In 2014, Yu Xiaomei came to Lanzhou Children's Welfare Institute and became the "mother" of these winged little angels.
The first time I walked into the living area, I saw the children and heard them shouting "Mother", and Yu Xiaomei's eyes were moist. The children's clear eyes and childish voices touched the softest place in Yu Xiaomei's heart. Yu Xiaomei made up her mind to be a good "mother" of the children, and strived to warm the hearts of the children with a faint light and illuminate their way forward.
Having just stepped into this position, how to be a qualified child care worker? How to make up for the lack of family companionship for children, so that they can grow up healthy and happy? How do you understand what's going on in your children's minds? Yu Xiaomei took these questions to consult an experienced "mother". She said that it is necessary not only to have a solid knowledge of parenting and nursing, but also to have a heart of love, and most importantly, to "take care of these children as if they were your own." Yu Xiaomei engraved this sentence in her mind.
Yu Xiaomei nursing care is the squirrel class of children, these children are more disabled, in addition to taking care of them to eat, sleep, but also on time to feed medicine, scrub, massage, while paying attention to their mental health. In the welfare home, the daily work is very heavy, but Yu Xiaomei is full of energy and treats these children as her own children to love and take care of. Yu Xiaomei had learned some rehabilitation treatment methods before, so she carried out rehabilitation nursing for each child's situation. Although it takes a lot of time and energy, seeing the progress made by the children, Yu Xiaomei feels that no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.
Andy is one of the more special children in Yu Xiaomei's care. He doesn't talk or play with other children. Yu Xiaomei consulted a lot of information and did her best to help Andy integrate into the group. As soon as there is time, Yu Xiaomei will talk to him, hold him to tell stories, and take him to play games. Yu Xiaomei often took Andy's hand and played with the toy with him, telling him what it was and how to play, and encouraging him to look at the shape of his mouth and learn pronunciation. Yu Xiaomei tried to teach Andy simple words such as "Mom", "Good morning", "Goodbye" and so on, and repeated them with him many times a day. One morning, after going to work, Yu Xiaomei greeted the children as usual: "Baby, good morning." Andy suddenly ran over, hugged Yu Xiaomei's leg and shouted "Mom." At that moment, Yu Xiaomei was very excited and hugged him tightly. After a while, Andy will follow Yu Xiaomei to say simple words, will hold hands with other children in circles, will hug her friends, and even help Yu Xiaomei... In short, constantly bring Surprises to Yu Xiaomei! The most amusing thing is that he often follows Yu Xiaomei, imitating the way Yu Xiaomei walks, and other children see it and join in, accompanied by laughter, and the line is getting longer and longer. Looking at the happy appearance of these children, Yu Xiaomei's heart was also warm.
