The three of us talk about "Dumbo"

When we mention elephants, we can't help but think of "Blind Man Touching the Elephant" and "Cao Chong Weighing the Elephant", which are all stories we heard in our childhood and school days. For Tigress, among other things, they've heard "Baba the Elephant" and "The Little Elephant in the Big City."

Yesterday, a new addition to our memory was Dumbo. Before going to the movies, we watched the cartoon "Dumbo" at home. Produced in 1941, it is the shortest (64 minutes) animated feature in Disney's animated film, but it holds a special place in Mr. Walt Disney's heart - it's a joyous one from beginning to end Movies, and Dumbo was also listed as the "Animal of the Year" by "Time" and placed on the inside page of the magazine.

After watching the movie, as usual, the three of us had to talk about our own movie-watching experience.

In line with the principles of "loving children" and "ladies first", we first invited Niuniu to come on stage. The little guy thought about it and came up with the word "true love" , which made us look at it with admiration. When asked "how to understand true love", Niu Niu said, "Sister and brother love this Dumbo very much", and praised the child's meticulous observation and high refining ability!

Then, Xiaohu went into battle, let's see how he wrote it.

Mother's love trumps everything

Today, I watched Dumbo, and it's about Dumbo and Dumbo being separated, and the treasure was almost finished, and finally the mother and son were reunited and went home.

After watching the movie, three key words popped into my mind.

The first, the elephant. Because the protagonist of the film is an elephant, although it is an elephant, a mother's love is not inferior to that of a human being, which is worthy of praise.

Second, work together. Because of everyone's concerted efforts, Xiang's mother was finally saved.

Third, miracles. Because it was difficult to make an elephant fly, but with everyone's encouragement, Dumbo succeeded.

A feather can make an elephant fly, and a dream can make you break through the sky.

After Xiaohu wrote this weekly diary, to be honest, I was really shocked. The first is the title, the second is the three keywords, and the third is the last sentence. It is not inferior to any philosophy master at all. As the saying goes, "Three people, there must be my teacher"!

Children's little brains have always been a magical little universe, and they have an innate "force" in them. In fact, all we need to do is to take good care, guide and inspire!

In the battle of father and son soldiers, finally it was the old father's turn to play.

To be honest, whether it is Disney or other American blockbusters, there are always those routines, always those plots, but why does it always make us linger, and always touch our hearts? In fact, it is still knowing and moving with reason and emotion!

In addition to the above four points mentioned by Hu Niu, I think Dumbo also reminds and reminds us that there are three key words that parents should remember and practice in life.

Believe. This sentence in the film can be said to be daigo empowerment "Learn to believe in your children, what children need is not a perfect parent, but a belief in their parents", to use chicken soup language, this is "believe in the power of belief"! Indeed, neither child nor parent is perfect. The reason why we are destined to be together, the next thing we need is mutual trust, mutual achievement, and hand in hand. Whether our children are in good times or bad, all we parents can do is to be their most reliable navigators and most loyal cheerleaders, navigating for them, cheering for them, cheering for them, and lighting their hearts. Light and the way forward.

respect. The father and mother in the film both hope that their sons and daughters will inherit the father's business and continue to work in the circus, but the daughter has a different dream and hopes to engage in scientific research. This is a true portrayal of the real world. The vast majority of Chinese parents have designed their children's education and career paths early on. In fact, this must be effective, and must be what children like? As parents, we need to work hard to cross the age gap between us and our children, to see the world through their eyes, to feel their hearts, and to give them overall acceptance, support and respect. As Mr. Gibran said, "Your children are not your children, but children whose life desires for themselves. They come through you, but not from you. They are with you, but they do not belong to you. You. You can give them love, but not their thoughts, because they have their own thoughts. You can shade their bodies, but not their souls, because their souls live in the house of tomorrow, You can't even dream of them. You can try to imitate them, but you can't make them like you, because life doesn't go backwards and doesn't stay with yesterday."

kindle . Benbao can't fly, but it is because of the belief, respect and encouragement of his siblings that he has strengthened his confidence. On this basis, it met Feather by chance, and finally embraced the "flying" Fan and achieved a miracle. In this sense, the feather is the ignition point of Dumbo, and it is precisely because of this that it ignites its inner flying power and makes it fly. Back in real life, as parents, do we have enough faith, respect and encouragement for our children, and have we found the spark for our children to take off? These are actually worth our thought and effort! Instead of letting your children make blind comparisons with "other people's children" and "the children you want" all day long, it is better to spend more time with your children, go into your children's hearts more, talk and act with your children more, and have more empathy resonance.
