Several colleagues and I talked about the confusion of having a second child at home. The boss bullied the second child, and the boss was not ready to welcome the arrival of the younger siblings. Today, I saw this film by chance. To a certain extent, it solved the parents' concerns. Annoyance.

cute little gentleman

Xiaojun, who is a brother for the first time, can't accept that his sister has taken away his parents' love and attention. The parents of Xiaojun, who has become a parent of a second child for the first time, don't know how to deal with Xiaojun who suddenly becomes irritable and unreasonable. The author lets the future of the newborn sister in the family meet Xiaojun, and let the past mother and great-grandfather meet the current Xiaojun. The family members are like towering trees. It is because of the meeting of our ancestors that we exist. The older generation The precious qualities precipitated in the trajectory of life have also been integrated into the blood of the younger generation. In the process of our growth, they lead our way forward, just like the bravery of the great-grandfather that made Xiaojun overcome difficulties and learn to ride a bicycle in the end. . As parents, we should forgive our children's occasional naughty behavior, because maybe we, as children, feel that those naughty behaviors are an indispensable part of a happy childhood, just like Xiaojun's mother's past and Xiaojun's present meet, together Mess up the house, get along with the kids, shrink yourself down and become their playmates, back to your childhood selves, maybe the kids' irritating behavior will become understandable.

This is a film suitable for the Spring Festival holiday. The warm bond between the family is very healing. May your present meet my future, my present meet your future, and stand between children and parents. We, under this substitution, may understand each other.
