请注意,孩子在看
When you thought I wasn't looking
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the wall and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick; I learned that we all have to take care of each other.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give your time and money to help people who had nothing and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when
I grow up.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw tears come from your eyes and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking."
以上在英语阅读学习app上读到的一片文章,小小的,短短的,没有艰深的词汇,应该中学以上水平的人都能读懂,却能给每一个成年人温柔地上一课。
是的,当你以为孩子没有在看,殊不知,他们已经从大人的行为上敏锐地捕捉到什么可以、什么不可以,应该怎样、不应该怎样。
视觉笔记将就一图胜千言,教育孩子未尝不是呢?行为的教育意义胜过千言万语。
大人说一千遍“你给我读书去”,自己却从不看书,孩子爱看书那才有鬼,除非上辈子有德,生了个天生爱学习的好孩子。
大人说一千遍“给我好好说话”,自己却从来不讲究自己的言行,孩子会好好说话那才有鬼,除非几辈子修来的好福分,生了个天生口吐莲花的机灵鬼。
自打有了孩子,我就告诉自己,要求孩子做到的事情,自己要先做到。要成为孩子的榜样。不然,我怎么好意思要求他这个那个?因为我不想孩子问我“既然学习这么好你怎么不学?”时哑口无言。
因为从小到大,见过要多大人说一套做一套的,孩子会很困惑、会很迷茫,到底应该怎样。
父母是孩子最好的老师,行动是亲子教育最好的教材。当我们以为孩子还小还不懂时,当我们以为孩子没有看到听到时当我们以为孩子听不懂看不懂时,其实,人家早已看在眼里、记在心上。耳濡目染,说得就是这个。
同样的,要纠正孩子某种行为,也是如此。不用厉声训斥,不用大吼大叫,做给他看,比说破天有用多了。
现在的孩子营养好、接受的信息刺激多,模仿能力超强。我家一岁的小宝就是如此,看大人做过一遍,就会有样学样。看过我在手机或者ipad上滑来滑去,他拿到手机也会对着黑黑的屏幕用胖胖的手指头戳戳滑滑。看过姐姐拿点读笔点词卡上的单词学习,他要是把点读笔拿到手也会在卡片上瞎点一番。大概是见过我給吃完饭的姐姐擦嘴,他竟也会抱着纸巾盒一张张抽纸巾递给正在吃东西的姐姐。看过我或者姐姐看书,他也会拎一本书过来让你翻给他看……
所以,要培养什么样的孩子,就要做什么样的父母。
这篇英文的最后说,谢谢那些你以为我没在看但却看到的事。是的,这些温暖的小事会成就一个健康向上的孩子。但同时,每一个孩子其实也是成就更好的父母的天使,就看我们大人有没有这种幸运认识到这一点,认识到,我们要感谢孩子给我们这样的机会,让我们和孩子一起成长、进步。
请注意,当你一位他们没在看时,其实,“孩子的眼睛是雪亮的”。
