Rejecting the child's unreasonable request makes him more grateful
I remember it was a sunny afternoon and I was playing in the park with my kids. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful toy and ran over to me and asked me to buy it for him. I knew he had a lot of toys before and had recently gotten a lot of gifts, so I turned down his request. The child started to get emotional, crying and asking me to buy him the toy, but I stuck with my decision.
When I got home, I sat down with my children to talk. I told him that I didn't refuse his request because I didn't love him, but because I wanted him to be grateful. I went back with him to the gifts and toys he had received and made him realize that he already had a lot of things. I told him that some children don't even have a new dress and that we should cherish what we have now instead of blindly chasing for more.
In the days that followed, I noticed that the child was more appreciative of his toys and gifts. He began to make more restrained demands on me, and he also showed more gratitude when he received a new gift. I have seen him grow and progress, and I am glad for my decision.
Slowly, the child's mindset changed, and instead of blindly chasing new toys and gifts, he paid more attention to time and interaction with his family. He and I read books, do crafts, and play games together, and these parent-child moments have become a deeper emotional bond between us. I understand that this was because I rejected his unreasonable demands and made him understand the importance of gratitude.
Through this experience, I also learned about the responsibilities of being a parent. Rejecting a child's unreasonable demands is not an easy task, but it is a must-do. Only by letting the child understand gratitude can he move forward more firmly on the road of growth. As parents, we must give love and care to our children, but more importantly, we must give them the right guidance and education, so that they can become responsible and responsible people.
In this material-rich society, children are easily confused by all kinds of **, and they need the guidance and education of their parents. We need to teach them to be grateful and to cherish them. Only in this way can they be more determined and mature on the road of life in the future.
I believe that through the communication and education between me and my child, he will become a grateful child and a responsible person. I will continue to accompany him to grow up, give him love and care, and let him be full of confidence and courage in the future life path and become an excellent person. Gratitude is our common voice.
