On February 6, the Chinese women's football team regained the Asian Cup after 16 years, which made countless Chinese people excited.
Football has always been considered a man's sport, and now Chinese women's football girls have proved with their own practical actions that football is also a women's sport.
The victory of the Chinese women's football team has also pointed out some directions for us to raise children.
Gender is not a boundary line, prejudice is
When it comes to football, many people first think of "men's game", and everyone is familiar with male stars such as Messi and C Ronaldo.
Because of its fiercely confrontational nature, the sport is considered by many to be unsuitable for women.
Mommy's Daughters Kindergarten has arranged many interest classes for children, including art, dance, football, taekwondo... Children can choose which classes to attend according to their own interests and hobbies.
Mommy's daughter said that she wanted to play football, and the child's father was not happy when he heard it: "We are girls, football is learned by boys, is it okay for us to learn dance?" ”
There are many gender biases like the child's father, most of the boys in Mommy's daughter's class have football in the interest class options, and the girls choose football, but only Mommy's daughter is the only one.
In the eyes of most parents, boys are more active, more aggressive and more athletic, so football is a good sport. The default girl's personality is quiet and gentle, and it is not suitable for the sport of fierce confrontation such as football.
In fact, sports do not distinguish between men and women, only like it or not, which Chinese women's football girls have proved to us, stop using gender stereotypes to limit the development of children.
Boys can learn to dance, girls can play soccer, gender is not a boundary line, prejudice is.
Others set limits for children
In the semi-final of the Chinese women's football team vs. the Japanese women's football team, the Chinese women's football team fell behind twice, and many people felt that the Chinese women's football team was going to lose, but they did not expect that they carried the pressure and won the defeat.
Later, the same was true in the match with the South Korean women's football team, in the case of physical fitness and score, the Chinese women's football team once again staged a shocking reversal and won the Asian Cup.
In the case that many people are "not optimistic", the Chinese women's football team flipped against the wind and won the championship.
In life, when we raise children, we have not made such mistakes:
When children want to eat by themselves, we are always worried that they will not do well and want to do the work for them;
When a child proposes to challenge something, we try our best to help or stop it because we are worried that he or she can't do it;
……
Sometimes it's not that children can't do it, it's our "worry" that limits their development.
At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, in the short film "Future Champions", the scene of 1-year-old Babe and a puppy skiing together turned over netizens.
A little guy who can't even walk steadily, but he can familiarize himself with driving the skis under his feet and gliding steadily on the snow, thanks to the "trust" of the child's parents, and she is not deprived of the opportunity to try because she is still young.
Raising children is actually a process of understanding children and guiding children to become better selves.
As parents, we should first treat the child as an independent person, break the inherent stereotype of gender, and do not artificially set limits for the child's life, so as to better discover the child's personality talent.
