From elementary school to nearly thirty years old, the thing I insisted on the longest was to keep a diary, and I was once punished for sneaking into a diary in class.
Today, I have nearly dozens of diaries, large and small, and friends often joke that I must burn them before I die, because there are too many people's little secrets on them.
I see that many experts say that it is necessary for children to write enough pages, and there must be a beginning and an end, so as to exercise children's writing ability. But I think that journaling and composition are completely different things!
A diary is just a summary of the whole day, it can be a journal or an emotional venting board, it is a conversation between yourself and yourself when you review the events of the day.
If you write a diary as an essay, logic outweighs emotions, introspection becomes a task, rhetoric becomes a necessity, and a sense of resistance arises.
Diary exercise is not the ability to write, it exercises the ability to summarize, introspect, the ability to discover beauty, and the ability to digest self-emotion.
When parents realize this and no longer require the format of their children's diaries, they start the second step: let their children record the beauty around them in various forms.
In the years I have been writing diaries, it is not entirely recorded by words, but now the most commonly used form is the form of photos + text.
If you find something cute, you can take a picture of it, then paste it in your diary and write your impressions next to it.
Of course, through drawing, newspaper clipping, stickers, sticking tickets, etc., it is also possible, which has formed a handbook that children love to write now.
When the child only writes the words "I am very happy today" in the diary, there is no need for parents to force the child to fill the diary in the form of words, but can make up a large group photo, in the form of photos or drawings.
Over time, children will have the habit of recording, and at that time, whether it is in writing or painting, or even in emotional expression, it will improve.
As the saying goes, "Good medicine is good for the sick, and good advice is good for the ear." ”
