As I had my first child, I promised myself
never to be a pushy parent. I was going to be a very 36 and
understanding mother.
Five
years later my little boy was about to 37 for his yellow belt in
karate(空手道). As a five-year-old child, he
wasn’t taking it 38 , because it was Mom trying to help him.
I found myself yelling and telling him he would never get the belt acting like
that. I was trying to 39 him his back-flip(背摔). He continued to play and I
continued to 40 . Finally I had made him feel like he
couldn’t 41 anything, just as I promised myself I wouldn’t
do.
Still
mad and stubborn I couldn’t 42 . I had to teach him his
flip. He was doing fine with it by the time we had to leave to go to karate.
While taking the test, he did 43 . His instructor would ask
him to do something, and it became 44 for him. He never
asked him to do the back-flip. He had passed his yellow belt test.
We
got in the car to 45 when he looked at me and said ”Mom, why
did you make me do that back-flip so many times, 46 it
wasn’t even on the test.” The words wouldn’t have 47 anything
to anyone else, but it was a slap in my face. That night while 48 in bed,
I told him I loved him.
He
was 49 and didn’t say anything, just giggled. I said “I
really do love you baby.” I was still feeling 50 , and also
wondering if he had 51 me. Finally he replied in the 52
voice, “I know you do, but I love you more.”
He
had forgiven me and I had decided that his feeling were more 53 than
any test he would 54 take. I made a new 55 to
be better mother and to accept that he was only a child.
