A 5-year-old boy walked out accompanied by a staff member in the airport lobby of Sanya City, Hainan Province, on December 18, 2021. I saw him carrying a school bag and rushing into the arms of an old man with joy.
The old man shouted in relief, "How brave, my little treasure!" Little Treasure Zi came over, come over to Grandma here. ”
The boy has just turned 5 years old this year and his family is from Shanxi. At home, he chanted vigorously: "I miss my grandmother, I want to see her." "It's just so innocent and lovely to miss, but the child's mother is very difficult to do, because she is busy with work and has no time to take him."
The child's grandmother is Ms. Fu, and when she heard about this, she also felt some loss and regret.
Unexpectedly, the 5-year-old boy said amazingly: "Mom, I am 5 years old, I am a big boy." I can do it myself, you let me go to Grandma! ”
Although Ms. Fu also misses her grandson, she is more worried about his own safety, so she is a little hesitant. In the end, the two adults could not resist the little boy's repeated requests.
The boy's mother decided to say, "Mom, just let him come and live for a while." He wanted to come over anyway, I was too busy with work and didn't have time to take him. ”
The child's mother applied for an "unaccompanied minor" for her. In this way, children from 5-12 can take the plane alone, and there are ground service personnel and cabin attendants to dock and lead during the entire flight.
Even so, Ms. Fu, who is a grandmother, is still a little uneasy. So, rush to the airport early to pick up my grandson.
Unexpectedly, the grandson was well taken care of by the flight attendants on the whole road, and the child's courage was also very large. During the 3 and a half hour flight from Shanxi to Sanya, he did not cry or make trouble the whole time and obeyed the arrangements of the staff.
The moment he got off the plane and saw his grandmother, the little boy was very happy. He jumped with joy and rushed into his grandmother's arms.
Talking about this matter, Ms. Fu said happily: "I was afraid that he would cry after passing the security check, but I didn't expect people to run!" Haha, good brave little treasure. ”
Qiu Qiu would like to say: The current aviation service is still very intimate and thoughtful, even if there is no parental escort, you can smoothly deliver your child to the destination safely.
The airline's "unaccompanied minor service" is somewhat similar to the bus we used to take when we were kids. The parents dropped us off the bus and then informed the conductor of the destination and reminded us to get off when we arrived.
Children who can go out alone need courage and guts after all.
At the same time, under the premise of ensuring safety, it also exercises the courage of children. The fact that a 5-year-old child can fly alone to a distant place also shows that he is obedient, independent, intelligent and brave.
We adults can not be too restrictive to the pace of children, and if we have the ability to ensure the safety of our children, we can let our children go out of the house. This will give them a better chance to grow alone and challenge themselves.
