Parenting doesn’t just happen at school. Indeed, it is at home that children acquire habits and values. However, despite all our good will, little ones can regress, throw tantrums, etc. And this is where it’s important to realize that they are not the only ones who need to be brought up.
And that’s where it’s important to act, to remind them of the rules, to be firm, but to explain, as Haley Hassel, a single mother, did when she threw her new kit in the trash. I went to three stores looking for the cover you see in the trash can,” she wrote.
“When I handed her the gift this afternoon (knowing she would be thrilled), she looked at it and threw it in the trash and locked herself in the bedroom. She yelled: “It’s garbage, everyone in my class has these… I don’t need it!
Haley tried to remain calm in the face of her daughter Presley.
“…I guess the smoke was coming out of my ears, and I tried my best to keep my cool in front of my daughter. I work hard to take care of her and make sure she has everything she wants and more.”
Haley decided to teach her daughter a lesson. She gave her her new kit: a plastic bag.
“She went crazy! Suddenly she liked the kit, which she threw in the trash… but it was too late,” Haley wrote.The woman also found the right solution for the kit:
“I told her to pick it up from the trash and give it to her child the next day In case her parents didn’t have enough money to buy her school supplies.”
The publication received a lot of positive feedback. However, some people on the Internet think she is a bad mother, Haley told Good Morning America.As a result, mother and daughter sent the kit to a 5-year-old girl who lives in Utah.
Has Presley learned her lesson? “Presley thought it was a fantastic idea. She realized that when we were buying school supplies for other kids,” Haley said, adding that it gave her daughter a new perspective.
