Reflections after watching the documentary "Secrets of Growing Up"

"The Secret of Growing Up" is China's first long-term short film that continuously records the daily life of children. It took more than three years from photography to production. It shows a group of children growing up in a school called "Baby". Real events that took place in the real environment of the "Academy" kindergarten.

"The Secret of Growth" records the scenes of many children crying. After all, every child has different growth characteristics and psychological needs at different stages, changes in different moods every moment, and faces unexpected disputes and dilemmas every day.

Once it is difficult to solve the problem and cannot control the mentality, he will gradually cry and make trouble. In life, some parents will simply press the "stop button" to force the child not to cry. On the surface, the child does not cry, but in fact, it provides "secondary harm" to the child.

All the teachers in Erba Academy used a gentle but firm attitude to deal with the crying and fussing babies, and properly helped them solve their difficulties.

In the short film, the little girl cried bitterly while playing in the sandpit. After the teacher figured out what happened, the girl was still crying. The teacher asked her: "Do you still need to cry for a while?" The girl had no intention of stopping. The teacher said again: "How about you come to me after crying?"

Everyone saw that after comforting and grasping the objective facts, the teacher took two actions: allowing the child to cry again and asking for the child's advice. . Such words and practices give children enough time and space, and are also worthy of reference by parents.
