In that poetic era of the Tang Dynasty, there was a father named Li Xiaobai, who left a warm and thought-provoking story in the countryside with his unique education method and deep paternal love. Li Xiaobai is not a dignitary, just an ordinary scholar, but he is full of wisdom and warmth for the education of his children, especially in getting along with his son Xiaoming, which shows his extraordinary parenting skills.
Disputes in the spring
The story takes place on a sunny spring afternoon, in the small courtyard of the Li family, the peach blossoms are beautiful and the spring breeze is warm. Xiao Ming, a seven-year-old child, is holding a bamboo whip and chasing a butterfly in the courtyard, laughing crisply and pleasantly. However, this tranquility was soon shattered by a sudden quarrel.
"Xiao Ming, you're messing around in the yard again! If you don't read a book, you can't write a word, you know how to play all day long! Li Xiaobai walked out of the study, his brows furrowed, and his tone was a little reproachful.
Xiao Ming stopped, looked at his father's stern gaze, and his little face was full of grievances: "Dad, I just want to play with butterflies for a while......"
"Playthings are demoralized! You are now at the age of study, how can you waste your time so much? Li Xiaobai's voice unconsciously raised a few decibels, he knew the truth that "if the young man does not work hard, the boss will be sad", so he placed high hopes on Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming lowered his head, his eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, but he stubbornly did not fall. This scene made Li Xiaobai's heart tighten. He realized that he might have been too harsh and hurt the child's young mind.
Late-night reflections
In the dead of night, the moonlight shines through the window lattice and sprinkles on Li Xiaobai's desk. He sat in front of the desk, holding the brush that had been with him for many years, but he couldn't get it down. The dispute with Xiao Ming during the day weighed on his heart like a boulder, making it difficult for him to sleep.
"I'm really doing this for Xiao Ming's good?" Li Xiaobai asked himself repeatedly in his heart. He recalled that when he was young, he also had a carefree time and chased his dreams, and how he longed for the understanding and support of his parents at that time!
"Every child has their own pace and way of growing up, how can I hold them to my own standards?" Li Xiaobai suddenly realized that he needed to change, and he needed to be more patient to understand and guide Xiao Ming.
Change starts from the heart
In the early morning of the next day, when the first rays of sunlight poured into the courtyard, Li Xiaobai was already standing at the gate of the courtyard, with a warm smile on his face. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Xiao Ming: "Xiao Ming, come, dad will take you somewhere." ”
Xiao Ming was a little surprised, but more excited. Without hesitation, he took his father's hand, and together they set out on the road to the fields outside the village.
In the field, Li Xiaobai took Xiao Ming to observe the farming of farmers, listen to the song of birds and insects, and feel the vitality and vitality of nature. He patiently explained to Xiao Ming the growth process of each seed, telling him that learning is like sowing seeds, and that it takes patience, carefulness and perseverance to reap fruitful fruits.
"Xiao Ming, Dad knows that you like to play, but you also have to play meaningfully. Look at these farmers, although they are hard, their hearts are full of love and expectation for life. You can also learn a lot of knowledge through playing, but more importantly, you must learn to cherish your time and arrange your study and life reasonably. Li Xiaobai said softly to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming listened to his father's words, and his eyes flashed. For the first time, he felt that learning was not a boring thing, but could be so lively and interesting.
A good time for parents and children to read together
Since then, Li Xiaobai has changed his way of education. He no longer blindly blames Xiao Ming, but accompanies him more, reading, writing, drawing, and even playing games with him. As a result, the relationship between father and son has become even closer.
Whenever night falls, a warm oil lamp will be lit up in the small courtyard of the Li family. Under the lamp, Li Xiaobai and Xiao Ming leaned their heads on their heads, shoulder to shoulder, immersed in the sea of books together. Sometimes, they argue over the pronunciation of a word; Sometimes, they will look at each other and laugh because of a wonderful episode. This kind of parent-child reading time has become the most precious memory in their hearts.
Footprints of growth
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Ming has grown into a handsome teenager. He not only achieved excellent results in his studies, but also became more cheerful and confident in his personality. All these changes are inseparable from Li Xiaobai's deep and wise fatherly love.
"Dad, thank you!" At a family gathering, Xiao Ming said to Li Xiaobai affectionately, "You taught me how to study, how to live, and more importantly, you taught me what true fatherly love is." ”
Li Xiaobai looked at his son, who was already half a head taller than him, his eyes were full of relief and pride. He knew that he had made the right choice and made the right change. He proved with his actions that only by being less angry with children and giving more understanding and support can children go further and more steadily on the road of growth.
epilogue
Li Xiaobai's story spread in the countryside and became a model for many parents to educate their children. He used his own experience to show people that patience, understanding and companionship are more important than any harsh reproach in the process of educating children. Because every child is unique, what they need is not endless blame and pressure, but a guide who can guide them to grow up healthy and pursue their dreams bravely.
