Last weekend, I went to skating class with my baby and met a mother who almost blew my lungs out.
This mother has a fluffy yellow hair shawl, her arms are wrapped around her chest, her right hand holds a bottle of pulsation, her feet are crossed, standing on the sidelines, tall, like a fierce lion and like an iron tower. When I walked to the sideline audience area halfway through my baby's class, the mother didn't know how long she had been standing in this position.
Her daughter, who was like a white swan, was dignified and long-statured, and had been practicing hook jumping for about two weeks. Gracefully sliding in a circle, a turn, bent legs hooked hands to jump, "snapped", the little girl was strong and smashed on the ice. The little girl got up, slid to the side of the field, and looked at her mother, Why do you have to work so your legs and jump a little lighter? ”
The little girl continued to slide out, repeating the action, smashing into the ice in the same position, climbing up, sliding to the side of the mother lion to receive the scolding.
The little girl began to get nervous, the force of the fall on the ice became greater, the mother's accusations and criticisms became louder, and when the child slid back, she began to dance and guide. Slipping out again, still falling, the little girl began to distinguish with a crying voice, "I didn't force it in advance, I really didn't." Cover your face and cry a few times, then slide out, and wrestle again.
My baby's one-hour class was over, and I began to move freely on the ice rink, happy like a big stupid goose slipping on the ice. The little girl did not know how many falls, still did not succeed, even I began to get nervous, sitting next to me to accompany the class parents probably as silently as I did the mother and daughter.
After the little girl took off, she shook twice and stood still, and I obviously saw a hint of relief on her face, and the expectant eyes looked at the lion mother, and the lion mother certainly did not know that there were several pairs of expectant eyes behind her looking at her.
However, she let us down, "What are you proud of, showing off you will be two weeks?" Can you stop bending your feet after landing? Do you stand firm in this way? The little girl lowered her head in frustration and slid out again.
After two laps, the little girl landed on the ground and could stand firmly, she returned to the sideline with a smile on her face, who knew that the evaluation of the lion mother became "Are you enough for two weeks?" How do I feel like you're not in place, and when you take off, your arm is also straining? Don't you want to make that much of a fuss? The little girl began to fall again, and when my baby finished half an hour of free activity, changed her equipment and left the field, the lion mother still stood outside the field in a posture, standing still.
Baby skating has been learning intermittently for more than a year, from the ugly duckling who could not stand on the ice at the beginning, and finally became a big stupid goose that can rush forward at a high speed. Whenever I see the swaying little butterflies and swans on the ice rink, I envy and look forward to it, and if my baby slides into the shape of a little girl who is wrestling, I will probably be very proud and happy.
I couldn't understand such a temperatureless exercise, and looking at my mother who was gritting her teeth like a lion on the sidelines, I reflected that I myself seemed to have made such a mistake.
In the first grade, I began to learn English, and in order to complete each recitation homework, I kept pressing the start and end buttons of the recording on my mobile phone, and said viciously, "Re-memorize, re-memorize." "Unskilled, come again." My baby still goes through my old accounts and says I'm like a witch.
The other day, I stood at my desk with my eyes peeled as I carefully signed her homework notebook, tentatively asking me, "Mom, can you not criticize me just in the notebook?" Can you give me a little praise? I suddenly realized that I seemed to be more and more "serious" about the signing of the matter, comparing the homework records to see if she had finished writing, whether she had written seriously, and then wrote some comments such as "today's efficiency is too low", "English composition needs to be rewritten", "reading time is not enough", rarely write a certain item, a certain word is written very well. The more you pay attention to it, the more you will pick faults, and where do you remember to praise this file.
In the process of accompanying the baby, I often forget my original intention while walking. I thought "Mother Lion" was something I hated, but if I wasn't careful, I could slip in that direction. So, from time to time, look back, look away, remind yourself to be patient, give your baby some praise, and give yourself some hope.
