Math assignment

(daughter is working on a math homework.
 mom is looking over her shoulder)

mom:       you didn't add one hundred
daughter: uh, this is just a small mistake

mom:        dear, what are you talking about
daughter:  you know.. I forgot to add one hundred in this math assignment

mom:        this has been happening a lot lately.
                  is there anything i should know
daughter:   (face look down)
                  you are not proud of me

mom:          (silent)
daughter:     tear in her eyes

mom:           (sigh) (she didn't know what to do.)

A lot of times, parents are worried about the child's future.
They pushed the child to have a good Math and English grade.

Sometimes, the child got hurt because they want parents to praise them
rather than picking on their mistake.

So, it comes down to the communication.
How the parents present to the child is important.

If the parents present the right way,  the child is a happy camper with good confidence and
able to accomplish her math work.
If the parents present didn't present well, then it might be the other way around.

I think the bottom line is love.  The child got to feel the love from the parents.
