PCE Club 第十二届子女教育研讨暨年会(10月3日)
黄敏-2432 09/14 11300
此次讲座将讨论如何激发和培养孩子对学习的热爱而不是对失败的惧怕，以促进他们取得卓越的成就。永远不要忘记，我们养育孩子的目标是让孩子成长为快乐而对社会有贡献的人。这意味着学业成绩尽管重要，它也只是衡量成功的标准之一。孩子需要具有情商和社交能力，才可能在家庭和工作中蓬勃发展。他们需要保持和发展他们的创造性和创新潜能，以及内在的韧性。孩子被推得太厉害，就无法发现自己的天赋，并趋于完美主义。完美主义者无法接纳自己，享受不到高成就带来的快乐，事实上这窒息了他们自己的创造性。Ginsburg教授将讨论大学录取过程，重点强调引导孩子找到适合自己的教育与学校。讲座的主题是培养能为世界做出独特与巨大贡献的成功孩子。

Fishbowl Forum participants(teenagers):
Christina Wang – I am a junior in High Technology High School in Lincroft, NJ. As a sophomore, I fnished AP Calculus BC and became an AP scholar. Right now, I am the Assistant Editor for New Observer Weekly. In addition to my academic interest in STEM programs/competitions, I have volunteered for Key Club, Monmouth Park System, and PCE for many years. In summer of 2014, I volunteered to serve orphans in Shandong, China by teaching and playing with the kids in a welfare institute. I actively participated in Track & Field, and have been a key member for Holmdel Varsity Volleyball team. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing piano, and drawing and painting.
Stephanie Shen – Potentially being one of the youngest participants, I'm only a sophomore at Parsippany High School. I haven't done anything super great yet, like getting into Harvard and graduating with a Ph.D in Biology. But I do have one major passion for photography. My work has been published in the April issue of Teen Ink Magazine, as well as being chosen for the cover of the September issue, and having being recognized in several other places, as well (currently trying to partner and collaborate with Weathered Signs and Brandy Signs). I'm the historian of my high school's Key Club, where I get to extend my passion of photography to a club for servicing our community and world. Though a big lover of photography, I'm working hard to actually get into medical school to become either an eye doctor or anesthesiologist.
Annie Guo – I'm a sophomore at Livingston high school. I may not have the best grades, but I've always enjoyed learning. I am especially passionate about English and Psychology. I find literature, as well as human behavior to be very interesting. Also, I love public speaking. Something about it has just always excited me. It's even better to give impromptu speeches, because I like to go with the flow as I'm talking. Sometimes, I end up surprising even myself. Besides public speaking, I enjoy playing volleyball. The court is my second home and it's where I can go to swing at balls as an outside hitter and forget about anything that's stressing me out in real life.
Dennis Wang - I'm a sophomore at Livingston High School. I'm part of the LEO club in my school which is a volunteer club, and the Inner Circles club which is basically the Literary Magazine. I also enjoy playing the piano and writing.
Casey Tang - I am 16 years old and a senior at Mountain Lakes High School. I'm planning on pursuing a career in art.
Emily Wang - I am a senior at Randolph High School. I am Vice President/Captain of my debate team at school, which has helped me learn to advocate for what I believe in. In the Asian-American community, I have been a volunteer at Morris Chinese Academy for four years, am a member of an Asian-American parent-youth communication group and am co-president of my school's Asian Culture Club. I believe that culture is very important to our identities and together, with my debate experience and active role in the Asian community, I wish to share that love with others.
Maxwell Tang - I'm a freshman at Millburn High School. I'm currently in no clubs or sports but I will do swimming and track. I haven't found any clubs to join yet. I enjoy animating and writing.

English version:
This talk discusses how to foster high achievement in children while instilling a love of learning, rather than a fear of failure. We must never forget that our goal in raising children is to prepare them to be happy and productive adults. This means that academic performance, while important, is only one measure of success. Children need the emotional and social intelligence to thrive in the home and workplace. They need to maintain and develop their creativity and innovative potential as well as their internal resilience. Children who are pushed too hard do not discover their gift and are driven to perfectionism. Perfectionists do not find themselves acceptable and don’t experience the joy associated with high performance, and in fact stifle their own creativity. The college admissions process will be discussed and the importance of guiding each child to find the right educational match will be emphasized. This seminar is about raising successful children who will make their unique and substantial contributions to the world.
