“肯定”的力量有多大 ■马 駉 “我看你翅膀硬了——那你可以飞得更高了”“你看别人家的孩子——哪有你厉害呀,你真棒”……近日,一些“反向接话”的亲子类视频在全网热播,引发网友对传统教育模式的反思。视频中,父母假装说出打压式、否定式的上半句“狠话”,由孩子接下半句,出乎意料的是孩子们的接话一反常规,满满的正向肯定。 “数人十过,不如奖人一长。”教育领域有一个“罗森塔尔效应”,即教育者对受教育者有更多的信心和好感时,受教育者就可能有较大的进步;反之,其积极性和创造性就会受到限制。而中国青年报社会调查中心的一项调查却显示,在对2006名18~35周岁青年的调研中,高达90.6%的受访者坦言被父母进行过言语上的打击式教育,59.7%的人认为这种教育方式会导致孩子缺乏自信、容易自我否定。 山有山的故事,水有水的诗篇,云有云的缥缈,而表现出来的美丽各不相同。希望得到认可、鼓励和赞赏,是人的天性。莎士比亚说:“赞美是照在人心灵上的阳光。没有阳光,我们就不能生长。”对于成长阶段的孩童而言,长期身处情绪不被共情、价值不被肯定的教育环境中,是难以收获健全人格的。“反向接话”视频之所以打动人心,是因为其打破了过往某些亲子教育中的习惯性规训和施压,让人们看到“肯定”的力量也很大。 新时代的青年官兵习惯“指尖上的生活”,喜欢“平等式的交流”,从他们身上,我们明显能感受到“不一样的烟火”:知识丰富、兴趣广泛,个性突出、内心敏感,表现欲望强、渴望被尊重。然而现实中,个别带兵人总带着挑剔眼光审视官兵,觉得他们“浑身是毛病”,常用的口头禅就是“哪像以前的兵啊,真是一代不如一代”,常把“不好、不行、不够”挂嘴边,动不动就说“现在的兵越来越难带”。 “好兵都是夸出来的。”马斯洛需求层次理论告诉我们,每个人都有一定的利益需求、成长渴求、荣誉诉求和精神追求。对青年官兵而言,有时候再多的物质关怀也代替不了人文关怀,再大的物力投入也代替不了感情投入。大到一项荣誉、一次晋升,小到一句温馨的话语、一个温情的笑容,都能在潜移默化中给青年官兵以信心和力量。 习主席在中央军委基层建设会议上强调,要用信任的眼光、欣赏的眼光、发展的眼光看待基层官兵。各级带兵人应多露笑脸、少皱眉头,多说咱们、少说你们,多走过去、少叫过来,多指点、少指责,聆听心声,回应诉求,采取各种形式、利用一切机会,帮助年轻的战士们在挫折面前树立信心、在困难面前找回动力,在肯定中愉悦心情、在赞扬中增强自信、在鼓励中昂扬斗志。 当然,重视“肯定”的力量,并不意味着不讲原则地“和稀泥”,而是在严格要求和管理的前提下多一点“人情味”,将严格要求和关心爱护统一起来。特别是对青年官兵的缺点和不足,作为带兵人,也应本着与人为善的态度,开展掏心见胆、入情入理的批评,真诚帮助战友树立信心、超越自我、追求卓越。

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA political education column argues that unit leaders rely too heavily on criticism and dismissal when managing junior officers and soldiers, and calls on commanders at all levels to replace fault-finding with affirmation, citing Xi Jinping's remarks at the CMC Conference on Grassroots Development as authoritative backing. The article documents a recognized institutional friction: PLA leadership culture, shaped by older NCO and officer generations, is producing retention and motivation problems among a younger cohort the piece characterizes as individualistic, emotionally sensitive, and responsive to respect rather than pressure. This fits a recurring thread in PLA political work literature that frames generational management gaps as a readiness-adjacent problem — the specific value here is as a record of how the institution is trying to reframe command style toward junior personnel without relaxing discipline standards.
