Madam Rong opened her mouth. She hadn't scolded the child, but then she suddenly remembered what she and her husband had done the night before. Was it because of that? Had she frightened him?
In the end, Madam Rong didn't say what she wanted to say, but only said helplessly, "That's the only way. Thank you for your help. If Xiao Qi wants to go home later, please let her know."
"Don't worry." Mrs. Xi patted her shoulder, while also thinking that she shouldn't scold her daughter anymore. She should discuss any issues together. Otherwise, what if her daughter runs to her classmate's house and doesn't come home next time?
…
When the two children wanted to sleep together, Mrs. Xi had no objections. Since they were both so young, she agreed to let them sleep together.
Madam Xi told them stories by the bedside. Rong Qi was probably too tired from playing and hadn't taken a nap during the day, so he had already fallen asleep.
Wan Ge also quietly closed her eyes, so that Madam Xi could go back to rest as soon as possible.
Thinking that both children were asleep, Mrs. Xi left.
Wan Ge recalled Madam Rong's attitude today. She remembered that the plot stated that Rong Qi's parents were still very good to him, except for forcing him to face his fear.
Ultimately, forcing him to face his fear was actually meant to make him braver, since he would encounter many things in the future. But as the saying goes, using the wrong method can lead to utter ruin.
Perhaps they could slightly change their perception of Rong Qi facing his fears.
…
Meanwhile, at the Rong family home, Madam Rong tossed and turned beside her husband, unable to fall asleep. Finally, she softly said, "Isn't it too direct for us to make Xiao Qi face what she's afraid of?"
"That's how it is when facing fear. Didn't he dare to reach out his hand later?" Children are often scared and cry when they see small insects. It's normal for them to cry, so when they see that the child has stopped crying and even reached out his hand, they assume that he has become somewhat more accepting of it.
Their idea was to confront fear by starting with small things, so they put some small insects in a transparent box and showed them to Rong Qi.
The moment Rong Qi saw the insects, his eyes welled up with tears. It was their constant reassurance that encouraged him to be brave, which is why he was so clumsy. But they didn't know that even though the insects were all locked up, Rong Qi was still very scared. In the end, he was forced to reach out because he thought that maybe if he did that, they would take the insects away.
Just as he expected, they took the bug away shortly after he reached out and touched the transparent box.
“But Xiao Qi was particularly reluctant to come home with me today. He seemed very afraid of me.” He was already timid and afraid of even strangers, but the way he looked at me today seemed even more afraid than when he looked at a stranger.
That's why she wondered if she had hurt him, and whether her approach was wrong.
Mr. Rong had heard about this from his wife as soon as he got home. Seeing how uneasy she looked, he said, "How about this, let's not do that for now. Let's wait until he's a little older. Maybe he won't be so scared when he's older."
Moreover, when he grows up, if you let him face his fears, he will be better able to understand your meaning.
"Alright." Madam Rong really wanted to say forget it, but considering their current status and the many challenges Rong Qi would face in the future, she couldn't be so timid.
