This week, many Taiwanese elementary students are facing midterms. For parents sitting beside them during revision, the patience line is often one mistake away from snapping.
I saw a parent post a picture of a torn-up exam paper on Facebook, and it struck a chord with me...
Tearing a child’s paper takes one second. Rebuilding their confidence takes everything else.
Education is not a straight line. It’s a spiral—same mistake, same page, same quiet choice to say “Let’s try again.” The torn paper destroys the adult’s temper. What remains is the child’s fear.
考卷可以重印,被撕碎的信任卻需要漫長的陪伴…😥
面對同一個錯誤,
如果還能控制情緒,說一句「沒關係,我們再來一次~🥰」
或許,這才是真正的身教!
成長只有一次。
