In the process of my mother-in-law killing fish, my son asked me if the meat of the fish would hurt. What am I supposed to tell him?

Children don't like being fooled, and no one likes being cheated.

Since the child asked this question, it shows that he has doubts, and he began to have empathy.

My children have asked similar questions, and this is my answer.

1 The meat you are eating doesn't hurt, because the chicken's brain doesn't feel pain anymore. When a chicken is killed, it will be very painful because its brain receives nerve signals from the skin and makes a painful response. We are the same. When I pinch you, your skin will feel it, and then it will spread to your brain, and your brain will react.

When the chicken dies, the nerves stop working and the meat doesn't feel pain.

This is a scientific neural reaction process, which is too complicated for children to understand. That's about it.

I tend to be honest and scientific. I don't like lying to children, or whitewashing serious things before telling them. I think children's ability to accept is very strong, which should not be underestimated or fooled.

We ate the chicken, right? Why do we eat chicken? The child will definitely dig deep next. For example, my baby asked me, how cute the chicken is, why kill it and eat meat? I don't want to eat them.

Sometimes I really want to eat meat, and I will take the initiative to ask my mother to fry meat. The child is ambivalent.

I told my children that human beings are actually animals, and we should live like other animals in nature. Lions eat antelope and zebras; Eat small fish the shark; Birds eat worms, etc. Animals also eat other animals.

We humans need to get protein and some trace elements from meat, so that we can grow better. Protein and trace elements are especially important for children, because children are growing up.

In ancient times, our ancestors used to eat whatever they caught, so we didn't think so much. Eating other animals is a natural phenomenon and normal.

Let the children choose to talk about the above two items. I also said to the children: Now that we have abundant food, human beings can use their wisdom to make rich food for themselves.

Some vegetarians don't eat meat. They get food from eggs, milk and soybeans. But some people still eat meat, and most people do, because meat is delicious and delicious.

You can decide for yourself how to eat and how to get trace elements such as protein and iron.

The child may be on a whim, and when he sees a lovely chicken, he has doubts. I also decided not to eat meat myself. But after a long time, with the increase of children's understanding and experience of science, children don't mind so much. Or the desire for good food masks a little guilt.

On this issue, it is their business to answer scientifically and tell the truth what children think. If it is too whitewashed and illusory, it will lead children astray. Many times, if you think on the basis of facts, you will not go astray.

Our task is to let children know that this is a normal phenomenon.

This is my view on this issue. Thank you for reading.

Truth or beautiful lies, which should I choose?

Facts tell children the truth. Killing fish will definitely hurt, and the fish will die. By the way, knives are dangerous. So be careful when using a knife. You can expand your knowledge of food chain. But whether or not to be a vegetarian is a child's choice.

A beautiful lie is of course a beautiful lie. Protect the child's mind. For example, tell a child that although fish hurts, he will go to a beautiful place. You can ask your child where you want to go most. Let the children describe this place. Cultivate children's imagination.

Which should I choose, the truth or the beautiful lies? Babies choose beautiful lies. Stimulate the imagination. Teenagers choose facts. You can't live in fairy tales all the time.

The heart is fragile. A child with strong sympathy. Generally can't accept the fact. You can put it mildly. I am stronger inside. Rational children are generally more accepting of facts.

If you tell a beautiful lie to a child with high IQ, he will soon see through it. Children whose IQ has not reached a certain level. He doesn't understand what you said.

I have experienced this problem. My daughter is 6 years old now, and there are always some strange questions. If she doesn't get the answer she wants, she won't eat these foods again.

For example, when killing fish, she asked if the meat of the fish would hurt, and I would answer her, "Fish live in water, and their meat will be numb after landing, so we can eat fish."

For example, when eating chicken, she will ask me why I eat chicken. This chicken is so cute that its mother will be distressed if we eat it. I answered her, "We don't eat chickens, we eat those very old chickens. They have lived for a long time, and we have to eat them to supplement our physical strength. "

For example, eating mutton skewers, some shops will tie a lamb at the door on the spot. When my daughter saw it, she felt sorry for the lamb. At this time, I would say, "We don't eat mutton. It's pitiful, but others can't help it if they want to eat it."

abstract

Maybe the child doesn't understand it very well, but parents should explain it patiently, so as to satisfy the child's curiosity. If every time a child asks a question, parents always answer "I don't know", and the child will not like to explore in the future. Anyway, they think that mom and dad don't know anything, it's useless to ask questions, and the child's mind can't be properly stimulated, which will have a certain impact on the child's future intellectual development.

In the process of her mother-in-law killing fish, her son asked, "Will fish hurt?" , how should I answer?

If the baby is still very young, it is recommended not to show him this picture, because if he is too young, he may not understand him, and it will also cause psychological shadows, which will lead to partial eclipse, no meat, or nightmares, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of the child.

If the baby is over 2 years old, you can give correct guidance. You can tell him that this fish will definitely hurt, but everyone and everything have their own value. For example, the meaning of this fish is to become our food and let us grow up healthily. However, although it is food, we should respect it, because everything is a cycle. Although we eat fish, we will become dirt after death. The soil will produce all kinds of insects and plants, which will become bait. We need fish, and fish need us. It's only a matter of time. Everything in the world is complementary.

Don't think that children can't understand such a long explanation. In fact, for children over two years old, you can explain it many times slowly. What impressed me the most was Mufasa's teaching to Simba about the food chain in the comic book The Lion King. You can watch it with your children and let them accept it slowly. I believe that the children who will ask this question are all smart and kind children.

I hope my answer is helpful to you. [Rose] [Rose] [Rose] [Rose] [Rose] [Rose] [Rose]

Children have good roots, and parents will benefit from proper guidance in the future!

I haven't experienced this problem. I think if the baby is still young, try not to watch the bloody killing of chickens, ducks and fish. Of course, if he sees it, he can also guide the child to think about food. He can tell the children that these are all raised by human beings as food. As human beings, we should learn to be grateful, to respect and fear life, and to cherish and care for food. Of course, children who ask this question are also empathetic children. They are generally imaginative, intelligent and precocious. For us adults, it is more appropriate to be cautious and speak with respect for children. Because their parents' world is also the world they see, their parents' behavior will deeply affect them.

Recommend the lion king's answer: all life in the world has its value. As a king, you should not only understand but also respect all living things, including crawling ants and jumping antelopes.

Simba: But Dad, don't we eat antelopes?

Lion King: Yes, let me explain it to you. When we die, our bodies will become grass, and antelopes will eat grass. In this life circle, everything is interrelated.

In the process of raising children, we often avoid letting them see some cruel things.

However, it is inevitable that the world is not only beautiful, so as parents, we should turn cruel things into "the truth of the world", and at the same time, as an important part of children's growth cognition, "know the truth" and guide them correctly.

Tell children that fish will hurt if they are conscious. Praise the child's empathy and let him know that caring about fish is a good thing for him and shows his kindness. Then tell children "because there are complex biological chains in this world", just like cheetahs will prey on antelopes and cats will eat mice. This is the law of survival.

Telling children this is to prevent them from thinking that human beings are too bloody and cruel, thus creating a bad extreme world-weariness mentality. At the same time, teach children that every creature in this world has its own place, including what to eat. All killings are the rules of survival, but they must not be broken. Breaking the rules is a kind of crossing the line and will lead to very bad results.

As a parent, you should still know how to hold your child's hand to see the world, instead of shielding him from everything you don't want him to see. After all, they always have to go out and experience the storm by themselves.

In the process of educating children, I am more inclined to instill correct ideas and cultivate correct three views. So I will tell him intuitively whether animals will feel pain when we eat animal meat: "Of course".

Humans are advanced carnivores. There are many animals in nature, including us, but compared with ordinary animals, we humans are more advanced animals, because we are more conscious, thoughtful, linguistic and creative than ordinary animals. We have created a culture for thousands of years and have a higher IQ than animals.

Then why do we humans eat meat? Mainly because meat is rich in protein and various vitamins and minerals, which are nutrients that our human body should absorb. We need to take in these nutrients to make our bodies healthier in the process of growing up.

Of course, some people choose not to eat meat, which belongs to everyone's own choice. But if they are vegetarian, their nutrition may not keep up in some aspects, so their diet needs a combination of vegetarian and vegetarian food, so that they can grow up healthily.

Why does it cause animal pain? We humans are very different from ordinary animals. Animals eat meat directly, so it will bring great pain to the eaten animals.

Humans will clean the animals we want to eat, and then process them through various cooking methods before eating. In this way, in the stage of processing animals, the nerves of animals will feel the pain caused by the destruction of their bodies, but this pain is very short-lived. When we process animal meat to eat, because the nervous system of animals is destroyed, they will not feel pain.

We humans eat meat only to survive and get rich nutrition, but we can't kill small animals, and many small animals are our human partners, such as cats and dogs, so we need to be kind to small animals.

I am happy to encourage the advantages of children. You have learned kindness and understanding. Kindness is the most precious virtue of mankind. Mom and dad hope that your health will be maintained forever. We need to be kind to everything.

If I were you, I would answer that it would hurt. This is the way of education in my family. In this way, she will have empathy. Fish are alive. It has blood vessels and nerves, so it hurts.

Hello, when you encounter this problem, you must first praise the baby.

First, the baby is too kind, afraid that the giant salamander will hurt.

Second, the baby is very imaginative and regards the fish as his good friend.

However, there is a food chain in the world. Only when the food chain operates normally can the world be balanced and human beings develop.

Then tell your child about the food chain, or take your baby to the bookstore to find books about the food chain. . . Let children feel the power of books and knowledge [yeah] [yeah] [yeah]
