Gifted girls - how many parents are using their children to fulfill their dreams

Maribel 2022-03-28 09:01:04

To put it eloquently, there is no passionate climax, no ups and downs in the plot, and some are accompanied by an "unreliable" uncle. When the sun sets, the persistence of an uncle who wants his niece to be an ordinary person, a person who is not familiar with the world. Children who are obsessed with the piano, who is right and who is wrong, go with the grandmother, all the material conditions they desire are within easy reach, but the price is still terrible. The possibility that the deceased daughter could not help her fulfill her dream, the smart girl understands everything, what her grandmother wants, and she also understands that her uncle is a really good person around her, even though he has no official job, even though he has no medical insurance, although he Her private life is disordered, but that can't stop the persistence of an uncle who keeps him from following his mother's old path.

The screenwriter has 2 points that impressed me deeply. I hope that in the future, I can also communicate with my children in this way:

1. I am angry with my child, and the child is very aggrieved: my uncle did not apologize directly, and I found what Mary did. The same thing told him that sometimes when something happened, it wasn't true, it was just a momentary anger, and I hoped Mary would understand.
2. Mary felt that her father was by her side, but she did not go to her. She felt abandoned: her uncle did not explain directly, but took her to the hospital to see the birth of the newborn and told her that her background was the same Makes people happy, she is valued. This kind of empathy makes the child instantly write off his sadness.

I hope that when we communicate with children, we don’t just use our own ideas to communicate, and change our thinking from a different angle. The effect may be even more unreasonable. I also hope that as parents, we understand that children are not a weapon, not to help us achieve our dreams. Weapons, they have their way to go, as parents, what we have to do is to grow together and watch independence.
