As a family education counselor, I have come into contact with and guided many parents over the years. For them, every time of growth and transformation, everyone has their own wonderful insights.

Here, I will share their gains with you, hoping that you can get some inspiration from them.

If only one thing could be applied to our parenting and education, that would be the best.

I am the mother of two girls, the older one is seven years old and the younger one is two and a half years old.

One week after Dabao was born, I was diagnosed with tuberculosis due to coughing. I felt helpless at the time and was forced to stop breastfeeding. When Dabao was 13 days old, he choked on milk and had to be rescued. This made me anxious, worried and afraid after giving birth.

At the same time, the baby needed the father's care when he was born, and my husband was exhausted physically and mentally at the time, so he didn't take good care of the baby. This made me feel that my illness and depression were caused by giving birth to a child for my husband, which made me full of resentment towards my husband.

Now, I know,

I think my husband should give me timely encouragement and comfort, but he failed to do so. When my needs were not met, I began to complain, feel anxious, angry, aggrieved, and painful. So I blamed my husband, scolded him, and complained that he did not love me and this family.
