Recently, Chinese social networks have spread images of a very special birthday cake and the moment a boy cried after opening the cake given by his parents.

That day, when he had just returned home from school, the boy happily sat waiting for his parents' birthday present. When he saw his father bringing out a birthday cake, the boy was very excited. However, when he opened the cake, all his anticipation for the gift suddenly disappeared because of the words printed on the cake.

On the birthday cake was written: "Until the Earth is destroyed, you will still have to do your homework." Decorated around the cake were pictures of math books, Chinese books and English books.

Seeing the birthday cake and the inscription on it, the boy cried immediately.

Immediately afterwards, netizens commented on the incident. "This is the cruelest birthday cake. Parents should also put themselves in their children's shoes", "The boy did not expect the birthday cake he had been waiting for so long to look like this. It's hard to swallow", "If my child received a cake like this, he wouldn't be hurt but would ask 'Mom, can you eat it?'",

However, many parents agree with the boy's parents and say that they will give their child a similar cake for his upcoming birthday.

Chinese psychologists say that many parents have very high expectations for their children. "Hopefully their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes" is the ideological concept of many parents.

With this concept, when children's performance is not up to standard, parents will immediately and strictly investigate the cause. Over time, children do not dare to ask their parents if they have difficulties in studying for fear of being reprimanded. Therefore, children's excessive psychological pressure is closely related to their parents' strict requirements.

"Secret" to help children enjoy learning

Reasonable rest time

When children are under extreme pressure to learn, their emotions tend to become more negative, and their creativity and independence will also be affected to a certain extent. Children will also be relatively irritable and mentally restless. Over time, children will develop emotions such as boredom with learning.

Therefore, parents should give their children reasonable relaxation time so that they can do things they like such as watching cartoons, going shopping with friends, etc. This time depends entirely on the child himself, this will help to relieve and reduce the child's negative emotions effectively.

Praise often

During the learning process of children, parents should learn to praise their children more, instead of only looking at their children's efforts in terms of learning results.

Appropriate praise can inspire children's confidence in learning and help improve their learning efficiency. When children's learning results decline, parents should patiently help their children find the cause and encourage them to continue working hard instead of blindly blaming and criticizing.

In this way, children will actively communicate with their parents when they encounter difficulties in learning, which can also maintain their enthusiasm for learning.
