There is no perfect child in this world, and education should not be the pursuit of perfection, but the development of individuality

Our parents strive to be omnipotent parents who satisfy, help, and protect their children in all respects. Our parents also want to raise a perfect child. We enroll them in various remedial classes and interest classes, hoping that they have complete abilities and high quality, and strive to cultivate a child with all-round development, positive personality, excellent academic performance, comprehensive social interaction, and good in everything.

But the world has never seen an almighty parent, let alone a perfect child.

In home education, the pursuit of perfection is itself a problem. The same is true in life. Perfection is often synonymous with illusoryness, and perfection often means critical, demanding, and even authoritarian and compulsive.

The pursuit of perfection in education is a bigger problem.

From a parent's point of view,

Pursuit of perfection, that goal may be your own imaginary, lofty goals. Such a goal may only be a pressure for the child, or compliance, and of course there may be resistance, especially when your goals are inconsistent with his goals.

In pursuit of perfection, there is no room for mistakes, but mistakes are made by everyone, not just children. Who in this world can stand up and dare to say that they have made no mistakes, including the venerable Mother Teresa and many other great people. No, there must be no. If there was, it might have flown over from a lunatic asylum.

Pursuing perfection may require children with unrealistic standards, and each child has different personalities, abilities, and even talents, and it is impossible to fully meet your standards. The imposed standards become constraints, or even shackles. .

For children, the pursuit of perfection is not only pressure and resistance, but also the possible loss of interests, hobbies, goals, and even the beauty and fun in life, and even the meaning of life. It's scary to think about.

Perfection is not education.

The world is lovely because it is imperfect, and life can be pursued because it is imperfect.
