《教出自主學習的孩子：德國名師教你使用成長型學習思維，找回孩子主動學習的動機與專注力》
My translation project baby #9 is out, which means it’s time to update my personal website yay.
適合身邊所有在教學現場或開始踏上育兒之路的朋朋，但對於自身的終身學習其實也很有幫助

In retrospect, this book might have come to me at the most fitting time. It talks about how learning works for children and teenagers in particular but also about how developing the growth mindset would tremendously help with lifelong learning.

So I briefly became a student again in February. That experience itself was interesting, for after my own teaching experience I started to see “my” teachers’ teaching also from a different perspective, from a teacher’s shoes. That period of time roughly matched with the early stage of this book project, where I got to do a long retrospect of my learning experience as a kid. How could I do this well? Ah that technique was lowkey what I did! Meanwhile, I also examined and reflected on my own way of teaching as a high school teacher. It was informative and provided a ground for me to reflect what I did well and what not. (A particular moment popped up — a kid told me to also comment on the good parts, for it could be quite disheartening otherwise.)

I went to Spain in April. The trip inspired me in an unexpected way, reminding me how many more potentials I may have other than just being a translator. I started to draw again in May; I noticed how many former students and friends would reach out to me when they needed advice or consolation; new ideas gushed out, reigniting my passion for academic research. All to a point where I somehow got lost, in the sea of too many intriguing ideas and things that I had always carried and yearned to do. Then, a later part of the book covers how someone saw the author’s talents and passion for teaching before she even identified it herself. This part, surprisingly, somehow healed the part of me that wasn’t appreciated enough and couldn’t exert all she’d got. Once again, I was reminded: I can be whatever I want to be.

but that was super healing and also helpful in the sense that I could have more insights of how people’s psychology works. At the end of the day, it’s usually not about “you,” but “them.” It reminds me of what Earn once told me — try to be kinder to people because they might have been going through things that I did not know or could not know. But of course, there should also always be a boundary as to how much I should “practice” my understanding and how much bullshit from others I should or want to accept.
