Tell your children: Life is not a race, but a journey

While traveling during the National Day, we had dinner in a restaurant at noon one day. While waiting for the meal, my son happily told us some interesting things he discovered during the trip and his thoughts. At the end, he said: \”It\’s great. I don\’t have to worry about the composition this time. I can write several travel notes. Traveling is really good. It allows me to gain a lot of knowledge, which I can\’t learn in textbooks. Mom, I will graduate from elementary school soon, and my homework will become more and more intensive. Can we still travel often in the future?\” My husband and I looked at each other and said, \”Of course, no problem. As long as we have time, my father and I will try our best to take you out. When traveling, first travel around the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and then go see the big world outside. We believe that you can balance the relationship between study and play, and benefit from travel.\” Shortly after my son was born, I often talked seriously with my husband Discussion: How to train your son so that he can become an adult, grow up happily, and live happily. We all agree that a child’s growth is a long process, and we should let nature take its course and not encourage it. Let him bathe in the rain and dew, slowly jointing. Academic performance is important, experience is even more important. Children are children, and they should feel the splendor of spring, the lushness of summer, the harvest of autumn, and the silence of winter in the embrace of nature. Let him touch the green leaves and red flowers with his own hands, sweat freely under the scorching sun, pick golden fruits, and build a big snowman. Let your children grow up naturally and happily, don\’t rush or rush. \”You kid, why are you so ignorant? You\’re not paying attention at all. You\’re fumbling here and there. When will you be able to finish your homework? Hurry up! If you mess around again, I\’ll beat you up!\” Xun Xun said, not far away from us. , a family of three were sitting at the dining table near the window, and the father was yelling at a seven or eight-year-old boy. The boy lowered his head and almost burst into tears. His father was still urging him and being aggressive, and his mother was also supporting him. Looking at the poor child, I felt very uncomfortable. Children cannot choose their parents on their own initiative, but parents can work without taking exams and without certificates, regardless of whether they are qualified or not, and regardless of whether they understand education or not. After finally having a vacation, it’s time for the whole family to enjoy it. When traveling, it’s time to relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and cultivate your sentiments. It is unreasonable to let their children do their homework in a noisy restaurant while traveling, but these parents still felt confident and taught their children a slap in the face. This is of no benefit. It not only allows the children to complete their homework with high quality, but also affects the whole family\’s interest in traveling and makes them feel unhappy. The vacation is so long, you can definitely leave a day or two aside, wait until you get home from the trip, and let your children do their homework quietly in their room alone. If your schedule is very tight, you can wait until you return to the hotel in the evening to let your children wash up and relax before doing their homework. Is it really just a short time to wait for the meal? Obviously not, it can only mean that these parents are obviously prone to anxiety. They tighten their nerves and force their children to wind up and rush forward without any slack. They live too tiredly. We must not only work tirelessly but also enjoy every moment to make this life worthwhile. In the European Alps, there is aScenic avenue. However, many people pass this highway to reach the towering peaks in the distance, and few stop to appreciate the scenery along the way. To this end, the locals erected a placard on the roadside that read: Walk slowly and please enjoy! In the process of educating their children, many parents are like those climbers who only care about rushing and do not understand the scenery along the way. They desperately urge their children to run fast and surpass others, depriving their children of the childhood fun they should have. Children who grow up in this way will have a life full of shortcomings and unhappiness, even if they achieve excellent results in the future. Such parents are always used to treating life as a race. As a result, both themselves and their children are tired and sleepy. You might as well regard life as a relaxing and comfortable journey. While walking, admiring the beautiful scenery, and comprehending with your heart, you get what you want easily and happily. Yue Xiaodong, a Ph.D. in psychology from Harvard University, said: Happiness is a feeling in people\’s hearts and an open-minded mentality. Happiness comes from the ease and satisfaction of life, as well as the infinite vision and hope for the future. Relaxation and satisfaction, longing and hope, this is the mentality of traveling. When your life is full of relaxation and hope, then happiness will accompany you. Dear parents and friends, give childhood back to your children and let them play happily when they should play. Even if they are playing in the mud and getting dirty, even if they are lying on the ground staring at an insect in a daze, even if they are talking to themselves in front of a flower or a leaf… this is how they are releasing their nature and exploring nature. The mystery of life, the first thinking in life, is also a kind of learning, and it is the most effective learning. These are extremely precious moments that will have an indelible impact on their lives. If they are stopped rudely, it is tantamount to killing their precious curiosity and desire to explore. Without these two qualities, studying and studying will lose its appeal to them, and their results will not be satisfactory. I believe many of you have read \”Leading a Snail for a Walk\”. Raising a child is like taking a snail for a walk. It cannot be too fast. You must walk slowly with it so that you can smell the fragrance of flowers and hear the chirping of insects and birds. , feel the gentle breeze, and see the bright stars in the sky. Only then will we discover that it is our children who give us more understanding of life. Dear parents and friends, please tell yourself and your children: life is not a race, but a journey, so enjoy it. Life is a one-way journey. I hope everyone can cross thousands of mountains and rivers, see thousands of scenery, and realize their dreams.
