Sasha is the daughter of a fisherman. She always likes to indulge in her own fantasies.

Even the experiences of the old sailors at sea, the stories of giraffes, gerbils and all kinds of novelty on the big ship, are not comparable to all the adventures and weirdness described by Sasha.

Sasha said her mother was a mermaid, but everyone knew that her mother had passed away long ago.

Sasha said that she has a fierce lion and a kangaroo and keeps them at home. In fact, she only has a clever old cat named Bunce. )

Sasha said that the shabby carpet at the door was a dragon chariot.

Sasha also said that Bunce can talk whenever he wants.

To his father, Sasha's words are like moonlight. Although beautiful, it is illusory.

Sasha likes to sit in her "dragon chariot" and say those "moonlight" to the old cat Bunce.

Sasha has a good friend named Thomas. He believes everything Sasha says. Thomas goes to Sasha's house by bike every day and asks to meet her kangaroo.

Sasha always said to Thomas, "The baby just jumped out."

Climb the tree, run to the seaside or go to the lighthouse.

Where Sasha pointed, Thomas ran. He climbed the tree, ran down the steps and rushed to the beach, but he couldn't find Sasha's kangaroo baby.

Until one day, Thomas came to visit the kangaroo again.

Sasha said, "The little kangaroo went to see my mermaid mother. She lives in a cave behind the Daqing Reef. " Thomas rode away, and Sasha fell into other imaginations.

Soon, the rainstorm came, and Sasha felt helpless and uneasy. She wants to know where Thomas is, but she can't see anything outside the window except the gray rain curtain. Sasha stood at the window blankly until dad came back from fishing. Sasha screamed and rushed to her father: "Bangs and Thomas are still outside, on the Daqing Reef."

Dad turned and ran out. ...

Dad found Thomas before the sea flooded the reef and took him home by boat, but Bunce was washed away.

Sad and desperate, Sasha couldn't speak, and it took a long time for her father to understand what had happened.

Dad didn't yell at Sasha.

Before going to bed, dad said, you should think clearly about the difference between the real thing and the illusory thing like moonlight.

Outside the window, a big cat with two big yellow eyes looks out of the window. Yes, Liu Hai is back.

These two precious lives let Sasha thoroughly understand the difference between reality and moonlight.

"Thomas almost died because of my moonlight." Sasha said.

"Moonlight is good and bad," dad said. "The key is to distinguish clearly."

This is really an unusual story. ...

Children's world is full of imagination and childlike innocence. Children's childish words always make us laugh. But after laughing, we should also think about how to let children distinguish the quality of moonlight, and don't let cognitive bias hurt children.

After reading this story, I can't help but think of one thing …

2.

Daughter is 7 years old, lively and eccentric. I just entered grade one in September.

One day when I came back from school, my face was gloomy and I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. So I held her in my arms and sat on the sofa. Ask carefully, it turned out to be written by a math quiz.

Children did not brush the questions systematically before entering primary school, so they did not review the questions carefully. Often a big question will miss one or two questions. I am well aware of her situation. Although I am very sorry, I can only comfort her patiently.

Suddenly, my daughter stopped sniffling, widened her eyes, looked up and asked me, "How many legs does mother rabbit have?" Looking forward to waiting for my answer.

I looked at her doubtfully: "Four legs!"

She suddenly became anxious: "Isn't it two legs?"

I looked puzzled: "Four legs, didn't you see that the rabbit we raised before was four legs?"

"Mom, aren't those two hands!"

……

I was speechless and in distress situation.

How does my brain explain to her that those two legs are also legs? "Baby, you are so cute. You think rabbits have two hands and two legs like humans. But only when people call hands, small animals are legs. "

I wonder if this explanation is correct.

After listening to my answer, she threw herself into my arms and cried, crying and saying, isn't that a hand …

This matter has passed like this, but every time I think about it, I feel funny. Don't take it too seriously.

It was not until I read the story "Moonlight in Sasha" that I reconsidered.

In fact, in real life, whether parents or kindergarten teachers, comics and picture books like to use some "anthropomorphic" educational methods.

In the eyes of children, things are alive. This anthropomorphic method can make the original rigid truth easier to understand, quickly penetrate into the inner world of children, narrow the distance between us and children, and make children more obedient.

Although the method is good, as parents, we should also understand the truth that "extremes meet". Observe carefully in the process of getting along with children, and don't let children immerse themselves in the imaginary world and lose their understanding of the real world.
