I am currently working at a hagwon.
As a result, we come into contact with many children, and it has become our daily routine to communicate in their mothers’ language.
When I didn’t know my mother’s language, I was annoyed and didn’t say good words.
Recently, I tried to utter her words, looking at her mother’s language.
As a result, I would rather talk to the children with a gentle smile rather than being annoyed.
I began to use encouraging words a lot.
One day, one of the students was unable to fill in an empty drawing sheet during class.
It was a burden for the child to fill in the blank paper.
I drew it for a while to help him, and then I erased it again so that he could express it more freely.
She started crying, wondering what she didn’t like.
Finally, I comforted the crying child with tears and said,
“I’m sorry. Did you upset you? The reason you deleted the drawing was because I wanted you to express yourself to your heart’s content.”
“It’s okay if you don’t make the picture perfect. My teacher never saw your drawing and didn’t like it.”
“You’re good at drawing pictures. My teacher likes to see your drawings.”
Then she stopped crying and started drawing again.
If it had been before, I would have been annoyed without comforting my child even if he cried.
Mother’s words that came out naturally gave me strength.
Mother’s words that encourage courage are the best language to convey love. Thank you
