Art is one of the best things for kids to learn, whether it is mixing colors or focusing on the art. But sometimes, not all kids can make beautiful art like my daughter. At first, she could focus on it. But after a while, my daughter started to lose focus just because of one wrong color. The color was not beautiful, she started to lose confidence and started crying. These things are very useful for me because they can help me understand my daughter, what she wants and how she feels about what she has done.
Today, my husband and I took our children out for dinner and then we visited a DIY store in Lotus. My daughter was not feeling well today and she did not want to eat much but I wanted her to eat a lot so that she would have energy. So I promised her that I would buy her one item after she tried to finish her bowl of food. I always try to keep my word to my daughter so that she will see that keeping my word is good and necessary because if I do not, then I do not need to make a promise because it will hurt her feelings. I took my daughter to a DIY store and let her choose one item and set the price not to exceed the necessary standard because the toys in DIY are very expensive and I saw that my children sometimes buy toys and throw them away after playing for a short while so I limited the price of the items that I had to buy. My older daughter got one toy for RM2.30. When I taught my younger daughter, I wanted her to draw so I got this item for RM4.70. When the children got the toys, they were very happy and delighted with it. After that, we went home and the children opened the toys they bought and started working in front of them.
My youngest daughter started coloring with determination. After a while, she started coloring messily and didn't get the color she wanted. She started to get irritated and started crying... I tried to talk back and explain to her but she didn't care. She just kept crying until I started to get angry so I walked away from her. After I walked back in again, my older daughter helped my younger daughter color, but it wasn't very pretty. But I saw my younger daughter stop crying. And I calmed down and wanted to come back and talk to my daughter. I don't want to talk to my daughter when I'm angry because it will make us both unable to understand each other. These are small learning experiences for us as mothers. In the end, everything went well, but the colors my daughter colored didn't look very good. But I didn't say anything except to gradually teach my daughter to understand that next time, art requires concentration and patience.
And today I have learned how to teach my children and control my emotions at the same time. Finally, the art came out as art, hehe. But that's not a problem or a main issue. I just want my children to be calm and able to do these things well. And learn to control their emotions so that when they grow up they can live well in society.
