哈丁教養術THE HARDING FAMILY'S METHOD
讓孩子十三歲就上大學Sending kids to college by the age of 13
教養方法 哈丁教養術著重於培養幾項核心技能：數學、閱讀以及
寫作。
夫婦倆鼓勵孩子每天學完兩課數學；每天也都會練習寫作，並由父母陪同他們一起校閱再修正錯誤。
孩子們也花大量的時間閱讀，並透過閱讀的書籍學習歷史和科學。
一旦孩子對某個特定科目產生興趣，就會進一步閱讀更多該領域相關的書。
社交方面，哈丁家鼓勵孩子正常生活並結交同齡朋友。
例如，在成長的過程中，哈丁家的孩子每個星期五下午都會跟朋友見面。
不過，哈丁家的教養方式仍不免引發一些爭議。
在一項民調中顯示，百分之九十三的參與民眾表示自己不會採用哈丁家的教養方式。
或許這是因為他們並不急著把年紀尚輕的孩子倉促送進大學。
然而，哈丁家子女的成功在在顯示這個方法在他們身上的確發揮了成效。
年輕人所能成就的遠比一般人想像的更多。
透過聚焦基本科目以及鼓勵孩子跟隨自己的愛好，哈丁一家取得了驚人的成果。
The method
The Harding method focuses on cultivating a few core skills: math, reading and writing. Children are encouraged to complete two math lessons every day. They also write something every day, and their parents review what they have written with them to correct any errors. The kids also spend copious amounts of time reading, and they learn history and science through the books they read. Once the children develop an interest in a particular subject, they read more and more books in that area.
Socially, the Harding family encouraged their children to be kids and make friends with others their own age. For example, they met up with friends every Friday afternoon while growing up.
The Harding family's method is a bit controversial, though. In one poll, 93 percent of participants said they would not want to follow the Harding family's example.
Perhaps they don't see the urgency of making their children rush into college so young. But the success of the Harding children shows that their method worked for them.
Young people are capable of achieving more than people often think. By focusing on the basics and encouraging children to follow their passion, the Harding family has achieved amazing results.
