校园专栏-特殊时期，我和孩子的亲子时光 （连载一）|Time with My Children

Growth always happened inadvertently

Many years later, looking back on this special period

We're going to find out the extraordinary impacts that

your child brought you

Starting with the Spring Festival in 2020, children and parents have embarked on a long holiday pattern, from initial panic about the virus to later awareness. Both parents and children spent an extraordinary winter holiday together. With the sound of children laughing and playing, parents are careful to cook a variety of nutritious food. The children in the fragrant rice incense, obediently set the chopsticks waiting for the table. With the help of parents, children complete online classes and homework. During this time, parents and children study together, read together, play together, exercise together, and learn how to fight the virus together.

When they spend 24 hours with their children, parents also find the subtle changes on their children's path to success, and suddenly feel that their children know more, and at the same time harvest the warmth and care brought by their children. The parents are so impressed that they have submitted articles to the school to share their experiences with their children, and record this unique parent-child time with various art forms. Let's get a sneak peek today.

Parrot mom sent her a letter to her daughter. As a founding family, Parrot mom felt that her daughter's study in NAS Beijing changed a lot in the past year, and this change was more obvious to her mother during the period of outbreak.

Dear my girl,

This year, due to the epidemic, our holiday has been extended, and we lived together day and night in the limited area of house. During this period, we study together, make food and have fun together. As you grow older, I am glad to see that you are more sensible and considerate than before.

Honey, you are my child. But actually, mom prefers to be your friend and bestie and can share all your things. Sometimes I was too strict with you, even criticized and blamed you, which makes you sad. However, it was my impatience and lack of explanations that hurt you. I'm really sorry for that, and I will try my best to be better both as a mother and a friend in the future.

During this period, the school has carried out online courses. This new mode of learning cannot give you a sense of existence in class. Gradually, I find that you have become introverted and have no nail spirit when study. Then I decided to be your classmate, communicate with you and assist you to complete all kinds of assignments, interact with your teachers to solve difficult problems. You kept asking me, "Mommy, don't you feel bad when you communicate with foreigners in English?" I smiled and said, "honey, unafraid of losing face can help you keep improving!" I use the story of Liyang to encourage us, gradually, I found that you have constantly changed and improved. In addition to the curriculums, the interest classes are also in the process of recovery, and you can integrate into the role and enjoy it. Now you study during the day, and I go to work, any time when we have problems, we use WeChat to communicate in time. Every night when I came home and you would always tell me the interesting things happened in class vividly. I am very pleased that my child is growing, and I also try to improve myself.

During the study, you told me that your teachers are from New Zealand, the United States and other places all over the world. And they always taught the classes late at night, which is very hard. Every time I heard this, I gave a thumbs up. I found my girl knew how to be grateful and understand.

Honey, you have brought me lots of surprises. I can never forget your delicious food, the pure flavor of cold powder and milk tea. You also bought crochet, taught yourself for minutes, and hooked a small bag for me.

Honey, I am always grateful for having you, and I've lived a better life with you. I've come all the way with you, studied together, and felt the change of education. I've learned again conscientiously, and had a newer and deeper understanding of education. Your efforts seriously infected me, and I also learned English and other knowledge every day, and obtain the teacher qualification certificate.

Honey, there is still a long way to go in the future. Mom is willing to accompany you forward.

Love forever，your mommy

In addition to the letters, our parent wrote poems about the parent-child relationship between her and her son. Jingyuan, a third-grade student, had a dialogue with her son in the form of a poem, so that he could have a deeper understanding of this different Spring Festival and fit for online learning.

My child, I want to tell you

-Jingyuan's mother

My child, I want to tell you that this Spring Festival is different from ever.

Dad said:" We can't go out to play"

Mom also cancelled your long-awaited trip.

My child, please don't be sad.

This gives us the longest time to spend together since you were born,

To cook, exercise and read together.

My child, I want to tell you that this year's school time is different from ever.

The state said, "shut down!"

The school said, "delay the start of school and distance learning."

My child, please don't worried.

During this period, we realized that the Internet is a vast ocean of knowledge,

You learned calligraphy, sketch and piano online from zero foundation, while completing the school tasks.

My child, I want to tell you that this year's global environment is different from ever.

Stopping work and production, can also reduce the pollution emissions.

My child, you can see the hope！

It's not just small animals lining up to return to their long-standing homes,

even the rivers and lakes that have been dried up for a long time have a new atmosphere.

Taking good care of environment is everyone’s responsibility and this gave you a different life experience.

Finally, I want to tell you that,

though crisis is dangerous, it also accompanied by opportunities.

Working hard and build a good foundation for yourself,

You will open a new chapter in front of the huge turning point!
