Some time ago, her friend's child often asked her: "Mom, will you leave me in the future? Will you die when you get old?" She was a little at a loss when facing the child's questions. If you tell your child bluntly, everyone will eventually die, and you will be worried that your child will not be able to bear such a result; if you tell a sweet lie, you will say that you will not die, and you will always be with you, and you will be afraid to face the child's doubtful eyes.
Later, I recommended the picture book "The Badger's Gift" to my friend, and asked my friend to take it home to read it with his children. Although this is a picture book about death, after reading it, I found that it does not bring sadness and sadness, but a kind of warmth that makes people move.
In the story, a group of animals live harmoniously on the grassland, and everyone likes the elder - badger. But the badger knew that he was old and knew that he would soon be "in life". In order not to make friends sad, he told everyone in advance that one day he would go to a long underground tunnel.
One cold winter, the badger left. Although the badger didn't want his friends to be sad, everyone was still very sad. Winter went and spring came, and friends sat together and talked about badgers again. Although badgers were gone, he left everyone with a precious gift - a heavy memory!
mole Remember how badger taught him to use an origami to cut out a long list of moles, and frogs. I also remember how I took the first step of slipping on the ice with the help of badgers and then became a master of ice skating. There are also good memories of teaching fox to wear a tie and teaching the rabbit to make rabbit-shaped gingerbread.
Disney animated movie " Dream Journey to Hit " says, "There are three deaths in a person's life. The first time is that your heart stops, your breath disappears, and you are declared biologically dead; the second time is when you are buried, people attend your funeral in black, and they declare that you no longer exist in this world; the third death is the last person in the world who remembers you forget you, so you really die, and the whole universe is no longer related to you, and no one will know that you have ever been there from now on."
Let children understand "death" is a kind of life education from a broader perspective. Talking about "death" is to make children respect life better, maintain their love for life, and do more things that can make the world better. Only by understanding the heaviness and irreversibility of death can we understand that we cannot give up life easily at any time.
