Do you make the same mistake too?
This morning while I was coming down the stairs. I heard these conversation.
姨婆: 伦,爸爸去做工, 不可以和你玩. 赚多多钱买玩具给你.
Aunt: Lun, your father is going to work. He will earn lots of money to buy you toys.
伦: 爸爸做工! ( 指示爸爸去做工)
Lun: Father working! ( pointed to the door, ask my husband to go to work.)
Well, you might find nothing wrong with these teaching. BUT…Last night, while we played, my son took out my money from my mobile cover. I asked him, whose money is this? He told me that was his. And, last Friday, my colleague told me his nephew told him, father, aunt and grandpa, went out to work because they have to buy toys for him. Therefore, it’s their duty to buy toys for him.
I got a shock! I quickly interfere their conversation.
我: 不可以. 不可以. 爸爸赚钱不是买玩具给伦玩. 不可以这么教. 赚的钱,不是给儿子而已.
me: No! no. Those money is not to buy toys. Can’t teach him this way. The money is not his.
姨婆: 那, 买奶粉,可以吧…
Aunt: Well, how about to buy milk powder for him?
我: 也不好…..该说养家.! ( 但… 这又太深奥了….哎~~)
Me: No, not that too. We should tell him these money is to raise a family.
Teaching children in adult way. Arn’t you too?
Dear ( all those who are reading this post),
Excuse me for writing too much. I had this question in my mind for quite a long time. Teaching children in adult way. Aren’t you too?
Children no matter at what age. They are intelligent with their own mind.
I had once tried to teach my son to use brushes, the adult way- use brush to paint. Instead, he use the brush to stir. Stir up my whole jar of color. End up, the drawing paper was as clean as new. But my son was filled with colors and so was the floor and the palette. And that very moment, I realize! Why must we draw only on papers? Palate is a good medium to draw too.
Luckily, I didn’t restrict him. If not, he will not have to chance to explore!
Bob the builder -That’s me!
Can we fix it? YES WE CAN~!
There is a construction going on at the garden nearby our home. This is an exciting moment for my son-Lun.
His daily stories are always on buildings and fire engine. So, last Sunday. I’ve packed his dinner. We picnic at the garden.
This was a miracle dinner for Lun. Should i name this as erm… Romantic dinner with digger ? He ate while imagining himself on the site working . And constantly admiring at the excavator parked in front of him.
haha haha haha
While we had our dinner, my son suddenly stood up high on the bench. and earnestly decided to become a digger driver.
In his baby language he said;”妈咪,伦以后驾digger! 呣. ” with a nod of confirm.
*sweat*
