家庭教育（十八）：身教胜于言传 Family education (18) : example is better than precept

Parents' example is far more effective than their words! That's what I believe.

A kid in my son's basketball class caught my attention. He was particularly good at basketball, with a high shooting percentage, agility and quick reaction, which made him outstanding in a group of children.

During class, other parents sit and play with their mobile phones, but this father is not idle when the child is in class. He has been practicing batting the ball at the door, from the east wall to the west wall, and then again. There was no one next to him, but he was imagining that someone was grabbing the ball, so he kept changing the position of the ball, and he really got into a certain level.

After basketball class, the other parents took their children and left. The father worked up a sweat and wanted more. The father asked the child: "Let's play?" The child was delighted. "Good! Let's see who scores more goals!" You two use the field and get to work right away!

I know why that kid is so good at football, his father is his guide! His father had a heartfelt love for basketball. Influenced by his father, he had more time to practice playing basketball than other children, and made rapid progress naturally.

If you want your child to read more, you better read more than "you need to read more" with a phone in your hand. Ten thousand lectures on "you need to read more" are no match for taking out a book and sitting down and reading with your child.

父母的身教的作用远远大于言传！这是我深信不疑的。

儿子篮球课上的一个小朋友引起我的注意，他球技特别棒，投篮命中率很高，身手敏捷，反应快速，在一群孩子中出类拔萃。

就是这个孩子，他的爸爸是独一无二的家长，上课期间，其他家长都坐着玩手机，但这个爸爸在孩子上课的时候也不闲着，一直在门口练习拍球，从最东墙拍球到最西墙，再往复循环。他旁边没有人，但是他在设想旁边有人抢球，因此不断变换着球位，真是进入到一定境界了。

篮球课上完后，别的家长都带着孩子离开了。这个爸爸运动得大汗淋漓，意犹未尽。爸爸问孩子：“咱俩打会儿？”孩子很痛快：“好！看谁进球多！”爷俩利用场地，立刻切磋起来！

我知道那个孩子为什么球技这么好了，他的爸爸就是他的引路人！他爸爸对篮球有种发自内心的热爱，受爸爸的影响，他比别的孩子有更多的时间练习打球，自然进步飞快！

若你想要孩子多读书，那么你最好也要多读书，而不是嘴里干巴巴地重复“你要多读书”而手里却捧着手机。一万句“你要多读书”的说教都比不上拿出书来坐下，与孩子一起阅读。
