　　Claims

Parenting do not blindly follow the comparison

Wenzhou Nanpu Primary School principal Li Bi believes that in children's extracurricular tutoring and interest training, parents do not blindly follow the following, need to do what they want. "Parents have to look at problems from a child's point of view and consider whether the money is worth it," he asked. Sometimes, spending money doesn't have to be rewarding. "In her view, out-of-school training, especially in cultural classes, is not the more the better. "More out-of-school training sessions will affect your child's focus and efficiency in class, and will even be counter-productive." ”
