One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

Chapter 2413: The secret to educating children.

"I insisted on bringing up my precious myself, so he's especially close to me. He could fold his bed quilt already when he was just six. I thought my child was smart and considerate for his age until I saw yours today… Sigh!"

Yun Shishi could only frown in resignation.

Honestly, how could one compare a child to another?

What parents needed to do was to inject self-confidence in their kids. They had to let their children know that they were the best in their eyes. The adults had to encourage their children whenever they completed a task to the best of their ability. The last thing adults should be doing was compare kids with one another; this would crush the little ones' self-confidence. Gradually, the kids would lose the motivation to work hard because, subconsciously, 'the other children' would always be better no matter how hard they tried.

Someone among them popped a question to the actress suddenly. "Ms. Yun, who is looking after your children?"

The woman replied with a smile, "Before I entered showbiz, I was an employee in a busy company, but still, I've always been the one to look after my son. Youyou has been an independent child since he was much younger. He could wear his own clothes by himself when he was three. At four years old, he learned to stand on a small, wooden stool to cook! I'm not sure why, but he's been very intelligent and sweet since small. He's obedient, thoughtful and respectful to the elders as well. The only thing is that he may be too quiet for his own good at times. The most amazing thing about him is his cooking is comparable to a professional chef!"

She was reserved in singing her praise about her son, but that did not reduce the astonishment the listeners felt when they heard her description.

Everyone was dumbfounded, actually.

Geez. Is she for real?

The boy can cook by himself?

His cooking skills are commendable?

They could not believe their ears.

"He cooks?"

"…When he's four?!"

"OMG! He's a little genius!"

Everyone was too shocked for words and could only express their wonderment by shaking their heads. "I don't believe you! My kid is already nine years old and he still needs me to feed him. He is too naughty and often makes me run after him at mealtimes."

The actress commented, "You can't make this a habit, though. If he's not gonna eat his food, then you should ignore him and eat by yourself, but make sure you don't start feeding him again when he gives you a pitiful look when he's hungry! You have to tell him that there's nothing for him to eat later if he insists on missing his meals. The kid will gradually learn that he can go hungry unless he follows your instruction. If not, it'll lead to a bad habit when he thinks that you're obligated to feed him at his whims. The child will become more unreasonable in this way."

"I see…"

"Actually, I really envy you with your two considerate children, but I know that some things in life aren't meant to be! Did you sign him up for any enrichment classes when he was small?"

The woman shook her head. "No, I didn't. On the contrary, as I was usually too busy at work and hardly got a day-off, I left him alone at home most of the time. Many times, I had to work until late at night and could only spend time with him at lunch and dinner. I rarely had a chance to spend quality time with him, but he's been a patient boy since he was much younger. Plus, he seems to be a classic Virgo, where he will make sure he does his best at every single task he undertakes. He is able to do well for things that the average kid has little patience for."

She remembered vaguely that, in the past, there was a period when 3D puzzles were the fad.

These were three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles of ancient architectures and modern skyscrapers. The most difficult one to construct was the Eiffel Tower, which had a few thousand pieces. Most children would not have the patience to complete the task.
