I am at my aunt and uncle's house this weekend, before I return home. At one point I was playing with one of my youngest cousins when he started to cry. I guess he thought I was playing too rough. I felt sorry, but his mom (my aunt) told me he was fine. In fact, it became a good teaching moment because this young cousin sometimes played too rough with his baby sister. So, my aunt was able to show her toddler son how important it is to be considerate of others.
I feel that I learn a lot about parenting from this aunt and uncle. In this situation, the mother turned a small problem into an opportunity. I am grateful to be able to see other examples of good patenting outside my immediate family.
