Three coins

On the dinner table, Mu Mu took out three coins from his pocket, and I asked him where he came from? He said that he had found it under the sofa of the Sunburn House, thinking that people did not want it and brought it home in their pockets. The little guy spoke naturally, with a triumphant expression. This kid just gives a problem, what to do? You tell him the big truth: other people's money can't be taken, this kind of behavior is "stealing", people will certainly not understand. If you scold and scare him loudly, for fear that he will not dare to tell you what he will do in the future, the result will be worse. You don't say anything, and returning the money has no educational effect on him, certainly not. As I ate, I thought, alas, a child doesn't know how many brain cells I'm going to burn.
I reflected a little and found that Mu Mu had recently become interested in money, because he went shopping at the supermarket the other day and he wanted to buy a big building toy, and I didn't buy it for him. One is because the price is too expensive, and another reason is that I just read a theory: for a child over 3 years old to delay meeting some of his requirements, you can't respond to everything, because parents can't give him everything they want. I told him he could save money he shouldn't spend, and when he had saved enough money, he could buy it. From there he had a plan to save money, and he pocketed all the little coins in the family. This is good, even the people's received.
After eating, I called Mu Mu to his side and said to him seriously: "Mu Mu, you can't take other people's money, you know?" Mu Mu looked at me and said, "That's what people don't want, they all throw it under the sofa, don't we all have our money in our pockets?" "Mu Mu is still immersed in the world of his imagination." What is in other people's homes, no matter where they are, cannot be taken. I continued to preach, seeing that he was confused, I had to reduce the difficulty, "For example, your little tank was accidentally thrown under the sofa by you, and someone else picked it up, would you like someone else to take it away?" "No! That's mine. "When I heard that my favorite toy had been taken away, Mu Mu reacted very strongly." Yes, the toy under your couch is yours, whose money under the couch is there? "It's someone else's." Mu Mu finally understood a little. "So what do we do?" "We'll send it to their house, Mom, you go with me, you go talk." Mu mu may realize that he has done something wrong and become a little embarrassed, "Okay, Mommy will take you there." ”
The money was returned, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. This incident taught me another lesson: once the career of parents was chosen, they embarked on a road of no return, could not leave office, did not retire, and some were accompanied forever. Children's growth experience, health education can not be repeated, how to deal with a seemingly insignificant little thing is particularly important, children's attitude to each small thing will cast their character. As parents, we have a long way to go in raising them to be the way they can be. There is no shortcut to educating children, there is no universal correct method, only with a positive attitude, with the same calmness, with the persistence of continuous learning to enhance our educational ability, increase our educational wisdom, in order to enable us to walk calmly and firmly on the road of parenthood.
