It rained heavily for two days last week, and finally the weather cleared up. After dinner, I took Xiao Tao for a walk downstairs. Many children are playing by the fountain: running back and forth with their little feet in the puddles, catching water from the fountain with their little hands through the fence, and putting toy cars in the puddles to serve as boats. …Xiao Tao also joined the team excitedly. At this time, Da Jun’s mother came over aggressively: “Da Jun, mom told you not to play in the water. Look at the mud on your body, how dirty it is!” I looked at Da Jun, and his smiling face was covered with mud spots. The legs of his trousers were also half wet. Dajun\’s mother pulled Dajun: \”Let\’s go home and change clothes. You are such an adult, why don\’t you get dirty!\” Dajun was very reluctant, and said as he walked: \”I\’ll play for a while longer…\” One after another, several children were called home by their parents: \”Stop playing, they will get dirty\”, \”Your clothes are wet, you will catch a cold easily…\” Three or five children were dragged back by their parents. After leaving the family, only Xiaotao and a 7- or 8-year-old boy were left. Xiao Tao and this little brother happily ran around in the puddles, like two butterflies that had just burst out of their cocoons. After playing for about half an hour, they both turned into \”little clay figures\” and sat on the steps to rest out of breath. On the way home, I asked Xiao Tao: \”Did you have fun?\” Xiao Tao said: \”Mom, I am so happy. It would be even more fun if there were more children!\” Why not let children play in water and mud? Most parents seem to prefer their children to play games and activities that look \”clean and elegant\”, such as sitting quietly on the floor stacking blocks, playing the piano \”ladylikely\”, and watching cartoons obediently… Taoma carefully After thinking about it, why do people like \”clean\” children? The reason may be fear of trouble. Indeed, it is too troublesome and tiring to take care of children. If the clothes are dirty, they have to be washed. They want this now and then that. They get angry when they disagree… To put it bluntly, we should not waste time on crawling around or playing. Parents who play with water and mud are a little selfish: I don’t want to clean up the mess for you…Mom, don’t stifle your baby’s nature. Children like to play with water and mud, dismantle toy cars, and tear apart picture books. They are experiencing some things first-hand. It is the nature of every child to be full of curiosity and fun. In fact, playing with sand, mud, etc. can not only exercise children\’s hand operation skills, but also improve children\’s physical coordination, including the coordination of large and small muscles, and hand-eye coordination. This will also enhance children\’s intelligence. Taoma noticed that some parents bought a lot of brightly colored plasticine for their children, but in fact the brightly colored plasticine is likely to contain heavy metals such as lead, which may cause greater damage to the child\’s body. It is not necessarily better than outside. The sand and mud are clean. If parents are worried that ordinary water, mud, and sand are unhygienic, they can often take their children to walk on the beach at the seaside, go to the pottery studio in the mall to squeeze mud, or go to the park.Play on the artificial beach. When a child is having fun playing, even if he gets \”dirty\”, parents should pretend not to notice and let him play freely. Text|Little Tao Mom
