The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or foreign countries. They also make their children take after-school classes. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. In the countryside, even poor parents are willing to buy computers for their children.

But in fact, the best early education that parents can give their children is usually very cheap. They should teach their children the most important skills to help them become confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching children practical skills like cooking, washing and doing other chores. Teaching children to cook will improve many skills that they will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It’s an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking skills, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a great dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or a TV set that you give your child to play with, will make him interested. He will spend hours looking at them and trying to fix them. Perhaps your child will become an engineer when he grows up because these activities can teach a child to think. And that is the most important.
