Yes, its Abi, who else
I was upstairs going to the bathroom when I overheard the exchange of words between Abi and his Papa. Let me tell you that this is just normal between the two. This is just one of those.
Abi: Papa, why do you tell us to be smart always? Mama just said "behave". It's not exam naman everyday, but good behavior is everyday.
Me: ( Good! It shows that my pangaral is seriously ingrained)
Papa: Yes, you should be smart everyday. (D never gives "sound" argument. Pang aasar lang talaga ang habol nya, kaya paulit ulit lang sya ng sinasabi).
Abi: But Papa, behavior is 25%.
Papa: What is 75% then?
Abi: There is no 75%!
Papa: If Behavior is 25%, what is 75%?
Abi: There is no 75% nga!
Me: (har har har)
Aside from teaching values and proper behavior, we encourage our children to express their ideas freely, even to the extent of pointing out to us our mistakes and inconsistencies. There are times when Abi goes overboard, he yells during arguments just to get his message across and this alarms me no end. but i get comforted by the thought that children live by example. It could be his personality, but one day I know he would learn to tame his temper. we only have to teach him little by little.
"Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it."
