1. In a two-child family, how should parents take good care of everyone
I have some second-child families around me, and they always have to face some special problems at the beginning, more or less. Unlike a child, a second- or even third-child, multi-child family, no matter how hard their family members try, the energy of their caregivers is always limited.
How do we take care of the feelings of all our children as much as possible with limited energy? This is a place where we need to think a lot and explore a lot.
Today, I want to introduce parents to a picture book, especially suitable for those who have a second child at home, and some of the situations they may face, which are described in this picture book. The name of this picture book is "The Troubled Monkey and His Brother."
2. The Troubled Monkey series
The Upset Monkey and His Brother is the sequel to Upset Monkey. The book "The Troubled Monkey" mainly tells the story of a monkey named Jim, who wakes up and is irritable for no reason. The picture book created by the author Suzanne Lang and the illustrator Marx Lang and his wife let the children understand the value of emotional management, and at the same time, in the promotion of the whole story, we also see the great role of "love" in it.
And today we are going to talk about the picture book "The Troubled Monkey and His Brother", which tells a more tender story.
The distraught monkey finally got a little better because he was about to go to his parents' house and party with his family, and it was an all-night party.
What can monkeys do with a carnival? The storyline set by Suzanne Lang is very attractive. Jim's friend Norman the gorilla also learns of the incident and asks Jim to take him to the party.
Thus, Norman met the Jim family. Jim's mom and dad are very kind, and he also has two empathetic sisters, Ann and Nan. There was only one little monkey, and Jim chose to avoid talking about it. This little monkey is Jim's younger brother "Tim".
Norman comes to Jim's extended family, which is so loving. They play games together, and these games attract the attention of children very much. Termite fishing, flea catching, mangoes, being tall and so on. In addition, they have to tell horror stories, eat suppers, drink jungle punch, and of course, the most important thing is to play - through - all night!!
We can see from the story that although Jim seems to be upset with his brother, he is actually very loving. "The Troubled Monkey and His Brother" shows the warmth between the brothers in the family very delicately. Although as an older brother, Jim was still too ignorant to express this affection. More often than not, he is always awkward, but Jim's mother knows Jim's emotions very well, and she always uses kind jokes to explain Jim. Jim was able to relax as a result.
Jim is like the little children in our family, saying that he is not happy, but he still likes the relaxed atmosphere in the house. Norman falls asleep at the party that has been agreed to be partyed all night, Tim falls asleep, Jim gets ready to sleep, but Mom tells everyone to get up.
For a monkey who lacks sleep, it is estimated that this is a new unhappy day. However, seeing that the family is so loving, the upset will always pass, right?
3. Growth is always inadvertent
Upset monkeys are like the eldest son in a two-child family. Although he was an older brother, he was still a child. For the love of his parents, he wants to open his mouth to refuse, it seems to be very dismissive, in fact, he is reluctant to do so. His younger brother Tim received more love at home, and Jim's heart was sour, and he was not very happy when he mentioned his brother. Mom balances this out, taking care of his emotions and unraveling him at the carnival party. When Jim also felt the warmth and love of his mother, the haze that filled his heart dissipated.
Bloodline is so magical. In a family with multiple children, it is impossible for everyone to receive the same amount of love. But at least, between family members, there is a warm relationship with each other. The warm embrace of his mother and the selfless trust of his brother all brought Jim a new feeling. In families with two or multiple children, parents do not have the need and cannot give each child the same love. More often, children do not want equality, but uniqueness on the basis of understanding. Targeted care, personalized preference, is what children want most.
Children know that their parents love themselves and will not compete endlessly. It's a warm home, it's a home with love. Norman was a witness of love, he was asleep, but his snoring was more peaceful.
Even if there are times when we are upset, our family will always be able to warm our hearts.
