Wuhan Evening News (Reporter Yang Feng, Correspondent Reddy) "I'm really going to collapse!" Huang Boxuan, a student in Class 6B of Wuhan Experimental Boarding Primary School Meilin Campus, said sincerely after swapping roles with his mother for a day.
On March 11, the reporter learned from the school that on the first weekend of March, the students of the school had a special assignment-to allow the children and their mothers to switch roles.
Some students said after the experience that they can bear the housework, but bringing a baby is too tiring. They "complain" repeatedly: "Bringing a baby is too tired", "super collapsed", "really unsatisfied"...
The relevant teacher in charge of the school said that this is a special homework that is chosen to be done in order to let the children experience the hardships and difficulties of their mothers and cultivate their gratitude.
The school recommends that students, before swapping roles with their mothers, use mind maps to develop a "home plan" based on the different circumstances of each family.
The warm boys and filial daughters in the class "come online" one after another, combing their hair, cutting vegetables and cooking, folding clothes and beating their backs, walking the dog with their mother, and bringing younger brothers and sisters...
The sixth grade B class of the school also held a special report class meeting for "Exchange Roles".
At the class meeting, the students all "spit out"-it is so difficult to bring a baby.
Zhang Xinming, a student in the class, said that during the day she exchanged roles with her mother, what she did the most was to take care of her four-year-old brother, accompany him in basketball and boxing classes, and take care of his brother’s meals.
"While taking care of my younger brother to eat, I really broke down. My younger brother kept the meal in his mouth and didn't swallow it. I couldn't control my emotions at all, so I yelled at him!" Zhang Xinming said, her mother stopped her in time and told her to take the baby You can't solve the problem with "Hell". If you really can't help it, you can go outside the room to calm down.
Zhang Xinming told reporters that he didn't usually feel that, but only felt that his mother was very gentle and brought her own baby. Only then did she realize that her mother is too wise.
The classmate Lu Jiatong took over the job of tutoring his younger brother.
"My younger brother is too naughty and often goes on business trips. I need to keep reminding him that I am very annoyed, but I can't get angry. It's really too difficult." Lu Jiatong said that tutoring homework is really not an easy task. Mom has to do it at the same time every night. Tutoring their siblings to do their homework, "really admire my mother".
More children experienced the hardship and difficulty of their mothers from the exchange activities, and some wrote in the diary of the day: "Mom really takes hard work. I will be more independent in the future and not let my mother work too hard."
Xu Ping, the teacher of Class B in Grade 6 said that after the students completed the "role swapping" assignment, many mothers gave her feedback that on the day they exchanged roles with their children, they felt much more relaxed and felt their children's love for themselves. I also think that we should let go more in the future, give full play to the enthusiasm of the child, and cultivate the child's independence.
