Parenting Tips #5: Promises
6 CommentsChildren remember promises. I guess I have to be cautious when I make small little promises with them. No one likes an empty promise, even for an adult. Yesterday when I tugged Emily to bed, Emily wanted me to sleep with her. I told her when I finished my work, I will sleep with her.
In the middle of the night Emily creped into my room and being a light sleeper, I was half awake. She whispered to me “Mummy, you said you will sleep with me after you finished workâ€. Wow she reminds me of my promise in the middle of the night. I had to follow her to her room and sleep, to keep my promise to her. She was happy and fall back into sleep.

I try to make my promises too, but it’s the old folks who love to give white lies.

Nothing disappoints a child more than a promise unkept. Remember the disappointment in my own kid’s eyes, when a promise could not be (or was not) kept.
