One of my tutor students (B) has a very kind personality.
M: Hmmm... this question is hard... (I was just warning him)
B: Don't worry! I can do it. I'll take my time.
I can't stop laughing because he *comforted* me and ensured me that he can handle the problem.
Usually, it should be the one who cannot do it so he worries. Well.. I guess I am wrong. The adults worry more than the kids do.
He is a very cute and polite boy because he would pat on his mother's or his grandma's shoulder to show them the "don't worry", instead of what most kids do - giving their parents a "don't bug me and stay away" look.

conflict between 2 generations
Imagining one day, my children have their own points of view but I disagree with them.
What will I do?
Allowing the "prodigal son" story to happen to myself and break the connection?
or we are "forced" to support what they do and hoping that their plans will work out and will return one day?
We were taught NOT to put what we think that's the best for our kids onto our kids. Let the children identify what's the best for themselves.
respect other's opinion ≠ follow that person's opinion
How can you tell if you have been listened?
