Love your children, don't fall into the misunderstanding: is grandma's "love" desirable?
Loving children is an instinct, an emotion that is deeply rooted in our hearts. Sometimes, however, the way we love our children can fall into the wrong way, leading us to act in behaviors that seem to be loving, but in fact have a negative impact on our children. This article will discuss a specific case of a grandmother who knew that her grandson had stolen her money, but kept silent and left the money in place for her grandson to take it, on the grounds that she believed it was a love for her grandson.
First of all, let's be clear: loving your children is not the same as condoning bad behavior. The act of stealing money from his grandson is obviously wrong, and this behavior may not only damage his moral values, but also cause him to form a wrong view of money and values. This behavior of the grandmother is actually encouraging the wrong behavior of the grandson. It goes against our idea of moral education for children.
Second, grandma's behavior can have long-term negative effects on grandchildren's behavior. If she does not correct her grandson's wrongdoing, then her grandson's wrongdoing will continue and even expand to other areas. He will think that whatever he wants, he can get it by stealing, which is detrimental to his personality development and social adaptability.
There are many ways to love children, and we can choose to have a positive interaction with our children, teaching them how to respect other people's possessions and how to take responsibility for their actions. This is the love of children. This is the right concept in terms of moral education.
