I find it difficult to accept some traditional ideas of China. Should we change them?

Critical thinking is to evaluate thinking through certain standards, and then improve thinking. It is a rational and reflective thinking, which is not only a thinking skill, but also a thinking tendency.

You have these ideas, which proves that you have critical thinking. Critical thinking is not for us to find fault with others, but for us to think independently and understand our own views and beliefs. For this prenatal education training you participated in, in addition to adjusting your emotions, others "dare not listen, think this thing is like religion", respect your feelings, and don't doubt yourself easily. Because we don't have to follow blindly. There are many ways to adjust your mood during pregnancy. We just need to find what suits us.

2. Understand China's traditional thought more openly.

For China's traditional culture, its spread must be its essence. And we have always been influenced by it. It is just that whether some institutions or personnel have over-interpreted or misunderstood traditional culture may also require us to think. There is a view that "take me as the mainstay and use it for me". To put it simply, we can use what is "useful" to "me", that is, what you call taking the essence. If it doesn't work for me, or if it feels harmful to me, we won't do it and resist it. Of course, in concrete practice, I think it is not easy to grasp.

3. Should it be changed?

There are many books and theories about change. I want to share with you some things I have learned. For example, we can keep an open attitude towards traditional ideas. What each of us believes in and how to do it is something we have learned for a long time. Sometimes, it is difficult to simply distinguish right from wrong. It is better to see if it suits you. Faith is a kind of spiritual sustenance, which will give people strength. So, you can see what you believe. Teacher Li Songwei said that changing your mind is like swallowing water, and you can't see how effective it is. The behavior change is simple and powerful, and the effect is clear. So at this stage, we can think about what we can do to make ourselves happy and calm, which is good for fetal development during pregnancy. Don't think too much about the current troubles. Listen to your heart and believe that everything is the best arrangement. We continue to grow up, become a strong and steady person, and face it positively and optimistically, then I think this may be the best prenatal education.
