Appease His Anger
Child, Parenting, School-study January 12th, 2010Its just NOT my style to ask, “How’s school today?”
Too broad.
Kids love straight-to-the-point.
Well, I myself never liked adults to ask that question.
So I do not do it to my children.
I will always ask….
“Was there anything that made you Happy in School today?”
“Was there anything that made you Sad in School today?”
“Was there anything that made you Laugh in School today?”
“Was there anything that made you Angry in School today?”
Today, the answer was “Yes” to that last question.
Me: “Oh! A little Angry or VERY Angry? What Happened?”
Keatkeat: “VERY ANGRY! The boy beside me drop his water-bottle and it cracked. Make my bag wet! Uuurrrgghhh…!”
Well my boy was in luck today! It was so easy to appease his anger because we brought him to watch his Favourite ~ Lion Dance. All thanks to Carlsberg’s Weekly Lunar New Year Islandwide show. And today their performance was so near our place. *wink*
So the angry boy was all chirpy and happy again after that. *Giggle*
Kids are so easy to please.
How I wish Adults too…..Hhhmmm….

usually I will ask, “how’s school today? are you happy today? anything happen today?”
sometimes I don’t have to ask and she will tell me the moment she alighted from school bus :D

Great questions to ask, instead of what did you do in school today? Or, how was school today? Glad Mr. Mad got happy. :)

Angeline… did I ever tell you that was my grandmother’s name?
Anyhow, loved the questions you ask Bin Bin after school… and I really liked watching the Lion dance.
How wonderful to travel to Singapore through your blog.
Thanks for sharing.
