He pulled me to the dragon ride... he actually wanted to go for the small dragon ride, but we went to the wrong queue —— big dragon rollercoaster.
He was silent throughout the fast-moving ride. At the end of the ride, his face turned a little green and he almost cried.
I carried him up and patted him, “What a brave boy you are! When Papa was 6, I didn’t dare to go for this.”
When he saw his mummy, he said, “Mama, I’m a brave boy. Papa said he didn’t dare to go for this kind of ride when he was 6 years old.”
In the face of fears, we can undo what a child went through emotionally by affirming what he has overcome. #fathering101
