Yesterday, a friend talked about asking children to retell stories. She said it was so frustrating. Later I asked her why. It turned out that the teacher asked her to read a book and retell it every day, but the child didn't know how to say it.

, after a few hours of tossing, both parents and children were devastated.

I told my friend that the reason why the child cannot retell is that on the one hand she doesn’t know where to start, can’t find the key point, and her thinking is confused, so she has no way to start. On the other hand, she has not practiced. If she is given a

With good guidance and regular practice, the child will naturally be able to retell stories, so I told her the five-finger retelling method, which I have seen in several books before.

It was used on Xixi and made appropriate modifications.

After reading a story and retelling it, if you don’t organize your thoughts and find out the key points and key points to say, let alone children, it is also difficult for adults to tell it. So yesterday, because of this question from a friend, I started to consciously think about it again.

Let Xixi retell the story, because we haven’t retell it for a long time. If an ability is not exercised regularly, it will gradually decline.

Yesterday I chose a book from the Beibei Bear series "Contentment". This is a story that Xixi is very familiar with and has heard it many times. I deliberately found a book that was familiar to her and that was meaningful and could make her think.

I read it to her first, and then organized her thoughts according to the five-finger retelling method. I stretched out my thumb to think about who the protagonists of the story were, Sister Bear and Brother Bear. I stretched out my index finger to think about the background of the story, Little Bear.

Every time after my sister and Brother Bear go to a friend’s house to play, they will complain that others have many toys of this kind and that, but they don’t have them. They stick out their middle fingers and think about the problems caused by this book. We must cherish the things we have and don’t always

Compare with others; hold out your ring finger and think about the plots that describe contentment. They have a mother who can make hot cocoa and a father who can light a fire. The father also tells them about thunder and lightning, and the family is happy.

When we are together, we are very happy and content; then we stretch out our little finger to describe the ending of the story. We must know how to be content and cherish what we have now.

Following this idea, I asked Xixi to retell it. At first, she was still not confident because she thought the story was too long and didn’t know what to say. She thought she was going to continue the details and original words of the story. I told her, just follow the instructions mom just gave.

In terms of the idea of ????what you said, you don’t have to remember everything, as much as you can say, and you don’t have to remember the original words. If you really can’t remember, your mother will remind you, and then she will start talking, thinking to yourself while talking.

Now editing, I mainly reminded her of some key points to say, and she felt pretty good after retelling it.

After retelling the story, I asked her to think about what we have now. We played a game together, and each of us talked about what we had and what made us happy.

So we played rock, paper, scissors. Actually, she didn’t know how to say it, so even if she won, she still said the loser first.

I said that I feel very happy now that I can walk with you. She said that I feel very happy with my mother's love. Then I started with the health, safety, food, etc. I have now, including some small daily life.

Things that we tend to overlook, such as I have a pair of comfortable shoes, which allow me to walk lightly and not feel tired. Xixi is very surprised. Does this count?

I said of course. The purpose of saying this was to guide her to think in detail and focus on what we have now.

Xixi always likes playing games every time. Just like the last time she played the game to see who has the most advantages, she couldn't stop playing this time. She originally said she couldn't even come up with five things, but ended up saying ten.

She didn't want to stop yet, so she said she would continue until we couldn't say anything anymore... Later, we talked while walking, and when we arrived at the door of a friend she usually loved to play with, she stopped and went to play with her friends.
