese) and grandpa (French).

An earlier article, "What you say is that it’s good for your children to be happy, isn’t it because they are lazy and poor?" When it hit the circle of friends, it can be said to have touched the hearts of countless parents... What can I say? "Is it necessary to start multilingual education so early? Raise a child happily, and there is no need for the child to suffer so much!" Looking at the whole world, which truly outstanding child does not start early childhood education and enlightenment early?

Yang Mi’s daughter Xiao Nuomi can speak Cantonese, English and Mandarin at the age of 2, and can directly call her mother in English.

Jordan Chan's son Jasper, 3 years old, talks to his angry father in English "Can you stop angry now?"

Although Prince George is only 5 years old, he still has to learn Mathematics, English, French, science, history, geography, computer Word courses, drama, art, gymnastics, swimming, fencing, golf, pottery and many other subjects. I even have to take 35 minutes of ballet class every week.

Compared with other interests and specialties, the earlier you learn language, the greater the benefits and the better the effect. Professor Patricia Kuhl, director of the Center for Brain and Learning Science at the University of Washington, said in TED's The Linguistic Genius of Babies:

Research on immigrants from China and South Korea has found that these immigrants are more sensitive to English than are influenced by them. The amount of formal training a person has, their level of effort, and the number of years they have lived in the United States are basically irrelevant, but are related to the age at which they immigrated to the United States.

Researchers found that only those who immigrated before age 7 had English sensitivity comparable to native speakers. For people who immigrated to the United States after the age of 7, their English sensitivity significantly declines as their immigration time is delayed, making it difficult to counterattack.

The earlier you learn different languages, the smarter your children will be. "Children's Brain Revealing Handbook" says:

In the language area of ??the left inferior parietal cortex of the brain, bilingual or multilingual people have a larger brain area than monolingual people. Moreover, when they are young, they learn second languages. Language people or those who are very fluent in a foreign language have a larger area of ??this brain area.

Harvard University has conducted several studies on children learning foreign languages ??and found that if a child can learn a second language in preschool, especially around 3 years old, the language learning itself will improve their creativity and thinking skills. and brain flexibility.

From another perspective, language is like a tool for children to explore the world. Reading picture books, books, watching animations and movies in English allows them to be exposed to richer and wider knowledge at different ages. content, which in itself is a way to promote their brain development.

Acquiring different languages ??since childhood has invisibly imported different cultures and established different modes of thinking. For example, a survey said that picture books and mothers in Western countries pay more attention to developing imagination and attracting children's interest when telling stories; in the East, especially Asian countries, books and mothers' storytelling pay more attention to moral norms and behavioral education. Absorbing the essence of different cultures will enable your baby to have a broader vision in the future, and he will be enlightened by listening at the same time.

The most important thing to do in language enlightenment is to learn with your children. The mother is not the child's teacher, but just a partner for the child to learn the language:

All these companionships will make the baby fall in love with a certain language more deeply, rather than just learning a certain word or understanding a certain sentence pattern. . Let’s talk about the importance of language in the future. It will only be higher, not lower, because under the trend of globalization, various companies will have many foreign colleagues, and all phone calls, meetings, and documents need to be bilingual or even multilingual in Chinese and English. .

When the time comes, no one will pay attention to whether you can do the Mathematical Olympiad or draw. When you open your mouth and speak, they will know that you have received an excellent education and whether you can speak fluent English will become Measuring a person's work ability and communication skills are important measures of income level!

Therefore, it is definitely the wisest choice to start learning a language now as a precaution. Finally, I think of a famous saying: The best time to plant trees was 20 years ago, and the next best time is now. Come on, parents!
