　　“拔苗助长”

　　Emerging from the elaborately painted cartoon is an ironic scene: with sweat steaming down his face, a father pulls up his son’s neck to help him read a stack of books on the left, while the little boy, holding a pen and a notebook, looks unhappy and reluctant to finish reading.

　　The scenario echoed by the drawing above can be seen in almost every family: an increasing number of parents dedicate to their children’s early commencement for formal education. Why does this phenomenon take place? First of all, due to the fast economic and technological development, the society is full of fierce competition, so most parents expect their kids to start formal education at a very early age and have a bright future. According to a survey conducted by a newspaper, 30% parents argue that children’s early commencement for formal education can enrich the life and improve test scores. Secondly, some organizations advertise that being put to early studies, children can develop good habit of studying, for the process of learning helps develop children's mental abilities, such as the ability to memorize, the ability to understand and so on.

　　Every parent hopes their children succeed and have a better life when they grow up, but it is a long process to make this dream come true. Family education should promote not only the children’s intellectual development, but also their physical and mental development. Only in this way can the children realize all-round improvement.
