In the story, Micah is completely different. His maverick behavior (the time of playing and sleeping is completely reversed), unique hobbies and ideal pursuits (the mole takes digging as his full-time job, and Micah likes to look up at the sky and invent and create by himself), and even his coat color that cannot be changed the day after tomorrow is different from that of a normal mouse. No wonder his father, Mr. Micah, who has a strong sense of family responsibility, sent such a message: "He is not a mouse, a mouse or anything else. Questions like that.
It is this different kind of mole that plays and grows in the puzzled eyes of his family. ...
We have never met such a child at work. They are not as good as their parents and teachers want. No one will know what they are thinking. They are not worried about their cultural achievements. They can fiddle with the hand-pulled helicopter given to them when they buy books in class, ignoring the existence of the teacher. You can write wonderful dialogues for the animals in your paintings, but you can't write the dialogues of the characters in your composition. They can sing out of tune in music class, but they can sing nursery rhymes with birds in the tree early in the morning; They are not interested in the pictures in biology class at all, so they can take out their internal organs and study them for half a day when cutting fish at home. Maybe our parents are heartbroken for such a child, but they are not moved at all.
Today, all this seems completely unfounded. The other Miga ran away because of her family's worries. But he succeeded. Through his persistence, he won the respect, friendship and even love of others. He became a star and an ambassador for the publicity of Moon River in his hometown. He was also the leader of another world when he was fighting the enemy, and even had the opportunity to become an enviable rich man. Don't our parents and teachers want to train such talents and teachers?
Some people may say that this is only an example, but it cannot replace all. It's just artistic creation, not real life. But when we calm down and think about it, it is difficult to erase the inevitable complex because of uncontrollable accidental factors in Mika's success.
First of all, Micah is kind. This is the background color of personality, just like any exquisite work of art should carefully choose good materials. Micah left home because he wanted to help Nelly invent the washing machine. The original motivation for this reason comes from Micah's sympathy for Nelly's hard work in washing clothes. Who can say Micah is not kind? The old adage "beginning of life is good in nature" is enough to warn every parent and teacher that our children are kind. Rousseau also declared: "I regard this as an indisputable principle, that is, the initial impulse of nature is always correct, because there is no innate evil in people's minds, and we can tell how and where any evil enters people's hearts." Therefore, they all have a pure background and the beauty of shaping into exquisite works of art.
Secondly, Micah is persistent. This persistence stems from Micah's strong emotional needs. Facing the temptation of the rich, Micah's desire never wavered. Perhaps, only the spontaneous demand from the child's heart will have such great strength and balance. What we should do is to understand and respect children's choices, especially to guide them. What we should never do is to deny them, which may make our children moral.
Again, Micah has his own world. When Micah decided to invent the washing machine for Neri, he found it impossible to live by the moon river. So he resolutely decided to leave and go to the city to buy the parts he needed. As their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mi were worried and helpless, but they didn't look for him or drag him back. Although they don't want this to happen, they are not persistent out of care for their families. This invisibly gave Mika a space and stage for free development, and also gave him more opportunities to contact with the outside world and learn. Can't this give us educators some enlightenment?
