There is a proverb that can always lead children early in life: the world is beautiful. No other faith can accompany him through the stumbling years, guiding him to face the magical encounter in life with confidence and desire. The belief in life hangs in a child's life like a rainbow. Without this belief, children will retreat into their own world, their eyes will no longer shine, they will give up the impulse to keep doing experiments, they will no longer observe things from a different perspective than adults, and they will no longer try to think of new ways to do the simplest experiments-such as piling wood, washing dishes, dressing backwards and so on. The world is beautiful-that's why I want to step into this world to explore, appreciate, stop to watch and touch, and meet the encounter in life with great interest and confidence.
Fear will paralyze children-it will subvert their innate trust, openness and interest in the world. If children want to develop in any aspect of cognition, emotion and body, they must be able to easily integrate into the surrounding life. They need to feel welcome and, most importantly, feel safe. When any one of us is not sure about the safety of our surroundings, who can take the risk to try new things?
Sometimes, some situations beyond our control will bring uncertainty or even worse consequences to our families. In addition, we can also say that this era is actually a changeable era. But at the same time, our children have just begun to live, and we should give them the inherent right to feel that the world is beautiful. I am grateful for this and am happy to be in it. This world can provide a safe environment for my growth. In the future, and for a long time, I will be able to bear the pain and pressure of this world. But please give me more time, peace of mind and space, let me discover the beauty of life by myself, and make me strong, capable, brave and passionate about life. Please protect me from the challenges of the adult world until I am ready. So, how can we do all this for our children?
We can protect children from information that they can't understand or digest-avoid adult conversations in front of children, and don't turn on TV or radio. Establishing children's daily life rhythm and letting them predict their own lives will help to accumulate strength and ensure that they spend their days in beauty and safety.
I heard that children are excellent observers, but they are not good at expressing themselves. Many parents and I feel the same way.
Whether it is the macro world around us and its difficulties, or the near or far political situation, or our careers and challenges, as well as our personal feelings of depression, anger and fear, children can't understand any of the above situations, which are all indigestible dishes for children. These will go directly into children's hearts and show up in ways we can't explain, because the information in these areas in life usually brings anxiety, tension, fear, withdrawal, insomnia or aggressive behavior.
As elders in children's lives, we may stand beside our children, full of confidence in life, and become the objects of their imitation. We lead them into our world and move forward with them. We have seen and experienced a lot, mixed with joy, pain, torture, discovery, celebration, disappointment-and fear and doubt. When we become parents, all these experiences and feelings have been experienced. As adults, we have unlimited freedom to explore these feelings and reflect on our own experiences.
As adults, if we often listen to the appearance of the outside world, how can we find our own way to firmly believe that the world is beautiful? Most importantly, we need to work hard for this belief, because children rely on the signals and images we give them to find their place in the world. Children will imitate our deepest feelings and beliefs, take them as pillars and give them strength when needed.
Let's go for a walk in nature and try to keep the good things we met recently in our memory. Start and end every day with gratitude for the beauty of life, even if it is not easy sometimes. Picking a small bunch of wild flowers or seasonal plants-a snowdrop or a primrose, an acorn, a polished apple-outside the door can remind us of the wonders of the universe. Looking up at the starry sky, people all over the world are connected with each other because of the same starry sky overhead. This miracle is thought-provoking. Find a poem, even if you never take poetry as your interest-just a few lines is enough-copy it on a piece of paper and stick it on the refrigerator.
Try to recall the intimate relationship that helped you through the journey of life, and gradually see if you can rediscover it in a difficult situation. The world is really beautiful.
Rudolf steiner once wrote a poem, which may help us gain strength in a difficult situation.
I stand firmly in this world,
Set foot on your own life path, you have a plan,
At the core of my life, I have great love,
Every action I take is full of hope,
What I remember in my heart is extreme self-confidence.
It is these five qualities that make me go straight to my goal.
It is these five qualities that make me.
