During the Ming Dynasty, the "Chronicle of Feicheng County" recorded: "There are many fruits, but the peach is the most famous." "Feicheng, located in the middle of Shandong Province, the western foothills of Mount Tai, the Western Zhou Dynasty Fei people scattered here, ancient called Feizi Country, Feicheng got its name. Feicheng peach, a big delicious, in the summer, the air is full of peach sweet taste.
This summer, the rain is abundant, "wet and hot steaming", and the acacia trees downstairs have fallen on a ground of fine yellowish locust flowers. Yang Yan is a teacher at a college in Jinan, and her home is particularly lively during the summer vacation. Early in the morning, Yang Yan was busy riding an electric car to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and when he returned home, he was already sweating. She made breakfast sharply, washed a few big and red fat city peaches, and the three little girls in the family slept very sweetly. Yang Yan wanted them to sleep a little longer, but looking at the time, they still had a bunch of homework in the morning and couldn't sleep anymore.
Three little girls, one is her own child Xiangxiang, the other two are Yue Yue of the sister's family and guoguo of the brother's family, the age difference is one or two years, and every summer vacation they will come from their hometown of Feicheng to Live in Jinan. Yang Yan is a university teacher, she has her own understanding of education, she does not want the children to only die to read, Yue Yue Guo came, the family will be lively, every day can hear the three little girls silver bell like the joy of laughter.
After writing homework in the morning, in the afternoon, Yang Yan invited a coach to teach them to play volleyball, and called out to several friends' children, as a result, you called me, I called him, and suddenly gathered more than a dozen people.
On the first day, God came to a dismount. A dozen little girls had just run around the playground when the dark cloudy sky crackled and rained. The parents who were waiting on the sidelines quickly shouted to avoid the rain. A group of people panicked, driving the children to a downstairs open space to continue practicing, next to the overgrown flood ditch, mosquitoes grow wildly, a moment of kung fu, the little girls' thin arms and legs are full of mosquito bites of the big red packets. But apart from scratching and scratching, none of the children cried bitterness, tiredness, or pain, and they all leaned on their necks, one, two, three, and seriously practiced mat balls.
The trouble turned out to be from the parents, and a few parents whispered, and after the class, they asked the coach to ask for it, hoping that the coach would teach the child according to the standards of the middle school entrance examination. The coach listened to a blindfold, Yang Yan's anger came up, it was really everywhere. Her original intention, on the one hand, is to let the children exercise more, exercise, it is best to like to play volleyball, she herself is a volleyball lover; On the other hand, in addition to participating in group activities in school, children usually participate in too few group activities and want to cultivate a sense of community.
"I don't think there's any need to dwell too much on the exam items. Let's follow the coach's training plan and rhythm, let the children play volleyball as a fun and relaxing activity, don't do anything for the middle exam, I feel that the children have simply become the exam machine. Those with special requirements can talk to the coach individually. Personal opinions, there are inappropriate, please forgive me. Yang Yan tried to be objective and polite, but there were still parents who privately looked for her to complain, "Jinan Secondary School Entrance Examination Sports 60 points, time is very tight, can not waste time to play ah! "It's too much of a rush, isn't it?"
In the long run, like to play volleyball, like a certain sport, develop good sports habits, learn to persevere, do not give up, tenacious struggle, unity and cooperation in sports, so that children have a healthy physique, a strong soul, indomitable fighting spirit, exuberant vitality, and a team will twisted into a rope, these sports spirits will benefit children for life, a little bit of physical examination and where is the word?
Yang Yan's Xiangxiang is not only a primary school bully, but also has outstanding athletic ability, in school is the first group of women's long-distance running, volleyball, table tennis, swimming are also learned fast and good, these are not from the surprise training. Because "running faster than a rabbit", at the primary school graduation ceremony last summer, Xiangxiang starred in the English version of the drama "Alice in Wonderland", becoming the most popular Alice, which is a surprise!
Give your child a little simple joyOn July 23, it entered the heat, "The great one is also the extreme heat." "Jinan is hot, rain is rainy, wet and hot. The children repeatedly shouted that they wanted to go out and play, but Meng Meng was resolutely unmoved. One of the people who looked for Yang Yan to complain privately was her. "You don't know, this summer, I'm in a lot of trouble every day." Meng Meng was thin and tall, her eyebrows were always wrinkled, the youngest Erbao had just entered kindergarten, and she already had a lot of gray hair.
"Do you know where there are better orthodontists?" Meng Meng asked while starting a new round of complaining, "This morning we went to see the dentist, the boss's teeth are not good, it has to be whole, but the doctor, directly wipe the stool where the ass sits, wipe it and pull the child's teeth, it is disgusting!" Also, in the process of looking at the teeth, I answered the phone three times, how dirty is the mobile phone, what should I do if the bacteria are infected? ...... Such an unfortunate thing, how to let me catch up, too bad... The whole tooth still has to be forty or fifty thousand, and it is impossible to catch up with the money..." After saying a pass, he returned to playing volleyball, and he had to let the coach train according to the requirements of the exam, otherwise, he would spend time in vain.
No matter how good Yang Yan's cultivation is, there is also a little bit of listening, I want to say a word, see her with the second treasure, it is really hard, just enlighten her, think in a good place, the child is willing to come out to play ball is better than staying at home. A sentence poked the honeycomb, and the parents buzzed and opened the bombing spit mode together.
"You don't know, my child is only in the first year of junior high school, myopia is already 600 degrees, every day I am lost in computers and mobile phones, I can't take care of eating..." "Right, right, let out play, is afraid to play games at home." 」 "Just by using the computer to check the information and listen to the online lessons, the academic performance has not been seen..." "The time for looking at the mobile phone is useless." "I don't like to talk or play with other children." "That is, don't do anything at home, and your temper can be bigger..." Is there time for children to play? Answer, in addition to playing mobile phones and computers, he is not interested in anything else!
Yang Yan is very fortunate, these problems she almost did not encounter, of course, she also has her anxiety, there are mountains outside the mountain, there are people outside the people, Xiangxiang is a primary school bully, but their class is better than Xiangxiang grades and harder children, there are many people, the most terrible thing is that they have finished learning junior high school textbooks in advance, brushing the problem to zero mistakes, which is too scary for children! Moreover, those children play programming, drawing, designing on the computer, almost comparable to college students, how far does this have to roll up?
The summer vacation she remembers is watching the movie "Kikujiro's Summer", eating big and sweet fat city peaches without worry, going to the countryside with her sister and brother, staying for a summer vacation, helping her grandmother to cut wild grass in the field to feed the sheep, climb trees, catch monkeys, at dusk, cooking smoke, Grandma standing at the head of the village shouting: "Come back to eat!" "The sisters and brothers ran to their grandmother's house with their feet, sweating profusely, and they could pick up the bowl and eat it to the sky.
Xiangxiang's generation, of course, is different from the era of parents. At that time, there were too few choices, and now, there are too many choices, the world is like a kaleidoscope, children are dazzled, parents cannot be chaotic, parents must also have a sensitive, keen, correct sense of information, to keep pace with the times, have the ability to learn and judge, know what is suitable for children, what needs to be abandoned, greedy and chewy, counterproductive.
Dong Yan, deputy dean of the Institute of Science Education of Beijing Normal University, said: "Facing the future, every teenager will face 3 worlds, one world is real, objective, and external environment; The second is the ever-enriching Internet world, which is a virtual symbol world, but I hope that it represents the inner knowledge system built by every child through Internet interaction, and the internal relationship system between you and others; The third world is the child's mental world, which needs to be cared for by everyone. Therefore, we must let children grow up healthier, more powerful, more discriminating, more warm, so that they can shine a light and a heat in the future society. ”
Let the child learn to laugh from the heartPerhaps, parents really do not need to tighten the strings in their hearts too tightly, summer vacation, let the children relax, have a little of the simple happiness they like, sprinkle joy, run with their friends, laugh, maybe better education. A fat city peach tree must grow for more than three years to produce a sweet fat city peach. One year tree valley, ten years of trees, a hundred years of tree people, children's education is particularly urgent. Child psychologist Alison Goopnik has a popular parenting book, The Gardener and the Carpenter, which raises a very easy-to-understand educational question for us: Parents, are you a gardener or a carpenter? "Gardeners" pay attention to ecology, plant peaches, plums, flowers and grasses, respect and stimulate the seasonality, diversity and possibility of different grasses and trees; The "carpenter" focuses on function, rope, ink, axe, saw, planer, chisel, centered on a single goal.
So, in addition to grades, have we focused on the growth of our children? Have we paid attention to their imagination, creativity, introspection, empathy, and ability to be happy and joyful? One of the things that struck me was a principal in my child's elementary school, who said at her first parent-teacher conference after taking office at the new school, "I wonder why the kids here don't laugh? ”
She stood in front of the school gate every day, rain or shine, greeting every child, and at first, when the children saw her, they all bowed their heads, eager to take a detour, with no smile on their faces, no other expressions, one by one, like a dumb goose, very wooden and quickly walked past her. She encouraged the children, greeted her boldly, starting with a little timid smile, and slowly, the children's faces finally showed a smile as bright as a flower, and sometimes, even laughing, the waist was straight, the head was raised, the eyes were bright, what could be more gratifying than this?
In the rapidly changing digital age, there are too many impetuous, noisy, bizarre, cool, magical things, at a glance, it seems that everyone is very powerful, everyone is competing for the first, war? Battle! Tired? Tired! Why not try to take a break, slow down, and see who you really are?
In the volleyball team organized by Yang Yan, a week has passed, Xiangxiang can pad more than 200 balls in one breath, but Guo Guo can't even pad 10, and the boss of the Meng Mengjia family is also, no matter how hard he practices, he can't pad 100. Meng Meng did not believe that it was all from scratch, where was the gap so large? The child practices, she also practices, the first day back, the wrist is bruised, the next day, it is even more red and swollen and painful that even the pot can not be lifted, think of the children, sweating on the court, boring practice for an hour or two, how difficult it is!
Meng Meng's face, finally there is a little smile, although the boss is not the first, the progress is also visible to the naked eye, the middle school entrance examination sports should be no problem; Yang Yan's face is always full of smiles, Xiangxiang learns everything quickly, the ability to touch the bypass is very strong, and he laughs every day haha; Guo Guo was even more ghost horse elf, laughing and giggling: "My pad ball is too bad, hahaha!" "Seeing that whether it is dark clouds, wind and rain, or the scorching sun overhead, the children running down the court with sweaty heads, everyone's face is a happy smile, this is the biggest gain!"
Driven by Yang Yan, the mothers who used to stand on the side brushing their mobile phones and chatting also exercised on the court, playing volleyball, playing badminton, dancing Liu Qihong's fitness dance, sweating heavily, as if all the anxiety was released, the mothers broke out laughing from time to time, XiangXiangguo laughed and said haha, I like to watch mothers play ball the most, it is so fun!
This summer, hot, young, full of laughter, then continue to maintain love, with the little friends, exercise, this is the beautiful summer we have created that belongs to us and the children, there is sweat, there is strength, there is harvest, may every parent and child laugh, run wildly, happy holiday!
