Being a better parent

Here's an article on how to answer children's questions without deceiving them, I think it's really helpful! Especially since I'll need to figure out how to say these in Chinese hahaha -
I want to make sure my kids speak Chinese at home, so I'll lead by example!

It reminds me of that time as a kid I pointed at a dwarf lady (who was around my height back then) and asked my mum super loudly, "为什么她那么矮?" The lady got super angry and started scolding me, saying "你怎么这么没有家教!"

I was so shocked and hurt by her scolding I started crying because I didn't like to be scolded (I still don't), and I figured I must have done something wrong. I was feeling traumatized for a long while after that, and till today I'll always remember that incident. Now I know how my mum should have taught me preemptively so I wouldn't have gotten scolded lol. And now I know I hurt that lady badly with my innocent question, which is why she retaliated with hurting me instead. As an adult, I'll have to learn to be more open to criticism and to innocent (but true) questions like that, so I won't be hurting kids, but rather educating them to be empathetic and kinder in their interactions.

Also, wherever you are lady, I'm sorry :( Please forgive a young child's thoughtlessness, and I hope you are living a happy life now.

P.S. I guess only kids will point out things that look different or don't make sense, which is why the truth actually gets revealed in the Emperor's New Clothes!
