Tong Xiaohua was a mischievous child, but when she did something wrong, her mother rarely scolded her.
One time, her mother asked her, "Xiao Hua, do you have any favorite toys recently?"
At that time, she had no idea what her mother meant by asking her this.
"I like little monkeys with very long tails and limbs!"
She had seen other children with long-limbed monkeys hooked around their necks, which looked very cute.
"Alright! If Xiao Hua works hard to change this bad habit, Mommy will buy you a little monkey, okay?"
From her mother, Tong Xiaohua learned a principle: to correct a child's mistake, applying appropriate rewards using a different method often works better than scolding and beating.
The same goes for adults; Tong Xiaohua felt that occasionally one could try her mother's method.
She shared these thoughts with Qin Ming, who gave her a thumbs up.
"It seems you understand much more than your father and I do."
