This morning, as I picked Evan up from class, 謝老师 told me that Evan has a bite mark on his left hand, a little up the wrist.
It was his classmate, Megan, who had bit him.
What happened? Well, both Megan & Evan was fighting over a toy, and both wanted to have a go at it 1st. And Evan had his hands on it, refusing to let go. Hence, Megan decided to bite Evan's hand, maybe in a bid to make him release the toy?
It was the consequence of Not Sharing.
Hey, that rings a bell ! A few years back, Dyllis had to bear the consequence of not sharing too!
Dyllis was playing with a kitchen set outside the classroom (of GUG playgroup), and she refused to play together with Seth. As a result, Seth gave Dyllis a slap on the face !
My little girl had the 1st slap in her life ! I was shocked, and that sent tears to my eyes.
Well, such incidents do happen in kids' play, and no one is to be blamed. I just find it interesting that both my kids had similar experiences as a result of Not Sharing. Sorry darlings, you have to learn to share through the 'hard way' :)
