A 5-year-old girl made a difficult decision that left her mother ashamed…

The little nephew, who is less than two years old, has a dragon head and a tiger head, and he is particularly cute. He was sick a few days ago, and I came to my sister\’s house to visit Longlong. Before I entered the room, a cry came into my ears. I walked into the room quickly, and the scene in front of me was a mess. I saw my sister holding Longlong tightly with one hand, preparing to put the potion into the child\’s mouth, but Longlong\’s face was full of fear, his head dodged from side to side, he clenched his teeth and uttered something vague like \”No, no…\” His face was covered with small drops of sweat or tears. Longlong\’s grandmother was holding water next to her. When she saw this, she quickly put down the water and fixed the child\’s head. However, Longlong\’s mouth still couldn\’t be pried open. When she saw me coming, she heard her sister shout loudly: \”Come and help.\” ! Help me hold down his hands and feet. I\’ll pinch the nose.\” Seeing this busy scene, I didn\’t have time to think. I just blindly followed my sister\’s instructions. I held down the child\’s hands and feet with both hands, but when my hands touched The child\’s wet and cold body made me regret it immediately. I felt that I was the accomplice who aggravated the child\’s pain and fear. Don\’t let me feel guilty, my sister pinched the child\’s nose and poured the medicine in, but the child immediately spat it out. This \”thrilling\” drug-feeding operation ended in failure. Afterwards, I planned to hug the child to comfort him, but he resisted. It seemed that he had not recovered from the fear just now, and he was still sobbing quietly. How familiar this scene is! When I was a child, my daughter had poor immunity and would catch colds and fevers at the slightest disturbance. This was always the most frustrating time, and feeding her medicine was a big problem. The above \”drama\” would happen several times a month. Today I have revisited that \”unbearable\” parenting experience. I think we should reflect on it. Why do children \”desperately resist\” taking medicine? Maybe a wrong concept is \”misleading\” you and me. For some things, we mix too much adults’ thoughts and behaviors into it, so that children cannot see or experience the true side of things. We have neglected and underestimated our children’s endurance and their courage to face difficulties and setbacks. One thing I learned: the courage of children to face problems is beyond our estimation. I still remember the scene that day. It was an early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the air was particularly fresh. We drove to the Tashan Scenic Area near our home for morning exercises. Every time we came to Tashan, we always climbed a mountain, first for exercise, and secondly for exercise. Come and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the mountain. I thought this time it would be like before, we would complete the entire mountain climbing process together. When we came to the foot of the mountain, the child said: \”Today I have to climb up by myself. You can\’t follow me.\” Her father agreed immediately. I immediately objected: \”No, this is too dangerous.\” I made a lot of assumptions to try to dispel their ideas, but I was rejected one by one. They were in high spirits, but I was like a solitary bird. Seeing that I couldn\’t resist them, I said to my husband angrily: \”The child is ignorant, so you are fooling around.\” But my husband said: \”It\’s okay, just let her try. You always want to protect her, but this won\’t work.\” In fact, it’s not that I don’t want to let go, but although this mountain is not very steep, it isThe steps on the road were of different heights and full of potholes. I was trembling with fear every time I climbed them, let alone a five-year-old child who had never climbed a mountain alone. Emotionally I couldn\’t convince myself, but I couldn\’t find a better reason to refute, so I had to sullenly say: \”You go up on your own, I won\’t go.\” But the two of them were fine, they just listened to my husband\’s careful instructions. So, we set off from two different routes. After a while, I couldn\’t bear the torment in my heart and hurriedly followed her, but I was too far away. In my heart, I complained about her father\’s carelessness in putting her in danger, and at the same time, I carefully prayed that every step of my daughter\’s life would be safe. Walk carefully, for fear that she will miss the mark. This process feels very long. Finally reached the top of the mountain. I let out a long breath, feeling mixed emotions in my heart. My daughter looked up when she saw me and said with great pride: \”Mom, I climbed up by myself today.\” The sun shone on my daughter\’s young and sweaty smiling face, and I saw courage and confidence in my daughter\’s face. At this time, I felt inferior to myself. The gentle breeze blew away the haze in my heart, and my heart suddenly became much clearer. Children are like young seedlings. When they experience wind and rain, they will eventually grow into towering trees.
