"Behind every big man, there is a great mother" ,In the way of education, Roald's mother is indeed different. Many of her practices are worthy of our thinking and reference as parents.

4span_strong__strong__strong_ His sister and father died of illness one after another.
His mother, a young Norwegian woman, received such a double blow one after another, and had to take care of the remaining five children in the family alone (one child will be born in two months).
But Roald's mother just carried it over. She did not choose to sell the house, take some luggage and take the children back to her familiar home in Norway, where there are parents who are willing and waiting to help her.

So she stayed in , which is very close to England, and stayed for a while in Wales. Taking advantage of this time, strong _24 will provide better life for the children in the future.

02 Study at a church school not far from home.
Because boys are naturally naughty and playful,He and a few friends who were playing together did a bad thing in "cooperation"-they secretly put a stinking dead mouse into the candy jar of the old lady in the small shop that they all hate.
This "rat conspiracy" that made the partners so proud was quickly revealed. The principal called them all to the office, told them to bend over and touch the ground, wave the yellow long cane stick, and beat the child violently on the bottom.
Little Roald went home that night holding his hot and painful ass. He didn't say anything, but his mother found out. She looked astonished and hurriedly asked: "Who beat this? Tell me right away."
After hearing the whole story from the child, she immediately asked the nanny to help the children sleep and put on their hats. I went to the school to find the principal.
An hour later, she came back and said to Roald very seriously, "I hope you didn't do it, it made me unable to get off the stage" _span29 _strong4span Unable to tell the principal not to beat the child, he had to decide to let him finish the next semester and take him to a regular English school as soon as he was finished.

Use a strong heart and a tough personality to win the trust of a child 4 _span4 pstrong4 _span4 _span4 _span4Not only can it bring a sufficient and stable sense of security to the child, and encourage him to explore his own world freely and fearlessly, but more importantly, this kind of personality charm can often infect and impress the child, he will be more willing to listen to your opinions and move closer to you in behavior .
Little Roald’s feelings for his mother are like this. Although he did not specifically mention it, but in the book, he often uses to use "I don't know how my mother handles it", "God knows how she found it", "But my mother Know exactly how to do it, we are never afraid to wait for a series of exclamation sentences to describe her.
In his eyes, his mother has always been very powerful, and there is always a way to make them feel at ease.
Also because of this model that can be imitated, Roald would swim at a very young age. was driving his when he was seven years old. Explore a strange island deep in the bay ,He and his sisters and sisters all enjoyed these thrilling journeys, brave, tenacity, and calm. All the mothers have, and the children also have them.
Once, Roald’s eldest sister took the family out for a drive in a car. Unexpectedly, the eldest sister's driving skills were not proficient enough. The car finally hit a tree. Roald, who was thrown out of the car, was seriously injured, and his entire nose was almost cut off.
In such an emergency, a carriage owner who was blocked from the road went up and complained to his mother, "You are blocking the whole road. There are a thousand new eggs in my car, if I They can’t be delivered before noon, they won’t be sold until next week, so they won’t be new..."

During this period, his mother has been waiting by his side for more than eight hours. After the child woke up, he smiled and asked him to look under the pillow. It was a gold one pound coin with the head of King George V ,"This is to reward your bravery. You did a good job. I am proud of you", the mother said to her son with a smile.

span _strong I remember to give a happy trip to my child once every year, I have to give a happy 4sp_strong2p_strong4span2p_strong The most clear is the joy of summer vacation. At that time, their mother would take them to Jiaomei Island, "the most amazing in the world".
They will stay in a simple wooden hotel run by an old couple. During the day, mother and another big brother will row a boat and take the children to a mysterious little sandy ground. There, they played water, boating, and games, freely playing for three or four hours.
When the children can swim, the mother also gave Roald a motorboat so that he can carry his sisters and sisters to the various small islands around. Those islands have wooden frames with shipwrecks, shellfish stuck to rocks, and furry goats. are all rare treasures that children are happy to get .
In the evening, children and adults will sit on the motorboat to fish, and then return to the hotel with the fish caught. The fat lady chef in the kitchen will prepare a sumptuous and delicious dinner for them.
When he grows up, every time Roald remembers this wonderful and happy childhood experience, he will be as proud as a child with a different glory, and happily introduce to people "This is what we have been through." day".

_span2p for the child to save his precious growth memory for his mother, because he valued his mother's precious growth memory, because he valued his mother span_strong_span2p As agreed before, send him to St Peter’s School in England. This was the first time he lived in a boarding school. He missed his mother so much, so he began to write letters to her.
In this way, from the first Sunday of St. Peter's School to the day when his mother died thirty-two years later, he would send a letter to his mother as long as he left home.
each of these letters,His mother was well preserved and carefully tied into a bundle with green tape. She had not mentioned it to her son, but was doing these things secretly alone.
Later, my mother passed away. When Roald got home, his family gave him a large package of more than six hundred letters that he had written to his mother, with old stamps on them.
He was really shocked and very grateful to his mother, so that he can still see things with precious memories when he grows up. He feels very lucky.

4span Returning the land to him decides that this is the greatest respect that a child deserves to grow up. In this regard, Roald's mother is particularly natural and free.
When Roald Jr. was twelve years old and wanted to choose a public school to continue his studies, his mother said to him, "I want you to enter Marlborough School or Repton School, you want to enter Which one is it?"
Roald only knew that these two schools were both famous public schools.But it just understands that they are famous brands. He casually chose the Repton School whose name is easier to read. After listening to his words, his mother readily responded: "Very well, then you can go to Repton."
When he was in the last school year in Repton, his mother also came to him and asked him: "Do you want to go to Oxford or Cambridge after graduating from high school?" Roald, who wanted to go to Africa or China, replied. Say : "No, thank you, I want to find a company directly from school to work", and my mother also nodded to the child's seemingly random decision.
Then Roald finally encountered a company assigning him to work in distant Africa, where he would stay for three consecutive years.
Roald was still very happy about this, he ran home the first time to tell his mother, and told her that he was going to go for three years. As the only son of his mother, Roald and his mother have always had a close relationship. Most mothers feel a little sad when faced with this situation.
Three years are a long time, and Africa is far away, but mothers don’t let even the slightest worry or reluctance affect the happiness of the children. "Oh, that's a good job! Great news! This is exactly where you want to go, right?" Then,She took the whole family to the London dock to see off her son who was away.
Perhaps these things are small and plain to most people, but what parents can do for their children and the love they give to their children, which one is not made by this kind of accumulation? ? When he needs it, you are there, when he pursues, you retreat, parents use this attitude to achieve their children's dreams. "Dad" and "The Adventures of Flying Giant Peach" are very popular with children. You can accompany your children to see them if you have time.
