I hope that this kind of trial and discussion will enable more dads to realize the importance of "father-teaching" and take the initiative to join family education, so as not to leave children with hazy memories of paternal love.

  Recently, the "Dad Pick-up Day" set up by Wuchang Experimental Primary School in Hubei Province has attracted online attention.

According to reports, since 2019, the school has set the 8th, 18th, and 28th of each month as "Dad Pick-up Day", and clearly requires fathers to come to school to pick up and drop off the children on this day, holding the child's hand back. Home.

If the father cannot be there that day, he can also choose to pick up and drop off the child's uncle, uncle, or uncle.

  A "requirement" that is not too harsh may scare some of the onlookers into a cold sweat. What should I do if I work overtime?

What about socializing?

In fact, for dads who are actively involved in the education of their children, this is not a problem, and has even become a daily routine.

If even picking up and dropping children for three days a month is a problem, it may be enough to show that the father is not enough to participate in the child's growth education.

In fact, this part of the father's subconscious reaction points to the problem of father's absence in family education for a long time.

  In 2015, the “Analysis of Shanghai Family Education Status Quo” released by the Institute of Sociology of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and the Shanghai Women’s Federation showed that the proportion of children’s education that is mainly done by fathers dropped from 30.2% in 2005 to 23.7%.

On the contrary, the proportion of mothers who are mainly responsible has risen from 20.3% to 47.2%.

In December of the same year, the main results and core data of the national survey on the status of family education released by the Children's Work Department of the All-China Women's Federation showed that in the division of family education, mothers played the leading role and fathers were "absent" accounting for nearly half.

  Where did Dad go? It is undoubtedly the direct reason that prompted the school to set up a "Dad Pickup Day".

At the moment, the absence of dad seems to be the norm for some family education.

Some dads play more of the role of "providers" in the family. This also leads some dads to believe that it is the mother's task to pick up and educate the children... This is enough to show that some dads are in the concept and understanding of family education There is a certain deviation.

  For parents, work and children are very important. Everyone has a balance in their hearts on how to weigh them.

From another perspective, if parents regard educating their children as an essential part of their lives, as a career other than their own work, there may be no excuses such as "lack of time" and "not doing well".

The Wuchang Experimental Primary School set up a “Dad’s Pick-up Day”, which seems to restrict the father’s behavior, but in fact it provides an opportunity for the father to participate in the child’s family education and cultivates the father’s habit of participating in the family education.

From this point of view, this small measure of setting up a "Dad Pickup Day" aroused the "father energy" of family education, which is worthy of praise.

  You must know that fathers play an important role in children's family education. If they are absent for a long time, they may affect the healthy growth of children.

The educator Herbert once said: "A competent father is worth a hundred teachers." Professor Lu Jianfei of Shanghai Normal University has a similar view. He believes that scientific parent education promotes the development of children's healthy personality and is a precise father role. To expand children’s social behavior, fathers play an important role in the formation of children’s gender awareness and cognitive abilities.

The mother can never replace the father. The two complement each other and promote each other.

  As the principal Zhang of Wuchang Experimental Primary School said, father picking up children is only a form. The important thing is to tell parents through "Daddy Picking Up Day": Father's role in family education is very important and it is absolutely indispensable to nurture children.

No matter how busy fathers are at work, they should also spend more time with their children's growth and better fulfill their responsibilities as fathers.

  The “Dad’s Pick-up Day” attracted heated discussion and once again brought the issue of the absence of fathers in some families to the table. It is hoped that this attempt and discussion will enable more dads to realize the importance of “father’s education” and actively participate in family education. , Do not leave a hazy memory of father's love to children.
