Teach children to be grateful


A few weeks ago, I got very upset with my firstborn because she failed to tell us that she had lost the watch her father had just bought for her. I was cleaning her room and realised her watch was not in the box, so when I queried her, she told me that it went missing several weeks ago during gym class. I asked her why she didn’t tell me the day she knew it was nowhere to be found – she replied, “I was hoping to find it the next day mama, but I didn’t and after that, I forgot.”

Forgot or scared to tell us?
