The story of "Skyscraper Rescue" is set in a tallest building in Hong Kong. The skyscraper suddenly burst into flames, and Security Will is suspected of being an arson suspect. And he must prove his innocence while saving his family trapped in the building.

A film that embodies personal heroism, the plot of saving the world is nothing special, but one of the episodes impressed me: the male protagonist's family is in danger, the male protagonist puts his wife and son in the elevator, ready to use manual Control the way the elevator goes through a skyscraper surrounded by blazing fires. At that time, the son opened his terrified eyes and said to his father, "Dad, I'm afraid." According to common sense, the father's standard answer to his son should be: "Don't be afraid, you have to be brave, you are a little man!" Face]

However, the father's answer in the play is quite scientific and reasonable from the perspective of psychological emotion and emotional intelligence research! Dad said: "It's normal to be afraid, we can be afraid, we are afraid to be more brave!" Really want to like this line?

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the courage to move forward with fear. The father's answer fully reflects the acceptance of his son's emotions and affirms the rationality of his son's emotions, which is very important for his son's future self-acceptance. The children who have been nurtured in this way must be children with extremely high emotional intelligence. Easier to have keen perception, acceptance and adjustment.
