As a parent, I am extremely careful every time my child is rebellious, looking for various ways to tell her how to deal with emotions and teach her how to face difficulties. The book "I Falled into the Vacuum Cleaner" is exactly what I need.
In the book, in the tone of a little bug, I took my child to immerse myself in the experience of falling into the vacuum cleaner .
The children and the little flying insect flew into the room together, flew through the bathroom, living room, kitchen, and experience the wonderful time of freedom with the little bugs. Suddenly, as a switch was turned on, the little bug fell into the vacuum cleaner. The light and freedom outside form a strong contrast with the messy and darkness in the vacuum cleaner.
It is obvious that the mutation environment makes the child feel uncomfortable with the little bugs. The vacuum cleaner is like a small dark room, making the children's emotions like little bugs. They will be afraid, beg, angry and frustrated, and eventually learn to compromise with life. At this time, they began to face up to and manage their emotions and learn to discover and embrace the beauty of life.
You will find that as the little bugs change their emotions and attitudes, the environment in the vacuum cleaner is also different. From the initial messy and darkness, it gradually began to be cleaned by the little bugs in an orderly manner. It even found its own good friend, a silent listener - the toy of the puppy. Finally, with the treatment of the vacuum cleaner, the child and the little bug discovered the exit and finally gained a new life. At this time, I saw a light in my child's eyes and my emotions were truly relaxed.
What surprised me was that when I was discussing the story with my child, the child discovered another hidden story. This is the puppy playing in the room. The puppy originally played with his beloved toy, but when the bug fell into the vacuum cleaner, we found that the puppy's toy also fell into it at some point. What can the puppy have? It just wants its toy back. So it quietly stood beside the vacuum cleaner, from trying to exchange bones for toys to the final disappointment and sadness. When the vacuum cleaner was pulled away to deal with it, the puppy chased after him until another puppy appeared and his beloved toy was replaced by a newly handed friend. The puppy learned to let go and ushered in a new happy life.
Two stories happen in parallel and echo each other, which is very interesting. The book is full of ideas and unique style. The author uses humorous language and brushes to teach children to learn to live peacefully with their negative emotions, and teach them to face life bravely and calmly.
At the same time, the child also discovered other problems, which surprised me and surprised me. Who turned on the switch of the vacuum cleaner? How did the toys of the little bugs and puppies fall into it? If the switch of the vacuum cleaner can be turned on, it means that the vacuum cleaner can still be used normally. Why is it disposable then? If the vacuum cleaner was not disposed of immediately, has the little bug fallen in for a long time? …
I am very glad that my child has learned to deal with negative emotions and face difficulties, and it also stimulates his child's observation ability. Although there are many more questions after reading the book, maybe that is another fun story? Let the child think more and talk about it, isn’t it exactly what we expect?
