    • Parenting Tips #9: Sorry

      It’s hard to say I am sorry. Well you know the famous song. Parents must remember that parents are human and do make mistakes. If we are in the wrong, we must be ready to say “SORRY”. Saying sorry does not loose your authority but gain respect from your child. Your child will learn that it is ok to say sorry.

      Today daddy asked Timothy to change his pajamas while he is in the kitchen making his milk. Daddy gave specific instruction that after both of them change, they can watch cartoon for a little while. Emily came into the kitchen and ask daddy to switch on the cartoon.

      Daddy and I assumed that Timothy who was not changing his pajamas. He is always taking his sweet time to do things when instructed. Both daddy and I told Emily that if kor kor didn’t change his pajamas, there is no cartoon. Timothy was very sensitive and he was actually in the midst of changing. He came right into the kitchen naked and cried “You cannot say I am not changing my pajamas”. Opps.

      Later daddy and I apologized to him and gave him big hugs & kisses. Of coz, we did switch on the cartoon for both of them.

    1. Mich, these days Qi also very sensitive. If we accidentaly blamed her, she shout back at us telling us that SHE IS DOING IT….wah….!!!

    2. Once in awhile, XY will also surprise me with her prompt response to my instructions. If I had assumed wrongly, gotta apologise to her loh.

    3. Totally agree! We should and must say sorry if we make mistakes.
