2026 年已經來到我們面前。在這科技AI 技術時刻都在翻新的時代，世界的節奏快到讓人眩暈。而教育風向也正已轉變。大學的招生標準，早已將「個人特質」、「社會關懷」與「批判性思考」擺在檯面上；企業徵才時，反覆強調的是「適應力」、「合作精神」與「解決真實問題的能力」。

分數，曾經是唯一的通行證，如今是一張基本的門票。真正決定孩子能走得多遠、多穩、多快樂的，是這張門票背後，「完整的人」——品格、自我認知、與世界連結的方式。

這並不是否定學業的重要性，而是開始直擊更根本的問題：在追求分數之餘，我們是否幫孩子準備好了面對人生的核心裝備？

 

超越教育的初心：教育是「認識自我」的過程

我們與不同的家庭對話時，最常聽到家長的焦慮是：「我的孩子到底喜歡什麼？」、「他將來能做什麼？」這個問題的背後，其實藏著兩個更重要的重點：「我是誰？我擅長什麼？」

我們深信，教育的起點，不是書本，而是孩子自己。

想像一下，假如學習是一趟航海之旅。傳統教育給了孩子一張精準的航海圖（課本知識）和堅固的大船（考試技巧），卻很少引導他思考：想航向哪裡？這艘船，是適合破浪的快艇，還是能承載眾人的輪船？喜歡享受獨自探索的寧靜，還是團隊合作的熱鬧？

教育，應該是孩子「認識自我」的過程。 當一個孩子開始明白自己的船舵（價值觀）在哪、自己的風帆（天賦熱情）如何張開，他才能從被動的「乘客」，轉變為主動的「船長」。學習並不只是為了抵達某個被標記的港口（名校、好工作），而是為了享受探索的旅程，並在過程中，長成一個更堅韌、更完整、更能為自己負責的人。當孩子成為那個「自己也喜歡的自己」時，學習就從負擔轉化成了成長的養分。

這正是我們的初心：讓教育回歸到「人的培育」。我們陪伴孩子，不只為了下一場考試，更是為了他人生的每一次選擇與挑戰。

 

建立個人價值觀：讓孩子在變動的世界中堅定前行

在資訊爆炸的時代，孩子的身邊充斥各種聲音：社群媒體的流行、同儕的比較、社會單一的成功定義……若沒有一個安定內在的「錨」，他們很容易被浪潮掩沒，感到迷茫焦慮。

而品格教育，就是幫孩子打造「心靈之錨」：

• 釐清想成為什麼樣的人：

我們可以問孩子：「你最欣賞的那個人，是因為他做了什麼事？」「如果十年後，你的朋友要用三個詞形容你，你希望是哪三個詞？」透過故事、電影、甚至新聞事件的討論，慢慢幫孩子勾勒出他心中理想的自己——是富有正義感？創意無限？還是善於安慰他人？

• 建立核心信念，抗衡外界雜音：

當孩子內化「誠實讓我心安」的信念，就不容易為了取悅他人而說謊；當他認同「堅持是因為熱愛」，就能在遇到困難時多撐一會兒。這種對自我價值的追求，會成為他們在誘惑與壓力面前最強大的保護罩。

這個內在的指南針，將是 2026 年裡最珍貴的禮物。有了這份核心信念，孩子才能在變動的世界中，走得比誰都穩！

 

2026 學習目標：如何根據孩子潛能規劃專屬路徑？

每個孩子都是獨一無二的，所以學習路徑也不該只有一種走法。如果只盯著學校的考試進度，就像只修剪一棵樹的單邊樹枝，可能忽略它原本可以開出花朵的其他枝椏。

真正的目標設定，應該是從「發現」開始：

• 跳脫標準化模板，發現獨特才華：

天賦不是只有「數理好」或是「作文棒」。有的孩子很會調解朋友紛爭；有的對生態變化特別敏感；有的則是能輕易將腦中畫面用繪畫重現。我們的工作，就是像偵探，透過多元的活動、深度對談與細心觀察，幫助孩子看見那些被忽略的「亮點」。這些閃亮點，往往才是點燃學習熱情的火種。

• 設定「以終為始」的階段性學習計畫：

當孩子說「我想成為能幫助流浪動物的人」，這就是一個充滿力量的「終點」。我們與孩子一起倒推回來：要達成這個願景，2026 年可以踏出的第一步是什麼？可能是「深入了解一個動物保護組織」、「學習撰寫一封有力的倡議信件」、「自學基礎的動物行為學」等等。這樣的學習計畫，因為連結了內在熱情，而成為了充滿意義的探索。

當學習是為了成為「理想的自己」，孩子就會從「要我做」，轉為「我要做」！

 

賦予孩子應對未來的兩把鑰匙：批判性思考與問題解決

未來的世界，答案唾手可得，但「問對問題」、「分辨資訊真偽」、「從無到有創造方案」的能力，卻愈發珍貴。

• 批判性思考：不只是接收資訊，而是省思生命的目的：

鼓勵孩子對所有資訊保持好奇與懷疑。不只問「這是什麼？」，更要問「為什麼是這樣？」「還有其他可能性嗎？」「這對我、對社會意味著什麼？」。例如討論一個歷史事件時，引導他思考不同立場人物的選擇。這種思考，會引導他思考更深層的問題：我學習這些、做這些，是為了什麼？我想要怎樣的生命？這種「目的感」，是驅動長期投入的最強引擎。

• 問題解決：如何引導孩子從挫折中學習：

真正的問題解決能力，不是在一帆風順中學會的，而是在「搞砸了」之後。當孩子面對失敗，首要任務不是給答案或安慰，而是陪他進行「復盤對話」：「哪一步是關鍵作用？」「如果重來一次，哪裡可以不同？」「這個過程，讓你更認識自己什麼？」將挫折轉化為寶貴的「學習經驗」，他就會擁有「抗脆弱」的能力——每次跌倒，都讓他更強壯。

 

 

學習尊重與合作：在群體中看見自己的位置

在 AI 時代，最無法被取代的，就是人與人之間的「深度連結」。孩子的幸福感與成就感，很大一部分來自健康的關係。在 2026 年，跨文化、跨領域的合作將是常態。

• 尊重他人觀點，建立深度連結：

尊重，不是客套，而是真心理解「原來世界可以這樣看」。透過活動，讓不同性格、背景的孩子一起互動。例如，讓理性分析者與感性故事人合作製作一份報告。過程中，學習聆聽、表達、妥協，最後會發現：差異不是阻力，而是讓成果更豐富的「創意燃料」。

 

• 團隊合作中的領導力與共感力：

未來的領導力，不再是發號施令，而是「促成美好的協作」。讓孩子輪流擔任不同角色，學習如何支持隊友、如何整合意見、在他人的成功中也感受到自己的價值。這種「共感力」，能讓孩子在群體中找到歸屬，也看到自己獨特的貢獻位置。

 

實作篇：親子共創5 個步驟，與孩子寫下 2026 成長藍圖

找一個安靜的午後，準備好紙筆和開放的心，與孩子展開這場屬於你們的對話：。

1. 時光膠囊：

寫給 2026 年底的自己：請孩子用文字或畫圖，描述「2026 年 12 月 31 日的我，會是什麼樣子？」（心情、正在做什麼、身邊有什麼人、完成了什麼事？）不談分數，只談嚮往，讓願景先自由飛翔。

2. 天賦尋寶圖：

一起回顧過去一年，找出 3 個「做得特別投入、甚至忘了時間」的時刻。討論其中運用了哪些孩子喜歡或擅長的能力？這就是他的天賦線索！

3. 目標三原色：

從「品格、學習、生活」三個面向，各選出一個目標。

• 品格目標，例如「更有耐心」
• 學習目標，例如「每天讀 10 分鐘英文」
• 生活目標，例如「認識一個不同興趣圈的新朋友」

4. 把大目標變成「目標樓梯」：

將目標拆解成微小的、每天能做到的動作。讓孩子覺得這段階梯是他跨得上去的。

5. 專屬的支持系統：

一起想想，達成這些目標，需要哪些資源？（例如：某本書、一個工作坊、每週一次的家庭分享時間、爸媽怎樣的鼓勵？）把你們的約定寫下來，貼在顯眼處。

 

超越教育，陪孩子走一段尋找光芒的旅程

教育是一段漫長而親密的陪伴。我們都知道，沒有一張地圖能保證未來的風平浪靜。但我們可以給孩子一個堅固的船舵（品格），一副看清自己的望遠鏡（自我認知），以及與星群共航的勇氣（社會連結）。

邀請您，從今天開始，不只是關心孩子「考得怎麼樣」，而是多問一句：「你今天發現了什麼有趣的事嗎？」

陪孩子走這段認識自我、超越自我的旅程。這趟旅程的終點，不是某張證書，而是一個眼神發亮、內心堅定，知道自己要往哪裡去的大人。

 

2026 Growth Guide: How to Guide Children in Building Character and Learning Goals? Start Your Child’s Unique Growth Journey with Talent Exploration!

2026 is now upon us. In this era where technology and AI are almost constantly being renewed, the pace of the world is dizzyingly fast. The winds of education are also shifting. University admissions criteria have long placed “personal qualities,” “social concern,” and “critical thinking” front and center. When recruiting, companies repeatedly emphasize “adaptability,” “collaborative spirit,” and “the ability to solve real-world problems.”
Grades, once the sole passport, are now a basic ticket. What truly determines how far, how steadily, and how happily a child can go is the “whole person” behind that ticket—character, self-awareness, and their way of connecting with the world.
This is not to negate the importance of academic studies, but to begin addressing a more fundamental question: Beyond chasing grades, have we equipped our children with the core gear they need to face life?

 

▎ Beyond the Original Intent of Education: Education is a Process of “Self-Discovery”
In our conversations with different families, the most common anxiety we hear from parents is: “What does my child actually like?” “What can they do in the future?” Behind this question lie two even more important points: “Who am I? What am I good at?”
We firmly believe that the starting point of education is not textbooks, but the child themselves.
Imagine if learning were a voyage. Traditional education gives children a precise nautical chart (textbook knowledge) and a sturdy ship (test-taking skills), but rarely guides them to think: Where do I want to sail? Is this ship suitable as a wave-breaking speedboat, or a ship that can carry many? Do I enjoy the tranquility of solo exploration, or the liveliness of teamwork?
Education should be the child’s process of “self-discovery.” When a child begins to understand where their own helm (values) is and how to set their own sails (talents and passions), they can transform from a passive “passenger” into an active “captain.” Learning is not just about arriving at a marked port (a prestigious school, a good job), but about enjoying the journey of exploration and, in the process, growing into a more resilient, more complete person who can take responsibility for themselves. When a child becomes “someone they themselves like,” learning transforms from a burden into nourishment for growth.
This is precisely our original intent: to return education to “the cultivation of the person.” We accompany children not just for the next exam, but for every choice and challenge in their lives.

 

▎ Establishing Personal Values: Helping Children Move Forward Steadily in a Changing World
In this age of information explosion, children are surrounded by a cacophony of voices: social media trends, peer comparisons, society’s narrow definition of success… Without a stable internal “anchor,” they can easily be swept away by the waves, feeling lost and anxious.
Character education is about helping children forge this “anchor of the soul”:

• Clarifying who they want to be:We can ask children: “That person you admire most—what is it they did that you admire?” “If ten years from now, your friends were to describe you with three words, what three words would you hope for?” Through discussions of stories, movies, or even news events, gradually help them sketch out their ideal self in their mind’s eye—is it someone full of justice? Boundless creativity? Or skilled at comforting others?
• Establishing core beliefs to counter external noise:When a child internalizes the belief that “honesty gives me peace of mind,” they are less likely to lie to please others. When they embrace that “perseverance comes from passion,” they can hold on a little longer when facing difficulties. This pursuit of self-worth becomes their strongest shield against temptation and pressure.
  This internal compass will be the most precious gift in 2026. With these core beliefs, children can navigate the changing world more steadily than anyone!

 

▍ 2026 Learning Goals: How to Plan a Unique Path Based on Your Child’s Potential?
Every child is unique, so their learning path shouldn’t follow just one route. If we only focus on the school’s exam schedule, it’s like pruning only one side of a tree, potentially neglecting other branches that could bear flowers.
True goal setting should begin with “discovery”:

• Moving beyond standardized templates to discover unique talents:Talent isn’t limited to “being good at math” or “being a great writer.” Some children are great at mediating disputes between friends; some are particularly sensitive to ecological changes; others can easily recreate images from their mind through drawing. Our job is to be like detectives, using diverse activities, in-depth conversations, and careful observation to help children see those overlooked “bright spots.” These sparks are often the very kindling that ignites a passion for learning.
• Setting “begin with the end in mind” phased learning plans:When a child says, “I want to be someone who helps stray animals,” that is a powerful “end point.” We work backwards with the child: To achieve this vision, what is the first step they can take in 2026? It might be “learn more about an animal protection organization,” “learn to write a compelling advocacy letter,” or “self-study basic animal behavior.” Such a learning plan, because it connects to an internal passion, becomes a meaningful exploration.
  When learning is about becoming “their ideal self,” children shift from “I have to do it” to “I want to do it”!

 

▍ Equipping Children with Two Keys for the Future: Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
In the future world, answers will be readily available, but the abilities to “ask the right questions,” “distinguish truth from falsehood in information,” and “create solutions from scratch” will become increasingly precious.

• Critical Thinking: Not just receiving information, but reflecting on life’s purpose:Encourage children to maintain curiosity and skepticism towards all information. Don’t just ask “What is this?” but also “Why is it this way?” “Are there other possibilities?” “What does this mean for me, for society?” For example, when discussing a historical event, guide them to consider the choices of people from different positions. This kind of thinking leads them to ponder deeper questions: Why am I learning this, doing this? What kind of life do I want? This sense of “purpose” is the strongest engine for long-term commitment.
• Problem-Solving: How to guide children to learn from setbacks:True problem-solving ability isn’t learned when things are smooth sailing, but after things “go wrong.” When a child faces failure, the primary task isn’t to give answers or comfort, but to accompany them in a “debriefing conversation”: “Which step was pivotal?” “If you could do it again, what would you do differently?” “What did this process teach you about yourself?” By transforming setbacks into valuable “learning experiences,” they develop “anti-fragility”—each fall makes them stronger.

 

▍ Learning Respect and Collaboration: Seeing One’s Place within a Group
In the AI era, what is most irreplaceable is the “deep connection” between people. A significant part of a child’s happiness and sense of achievement comes from healthy relationships. In 2026, cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaboration will be the norm.

• Respecting others’ perspectives to build deep connections:Respect isn’t politeness; it’s genuinely understanding that “the world can be seen this way, too.” Through activities, let children with different personalities and backgrounds interact. For example, have a rational analyst and a sensitive storyteller collaborate on a report. In the process, they learn to listen, express, compromise, and finally discover: Differences are not obstacles, but “creative fuel” that enriches the outcome.
• Leadership and Empathy in Teamwork:Future leadership is no longer about giving orders, but about “facilitating wonderful collaboration.” Let children take turns in different roles, learning how to support teammates, integrate opinions, and find value in others’ successes. This “empathy” allows children to find belonging within a group and see their own unique place of contribution.

 

▍ Practical Guide: 5 Steps for Parents and Children to Co-create a 2026 Growth Blueprint
Find a quiet afternoon, prepare paper, pens, and an open mind, and begin this dialogue with your child:

1. Time Capsule:Write to yourself at the end of 2026: Ask your child to use words or drawings to describe “What will I be like on December 31, 2026?” (Mood, what they are doing, who is around them, what they have accomplished?) Don’t talk about grades, only about aspirations. Let the vision fly free first.
2. Talent Treasure Map:Look back over the past year together and identify 3 moments when they were “especially engrossed, even losing track of time.” Discuss what abilities they enjoyed or were good at that they used in those moments. These are clues to their talents!
3. Primary Color Goals:Choose one goal from each of the three areas: “Character, Learning, Life.”
   • Character goal, e.g., “Be more patient.”
   • Learning goal, e.g., “Read English for 10 minutes daily.”
   • Life goal, e.g., “Make a new friend from a different interest circle.”
4. Turn Big Goals into a “Goal Staircase”:Break down the goals into tiny, daily achievable actions. Make the child feel these are steps they can climb.
5. A Personalized Support System:Think together about what resources are needed to achieve these goals? (e.g., a certain book, a workshop, a weekly family sharing time, a specific type of encouragement from parents?) Write down your agreement and post it somewhere visible.

▍ Beyond Education: Accompanying Your Child on a Journey to Find Their Light
Education is a long and intimate journey of companionship. We all know no single map can guarantee calm seas ahead. But we can give our children a sturdy helm (character), a telescope to see themselves clearly (self-awareness), and the courage to sail with the constellations (social connection).
We invite you, starting today, to not just ask your child “How did you do on the test?” but to ask one more question: “What interesting thing did you discover today?”
Accompany your child on this journey of self-discovery and self-transcendence. The destination of this journey is not a certificate, but an adult with shining eyes, a steadfast heart, who knows where they are going.
