Staying at home during the epidemic is also a good opportunity to practice being your own master and arrange your home life with your children in a regular and energetic manner.

The other night, a friend sent me three photos of her capturing, in which her one-year-old and three-month-old daughter stretched her arms, danced, and smiled happily.
Now the baby, who is one year old and three months old, has walked steadily and has begun to want to run and jump. For a child who never walks to can walk, to the point where he not only walks steadily on his own, but also wants to run and dance, the dance of that moment is the joy of being able to control his own body, a completely spontaneous happiness of life.
The picture below is of a Friday evening when I was riding through a small street in the village, and this little girl who looked to be about four years old was playing with a small pile of sand in a corner of the road, and she rubbed the scattered sand together. Because it was on the side of the road where people were coming and going, she looked up from time to time, as if to confirm safety, and then buried her head and rubbed the sand with her small hands.
I felt her and the pile of sand form an island at this moment, and on the island she was immersed in the joy of playing with the sand, while noticing that there were no waves rushing around. She charmed me, and I stopped there for a few minutes to watch. When we were young, we used to play with a pile of dirt and a pile of stones and a pile of wheat straw until dark.
Looking at this little girl, looking at the picture of my friend's one-year-old and three-month-old daughter, I realized how far I was from this kind of freedom from this happiness, and in fact I could do it now, and no one was tied to my hands and feet.
There is a Hong Kong writer named Ma Jiahui, I was watching the ideal APP to listen to one of his programs, there is an episode he talked about his mother, very happy personality, heard the news that the government wants to subsidize each family, she spent the money on the same day, obviously has not been sent to the hand.
Ma Jiahui was sent to the hospital in an accident when he was a child, and the doctor said that it was useless for the family to wait, so his mother went home to play mahjong, saying that "it is useless to worry anyway."
When I listened, I thought what kind of person I would grow up with, or if my mother was like this. However, to think so is to see things with your own habits of mind. If I were as happy as Ma Jiahui's mother now, what would I do? I can now control my body like a one-year-old and three-month-old baby, like that little girl to find my own "sand", what am I going to do?
I picked up the dance again, right in my own house, thinking how to dance and how to dance.
During the pandemic at home, you can also jump, and you can also jump with your children. Just like in the photo below, the children of Li Yue'erba Academy were in a rhythm dance class a few weeks ago:
At 9:00 this morning, Jiu Long, a dance teacher in Li Yue'erba Gakuen's Wangfu Park, and two teachers, Pang Pang and Qingqing, live broadcast with everyone to dance together, let's move together! ("Yue'er Kindergarten" is the "big name" of Li Yue'erba Academy Wangfu Park)
