The 4-year-old girl will challenge the Sichuan-Tibet line with her father on foot, and her parents will respond to questions.

　　On June 14th, Wenwen, the "smallest backpacker in China" from Shangrao, Jiangxi, came to Chengdu with her father. The picture shows the father and daughter walking on the streets of Rongcheng.

　　The 4-year-old girl became the "smallest backpacker in China" and arrived in Chengdu with her father to challenge the Sichuan-Tibet line on foot.

　　Tiger dad said, "this difficulty is nothing compared with the challenges she will face in her future life." Nowadays, children in the city live too comfortably, and they have to suffer hardships to know how to cherish and learn to be independent. " Tiger mother said, "I don’t know whether this way is right or not. I just think she should play and feel the world now." Some things can’t be taught by teachers and textbooks. "

　　I have never been to kindergarten. I eat wild vegetables and sleep in tents for six or seven months in a year, and walk more than ten kilometers every day … … Recently, a 4-year-old girl from Shangrao, Jiangxi, became "hot" on the Internet.

　　This little girl named Wenwen is called "the smallest backpacker in China". She has been hiking with her parents since she was 1 year and 3 months old.

　　"In the past two years, we want her to go on like this, and we don’t intend to let her go to kindergarten." This sentence by Wen Wen’s father, Pan Tufeng, in an interview triggered a heated discussion among netizens about children’s education methods.

　　On June 13th, Pan Tufeng came to Chengdu with Wenwen, ready to start a two-month hiking trip on the Sichuan-Tibet line. Talking about his "tiger dad education", Pan Tufeng said: "I don’t think I am very strict, and she will encounter more challenges in the future. And it turns out that she is more and more independent and sensible now. "

　　Huba education

　　The 4-year-old girl who just finished hiking in Shandong walks more than ten kilometers every day.

　　On the afternoon of 14th, in a youth hostel in Gengjiaxiang, Chengdu. Wenwen sat alone on the sofa in the hall, staring at the projector, where cartoons were playing.

　　With short hair, shorts and sneakers, and dark skin, she looks like a little boy.

　　"I have rested at home for more than half a month, and I have been a little white recently. It was even darker when I just came back from Shandong." Pan Tufeng said that Wenwen actually loves beauty and likes to wear skirts at home. "But when you go hiking, you must dress like this, which is convenient." More than a month ago, my father and daughter went to Shandong and spent 20 days hiking and hitchhiking in Jinan, Qingdao and other cities. "This time she was happiest because she went to the seaside." Pan Tufeng said that he preferred to choose poor mountainous areas before hiking, "so that his daughter can get exercise."

　　As long as she is on the road, she has to walk for almost five or six hours every day. At the end of the day, Wenwen has to walk more than ten kilometers. This kind of exercise is too much for the average adult, but Pan Tufeng said, "From the age of three, she can do it by herself."

　　I am about to challenge the Sichuan-Tibet line and take a hard seat for more than 30 hours to come to Chengdu.

　　Just had a rest for more than half a month. On the morning of June 12th, Pan Tufeng took Wenwen from Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, and took a hard seat for more than 30 hours to Chengdu to prepare for the next two months’ hiking trip on the Sichuan-Tibet line.

　　Hard seat on the train is Pan Tufeng’s first choice for every trip. "Not only is it economical, but you can also meet all kinds of people along the way. It is very interesting to chat with them." He is not worried that his 4-year-old daughter can’t stand the long journey. On the contrary, he thinks this is the best exercise opportunity for her, and Wenwen seems to be very adapted — — I run and jump in the carriage during the day, and when I am tired, I fall asleep in my seat. "She sleeps well everywhere. I am very happy with this adaptability. The exercise effect has been achieved in recent years."

　　In Chengdu, the father and daughter live in a one-bed youth hostel in 30 yuan. "This is a good condition. After hiking, I will inevitably sleep on the side of the road." There is a big backpack in the room, which contains a tent, two sleeping bags, some clothes and toiletries. "Buy some essential medicines and you can go on the road at any time." Pan Tufeng said.

　　Next to it is a pink schoolbag, which belongs to Wenwen. "I can help her carry her sleeping bag, but she has to carry her own clothes." Because she is too small, the schoolbag falls below Wenwen’s hip, and the shoulder strap is a little wide. However, Wenwen, who had a schoolbag on her back, did not agree, and started walking around the room happily.

　　Father tells

　　My daughter started hiking at the age of 1 year and 3 months.

　　After a brief rest, the father and daughter will embark on a journey of hiking the Sichuan-Tibet line in these two days. According to the plan, they will arrive in Lhasa in two months. Wenwen’s grandmother once worried that the altitude in Lhasa was too high for her children. However, Pan Tufeng has great confidence in her daughter: "She has been to Yunnan before, and the altitude is similar, so there is no problem."

　　Although only 4 years old, Wenwen’s "probation" has been close to 3 years. Both Pan Tufeng and his wife Yuan Duan like hiking. Before that, they ran a small business in their hometown of Jiangxi and started Wechat business in recent years. "So they have more time to accompany their children around."

　　When Wenwen was 1 year and 3 months old, she followed her parents to go hiking in Pu ‘er, Yunnan. At that time, she learned to walk for 3 months. On her knees, there is a scar the size of a coin. "It was broken while playing in my hometown. It was a minor injury, nothing, and it was almost as good." Pan Tufeng touched his daughter’s scar and his tone was relaxed. "It’s normal to fall down and blister on her feet during the hiking. She will cry, too, but she still has to walk after crying."

　　Sometimes, Wenwen will lose her temper and sit on the ground. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Pan Tufeng were not as persuasive as ordinary parents, but chose not to care. "You love to go or not, we will go." This trick is very useful, Wenwen will immediately stand up and catch up with small steps. "Children are like this. The more you get used to it, the more delicate it becomes."

　　Having said that, Pan Tufeng is not hard-hearted. "We will hold her along the way. As long as her body falls, she will know that she must be sleepy." At this time, he will pick up Wenwen. "As soon as the doll’s head is next to her shoulder, she falls asleep."

　　Respond to questions

　　Nowadays, children will learn to cherish and learn to be independent if they have to suffer hardships.

　　Walk for at least 20 days, and basically choose poor and remote places. Grandma, who has always loved her children, is a little hard to accept this kind of tiger-dad education. "A girl, still so young, is afraid that she can’t bear the pain." After learning about her granddaughter’s hiking last year, Wenwen’s grandmother made it clear that she opposed it.

　　However, Pan Tufeng is full of confidence. "This difficulty is nothing compared with the challenges she will face in her future life. Nowadays, children in the city live too comfortably, and they have to suffer hardships to know how to cherish and learn to be independent. "

　　Yuan Duan also agrees with her husband’s point of view. One thing impressed her deeply. After going to Guangxi last year and walking 15 kilometers independently, Wenwen got a packet of cookies as a reward. "She knew it was hard to come by and bit by bit. If you are at home, you will not know how to cherish a lot of snacks. "

　　Pan Tufeng said, "Wenwen saw some left-behind children dress and eat by themselves, but also helped the family to do farm work. After returning home, she also learned to eat by herself and took the initiative to help us wash the dishes. She was more independent than her three-year-old brother."

　　Both Mr. and Mrs. Pan Tufeng graduated from high school. In terms of educating children, they are also slowly groping in practice. "We may spoil our eldest son more, so we pay more attention to cultivating Wenwen’s independence."

　　Wawa wants to go to kindergarten.

　　But it is more useful for her to cultivate the ability to bear hardships.

　　Compared with letting the young daughter walk, what caused more doubts from the outside world was that Pan Tufeng had previously said that "Wenwen was not going to go to kindergarten".

　　"Do you want to go to kindergarten?" On June 14, Wen Wen blinked and nodded at the reporter’s inquiry. "Do you like going to kindergarten or going out to play?" "Kindergarten."

　　"She also told us that she wanted to go to kindergarten." Mother Yuan Duan said that there is a kindergarten behind the old house. Sometimes Wenwen will silently carry her small schoolbag when she sees other children carrying schoolbags or listening to the music of kindergarten exercises.

　　Whenever this happens, Yuan Duan will tell Wenwen that he will take her to more places and meet more children. "I don’t know whether our education method is right or not. I just think she should play and feel the world now. Some things can’t be taught by teachers and textbooks. "

　　In contrast, Pan Tufeng is confident in her own education method. "She just thinks it’s fun to go to kindergarten now, but I think it’s more useful for her to exercise her physique and cultivate her ability to bear hardships now. When these things are done, the rest will be simple."

　　Dialogue tiger dad

　　I hope to cultivate hard-working spirit by hiking.

　　On the afternoon of 14th, in the youth hostel where Pan Tufeng’s father and daughter lived, the reporter had a conversation with him — —

　　Huaxi Dushi Bao: The child is so young that she has to walk so far in one day. Have you asked her what she thinks?

　　Pan Tufeng: Children must like to stay at home comfortably, delicious and delicious. But I prefer to cultivate her hard-working spirit by hiking.

　　Huaxi Dushi Bao: Some people think that you impose your preferences on your children. Do you think so?

　　Pan Tufeng: I really hope Wenwen can become a travel enthusiast, but I also respect her choices. For example, if she likes singing, she will buy some CDs at home and download her favorite songs on her mobile phone.

　　Huaxi Dushi Bao: Without the collective environment of kindergarten, have you considered that it is difficult for children to integrate into the collective in the future?

　　Pan Tufeng: It is precisely because she didn’t go to kindergarten that she cherishes the opportunity to get along with children. As soon as I see other children, I will take the initiative to say hello. If there is a conflict between two people, she is often the one who makes up. Now, she gets along well with people of all ages.

　　Voices of all parties

　　Sports medicine expert: the endurance of children over 4 years old will affect skeletal muscle development.

　　Hou Lerong, a professor in the Department of Sports Medicine of Chengdu Institute of Physical Education, said that 4-year-old children, regardless of cardiopulmonary function or the ability of bones, muscles and various organ systems, are not fully developed, which is not enough to bear such exercise. Walking more than 10 kilometers every day has a great influence on lower limbs, which may lead to early calcification of bones and affect height. Muscle strength training, generally after puberty, because children’s muscles can not afford high-intensity exercise.

　　In addition, Wenwen’s age is just between the first growth and development peak (0-2 years old) and the second growth and development peak (adolescence), which belongs to the reserve stage and needs enough nutrition. If you stay outdoors for a long time, or live in an irregular state, your nutrition intake will be affected.

　　Educational psychologist: Kindergarten education is indispensable. Children should contact their peers more.

　　Bai Ling, an expert from Chengdu Applied Psychology Research Association, said that Pan Tufeng’s decision not to let his children go to kindergarten was too extreme and one-sided. From kindergarten to preschool and then to primary school, it is a gradual socialization process for children, so that they can learn self-discipline and self-control. Developmental psychology advocates what to do at what age. Preschool children aged 0 to 6 should have more contact with their peers and learn to get along with others in the process of communication, so that they can better stand in society in the future. If separated from group life, children’s interpersonal skills may be lacking.

　　Liu Xia, a national second-level psychological counselor and education expert, has reservations about this. She believes that this kind of education requires parents to have good comprehensive quality and be good at guiding and educating children. Parents should teach their children their outlook on life, world outlook and values through words and deeds in the process of taking their children hiking, but they must let them accept it naturally and willingly. If you just impose it blindly, it will only be counterproductive. In addition, since the child wants to go to kindergarten, it means that Pan Tufeng’s education method does not meet the needs of children’s growth, and parents may need to adjust it.

　　First comment

　　Send blessings, but don’t imitate them easily

　　Zhu Changjun’s education methods of "tiger father" and "tiger mother" vary from place to place. Wenwen, a 4-year-old girl from Jiangxi Province, has become "the smallest backpacker in China", which can be regarded as the latest form of expression.

　　For the time being, no matter how this way will affect Wenwen’s future. I started hiking when I was over one year old, and walked more than ten kilometers every day when I was four years old. Whether this "runaway" is conducive to the normal development of Wenwen’s body is an unknown question. As a hiker, "tiger parents and tiger mothers" shape their daughters with this kind of physical education, which is obviously suspected of "imposing hobbies".

　　It is true that parents have some natural "authority" in front of their children, but this kind of education is obviously out of place in terms of the concept and mode of modern education, and its "adventure" side can not be ignored.

　　Perhaps, as the "tiger parents" gave in response to outside questions, some things can’t be taught by teachers and textbooks, so other ways are needed to make up for them. However, can the "contradiction" between "reading thousands of books" and "walking Wan Li Road" really only be resolved in this extreme way?

　　It is not difficult to see from the appellation of "tiger parents and tiger mothers" that this kind of education mode has a strong case color compared with the traditional education mode of ordinary parents, and it is difficult to summarize, copy and popularize things regularly. Therefore, in this regard, we can only wish that this "experiment" between Wenwen and her parents can be successful, or it will not cost too much. At the same time, we should also remind more parents not to imitate easily.

　　In addition, under the background of more and more "experiments" of "tiger parents" education, such a question should be paid attention to: What is the reasonable limit for parents to choose their children’s education methods? For example, should we ensure that it does not conflict with the normal rights and interests protection of minors?

　　What do you think of the education methods of tiger parents?

　　The 4-year-old girl doesn’t go to kindergarten. She travels with her parents on foot, eats wild vegetables and sleeps in tents for more than ten kilometers every day, becoming the "smallest backpacker in China". Do you agree with the "tiger parents’ education" and what do you think?
