For most people, pregnancy and childbirth is a deep, intense, and wonderful experience in life.
A new life was born, with clear eyes, chubby little hands, and a seemingly mysterious brain.
Do babies have empathy, do they have the ability to think?
How did they learn the complexities of morality before they learned reading and math?
Childhood is a crucial stage of life, but we know so little about that stage that many times we even ignore!
What is a human being?
A little baby's fascinated gaze at its mother's face may have laid the foundation for human "love" and "morality";
Playing pretend games with all our hearts and minds may explain how we imagine the future, or even how we write a book or invent ever-changing technology.
The little babies also understand the world by observing probability
If an apple is bitten, there is a high probability that there will be one less piece.
If there is a high probability that there is an extra piece, we may all be surprised, but the little baby who has not yet mastered any rules may be able to deal with it calmly, which is what we often call adaptability.
You may say that it is not called a high probability, it is called "certainly", but doesn't "certain" mean that the probability is infinite?
It is precisely because we have observed and verified this kind of thing countless times that the probability has reached a certain point, and we will naturally deduce that the probability in the future will also be so great.
Moreover, are we less misled by probability? The psychological phenomena of "preconceived ideas" and "judging people by their appearance" come from probability.
So, after such a big turn, what I actually want to say is to be patient with the slow growth of the babies, who originally came to this world with all kinds of possible "messy" worlds.
The process of growing up is the process of eliminating worlds that are considered "impossible to exist" because they are too probable, and then adapting more precisely to the world we have now.
The main task of childhood is to develop the mind
Why is it so difficult to put something so simple in the eyes of adults in the eyes of children?
In fact, we often forget that we were once a child, and those clumsiness and ignorance are not just what a child is.
This sentence, which seems to be chicken soup, has been scientifically proven.
The 2009 book How Children Think, by child developmental psychologist Gopnik, provides an argument for this claim.
Gopnik found that the primary task of childhood is to develop the mind, while adults mainly use the mature mind.
The most important task of a child's mental development is to discover the causal connection.
Cause and effect is an ancient philosophical mystery. The 17th-century English philosopher David Hume said:
We can never really understand cause and effect, we can only know that one thing always happens with another, and then go for guessing.
And children's brains are born looking for causal connections.
Your baby's rules are the easiest to establish
Because of having children, life is full of meaning and value.
The most beautiful thing in the world is the child, the truth, goodness and beauty, which is vividly expressed in the child's body, and the child is with the purification of the heart, learning to think, and truly improving himself.
Although the process of raising children is hard, there are more good than hard work.
Children are the best teachers, and children are the mirror of adults.
But how many parents don't know how to understand their children's interests and hobbies, think that their children are good as a shield, desperately enroll their children in various Olympiad classes, thinking improvement classes, etc., desperately help their children make choices, desperately help their children solve problems, thinking that this is the best way to learn for their children, but they don't know that it is for a good face.
Follow the child to learn, the child's learning ability is fast, and the thinking is relatively slow, just as the 62-year-old famous host Ni Ping advises young people:
At your age, the so-called "slow" is a kind of rhythm, not that you really slow down, it is the slowness of the mentality, "slow" is not to give up, "slow" is not to stop.
All in all, adjust your mentality, don't worry, don't be anxious, calmly learn and think like a baby, and then life will have "baby-like" happiness and wonderful!
Write at the end
Babies explore the causal relationship between humans and nature through play and observation.
The causal relationship between people about love and response is not even natural, but contingent.
