Every child will have a lot of fantasy ideas when he was very young, including you and me when he was a child. But why do many of us become numb, dull, and even bored and indifferent when we grow up? What do you want your baby to look like when you grow up? Still keeping fresh and energetic to the world? Or just live day after day and day in order to live?
In life, we often see such people, who are nearly fifty years old, but they are curious about everything around them. His children bought a smartphone, and he happily accepted it and asked about the operation method like a child. Gradually, he learned to send WeChat, learn to browse Douyin, and learn to watch videos. You see, after working hard every day, he happily looked at his mobile phone, knowing his fate and being proactive. Such people are really admirable and likeable.
On the contrary, there is another type of person who buys mobile phones. They obviously like them very much, but they have to be picky, complain about not spending money randomly, and then keep saying that smartphones are not good at all and cannot play with them when they are old. No matter how you want to teach him repeatedly, he waved his hand hard and said that it was too difficult to learn or not.
All the elderly were once innocent children. When every child was young, they had many strange thoughts in their minds. What made them eventually become two completely different types of people? Putting aside social influence, family influence must be extremely important.
Today, the baby suddenly said to me that mom, I don’t want to go to outer space anymore, I just want to stay on the earth. After hearing his words, I was very curious because he always hoped that he could go to outer space to see. Today, I was puzzled when I said this, so I asked him why. He said that because there is an ozone layer on the surface of the earth, but other planets do not, they cannot protect themselves, so they don’t want to go. Haha, it makes sense. I smiled and said yes, as long as you think it makes sense, you can make a bold decision! He seemed to have received great support when he heard this, and then he started to have a wild idea, such as if the earth quakes and he would leave with a rocket, etc., completely immersed in his imagination... I didn't interrupt him, but just encouraged him with my eyes and listened to him saying seriously.
In this kind of listening, I kept reflecting on it. If he said he would not go to outer space, I interrupted him and asked him why he went back on his word and didn't know how to persevere, etc., he would definitely feel that he was not understood, let alone the next imagination. The child is very young, and he knows that he is very young, so he especially hopes to be understood and affirmed everywhere, and they are also growing up through constant temptation. As long as it is beneficial to the physical and mental health of the child, if it can be interrupted, listen patiently and do not overcorrect it. Over time, the child's self-confidence is encouraged, and the sense of self-efficacy of gradually increases. Gradually, he can truly become himself, and his curiosity about the world will remain youthful. Even if Huafa has been born, he can maintain his curiosity and love for the world.
