Guangzhou:Piano, Art and “EQ” Lessons Popular at Children’s Palace
|
First semester freshman enrollment ended at 12 o’clock last night at the Guangzhou Children’s Palace, an unconventional extra-curricular school.
Art, dance, music and other artistic courses were the most popular with parents and children. Among them, every 67th candidate vied for a vacancy in the piano classes.
Folk music classes, as well as lessons in Guzheng and bamboo flute, were well-received. However, many parents and children attached greater importance to physical training. Lessons in table tennis, martial arts, basketball and so on had a large number of applicants.
The EQ (emotional intelligence) course ranked third among the most popular lessons. One survey showed that EQ training courses are more effective when parents and children take them together.
“Education from parents plays the most direct and profound impact on the development of a child’s emotional intelligence,” said Xiao Jihua, a professor from the Human Resource and Psychological Center at the Guangzhou-based Sun Yat-sen University.
