Parents love to play, only children have poetry and distant places

Once, when I was attending an art exhibition, I met a young painter born in the 1990s. Her paintings are vivid and bright in color. After getting familiar with it, I curiously asked, how did she embark on the path of painting? She happily told me her childhood stories. When she was a child, she was a child who loved playing with water. As soon as her parents gave her a bath, she was so happy that she splashed the water everywhere. Give her a bath and everything in the house will be soaked. If it were another parent, they might think that this child is really a headache, so they would use scolding and persuasion to end this behavior. However, after her parents discovered her love for water, they began to use the things she was interested in as carriers to cultivate her cognition and imagination. Parents buy bath salts of different colors and mix them in the bath water to make the water turn into brilliant colors. Every time she takes a bath, her family tells her that this is the green of the grass and the blue of the sky… Her parents also ask her, what other green things are there? Oh, there is a forest, there are vegetables for the little white rabbit to eat, and there are the eyes of the cat. Blue stuff, what else? There were blueberries, iris flowers, and the ocean… From then on, she gradually began to like different colors and began to have interesting imaginations. When she grew up, it was natural for her to become a painter who was good at using colors and creating. For safety reasons, her parents were with her at all times when she was playing in the water. They stayed with her in the water and played with various plastic and rubber toys, letting her grasp and feel them to improve her finger dexterity and hand-eye coordination. This also helped her a lot with her creative hands. Play can be a long-term effective investment, and it can be cultivated over time. She said she was lucky to have a pair of good parents who loved playing. They will play with their children, and they can regard troublesome things as opportunities to help their children grow. Plato said: \”Initial education should be a kind of entertainment, so that it is easier to discover a person\’s natural hobbies.\” Yes, when parents are full of love and play with their children, the children\’s preferences will gradually emerge. When parents are patient and accompany their children to grow, their children\’s characteristics will gradually develop. When parents love to play, the child\’s nature will be revealed; the child\’s advantages will gradually become clear. Parents who love to play can let their children see a richer future and gain poetry and distance. I have a neighbor named Xiaoyi, a sensitive and introverted girl. Xiaoyi\’s parents have always liked to take her to distant places, play everywhere, see the world, and go shopping. After Xiaoyi could walk, they often took her out. They took it step by step, first visiting the park in the community and the nearby shopping mall. Then go further afield to the city’s museums, art galleries, zoos and flower shows. When she gets older, I will take her to visit scenic spots in nearby counties and cities, and then the whole family will start traveling across the province. In the process, Xiao Yi gradually became cheerful. In the beginning, no matter where she went, she was very shy, always following her parents and hiding behind them. But later, when she visited more places, she gained more courage and dared to say hello and chat with the children and elders she met. When she is not limited to her own littleInstead, she goes out into the world, interacts with different people, and learns interpersonal communication. Her world and structure will naturally be different. When traveling, parents also intend to let her help and participate in arranging the family\’s itinerary. For example, what kind of transportation should I use to travel, what kind of restaurant should I eat at, and where should I stay? What is the most reasonable order to visit the scenic spots? So, she gradually learned to look up maps, make strategies, consider cost-effectiveness, and arrange everything properly. More importantly, her family taught her that she must plan things in advance and consider all aspects of the matter. She understood that everything will be successful if it is foreseen, and it will be ruined if it is not foreseen. Be well prepared in advance so that there won\’t be too many twists and turns and panic during the process. The biggest advantage of having her family take her around is that as a modern person, she has to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. From childhood, your baby needs to be well-informed. Traveling around will expand her knowledge, experience different lives, and become aware of the vastness and beauty of the world. Therefore, for her, going out to see the world is not a confused and unknown thing, but a commonplace and daily life. When we were children, we often heard some parents disdainfully say that Xiaoyi\’s family \”knows how to play crazy.\” However, when everyone grew up, the benefits of playing when she was a child were revealed. After going out to exercise for so long, Xiaoyi has long since transformed from a timid child into a brave girl, no longer afraid of showing off and interacting. Therefore, in middle school, her natural quietness allowed her to focus on her studies; while her acquired cheerfulness allowed her to participate in more activities and utilize more of her strengths. In this way, she also performed very well in club activities. She was good at studies and outstanding in extracurricular activities. Therefore, when the school offered a place for a publicly funded exchange student overseas, the opportunity naturally fell on her. A little girl has to travel across the ocean for a whole year, and her parents are not around to help her. It sounds like it\’s quite dangerous. But Xiaoyi\’s parents were not worried and said, \”My daughter can take care of herself.\” This is indeed the case. Before going on a long trip, she practiced her spoken English in advance, activated international roaming, applied for a credit card, packed luggage that met customs requirements, and brought commonly used medicines. While other parents were busy buying insurance for their children, going through exit procedures, and going to the bank to exchange foreign exchange, she no longer needed anyone to do it for her. She did all this herself and carefully prepared the conversion socket. Because when using electrical appliances, the voltage abroad is different from that in China. Ever since she was a child, when she was planning outing strategies, she knew that she had to check information for everything, think carefully in advance, and never go into battle unprepared. After going overseas, she did not face the anxiety and panic of a new world like some children. She has been accustomed to going out since she was a child, and this time she just wanted to go a little further. Among other exchange students, some have left the shelter of their parents and are very unaccustomed to living abroad. Because they live in a host family, in this environment, the language is unfamiliar, and the food and lifestyle are different. Some children are given several squirts at home every day.I got a phone call and said I wanted to go back, crying and yelling. But Xiaoyi was very calm. Because anyone who is used to traveling knows that when you go out, not all customs, food, and itinerary arrangements will meet your tastes and expectations, and you will also meet all kinds of people. Therefore, you must know how to adapt, know how to be considerate, and know how to take responsibility. Because she is able to accept, adapt, and accept the current situation, the cultural differences that other exchange students cannot stand are actually a good thing for her, a child who is used to going out to play: since she comes out, she wants to see different things. The world, experience the exchange and collision of customs. Having traveled extensively since she was a child, she understands that the most beautiful scenery is always on the road. Later, she successfully completed her studies as an exchange student. And in the subsequent study process, she has been great. In the journey of life, she actively accepts all kinds of new things and curiously seeks various opportunities just like she did when traveling in childhood. Even if she encounters setbacks and unsatisfactory things, she will not be depressed, but will actively adjust herself. Because she understands that it is like when you go out for fun, you will inevitably encounter situations where the train is delayed and the scenic spots are not beautiful. There are always things that are not what you want in life. You just need to keep an open and accepting attitude and keep going. She has been accustomed to this since she was a child. In the end, she received a full scholarship to study for a PhD abroad, and then successfully entered a foreign company, earning a high salary, doing research and development, and her career was smooth. Just like every journey, she must have a preset destination. She also thought about the career direction she wanted to pursue very early, so the journey was very smooth. Although her family is just an ordinary working-class family, when she was young, they did not have enough money to take her out of the country to play. However, their \”fun-loving\” cultivated her efficient mobility, orderly life planning, and optimistic attitude, which ultimately made her strong and cheerful, with a broad vision, and she was able to sail long distances in the sea of ​​life. Educator Kalinin once said: \”What the educator affects the educated is not only the knowledge taught, but also his behavior, lifestyle and attitude towards daily phenomena.\” Through play, what parents taught Xiaoyi, It is a treasure that she will use throughout her life. Playing is a child\’s nature. Whether playing at home or going out to play, children can have fresh and rich experiences, and they can also take this opportunity to cultivate their children\’s abilities at various levels. Playing can make children’s future lives interesting and rich, and it can also allow them to have high aspirations and fly to their heart’s content. At the same time, playing together can also increase the intimacy between parents and children and become a bridge of communication between them. When a child has both talent and love, he will have a better future, and he can become stronger and stronger day by day. Parents love to play, and children have poetry and distant places.
