The weather is getting warmer, and the spring season of high incidence of pediatric diseases is here again. Mothers with babies at home know that when the baby gets sick, the whole family becomes upset. The last time Su Bao caught a cold, it took almost a week to recover. A few days ago, I took Su Bao for a two-year-old physical examination, and met several sick babies at the pediatric clinic. A few days ago, a mother in China asked me that her baby had had a cold in the past two weeks, and it kept coming back…

Dad, it shouldn’t be a luxury
Many mothers left messages in the background saying they liked me. Because \”a father who pays so much attention to his children\’s education deserves praise.\” But I am not happy at all. Because what should have been done has become a rare thing. It can\’t help but make people worry. Raising children cannot be a battlefield for mothers to fight alone. Fathers should be involved in their children\’s education…
Accidentally, I made the mistake that most mothers have made.
I took Liuliu to club med in Sanya for vacation. After breakfast, the weather was warm but not hot. It was just comfortable. There were many children having fun on the grass. Liuliu completely ignored my instructions behind him to \”slow down, be careful not to fall\” and ran wildly in circles on the grass, just like a happy rabbit. Looking at the little figure running under the warm sun, I should have been happy, but…
The child always asks: Mom, will you die? Finally I answered like this…
\”Mom, can you wait for me to die together?\” When my sister Xiaoxi was in the kindergarten class, one day she heard that a small animal died in a storybook, so she asked me: \”What is death?\” To be honest, this question is really real. It was difficult to answer, so I struggled to explain to her in a way that she could understand and accept: \”To die is to lie there motionless, as if asleep…
There is a boy in the family, and dad has a long road ahead…
From the direction of my childhood, what I see is always your back… You called me to be a son, and I followed you to become a father. This is a poem from Bei Dao\’s \”For Father\”. These two poems tell the true meaning of the relationship between father and son: the father brings his son into this world, no matter how picky and challenging the son is, one day he will suddenly discover that his father\’s characteristics are also hidden in himself…
Respecting children too much is a dereliction of duty on the part of parents
One afternoon last week, I went to pick up my children from kindergarten. When I went there, the gate of the kindergarten was not open yet, and the parents were waiting outside. I also joined the waiting army. Next to me, several parents stood chatting and overheard their conversation. A mother expressed her frustration. Her son goes to bed too late at night and can\’t get up in the morning. Every day…
This kind of behavior of parents will leave a lifelong shadow on the children
I saw a topic on Zhihu that exposed scars: \”What is the one thing that hurts you the most about your parents?\” Many people mentioned their parents\’ verbal violence. One Zhihu friend even summed it up with a slightly ironic sentence. Words: No one is more gifted with words than parents when it comes to hurting their children. Why do so many people hold back the verbal abuse they suffered as children? Probably because…
What\’s so annoying about second-born kids fighting? It\’s your own wrong mentality
Fighting between the eldest child and the second child is an unavoidable problem in families with two children. Whether there are two sons, two daughters, or one son and one daughter, all kinds of fighting and fighting are inevitable. Some people say that if the age difference between the second child is large, there will be no fighting. In my opinion, unless the age gap is so big that the eldest child is already an adult when the second child is born, fighting will still occur. Our older sister is older than our younger sister…
Your \”good intentions\” are killing your children\’s creativity
I had a dinner date with a friend two days ago, and the conversation turned into a \”psychological consultation.\” My friend works in a university that is envied by many people. She has winter and summer vacations every year, but she says she is extremely anxious. She is more tired than anyone else. Lectures, scientific research, administration, and further studies all have to be compromised, and she may not be able to succeed. Well done. What made her even more uncomfortable was that with this step-by-step rhythm, she simply couldn\’t…
If my child has a fever, do I need to wake him up at night to give him medicine? Will it burn out the brain?
Let science answer it. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to wake up children to give medicine. The seasons have changed recently, and the temperature has been hot and cold. There are many children with colds and fevers. There are also some infectious diseases that make us more worried and anxious. Especially at night, once the child\’s temperature is measured and he has a fever, we start to struggle with whether to wake him up and take antipyretics. After checking a lot of information, I found…
