我的那个傻小子
儿子十一岁,不记得什么时候发现了他的自信,反正有至少三, 四年了。几桩小事...
(1)几年前决定给孩子们换琴,女儿在Mayton随便弹了个曲子,店里的客人都停止说话,朝女儿望去,女儿发现,迅速停止弹奏,走开。 儿子发现,马上坐下弹起来,还悄悄四周看看是否有人注意他...
(2)我一问他学习怎样,他总是说,谁谁说了,他是学校smartest boy...现小学毕业,居然告诉我,他的数学在他们学校made a record.
只是这些就罢。看完American Got Talent的广告,他又一次问:Mom, shall we enter that? A lot of people know us and told me that I am good. 我不知该怎么告诉他去National TV show他还差得太远。 他和女儿参加过local talent show,女儿已拿四次第一,他拿两次第一,许多人说他如何好(老美爱夸小孩)。他也参加学校的talent show 和一些Piano competition,总是得奖或有人夸,慢慢他觉得他是最好的。
自信很好,但我怎么告诉他去American Got Talent现在是不可能的呢?
顺便说一下,儿子并不是盛气凌人,自我的人,他很有爱心,9.11后,学校捐款,lg送他去学校,随意问了一下:你捐多少?他说:I have my wallet. lg一惊:你打算都捐?Yes.他钱包里有尽$400是他几年yard sale,drink sale和生日,过节的钱全部家当...学校的Can Food Drive,他把袋子双层,然后到车库放了满满的Can Food。我跟他开玩笑:If you keep on doing this, pretty soon we will be in that program.
总之,孩子很天真,怎样正确引导?
后记:好友见到我儿说,你的儿子性格很象他的父亲,阳光、自信、富有爱心。妈妈尽可放心,将来肯定特招女孩待见。
受好友鼓励,我开始搜索儿子的闪光点,还真找到了。

在毕业典礼上,老师在接到每个学生的玫瑰和hug后,有些“进入角色”,所有的人都关注着老师,不知傻小子注意到那“一瞥”了吗?
Parent'sHomework
Due:Sept.5, 2007
In a million words or less
tell me about your child (include anything you want to tell about your son/daughter, nothing is unimportant)
My Silly Boy
My son is 11. I don't know when I found that he is very confident, I think at least three to four years. Here are some little things I remember...
(1) We decided to buy a grand piano several years ago. When my daughter played a short piece at Mayton Musical Store, al the customers stopped talking and watched her play. She stopped and walked away. My son quickly sat on the bench and started to play. In the mean time, he looked around to see if anyone was watching him...
(2) He always says that someone in school said that he is the smartest in school whenever I ask him about his school work. He even told me that he made a record in Math at F Elementary School when he graduated there.
It was OK for just these. One day after watching the commercial of "American Got Talent", he asked me again:” Mom, shall we enter that? A lot of people know us and told me that I am good. ”I don't know how to tell him that he is too far away from National TV shows. Both my daughter and my son participated XXX Valley Talent Show in the past years, she got first place four times and he got first place two times. Many audiences told him that his is very talented. He went school talent shows and annual Piano Festivals, and he always won some prices. Gradually, he thinks he is the best.
It is very good to have self-confidence. But, how should I tell him that he is not good enough to be on American Got Talent?
By the way, he is not bully or rude. In stead, he is very caring and loving. After 9.11, he participated school donation. His Dad took him to school in the morning and asked him how much he was going to donate. He said: I have my wallet. He Dad asked: Are you going to donate all? He said: Yes. There was about $400 from years of garage sales, lemonade stand and birthdays... During school can food drive, he doubled grocery bags and put full of can food from the garage. I joked with him: If you keep on doing this, pretty soon we will be in that program.
In summary, he is very innocent, how to educate him?
One of my friends told me that he has self-confidence, loving and caring. I should not worry about him; there will be a lot of girls like him.
I hope it is true.
