The fifth essential mental skill is “learning interest.”
Soviet educator authors in Learning and Interest that interest can be developed and is not innate. Interest refers to the ability of a child to experience joy while performing an activity, without relying on willpower, forming an automatic response.
If a child's neural system associates completing a subject's homework with conditioned joy, learning interest emerges. This behavior habit is cultivated; the first time a child performs an activity, it may not be enjoyable, but through repeated practice, the task can be completed naturally without relying on willpower. Furthermore, parental praise and encouragement help the child find pleasure in the process. Over time, this develops into an automatic response, allowing the child to feel competent each time, which is the formation of interest.
Many parents mistakenly believe that children who excel academically have the strongest willpower. In reality, outstanding students do not rely on willpower alone. Children who stay up late reading until one or two a.m. do so because they are interested in reading, do not want to sleep, and do not feel tired. This would be impossible with willpower alone.
Therefore, to achieve academic excellence, cultivating a child's learning interest is essential and must come first. Developing this interest requires parental guidance from an early age.
第五个精神软件是“学习兴趣”。
苏联教育家在《学习与兴趣》一书中指出：兴趣是可以培养的，而非与生俱来。所谓兴趣，是指当孩子在进行某种行为时能够感受到快乐，不需要依靠意志力去强迫自己，而形成的自动反应。
如果在孩子大脑的神经系统中，完成某个学科的作业能够产生条件反射般的快乐，学习兴趣便会随之产生。这种行为习惯是培养出来的，孩子第一次进行某个行为时可能不会感到快乐，但通过反复练习，最终可以无需意志力，自然而然地完成任务。此外，家长的表扬和鼓励能够让孩子在过程中找到乐趣，长期坚持后形成自动反应，每次行为都能让孩子体验到胜任感，这就是兴趣产生的过程。
许多家长误以为学习成绩好的孩子意志力最强，实际上，出类拔萃的学生并非靠意志力学习。孩子能熬夜看书到一两点钟，是因为他们对阅读感兴趣，不想休息，也不觉得疲惫。如果仅靠意志力，这是无法做到的。
因此可以得出结论，对于孩子来说，要想学业优秀，培养学习兴趣是前提，是首要任务。而学习兴趣需要家长从孩子小的时候开始培养。
