This is my least happy Mid-autumn festival 😣

Before going to bed last night, my brother, who was obviously very tired, was a little restless after tossing and turning, so I asked him what happened? I saw the villain turned around and said to me, "This is the most unhappy Mid-Autumn Festival holiday I have ever had! Because I encountered two bad things. I really want to go back to the time when I had a flashlight that day, and I want to hear from my uncle. Words! " At the end, the corners of his mouth twitched and the result was a little whimper.

✔ One of the bad things

It is said that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I took my child home for a barbecue activity. At night, the child followed my uncle to explore the countryside with a flashlight. When they were walking, they accidentally let the mobile phone used as a flashlight instantly delineate the grasp of his small hands, and the crisp sound Indicates that the screen was broken. I could hear my uncle comforting him, but my younger brother didn't make a sound. It wasn't until I returned from the expedition that I cried in front of my aunt!

In fact, even if an adult breaks a mobile phone, he will definitely feel heartache, let alone an 8-year-old child? But if you can think about it: Isn't this a good opportunity for children to "learn from setbacks"?

I said in my brother's ear:

"If something is broken, it can be repaired. If it is not repaired, it can be replaced with a new one, isn't it? Think about how you fell when you were learning to walk in the past, can't you get up? If you can't write well, you can also erase and rewrite it? Dad has broken the phone before, and he had to replace it if he couldn't fix it. Therefore, I can feel your discomfort, and I can better understand why you are unhappy. So, Dad promises you to help you get the information on your phone. Back it up, including photos, videos, and even all downloaded games, all back, okay?"

The younger brother is very simple, but he also cares about the sense of ritual. He will remember if he is unhappy even on vacation, and then he will be sad for a day or two, but this is something that happens often in life, and parents should face it together ,accept. And the younger brother has also let go, because on Sunday afternoon, the child's uncle happened to have a spare phone that he couldn't use temporarily, so he lent it to the younger brother to use until we found a suitable phone.

Through this incident, I understand that when we encounter setbacks, we should not escape, but should feel the setbacks, then accept them, and finally be able to overcome them. This series of processes actually happens continuously throughout our lives.

However, the setbacks can be big or small, bitter and painful, and they are testing your endurance!

Recalling that this cheap renewal phone was given to the child by the nurse's friend, and it was also the first phone for my younger brother. He was very happy to have it, and even recently used it to play his favorite Conan theme song every day. Saying this phone is really a great thing is a useful tool, why let an eight-year-old have a phone? because of the epidemic.

However, this matter has temporarily ended.

✔ Bad things second

The younger brother felt that even the fake was bad. In addition to the broken mobile phone, even his favorite water gun was accidentally broken during use. It's no wonder that he would think of the misfortunes he had encountered in the past three days before going to bed.

However, children's emotions need to be stable. In addition to stability, they should also be taught to cherish, love and cherish things, and use them with safety and caution.

At the age of eight, I can't ask him to be cautious, but he can learn how to make safe movements in moderation without affecting the atmosphere of play. In addition to avoiding injuries, the purpose is to let children learn self-control.

Water guns are not expensive, but they shouldn’t be bought and dropped or thrown away. My brother and younger brother are very clear about this. Although something is broken under force majeure, it needs to be avoided in the future. I plan to tell my brother that I can buy another one for you, but if it breaks again, I have to face it and accept the fact. (meaning: I won't buy a third one again)
