Iceberg theory is an important theory in Satya's family therapy. It's actually a metaphor. It means that a person's # ego # is like an iceberg, and we can only see a small part of the surface//behavior, while a larger part of the inner world is hidden at a deeper level, just like an iceberg. This paper will discuss the application of iceberg theory in family education to help parents better understand their children's real needs.

The expectation and longing behind the story

Just like sleeping with Bao Xiao at night, Bao Xiao wants to tell a story, and after the story is finished, he still wants to tell a story. On the surface, Bao Xiao wants to hear stories, so Bao Xiao's expectation and wish is that his mother will stay with him for a while and don't want to go to bed. My opinion is that Bao Xiao should go to bed early, so my expectation is that Bao Xiao should go to bed early. I can watch my mobile phone, brush WeChat, keep my writing updated, or have something to deal with in class that day.
