Archie, the child of her best friend, is a "little star" in her circle of friends. He is smart, lively, and always full of energy. Recently, however, his behavior has worried us. He is addicted to games, loses interest in learning, and throws tantrums whenever something doesn't go his way. Archie's mother, Xiaoli, is very anxious, and she hopes that we can help Archie correct these problems together.
Once, we went to Xiaoli's house as a guest. As soon as I entered the door, I saw her child Archie sitting in front of the computer playing games, and I didn't even notice that we were coming. Xiaoli reluctantly told us that Archie would plunge into the game every day after school and not even eat dinner. Not only that, but Archie's academic performance also plummeted. He didn't pay attention in class, and he didn't complete his homework seriously. Xiaoli's worries are not unreasonable, if Archie continues like this, his studies will definitely be affected. What's even more worrying is that Archie loses his temper when he encounters a little thing. Once, because he lost a game game, he actually dropped his phone and was still yelling. Xiaoli's face showed a helpless and embarrassed expression, and we knew that she must feel very sorry for Archie.
Faced with these problems, we decided to take action to help Archie correct, but we are not professionals, although we know the child, but the child is getting older, the previous way of preaching will definitely not work, so we contacted a good training institution to help us solve the problem. After entering the institution, the teacher had an in-depth communication with Archie. We told him that play can be used as a way to relax, but learning is just as important. We also told him that tantrums are not a good way to solve problems and that he should learn to control his emotions.
In order to make Archie interested in learning, the teachers in Chengdu Mingxuan Yude Outward Bound Training also formulated a study plan for him. Every day, the teacher will patiently review his homework with him, help him solve his learning difficulties, even if he is faced with some very simple and naïve questions, the teacher will patiently answer and tell him the truth. At the same time, he was also encouraged to participate in more extracurricular activities to cultivate Archie's hobbies.
Gradually, Archie's attitude changed. He began to take his studies seriously and became more rational about his game. His temper has also become much gentler, and he will take the initiative to ask for help when he encounters problems instead of throwing tantrums. We were all very relieved to see Archie's change. We know that our efforts have not been in vain. At the same time, we also understand a truth: as parents and friends, we should give more care and support to our children, help them correct bad habits, and let them grow up healthy and happy.
Through this story, we want to tell you that children's growth needs our companionship and guidance. When a child has a problem, we should take timely measures to help them correct it. At the same time, we also need to understand that it takes time and patience for children to grow. Only when we face the challenges and difficulties on the road of growth together with our children can they become excellent people.
