Feeling overwhelmed by children's endless crying, whether they are self-pitying or protesting to their mother, can be incredibly chaotic. Before reading this story, I actually tried the "cry with them" method: it worked wonderfully! The child immediately stopped crying and looked at me in surprise, starting to wipe away my tears! Why can't mothers release their own anxieties? Why can't we let children take care of and understand us, just like the mother and squirrel in the story?
Admiring the scene of the little squirrel running back and forth from the relaxed and tranquil forest community to help her mother, what a sense of responsibility she has. Letting children share some responsibilities will make them stronger and teach them to love us more.
