第一课:孩子给我们的启示
Lesson 1: An epiphany from the children

《孩子给我们的启示》 林林和天天是同学。 天天的父母要出差,想请我们帮忙照看★几天女儿, 我和老公爽快地答应 下来, 有个孩子和我们的独生女★朝 夕★相处 , 我们巴不得呢! 最兴奋的是林林, 她嚷 着要用爸爸最拿手的美味★佳肴欢迎天天来我家, 还提出★,她的书桌可以和天天共用。 看到女儿对伙伴 热情无私★,我和老公别提 多高兴了。

天天还没来,林林就变得异常勤劳 , 将屋子 收拾得干干净净,东西摆 放★的整整齐齐★, 什么好事都想着天天。 我家林林虽是女孩,却也绅士风度。

天天的到来,使我和老公的日子过得异常省心★。 两个孩子每天早上不要叫就醒了, 上学不要接送,做作业不要督促; 她们不打架,不闹别扭★,关系别提 多融洽了。 看到女儿和天天这么亲密★,大有★忽略我们的趋势 , 我和老公都有点嫉妒了。

这天晚上,两个孩子做完作业,开始滔滔不绝地聊了起来, 一个说,我不喜欢王朵朵, 她就喜欢跟穿得漂亮的同学一起玩儿,还老嘲笑别人。 另一个说我讨厌高春来,他最会讨好★老师了。 我和老公★对视★一眼, 这么小的孩子怎么学会了背后★议论 别人。 我郑重地走到她们跟前,严肃 地说: “看到别人有缺点,应该当面说, 背 后说别人的坏话不好。”老公也在旁边附和: “大伙儿要和睦相处 ,对人要宽容★。” 女儿却是一脸的疑惑,➊反问道:“你们不是也有时候说, 哪个朋友好相处 ,哪个朋友很自私 吗?” 瞬间★我和老公被问得说不出话来,屋子 里鸦雀无声★。

人们常说,启蒙★老师的重要性★不可忽视 , 父母就是孩子的第一任老师,这话确实不假, 可如果这次不是女儿反驳,我还意识不到, 我们自己的做法和对孩子的要求实行 的是两套 标准, 那便 是对自己宽容,对孩子严厉。 孩子也可以是我们的老师啊。

说真的,这次是孩子给我上了一课: 我深深★地感到,想当好父母,首先要约束好自己的言行★。
