Hello, parents! I just wanted to share with you and ask if all kids do this or is it just my kid. So everytime something happens that I need to apologize to him (5yo) for, he gets emotional. Like tries really hard to fight back tears and puts on a brave face and smiles. They aren't even big things. Little things like just recently we gave him an old phone with only Messenger Kids on it so he could talk to his cousins and friends. He called me when I was at work. It was a video call. I received, told him to switch off the video because video automatically turns speaker on. When he didn't, I hung up and called him. He again switched to video. I again asked him to turn off video. He said I don't know how, I'm trying. I was at work so I told him I'll talk to him later and turned off my WiFi. When I got home, I talked to my husband about maybe teaching him to use the messenger properly so he can switch to audio calls. My husband then tells me there is no audio call in the kids version, only video calls. So obviously I said -' sorry baby, Ma didn't understand that you had no way of turning off the video. That's why I kept telling you to turn it off even though you said you couldn't. I'm sorry.' And he starts taking long breaths, looks the other way trying to hide his tears and then gives me a big smile and goes on about his way. This isn't the 1st time. It happens every time I realize my mistake and apologize, or his dad apologizes. It hurts my heart to see him trying to fight back tears. I know this isn't that big an issue or anything, just sharing... Do your kids do this too? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3cD0Wq7
