Dear Parents,

The little girl wanted to surprise her mother by preparing delicious biscuits! Although things did not go according to plan, her mother encouraged her, and she accepted the gift with love and joy.

The first years of a child’s life have a great influence on shaping their personality and enhancing their self-awareness when they become aware of their feelings, they name them, and express them in different ways. It is important that we support them in doing this, that we foster their initiative spirit, and allow them to try and make mistakes, and do things their way. Our story sets such an example!

What about love? The story allows us to talk with our child about different ways of expressing love to the important people in our lives, and about ways to express our gratitude to everyone who treats us with affection and kindness.

Let’s have a conversation
About ways of expressing love: The girl expressed her love for her mother by surprising her and making biscuits for her. We can talk with our child about ways to express love, and we ask them: How can we express our love for the other? We can suggest several ways, such as expressing love with words or cards, or with body language such as hugs and giving kisses, or with actions such as helping and preparing surprises, as the girl did.
About sympathy: the child was very sensitive to her mother and sympathized with her, so she did not want to wake her from her sleep. We can talk to our child and ask them how the mother feels about this behavior, and we can also ask them: How is it possible for the mother to be sensitive and sympathetic to the child? And how can a child be so towards the parents? We can give examples from our lives.
About initiative: the girl took the initiative to prepare biscuits for her mother. The mother appreciated her child’s attempt and praised her. We can talk about the initiatives that our child has taken for the other (for example: for members of their family), or the initiatives that they can generally take for the other. We can also deal with their feelings and the feelings of the other. We should praise and encourage them.
About flexibility and dealing with problems: Although the child made playdough instead of biscuits, the mother did not get angry or complain, on the contrary; She encouraged her and explained her she made playdough. We can talk with our child about experiences that did not go as we wanted or expected. How did they feel? How did they act? How did the parents act? How did we react?
About surprises: Children love surprises and enjoy receiving and preparing surprises for their parents. You may want to decide with your child to prepare mutual surprises; Like making them a favorite dessert or inviting someone they love to your house.
