one just gave me an experience i will never forget. not because he simply cried, but because he cried over something kind of funny?
the story goes:
Adrian came with his elder sister, by a year, last week for a trial session to take up piano. Today was the second time he came for his trial. he started first, so there we were playing at the games the computer software had. on it went for 25 minutes and the question of the day arrived with much anticipation from him. "today got biscuit?"
why the biscuit? it was because i gave them biscuits last week as a small gift for children's day. thus, he thought that it was a weekly gift?
so i softly and nicely said "no, today no biscuit, but if you play well next week, i will give you one." this unloaded the first tears. and he started to whine and complain. rubbing his eyes made me affirmative that he is crying. so, in exasperation ( as i cannot calm him down with nothing to hoax him ), i asked the Administrator to help. she settled it all with an Oreo biscuit. bribery wins once again.
we know kids are easy and nice to hoax and bluff, but now, i see the consequence behind it. i knew that they would become dependent on such reward system, but it is one basic way to motivate and 'bribe' them? moreover, it was only the second lesson?
unfathomable kids.
another thing is: i'm running out of quotes? nothing interesting or worth publishing up here at the moment.
a short one for the time being. empty brains don't make much noises though.
*names were changed to protect myself from any unwanted trouble.
