I didn't really understand the meaning of delivering meals until my children were admitted to high school and lived away from home.
In the first week of school, parents are the most uncomfortable. They used to see their children after work every night, busy, tired and happy for him. Suddenly I can't see it, and my heart is empty, like being lovelorn.
At this time, through the opportunity of delivering meals, parents and children get together and talk a few words to comfort the suffering of lovesickness. The children have just arrived at the new school, and there are many maladjustments in the new environment. What can you tell your parents, communicate in time, and let your child develop physically and mentally.
Later, when I deliver meals every week, I can chat with my children. What happened to my child's heart? The parents' words were untied as soon as they were combed. Sometimes children have the heart to tell their parents, but they don't want to say anything when they go home on weekends. Because there are things that attract them more when they go home, such as playing games and playing mobile phones. Slowly, there are fewer and fewer words between parents and children.
Therefore, delivering meals and chatting in the middle of the week is very important for parent-child relationship and children's progress.
A newly graduated college student told me that he was addicted to playing games when he was in high school. At that time, the school management was not strict, so he could sneak out to the Internet cafe. But every week when his parents deliver meals, he looks at his parents' expectant eyes and decides not to play games next time and study hard. But after two days, I forgot and strolled out to the Internet cafe to play games. It was his parents who sent meals every week, which inspired him to enter the university. Otherwise he will be ruined by the game.
Another student admitted to a famous university said that it was his parents who sent meals every week, which inspired him to study hard and make continuous progress, and finally achieved good results.
Yesterday, on the school open day, I went to deliver meals to my children. I have just been divided into classes, and I have already taken the exam. He said that there were many students in his class who got full marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Five of the top ten students in the grade are in their class.
I told my son that your classmate is not just a bully, but a god! The child who used to be the first in the ordinary class has become the bottom of the class.
I asked the child if he had the confidence to catch up.
He shrank his head and said with a wry smile, "No confidence."
I looked him straight in the eye and asked, are you really not confident?
He immediately stood up straight and raised his head to show that he was confident.
In fact, lack of self-confidence is his first reaction, saying that having self-confidence is to comfort his parents and fear that they will be disappointed.
I stared at him with firm eyes and said, do you know the idiom "soldiers mourn first"
He said that he knew that the first idiom in every dictionary was "Mourning soldiers will fail".
I asked him if he knew what calling for help meant.
He nodded solemnly to show his understanding.
I said adding a horizontal line to the word "mourning" was a failure. Don't give yourself too much psychological pressure. Have confidence and believe that you can do it.
Sometimes, we are not defeated by our opponents, but by our inner pressure and fear of difficulties.
After listening to my words, the child walked to the classroom with his head held high as if he had just filled up with oil.
I also walked to the school gate with my lunch box and left the school.
Sending meals to children is not only to add meals to him and supplement his physical strength, but also to give him confidence, encouragement and positive energy in his heart.
