On that spring afternoon, I sat in my study with a lot of thoughts. Suddenly, ** rang, it was my son Xiao Ming calling. He told me that his friends have the best consoles and phones, and he wants the same thing.
I smiled in **, and there were many emotions surging in my heart. It was undoubtedly a great test for me to turn down my own children. However, I know that this decision is a must, otherwise, our relationship may be fragile because of the material.
First, let me introduce myself to you. My name is Wang Yong and I am an ordinary Chinese father. My family is not wealthy, but I have always believed that educating children is not only about providing for material needs, but also about cultivating their character and ability to think independently.
My relationship with my son Xiao Ming has always been very good, but this day's ** made me fall into deep thought. I thought maybe this was an opportunity for me to teach him how to say no and understand how difficult life is.
When I was younger, my family wasn't wealthy. But at that time, I learned a lot about life. I learned from my parents the attitude of frugality and hard work. These are all treasures that I have benefited greatly from in my life.
So, I told Xiao Ming that this is not a simple question. I began to tell him about our family's background, the difficulties and setbacks I had experienced. I told him that life wasn't always easy, but it was these experiences that shaped my resilient character.
Xiao Ming was silent for a while on the ** end, as if he was thinking. I know it was an educational conversation for him. I decided to give him a chance to be able to fight for what he wanted through his own efforts instead of relying on me.
In the days that followed, Xiao Ming began to show an unprecedented effort. He took the initiative to find a part-time job, hoping to earn his own money for game consoles and mobile phones. I saw the persistence and determination in his eyes, and the worry in my heart gradually dissipated.
The development of the story is not all smooth sailing, and Xiao Ming encounters many difficulties in the process of struggle. But it was these difficulties that made him know how to cherish it even more. In the end, he bought the game console and mobile phone he had long-awaited with his own efforts.
The process wasn't easy, but it's all that makes our relationship stronger. I didn't give him everything, but I taught him how to pursue his dreams through hard work. In the process, our understanding and respect for each other have also been further deepened.
Some people may think that my decision is too harsh, but I believe that it is a deeper love for him. In life, we cannot blindly cater to all the needs of children, but teach them to have the ability to think independently and work hard.
Through this experience, I deeply understand that rejection is not harmful to children, on the contrary, it may be the best help for them. This experience has strengthened my belief that family education is not only about imparting knowledge, but also about cultivating wisdom and resilience in life.
