I have a special angel who is different from ordinary children. He has a restless brain that runs at the speed of a propeller. Because his own theater is playing out in his brain, he often cannot receive messages from others, and perhaps others cannot understand, even misunderstand, he still worked hard to understand the world at his own pace.
When I first came into contact with the An An Association, I did not expect that it would have such a big change for myself and my child. In the past, I worked alone and stumbled around to find the most harmonious interaction with my children, but I always ended up exhausted physically and mentally. After joining An An, I attended many lectures on positive parenting, where I learned gentle and firm parenting skills. I also took care of myself through mindfulness exercises. My children went to roller-skating every Saturday, and we experienced a lot of interesting camp activities which allowed caregivers to take a break during the summer., while children also learned the spirit of seriousness, responsibility and teamwork through sports and games.
At first, I signed up for the roller- skating class with the purpose of allowing my child to discharge his energy and use up excess energy. Unexpectedly, he became more and more interested as he skated around. Every time he took class, we could see the light in his eyes and a sincere smile. This can’t be deceived. My love! But he shrinks from competition because he cannot accept failure. How can we make him take this step? After the coach's affirmation, teacher’s encouragement, and mother's persuasion, even Edison's perseverance and the revolutionary spirit of the founding fathers became the subject of persuasion. Finally, the protagonist nodded and he was willing to participate in the Lanyang Cup Roller Skatinf Competition. , but her mother began to tug in her heart, is it appropriate for him to compete with ordinary students? Is he good enough to compete with these players who practiced a lot of time to? Will losing the game make him more resistant to other competitions in the future? There were other voices in his heart that opposed this decision. The child seemed to feel his mother's worry and said lightly: "Mom, don't worry, I will try my best to finish the race and I won't fall and get hurt." It turns out that the child's thoughts are so simple, and finishing the race is a sure thing. The best proof for me is that his mother has strength. No matter what the outcome is, his mother will accompany and support him wholeheartedly.
As the date of the competition approaches, the child's mood also changes from a normal mind to a focus on gains and losses. In fact, he is very much looking forward to winning good results. In school, he is often reminded or corrected due to weak impulse control, lack of concentration and other problems at school, resulting in the child has a self-denial mentality and feels that it is very difficult to get praise. He really wants to have the opportunity to stand on the podium and accept the applause of his classmates. Why doesn’t his mother hope that he can get this honor and fulfill his wish, but she wants to hide this? I couldn't bear to put any more pressure on him, so I had to keep enlightening him. Having the courage to challenge him already made his mother feel so proud. No matter what his grades were, his mother saw his efforts.
On the day of the competition, the rainy weather suddenly turned sunny. My child was ready early in the morning. When he arrived at the competition field, he was so nervous that his expression was stiff. I always responded with a smile, hoping to reduce anxiety. Finally, it was his turn to play, and I gently gave him a smile. Gave him a hug and said to him: "Baby, thank you for your hard work during this time. I believe you are ready. Don't worry, mommy will greet you at the finish line!" Watching him listen to the starting bell attentively, beep~ , the picture of him rushing forward and running into the wind is so beautiful and moving!
He achieved good results unexpectedly in this competition, not only finishing in the 400 meters, he got the fourth honor, but also in the 200 meters he got the third. Holding the third place medal, he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Mom, this is mine. I want to keep the first medal well, and I will work hard to get more medals in the future." I said to him with red eyes, "Baby, you are the most precious gift God has given me. No matter whether there is such recognition from the outside world, mom always believes in it. You have various possibilities, and the road of life may not be your help all the time, but I will always be your backup. " I believe this medal has opened a door for him, and he is willing to believe that he can do it. And no longer fear the door of challenge.
