She kept complaining that life was tight and her son’s kindergarten tuition was expensive. The adults were clearly chatting, but when they saw her son…

Why does the more you comfort a child, the harder he cries?
Some time ago, my son Xiaoshu just started going to kindergarten and made a new friend, Xuanxuan. One day after school, Xuanxuan’s mother and I were walking and chatting, while the two children were playing together. At this time, Xiaoshu wanted to pick a dandelion on the roadside, but Xuanxuan stopped Xiaoshu. The little tree insisted on picking it, so the two little guys argued for a while, and Xuanxuan began to cry violently. Xuanxuan mother…

What gives children a sense of security? It\’s not just because you stick with your mother.
A few days ago, a friend expressed his bitterness in the group. He said that since his son was born, he has insisted on taking care of him personally. I am afraid that the elderly will not be able to take care of them well, and I am also afraid that the children without their mothers will lack a sense of security. She felt fine before, but since sending her child to kindergarten, she felt confused. On the first day of school, my son hugged his leg and refused to let go. Two kindergarten teachers…

In the morning, I turned on my phone and saw that a friend had posted an urgent missing person notice in the circle. It turned out that one of her child\’s classmates had gone missing on the way home after participating in the school\’s coming-of-age ceremony rehearsal. I couldn\’t help but become anxious. This was a child of the same age as Zaizai. From my understanding, although children at this stage have entered pre-adolescence and are more self-seeking, their rebellious spirit is not…
\”Aren\’t you taking care of your children full-time? Why are your children sick?\”
I am a stay-at-home mother who has been with my child since he was born and has been with him for nearly six years now. Because I am a stay-at-home mom, others have higher expectations of me. This is normal. After all, isn’t taking care of your children full-time just to take care of your children better? Therefore, some questions are always asked directly or indirectly.
