Dear parents, have you ever caught that sparkle of agility in your children’s eyes? It is not simply curiosity or naughtiness, but a child\’s innate spirituality, an innocent curiosity and infinite imagination about the world. Today, Doudehui would like to lead everyone into a thought-provoking topic: why we should cherish certain habits of children instead of rushing to correct them, because they are the embodiment of children\’s spirituality. The word spiritual light, the starry spirituality within the child, may sound a bit abstract, but it is actually very concretely reflected in the child\’s actions and thoughts. It is a child\’s curiosity about a flower, yearning for the starry sky, and endless imagination for stories. Spirituality is the way children communicate with the world and their unique perspective on understanding life. But many times, our adults’ worldview and values unconsciously limit children’s spirituality. We tell our children \”don\’t do this\” and \”that\’s not right\”. Our corrections may be extinguishing the light in our children\’s eyes little by little. Let’s think about a question: Do we really understand our children’s world? Have we given our children enough space to freely express their spirituality? Or are we always eager to use adult standards to judge and correct? Spiritual cultivation requires an environment full of love, understanding and respect. As parents, our role should not be that of our children’s “habit correctors” but rather that of guardians and guides of their spiritual growth. What we need to do is to discover the unique meaning behind every habit of our children, and encourage and support their exploration and creation. Dear parents, children’s spirituality is precious and is the source of their personality and creativity. Let us work together to create an understanding and supportive environment for our children to grow up, so that their spirituality can bloom freely. In the following content, Xiao Yunduo will discuss in detail five children\’s habits that we should not rush to correct, and how to correctly understand and support these habits. Let us enter the world of children together, protect and cultivate their spirituality, and let them thrive in love and freedom. 5 Habits, Wings of Children’s Spirituality 1. Children like to be in a daze. Being in a daze is a way for the child’s brain to rest and organize information. In the process, the child may come up with new ideas or solutions. Don’t interrupt your child’s daze moment, this is an important moment for their inner thinking. 2. Children love to ask “why?” Questioning is how children explore the world. Behind every \”why\” is a child\’s desire for knowledge and curiosity about the world. Encourage children to ask questions and give them satisfactory answers whenever possible. 3. Children like to imitate. Imitation is an important way for children to learn social skills and behavioral norms. Through imitation, children can integrate into society more quickly and understand the behavior of others. Provide opportunities for imitation so that children can learn through imitation. 4. Children sometimes become “disobedient”. “Disobedient” may be a way for children to express their independent thinking and wishes. Respect children\’s choices and guide them to understand the consequences, rather than simply commanding and prohibiting them. 5. Children love to take things apart. Taking things apart is a way for children to explore how things work. This spirit of exploration is scienceThe starting point of thinking. Provide a safe environment and materials for children to learn through disassembly. Cultivate spirituality and unleash children\’s creativity Psychologists such as Piaget and educators such as Montessori emphasized the importance of respecting children\’s natural development. They believe that children\’s development should be self-directed rather than imposed by the outside world. Specific suggestions are to accept children\’s daze: Create a quiet environment for children to allow them time and space for inner thinking. Encourage your children’s questions: Give patient answers to your children’s questions, even if some of them may seem “silly”. Provide opportunities for imitation: Let children imitate different roles and behaviors through role-playing games and other methods. Respect your child’s independence: As long as it is safe, let your child make their own decisions, even if those decisions may be different from our expectations. Support children\’s exploration: Provide children with toys or objects that can be disassembled so that they can learn through disassembly. As parents, our responsibility is to guide and support, not to control and restrict. We should be partners in our children\’s growth, not obstacles. Dear parents, every habit of our children is a reflection of their personality and should not be corrected by us. Let us understand and support children\’s spirituality with a more open and tolerant mind, so that they can thrive in love and freedom. Remember, children’s world is full of infinite possibilities, and our understanding and support are the most solid backing for them to explore this world. Let us together be guides and supporters on the path of children’s growth, rather than restraints. Finally, I hope this article can bring you some inspiration and help.
