The
other day, coming home from the school's bridging program...I scolded
my son for what seemed to be a minor infraction, lack of respect for a
teacher and his sometimes explosive temperament.......
So I scolded him all the way home, and weeks of pent-up frustration just came out, and although I don't swear and use bad words esp. on my children, I used rather strong language to lecture him....I was ranting and my daughter Nicole was massaging my back and getting worried.....
When we got home I went straight to my room....I felt bad because I realized that I threw some of my frustrations at my son, and I know I had hurt him....and whenever we hurt someone we love, the pain we feel is doubled.....
After an hour he went up to me, and before he could speak I hugged him and we both apologized to each other....
I said..."What took you so long going up?" He said he was ashamed and he didn't want to be scolded again, but my dad told him to go up and just say "Sorry!"...my dad said I loved Niccolo so much that I would forgive him in an instant.....I already have, even before he went up and apologized....
I only wish I had not hurt him deeply with my words....I will have to make up for that....
Being disrespectful to anyone should have no place in any of my children's personality or character...so they will always be lectured about this.....
We scold our children when we have to and when they deserve it....
but we should love our children always.... and even during the times, when they don't seem to deserve it.
God bless our children! God bless all of us!
