我的那個傻小子
兒子十一歲,不記得什麽時候發現了他的自信,反正有至少三, 四年了。幾樁小事...
(1)幾年前決定給孩子們換琴,女兒在Mayton隨便彈了個曲子,店裏的客人都停止說話,朝女兒望去,女兒發現,迅速停止彈奏,走開。 兒子發現,馬上坐下彈起來,還悄悄四周看看是否有人注意他...
(2)我一問他學習怎樣,他總是說,誰誰說了,他是學校smartest boy...現小學畢業,居然告訴我,他的數學在他們學校made a record.
隻是這些就罷。看完American Got Talent的廣告,他又一次問:Mom, shall we enter that? A lot of people know us and told me that I am good. 我不知該怎麽告訴他去National TV show他還差得太遠。 他和女兒參加過local talent show,女兒已拿四次第一,他拿兩次第一,許多人說他如何好(老美愛誇小孩)。他也參加學校的talent show 和一些Piano competition,總是得獎或有人誇,慢慢他覺得他是最好的。
自信很好,但我怎麽告訴他去American Got Talent現在是不可能的呢?
順便說一下,兒子並不是盛氣淩人,自我的人,他很有愛心,9.11後,學校捐款,lg送他去學校,隨意問了一下:你捐多少?他說:I have my wallet. lg一驚:你打算都捐?Yes.他錢包裏有盡$400是他幾年yard sale,drink sale和生日,過節的錢全部家當...學校的Can Food Drive,他把袋子雙層,然後到車庫放了滿滿的Can Food。我跟他開玩笑:If you keep on doing this, pretty soon we will be in that program.
總之,孩子很天真,怎樣正確引導?
後記:好友見到我兒說,你的兒子性格很象他的父親,陽光、自信、富有愛心。媽媽盡可放心,將來肯定特招女孩待見。
受好友鼓勵,我開始搜索兒子的閃光點,還真找到了。

在畢業典禮上,老師在接到每個學生的玫瑰和hug後,有些“進入角色”,所有的人都關注著老師,不知傻小子注意到那“一瞥”了嗎?
Parent'sHomework
Due:Sept.5, 2007
In a million words or less
tell me about your child (include anything you want to tell about your son/daughter, nothing is unimportant)
My Silly Boy
My son is 11. I don't know when I found that he is very confident, I think at least three to four years. Here are some little things I remember...
(1) We decided to buy a grand piano several years ago. When my daughter played a short piece at Mayton Musical Store, al the customers stopped talking and watched her play. She stopped and walked away. My son quickly sat on the bench and started to play. In the mean time, he looked around to see if anyone was watching him...
(2) He always says that someone in school said that he is the smartest in school whenever I ask him about his school work. He even told me that he made a record in Math at F Elementary School when he graduated there.
It was OK for just these. One day after watching the commercial of "American Got Talent", he asked me again:” Mom, shall we enter that? A lot of people know us and told me that I am good. ”I don't know how to tell him that he is too far away from National TV shows. Both my daughter and my son participated XXX Valley Talent Show in the past years, she got first place four times and he got first place two times. Many audiences told him that his is very talented. He went school talent shows and annual Piano Festivals, and he always won some prices. Gradually, he thinks he is the best.
It is very good to have self-confidence. But, how should I tell him that he is not good enough to be on American Got Talent?
By the way, he is not bully or rude. In stead, he is very caring and loving. After 9.11, he participated school donation. His Dad took him to school in the morning and asked him how much he was going to donate. He said: I have my wallet. He Dad asked: Are you going to donate all? He said: Yes. There was about $400 from years of garage sales, lemonade stand and birthdays... During school can food drive, he doubled grocery bags and put full of can food from the garage. I joked with him: If you keep on doing this, pretty soon we will be in that program.
In summary, he is very innocent, how to educate him?
One of my friends told me that he has self-confidence, loving and caring. I should not worry about him; there will be a lot of girls like him.
I hope it is true.
