aI don’t want you to be worried, but our son has some bad habits now. He says painful words everyday.
我不想让你担心,但是我们的儿子现在有些坏习惯了。他每天都说些伤人的话。
bWhat words? Can you tell me?
什么话?你能告诉我吗?
aHe says kick mommy, beat mommy, don’t want mommy very quickly if I do something that he doesn’t like. You know, if I wash his face or change his clothes, things like that.
bHoney, I don’t know what to tell you. Of course Tony is a young child. But do not underestimate his ability to learn and reason.
亲爱的,我不知道该怎么跟你说。当然托尼还是个小孩子。但不要小看他学习、讲道理的能力。
aYes, but sometimes he is just not reasonable.
是啊,但是有时候他就是很不讲理。
bI suggest you treat him with patience, affection, and respect. If he needs to do something, like go to bed, or be washed, etc., please guide or help him to get it done, but lead him with gentleness.
bMotivate Tony to cooperate by rewarding his good behavior. Do not emphasize punishment for bad moods, etc. Do not threaten him with punishment if he resists the actions you desire.
