A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 29 7

Only by raising children can you know the kindness of your parents.Only when I become a parent can I truly appreciate the hard work of my parents in raising me.This experience can also be regarded as a gift from children to parents.After many people become parents, they realize that life requires great patience and a sense of responsibility.When women become mothers and men become fathers, they begin to mature and learn to be tolerant and bearable.The arrival of children makes the family a complete cell of society, and children allow parents to find that they are closely connected with society. All these changes are also a period of growth for parents, just like children's teeth changing and growing up.Thinking of this, parents should be grateful.

Only those who know how to be grateful can live a happy life.The first thing we want to thank is our parents.Some people have a family of their own, so they can't take care of their parents' life. In fact, the more they become parents, the more they can appreciate the hard work of their parents.We use filial piety to define children's gratitude to their parents. This kind of filial piety needs to be passed down from generation to generation.

There is a famous novel in which a father lives with his son and later marries a woman.The woman was very unwilling to live with her elderly grandpa, so she bought a blanket and planned to send her grandpa to a nursing home.

Although the grandpa who got the blanket was very sad, he still said: "You are such a kind person, this blanket is so soft, it will be very comfortable to cover it." Seeing this, the little boy was very sad .Later, the little boy said, "Why don't you cut this blanket in half, and I'll need the other half when I grow up."

The father who was present was shocked and heartbroken by the child's words. He did not expect that if he sent his grandfather to the nursing home in front of the child, the child would learn to send himself to the nursing home in the future.No one wants to live a lonely life without someone to take care of them. The words of the child remind the father that he cannot treat the father who raised him in this way.

In order for children to know how to be filial to their parents, they themselves should first be filial to the elderly.If a child sees his parents being filial to his grandparents from an early age, he himself will be affected by this and learn to do something for his parents; on the contrary, the child will treat them the way their parents treat the elderly. It is difficult to educate parents who are indifferent and selfish. A child who knows how to repay his kindness.

Some children beat their grandpa or grandma with their hands. Of course, they don't understand that their actions are rebellious in the eyes of adults.At this time, parents should not use violence to control violence, but must let the children know that you absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of behavior:

"Have you ever seen me beat my grandparents?"

"Have you ever seen someone beat an old man?"

"Anyone who doesn't respect others will not be respected by others. You must remember this and keep it in your heart."

Dad can also show respect for the elderly in his life.For example, when you come back from a business trip, in addition to bringing some gifts for colleagues, bosses, wives and children, you must also remember to leave a gift for your parents.The gift is not necessarily expensive, but it reflects your filial piety.You can let your child take it to his grandparents, so that he can also experience the joy of giving gifts.Children who grow up in such an environment will naturally regard honoring their parents as a matter of course and a natural thing.

The crow feeds back, and the lamb kneels to breastfeed.Filial piety is a part of nature, and everyone should participate in it, so how can father be an exception?
Today's children are exposed to the shortcomings of more than knowledge and insufficient conduct, which just shows that the family's education in gratitude and filial piety is insufficient.A high-achieving student who only knows how to ask for money from his parents and a child who has worked part-time to earn medical expenses for his parents since he was a child, the answer is clear at a glance which one the parents prefer.Educating him to be filial is as important as educating him to read and write.

Filial piety is not waiting for the child to provide monthly living expenses when he grows up, but planting a seed of gratitude in his heart. Filial piety is just a natural branch of this seed.
