Pixar's cartoons, each episode gives people a warm and healing feeling, today we are talking about one of the animated short films produced by Pixar "Luna", which is such a few minutes of animation, which was nominated for the 84th Academy Award for Animated Short Films.
The film begins with a deep blue night sky, a small boat called "Luna" that carries Grandpa, Father, and little boy.
Grandpa and father competed to help the little boy wear a hat, and neither of them would give in, which also reflected the contradiction between tradition and innovation. The father propped up the ladder, the boy climbed up the iron anchor, and the father and grandfather followed. Their purpose was to clean the stars from the moon.
Father and Grandfather had different ideas, and Father suggested a tool basket, but Grandpa found another tool. The two quarrel over tools, which escalates the conflict. When the superstar falls and the father and grandfather find that no one's tools are used, the little boy begins to use his own tools to achieve his goal.
Animated short films are full of childlike fun, but in fact, they contain rich philosophies.
1
Give your child the opportunity to make mistakes to get it right
Fathers and grandfathers are like parents in reality, wanting to find the most correct path for their children so that they can reach their destination smoothly, but the parents' choices are not necessarily what the children want. When neither his father nor Grandpa's tools could complete the task, the little boy used his own methods to get the final result. Neither the father nor the grandfather stopped it, but let the little boy try it himself, giving the child the opportunity to try.
The ancients said: "Eat a trench and grow a wisdom." Youyun: "Failure is the mother of success." Now that society is changing too fast, if you want your children to be able to grasp the direction of their lives in the future, you must learn to let go and encourage children to try and make mistakes. Let them gradually adapt to changes and keep up with the pace of development of the times. The mistakes of the child's trial and error today, as well as the discriminating, cognitive, choice, self-confidence and resistance exercised in the process of trial and error, will bring a different force to his future.

It's key for children to have innovative thinking
The cultivation of children's innovative thinking needs the support of the environment, so first of all, let the children be exposed to more different environments, just like in the short film, the three grandchildren have boarded the moon, exposed to a completely different world from the ground, and stimulated the imagination of boys while considering different environmental factors, and this potential will be naturally exerted.
The sense of innovation is not only cultivated through indoctrination, but also requires parents to establish an environment of equality, mutual trust and respect for their children, so that children can boldly do it.

Develop the ability to think independently and solve problems
The grandfather and father still disagree on the way the child is educated, but in the short film, the boy does not show any contradictions, hesitations or even delays, but chooses his own tools very assertively. When an emergency occurs, the boy does not seek the help of his grandfather and father, but single-handedly breaks the stars and completes the task, which also reflects the boy's courage to break through the routine. Therefore, when encountering problems, in fact, children may find solutions on their own, not all things, children need parents to teach.
As the saying goes, "it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish", and the ability of children to have "independent thinking" is more important than having a full belly. Because the stronger the ability of independent thinking, the stronger the desire to learn, then the stronger the ability of lifelong learning, they have a strong ability to solve problems, but also will keep pace with the times to improve themselves, and finally become a popular talent in society.
The above 3 points are closely related and interlinked. In the growth of children, parents can appropriately "intervene", but it is more important to let them have the opportunity to try, and the reasonable scale will gradually cultivate the children's ability to think independently, so as to have unparalleled creativity.
