August 30, 2017? Wednesday? Sunny
When you got home, you were listening to your father telling stories with relish, staring at the storybook, listening attentively. Seeing that you were so serious, I couldn't bear to interrupt, so I sat aside and listened for a while. When Dad finished telling the story, you turned to the next page and asked me: "Mom, what did this perfect princess talk about?" I guessed that you still had more to say, but you were worried about us. I thought I had heard enough stories at one time and would refuse to tell you, so I asked us in another way.
Every time I hear a story, I ask you to tell it one after another, and I never get tired of listening to it. Sometimes my father and I are really tired from telling it, and we will reject your request. In order to satisfy your request, I will continue to tell you the story "The Perfect Princess". The content of the story is roughly: a grumpy king and a lazy queen gave birth to a princess. The king and queen hope that the princess will be a perfect princess, so She was named "Perfect". During her growth, in order to satisfy the king and queen, the princess worked hard to become as "perfect" as they hoped.
Suddenly one night the princess sneaked out of the castle. I don’t know what happened. The next day when the princess came back from outside, she locked herself in the room. No one asked her to come out. The king and queen He got angry and blamed, reprimanded and even beat the ministers violently. When the king and queen were at their wits' end, a lumberjack's daughter from the forest came. The king and queen asked, "King, do you often lose your temper? Queen, can you cook delicious food?"
The king knew that he She often loses her temper, and the queen knows that she is lazy and of course cannot cook any delicious food. So the little girl told the king and queen about the princess staying overnight at their house that night and what the princess was thinking: "Since you can't be perfect yourself, why Do you want the princess to work hard to be perfect? ??"
After hearing what the little girl said, the princess took the initiative to open the door and come out. After the king and queen understood this, the king never lost his temper again. , the queen worked hard to learn how to cook delicious food, and the princess finally let go of her heavy heart and became a princess full of laughter, joy and happiness. At the end of the story, the princess and the little girl became best friends. The little girl changed the name of the princess to "Gyroscope". Their happy and beautiful childhood life was like a top.
The story tells us that "no gold is pure, and no one is perfect." No one can be comprehensive and satisfy anyone, no matter how good you are, no matter how right you are, There will always be people who disapprove of it. The most important thing is to have a clear conscience and try your best to be the best...
After telling this story, we are ready to eat. I heard my mother-in-law say that you are doing your best today. You didn't go out and were waiting for the young lady opposite you at home. You told me: "**Chen doesn't keep her word. We made an agreement the day before yesterday. She came to play with me today. I was at home all day and she didn't come to me." The world of children is very simple, and it is easy to believe what others say. Just like during the Chinese New Year, grandma wants to go back to her own place, so she tells you that she will call you when you return there. Grandma just talks casually, not at all. I didn't take it to heart, but you waited very seriously and persistently for grandma's call, and finally let you down for three days. I know you must have been hurt and disappointed at the beginning. Why are others so easy to break their promises?
Today, the young lady has let you off again, and you must feel very uncomfortable. I comforted her: "Maybe my sister has other things to do today. You can also go find her by yourself and see if she is at home." You said you have gone to find her, but she is not at home. It seems that the young lady is really not at home. Young minds are very fragile. Please don’t let your children’s minds be shackles with blind promises. We adults must keep our word in front of our children. If we cannot do it, we should not make promises to our children casually, otherwise it will have a negative impact on the development of our children.
During the meal, you said you were sleepy and didn’t want to eat. In order to make you finish the meal, your mother-in-law used deception: "Hurry up and finish your meal, Chen**." You'll be out in a minute. I'll take you to find her." After hearing this, you quickly got up and went to the door to see if the door to the young lady's house was open. Your mother-in-law promised: After you finish eating, I will take you to find her and call her for you. She comes out.
In fact, I couldn't be sure whether the young lady would be at home later or whether she would come out to play, so I hinted to my mother-in-law not to say that.
The elderly educate and guide their children based on experience. When encountering problems, they like to use methods of "coaxing", "liar", "threat", "intimidation", "yelling" or "beating and scolding". Their educational philosophy is like this. We can't change it. We can only do our best first and try our best to educate our children. It is the responsibility of parents to educate their children and should not be entrusted to the elderly. So as long as we rest at home, basically We accompany our children by ourselves and try to minimize the negative impact.
After the child finished eating, he was no longer drowsy. I proposed to play badminton with you. The new racket I bought recently has not been used much. As soon as we opened the door, we saw Chen gliding a scooter in the corridor. You cheered: "Chen **, you didn't keep your promise today. You promised to come and play with me. I've been waiting for you all day. Why didn't you come and call me?" The young lady replied easily: "I'm going to go too." My mother-in-law is sick, so I went to see her."
You didn't pursue it after hearing this, and invited her to play badminton with you. She said that you don't know how to play, and she won't play badminton with you. After playing for a while, you guys find other fun to play, and I go back to the room to read by myself. While we were playing, you ran up to me and whispered in my ear: "Mom, let me tell you something. I told you 'incredible' before." After saying that, you ran out. I haven't I have time to ask you what "incredible" means. I don't know where you learned this idiom. New words appear from time to time, surprising me one after another.
I ran out to play for a while, then ran in and pulled me to the door: "Mom, come out and stand at the door. Someone will hold the child. There was a person with a painting on his belly just now. Come to the door to protect us... ..." Hearing what she said, I thought they were imagining some game to play. When I got to the door, Chen told me that a man had just come out of the next room with a painting on his stomach. We were all very scared.
Is there really a strange person appearing? I was puzzled. Then they said, "There are also children and aunties coming out of this room." I finally figured out what was going on. The house next door should be rented out. It might be a family of three. The two children had never seen each other before. Moreover, the men had tattoos, and the children were even more surprised and frightened. I told them that they were new residents and there was nothing to be afraid of.
They are still immersed in their own games. When you hear the door opening, you pull me: "Mom, stop reading. Open your hand and block the door. I want to hide." The more you play, the more excited you are. I stayed with them and read a book at the door for a while. As long as two children play together, they will never have enough time to play. The night time passes very quickly, so you have to take a shower. Dad promised that after taking a quick shower, you can watch an episode of "Smart Ikkyu". You are looking forward to it. I watched it with Sister Chen, so I took a bath very quickly without any delay.
When you came out, your father had already prepared it for you and went straight to watch the cartoon. Sister Chen had never seen this cartoon and was not very interested. You watched it with gusto, while others were absent-minded. On the way, I saw the little sister taking a new toy to play with without permission. The little sister got angry and snatched it away, but you refused to let go. The two children were pulling at each other. My father and I said in unison: "Hey If you want to play with your toys, you have to get other people’s permission. If others want to play with your toys, they have to get your permission, right?”
You were quite sensible and let go immediately, and your attention quickly shifted. In the cartoon, the little sister heard grandma calling her and went home. After you finished watching the cartoon, we read the "Book of Changes" together. Our performance today was not bad. I read the first ten Tang poems. You still like it. After reading the poem "Chang'e", I was able to recite it, which is amazing.
In the process of reading Tang poetry with my children recently, I found that the poems that I am familiar with are very easy for my children to read, and they can recite them quickly. The poems that are relatively unfamiliar to me, I feel that the children are interested in them. It will also be weaker. I wonder if this is the effect of the mother-son connection? So if I become familiar with the classics, will it be easier for my children to learn?
