I don’t know if you, as parents, have realized that as your children grow up, how to educate them well has become a big problem. Now I really wish my child could go back to her childhood, even in kindergarten. She was so innocent and cute back then, making us laugh every day. When she makes mistakes, she will act coquettishly towards us, and we can’t do anything to her if we have a temper.
As she entered elementary school, everything slowly changed. When she was in kindergarten, every time she came home from school, she would happily tell us what happened in the kindergarten that day. Since entering elementary school, she has told us less and less about things in school (including learning). Until now, she will not mention how she was at school that day even if we don't ask her. When she was in kindergarten, every time we taught her how to do something, she would listen carefully and then do it immediately. Since elementary school, I don’t know when she started to learn to argue with us, whether in life or in study. If she made a mistake, we taught her how to correct it. Either she bowed her head and remained silent, or she would quibble with us. Sometimes she would even turn around and go back to her room and slam the door. At this time, my wife always said: Why is this child so stubborn! I don’t know what other people’s children are like. My child has just entered the fourth grade of elementary school, and she probably hasn’t reached the rebellious stage yet. I think she has a stubborn personality. I will tell you something that happened to her, so that it will be clear at a glance.
It was when my child was in the third grade of elementary school. One afternoon when she came back from school, she looked unhappy. When asked why, she said she did not do well in the math test, and then she locked herself in the room. When it was time for dinner, she said she was not in the mood to eat and would not eat at night. My wife quickly reasoned with her, saying that she was currently growing up, and her body couldn't bear it if she didn't eat, etc. No matter how hard my wife tried to persuade her, the child just wouldn't eat. At that time, I got angry with her and told her that if she didn't eat tonight, she wouldn't be able to eat all day tomorrow. She actually said she wouldn't eat if she didn't want to eat. At that time, I really wanted to beat her. The next morning, after washing up, she picked up her schoolbag and asked me to take her to school. In fact, my wife had already made breakfast for her, but she refused to eat it. When she went out, my wife even put a few slices of bread into her schoolbag. When I came home from school at noon, I saw that the bread in her schoolbag was not eaten. I felt distressed and angry. I asked her to eat quickly, but the answer she got was that she still wouldn't eat. I was speechless. Later, we were in a stalemate until it was time to go to school and then sent her to school. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, my child's class teacher called me and asked me to come to school quickly. My child suddenly vomited during class. I hurried to school, and when I saw her squatting at the school gate holding her stomach, I almost shed tears. I felt so distressed. After thanking the teacher and the child and going home, I cooked some millet porridge, but she vomited after eating a little, so I had to take her to the community hospital to get some medicine. After returning home, she fell asleep in bed after taking the medicine. Fortunately nothing serious happened and she would have no problem eating after waking up.
We lack good ways to educate our children. Can anyone with experience in this area give us some guidance?
