Today I ended the care class thing and came home very late.
I was nestled on the couch for a moment, and then I heard a "bang" sound coming from the restaurant, something should have fallen.
Who is it so late? The child's father was on a business trip, and I think 80% of them were children.
I got up and walked forward and saw the child standing on a bench with glass shards on the floor — a glass I gave to my father more than a decade ago.
"Mom, I didn't mean it."
"Oh! Oh, my God! The ground was a mess, and I looked at the child and stepped forward, "How are you?" Are there any scratches? ”
"Nothing."
"That's fine, but you broke one of Mom's favorite cups!" I said to her with a little regret, "Can you tell your mother what really happened?" ”
"I just wanted to help my mom pour a glass of water, and I accidentally knocked over my dad's cup." Looking at the child's aggrieved appearance, I did not blame, but quietly listened to the child's statement.
"You said this cup is Daddy's favorite cup!" As the child spoke, the tears were about to fall.
"It doesn't matter, I believe it was just a small accident, right?"
"Hmm."
"So baby don't worry too much, your safety is more important, let's clean up this place together."
"Okay"
"Then go get the broom now."
The child slowly came down, ran to the balcony, got a broom and handed it to me. Watching me clean up the glass slag on the floor, the child stood aside at a loss. "Mom, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."
"It's okay, baby, it was just an accident."
"How do we explain it to Dad?"
"We can go buy a new one!"
"It's a good idea. But this cup has been around for many years, and it's hard to find the same in the store. ”
"What then?"
"But we can go and see if there's anything like that!" Tomorrow weekend, mom will accompany you to the supermarket to see. ”
So the next day, I took the child to the supermarket near my home and found a similar glass. When it comes to payment, I choose to let the child pay with his own pressure money.
"I hope Dad doesn't get mad at us."
"We? No, the cup was broken by you, Oh, Mom is just helping you. ”
"When Dad comes back from a business trip, you personally explain to him whether to forgive you is Your Father's right, but you should apologize to Your Father!"
In fact, who hasn't made a mistake yet? Not to mention that it is still good intentions to do bad things!
So, sincerely: after the child makes a mistake, he should be congratulated, and there is another chance to grow up.
Adults, let alone children. It's just that when the child makes a mistake, don't rush to criticize, but should calm down and listen to the child's explanation, and first understand the origin of the matter. Don't rush to lose your temper, but try to tolerate your child's faults. As parents, what should be taught to children is to distinguish responsibilities and have the courage to take responsibility.
We can help the child deal with the problem together, but let the child know who made the mistake, and tell the child that cheating is not right, and use the place to admit the mistake and take the initiative to take responsibility.
On the road to growth, mistakes are allowed, but it is a good child to know that mistakes can be corrected.
