? I have read many picture books, and the most unforgettable one is "Ann's Seed".
? I came into contact with "An's Seeds" by chance at the Dabie Mountain Seed Teacher Training Conference. In the library of No. 7 Primary School, I accidentally read it during a break in the venue, but after reading it, I couldn't put it down. Just like drinking tea, the aftertaste is endless. After the training, I still missed this book when I got home. So I bought a new copy of "Ann's Seed" online. Keep it on your desk and look back at it often.
? As people grow older and experience more, they can be moved by a person or a thing. How precious it is! It is fate to meet you.
? "An's Seed" tells a story about "waiting". There are three little monks in the story: one named Ben, one named Jing, and one named An. One day, the old monk gave them a thousand-year lotus seed and asked them to plant it.
As soon as Ben got the seeds, he went to find tools. He planted the seeds in a ridiculous place. The weather was very cold and the seeds withered soon. Jing first read a few books to study how to plant, then found a gold plate and planted the seeds. After Jing's careful care, the seeds grew into several small lotus leaves. But Jing covered the plate again with a gold lid, and the seeds died soon after. An Xian put the seeds into a cloth bag and spent an unforgettable winter with them. In spring, Ann took out the seeds. He first chose a small pond with tadpoles and grass around it. An planted the seeds in the center of the pond. An went to see the seeds every day when she needed water. Soon, the seeds grew into a thousand-year-old lotus.
? Ben, Jing, and An represent three types of parents: the first type is parents who ignore the growth patterns of their children and blindly act recklessly. As a result, they can only have three minutes of enthusiasm, and those who fail quickly will fail. quick.
? The second type is smart parents. They are knowledgeable and educated, and are wiser than the first type of parents. They take great care of their children and will try their best to provide them with the best living or learning conditions, but in the end most children will fail. Because parents never understand that flowers in a greenhouse cannot experience storms. Unfortunately, there are many parents like this.
? The third category is parents who are broad-minded, calm and calm. They will not worry about the small honors and setbacks in their children's growth. They will always maintain a peaceful mind and watch their children grow up slowly. How valuable this is in our current impetuous and utilitarian society!
"The Seeds of Ann" blew into my heart like a breeze and made me start to look at myself. Looking back on the eighteen years of accompanying my children in their studies and growth, I originally wanted to be a calm An, but instead I often played the role of Ben and Jing. When my son was young, I enrolled him in various training classes, including painting, piano, taekwondo, Go, calligraphy, Mathematical Olympiad, and English, for fear that my child would lose at the starting line. During the learning process, children are often criticized and blamed for poor performance in exams. But they forget that parents should give more encouragement and support.
? Reading "The Seed of An", I seemed to be Ben Hejing who was eager for utilitarianism. I saw my own narrow-mindedness and selfishness. Why can't I be a mother like An? Every child is the seed of a thousand-year lotus. We should respect it as it is, wait quietly, and enjoy the process of accompanying our children.
? I have received the "seeds of the thousand-year lotus", but do I follow the natural growth laws or do I encourage the growth of the seedlings? Ordinary trivial matters often bring us impetuous mood. After reading "Ann's Seed" quietly, I feel that I have found my direction. I hope all parents can read this book. I hope we can slow down our search “outwardly” and look “inwardly” instead.
? As I read and read, I would often ask myself, we are chasing everything so crazily, what do we really need?
