“我吃完饭了!”一个两岁的男孩捧着空空的小碗自豪地说。他没让妈妈帮忙,自己用匙吃完了饭。尽管他的母亲注意到,孩子并没有把碗里的饭全部吃进去,一大半饭都撒到了地板上,但她还是鼓励孩子说“真是个乖孩子!”她微笑着告诉孩子,下次他就能把更多的饭吃到嘴里。这位母亲所注重的是,孩子能够自己吃饭的这种尝试,因此她才给予他称赞。 “I’m finished! ” A two-year-old boy proudly said holding a small empty bowl. He did not help her mother, finished his spoon spoonful. Although his mother noticed that the child did not eat all the rice in the bowl, most of the rice spilled on the floor, but she encouraged the child to say, “It’s a good boy.” She smiled and told her that He can eat more rice in his mouth. The mother focused on the attempt of the child to eat by himself, so she praised him.
