"Dad, can you play with me tonight?" My daughter Xiaoyun looked at me expectantly.
I put down my work, looked into her clear eyes, smiled and replied, "Of course, baby." What should we do? ”
She jumped for joy, "Let's paint!" ”
I took out a blank piece of paper and colored pencils, and we lay on the floor together and began to create one stroke at a time. Although my painting skills are clumsy, Xiao Yun doesn't mind, but laughs back and forth because of each of my "masterpieces".
"Dad, look, this is the big tree you painted, and this is the bird I painted." She pointed to the pattern in the painting and excitedly introduced it to me.
I looked at her smiling face and felt a warm current in my heart. This kind of time, although simple, made me feel more happy and satisfied than ever.
Once, I thought that giving my child the best material life was a manifestation of loving her. I worked hard to earn money to support my family and provide her with the best education and living environment. However, as time went on, I gradually realized that material things cannot fully meet the needs of children, let alone replace companionship and love.
I remember one time, I neglected to accompany Xiaoyun because I was busy with work. During that time, she was always depressed, and her grades plummeted. I realized the seriousness of the problem and began to reflect on my own actions. I realized that what I called "for the good of my children" was actually just an excuse for self-comfort. What I should really do is to put down the work I am doing, spend more time with her, listen to her and understand her needs.
Since then, I've struggled to adjust my work and lifestyle. Although I am still busy at work, I always find time to spend with Xiao Yun. We cook, watch movies, play games together...... These simple activities bring us closer and closer together. I have found that high-quality companionship is not about how much money and time it takes, but about feeling the existence and needs of each other, and giving each other sincere love and support.
Once, Xiao Yun won first place in the school's speech competition. She excitedly ran home and held the trophy in front of me, "Daddy, look! I won first place! ”
I hugged her tightly, "You're awesome!" Daddy is so proud of you! "At that moment, I felt the pride and happiness of being a father. I know that all this is inseparable from the companionship and trust between us.
As time passed, Xiao Yun gradually grew into an adult. She has become more independent and confident, and she has also begun to have her own circle of friends and lifestyle. However, no matter where she goes, the emotional bond between us is always strong. Whenever she encounters difficulties or setbacks, she always comes to me as soon as possible to confide in me and ask for help. I will also do my best to support and encourage her.
Once, Xiao Yun was depressed because of the pressure of work. She sat on the couch and wept silently. I sat down next to her and gently patted her on the back, "Don't be upset, baby. Everyone has a difficult time. You have to believe that you have what it takes to overcome everything. ”
She looked up at me, "Dad, thank you for always being there for me and supporting me. ”
I smiled, "Silly boy, you're the most important person to me." "At that moment, I felt the responsibility and mission of being a father. I know that high-quality companionship is not only to give her love and support when she is young, but also to be a strong backing and spiritual harbor for her at every stage of her growth.
Looking back on the past years, I deeply feel that high-quality companionship is essential for children's development. It not only allows children to feel the warmth and happiness of the family, but also cultivates their self-confidence and sense of responsibility. As parents, we should always pay attention to the needs of our children and accompany them as they grow. Only in this way can we truly enter their inner world and become their closest partners and friends.
