The most anticipated festival for children of the year is finally here! The baby is looking forward to seeing you, but the adults dare not sit idle. In addition to busy preparing gifts, we are also busy arranging holiday projects. I believe that no parent would want to miss out on this day! So, what kind of gift should you give to your children to capture their "hearts"? Is it the toy they have been thinking about for a long time? Or go to an amusement park with expensive ticket prices? Or maybe having a nice meal together as a family? These are all good ideas. In addition, the most indispensable thing is, of course, to store enough spiritual food for the children.
There is nothing more beautiful in this world than reading with mom and dad. On Children's Day, Hong En Children's Park has specially launched a special reading list for parents and children aged 3 to 6 years old, from good night picture books to creative children's poems, hoping that every child can have a wonderful parent-child reading time. In fact, as long as parents are attentively accompanying them, every day is Children’s Day for children!

Name your emotions and you can overcome them: "Little Emotions, Big Emotions"
In fairy tales, those terrible monsters once Once the true name is spoken, it immediately loses its power.
The same is true for children's emotions.
It is natural to have emotions, but growth means that we are not just a stress response to the outside world, but also have a certain degree of autonomy. When children can recognize and identify their own emotions and name them, the first step in emotional management is completed.
"Little Emotions, Big Emotions" helps children name their emotions. What is anger? What is jealousy? What is sadness? When these emotions are described without judgment, the child feels deeply understood and accepted.
It is worth noting that when we talk about emotions, we mostly think of negative emotions. In fact, emotions are not right or wrong; they also have a positive side, such as happiness, joy, and excitement.
Emotions are the outpost to deep emotions. Small emotions actually contain great emotional energy. This is our highest goal in helping children understand emotions: to become a loving person. The pictures in "Little Emotions, Big Emotions" are naive and naive, full of French romance. The translator is the famous French translator Shucai.

Life Education: "A Day in the Life of a Mayfly"
Mayflies are the oldest living creatures on earth. Winged insects predate even the dinosaurs, and they are still living on the earth today. If you go to a stream or lake in summer, you can see their light and graceful figures. Despite the age of this species, life for individual mayflies is extremely short: adults live only one day. Therefore, there is a saying of "life and death in the morning and evening".
So, how does Mayfly spend his day? She is not sad because her life is short, but is filled with joy and makes this day (that is, her life) full of color. She lives in the splendor of every moment - she hears flowers blooming, she bathes in sunshine, she tastes sweetness, she embraces warmth, she kisses rainbows, she dances gracefully, she sows hope, and she leaves the most beautiful blessings to her children.
Many children will awaken their sense of life at the age of four or five. They will ask about the mysteries of life and death like philosophers. "A Day in the Life of a Mayfly" is the best answer.

Every child should be accepted unconditionally: "The Slug Wants a Hug"
The little slug discovered that its mother never hugged it , so it began to quietly wonder, is it because it is not good enough, so its mother did not notice it? Friends gave it various suggestions: the kitten suggested that it should become furrier, the goat suggested that it should have a beard, and the fox suggested that it should have a big fluffy tail... They all sounded very reasonable. The little slug dressed up in disguise and appeared in front of her mother, expecting a big hug. But to his disappointment, his mother was so shocked that she didn't recognize it as a little slug. The little slug couldn't bear the grievance anymore and poured out all his bitterness to his mother. The ending is both unexpected and hilarious.
Every child longs for the love of his mother. "Slug Wants a Hug" speaks to adults from the perspective of a child, conveying the voice of every child. Read this book with your children and make hugs a daily language between you and your children.

An excellent game for imagination: "I am a blop"
There is no such thing in the world blop, until a Frenchman named Hervé Dulay created it. After reading the book "I am a blop", a child once said with great enthusiasm: "I really want to keep a blop." But a blop is not a pet. It was originally an abstract shape, but it was magically given life, growing slowly like a child and taking on a world of its own. How did Dulay do it? With colors, lines, pictures, endless creativity, and a childish heart that is always playful, the world you see will always be different.

Every child is a poet: "Writing poetry is so fun"
When children are young, they often write poems. Because at this time they are least contaminated by external language, and what they blurt out is language that comes directly from the heart. In the eyes of adults, the world is often monotonous and outdated, but the presence of a clear child's heart can illuminate it again and again, bringing new ideas that surprise adults.
Shucai believes that childhood is the golden age of poetry, and children are closer to poetry than adults. Teaching children to learn poetry is not to master a writing skill, but to guide children to explore their own personality and discover the freedom and agility of their souls through this kind of learning.
If children master this kind of language that is closely related to the soul, they will no longer be easily held hostage by the rigid, mechanical, and empty language of the outside world. Poems will lead children to a broader and richer realm of life, and praise a soft and delicate soul in their long life.

There is a magic in this world called growth mindset: "The Courage to Dare to Try"
It is not easy for children to live in a world dominated by adults. Almost all of them were larger and more powerful than them. They especially feel insignificant when they are frustrated. If you don't get timely encouragement, you may slowly form a fixed mindset and no longer dare to try new things.
"The Courage to Try" makes every child understand: Each of us is actually very small, but the most important thing is not to be afraid of your own smallness; you must believe in your own strength and try bravely. It doesn’t matter if you are wrong; you must learn to ask others for help and also release your own kindness.

How does a little girl grow up: "Noni's Story" series
How does a little girl grow up? Maybe from the moment she boldly said the word "no". The more sensitive and kind-hearted a girl is, the easier it is for her to fall into interpersonal difficulties, and at the same time, she is under great psychological pressure in her heart. The "Noni's Story" series tells the story of the growth of an introverted little girl, Noni. Faced with the excessive demands made by her friends, she finally summoned up the courage to say "no"; faced with the new environment, she finally slowly overcame her nervousness; faced with the injustice that occurred in the school, she bravely stood up. Of course she experienced various psychological struggles during this period, and this is growth - becoming more and more determined, and more and more courageous to face difficulties. I hope she can become a role model for every little girl.
