🪁 Teacher Pei-Yi’s Mirror Relationship Theory | Being "Kite-Flying Parents"

If you want your child to fly higher, you must master the #ArtofLettingGoandHoldingTight.

#ChildrenAreIndependentIndividuals. However, during their growth, these individuals require nutrients such as support, space, and environment. The lifelong relationship between parent and child must strike a delicate balance between pulling and releasing—just like flying a kite!

First, let’s talk about how to fly a kite:

• 1. Have a Solid Support Point: Triangular kites are easier to balance, making them suitable for beginners. Challenge other shapes only after gaining enough experience.
• 2. Go with the Flow: When the wind is strong enough, simply lifting the kite will let it take flight naturally; then, adjust by reeling the line in or out. If there is no wind, you must compensate manually—let out 10 to 20 meters of line, ideally in a pair. One person tosses the kite upward while the other runs against the wind to lift it.
• 3. Master the Rhythm: Flying a kite requires a sense of rhythm. Release the line when you feel tension, and reel it in when the line slackens. In low wind, keep the line tight to increase the kite’s surface area against the wind; in strong wind, let the line out so the kite can fly higher.
• 4. Suitable Space: Flying a kite requires not only vast space but also a focus on safety. It is only within the regulations of a proper venue that you can fly freely and with peace of mind.

Teacher Pei-Yi loves flying kites, especially the sight of many kites swaying gracefully in the sky—it is truly mesmerizing. Much like every life story, there is always a pair of #WiseHands behind the scenes, subtly adjusting that thin thread in the palm every second to match the wind and the kite's unique character.

#TheRiseandFallofaKiteIsTiedtoTheFlier'sEmotions—sometimes full of joy, sometimes lonely, and occasionally tense or regretful. How far a kite can fly tests the flier’s #PatienceandSkill; the more patient you are, the better the chance for the kite to soar high and far.

Of course, kite-flying skills can be perfected through practice. To win a grand prize, one must dedicate time to research and training.

Can you see the message now? To let your child #SpreadTheirWingsandFly, that thin thread in your hand must be released thoughtfully and reeled in gently. You must realize immediately when you are pulling too tight. By managing the environment, providing support, going with the flow, and mastering the art of balance, parents will share in their child's journey in the sky—feeling joy, sorrow, tension, and pride alike.

Through practice, every parent can gradually learn how to navigate that uniquely beautiful kite!
