In the growing garden, children are seedlings and flowers, parents are hard-working gardeners, and emotional value is the showers that nourish growth.
The more parents can provide the following five emotional values, the easier it is to cultivate children full of happiness.
Give full recognition.
Every child has an elf in his heart who longs to be seen, and his parents’ approval is the light that illuminates it.
When children carefully take steps for the first time, when they outline the wonders of their hearts with immature brushes, parents’ words of "Baby, you are great" will make children draw strength from this recognition and explore the unknown with courage.
Convey a steady sense of security
Home is a safe haven for children’s hearts, and parents’ stable emotions are the solid banks. When it is stormy outside, children come home, see their parents’ peaceful faces and hear soothing words, and they will know that their parents are always a solid backing.
Failure in the exam, friendship capsized, these growing "small wounds" can be slowly healed in the warm embrace and firm commitment of parents.
Share pure happiness
Laughter between parents and children is the most beautiful music in the family. Parents put aside the seriousness of adults, play on the grass with their children, laugh at a childish joke and cheer for a snowball fight … This unreserved happy sharing is the spiritual wealth of children all their lives.
When children grow up, they learn to find beauty in ordinary days and look at the world with optimism.
Give understanding to empathy
Children’s sadness, anger and grievances may be insignificant in the eyes of adults, but they are an important process of spiritual growth. Understanding parents will bend down, look their children in the eyes gently and say "I understand you" softly.
Parents’ understanding can heal children’s inner waves and help them establish harmonious interpersonal relationships.
Show a positive attitude
Life is bound to have setbacks. If parents can light the torch of hope, children will not fall into the mire of despair. Persevering children can look up at the stars, embrace life with a positive attitude and continue to pursue happiness, even at the bottom.
Being a parent
When these five emotional values are used
Watering children’s hearts carefully
Let them grow up in love and warmth
In this way, children can bring enough confidence.
Toward the future
Take firm and happy steps.
