     I will never ever say this to my child|Learn Chinese with Story

    Introduction:

    When I first heard this story from my best friend, I suddenly realized how much a person’s childhood can shape the way they think as an adult.

    Over the years, I’ve met many people who struggle to think independently. And strangely, I’ve noticed that many of their parents used to say and do the same kinds of things— the kind that quietly discourage kids from speaking up or having their own thoughts.

    That’s why I made this video.

    I’m not saying I’m right. I just want to open a quiet space where we can think about this together.

     Script:

    哈喽,大家好,我是焱曦。

  • 20. A Mom's Surprising Solution to a Tantrum

    A Mom's Surprising Solution to a Tantrum

     

    昨天晚上我去超市买东西。然后碰见了一对母子。发生了一件让我印象深刻的事情。今天我就给大家讲一讲。

    Last night, I went to the supermarket to buy some things.

    I came across a mother and her son, and something happened that left a deep impression on
    me. Today, I'd like to share it with you.


    哈喽,大家好! I‘m Lucky Yancy from YMC Learn

    Chinese.


    我在超市的玩具货架前面看到一个小男孩。他站在那里哭。

    他想让他的妈妈给他买一个玩具。我之前也看见过这样的情形。

    I saw a little boy crying in front of the toy aisle in the

    supermarket. He wanted his mom to buy him a toy. I've seen this kind of
    situation before.

     

    我以为接下来会发生这样的画面。

    "呜呜~我要! 我要! 我就要这个玩具! 给我买!”

    “要什么要! 打死你!”

    I thought what would happen next would be like this:

    "Wah ~ I want it! I want it! I just want this toy! Buy it for

    me!"

    "Stop asking for it! I'll smack you!"

     

    我脑子里的画面是这个样子的。可惜啊, 我没看到。

    This is the scene I pictured in my mind. Unfortunately, I didn't see

    that.

     

    这个妈妈呢他没有打他的孩子, 也没有骂他的孩子。相反她是这样做的。

    This mom neither hit nor scolded her child. Instead, she did

    something different.
