Some conversations Ryan and I had.
This conversation happened after I scolded him for misbehaving.
Ryan: Mommy why you scold me?
Mommy: Mommy scolded you because mommy loves you, mommy cares about you. If I don’t love you, I won’t bother. I’ll let you hurt yourself, let you misbehave.
Ryan: You scolded me because you love me?
Mommy: Of course. You don’t see mommy scold ‘friend yyy’ or ‘friend xxx’ do you?
Ryan: Only their mommy will scold them?
Mommy: yes….
So these days when he gets upset after being reprimanded, he would come up to me and ask:
Ryan: Mommy, you love me or not?
Mommy: Of course
Ryan: You scold me because you love me?
Mommy: Yes baby
Ryan: I want mommy sayang
Mommy: Okay okay (hug)
Yes, Ryan still wants mommy to hug whenever he gets upset. He still like to wipe his tears on mommy’s shirt because he could quiet down.
Ryan: (wail… wail … wail after being scoled)
Ryan: I want mommy sayang (wail wail wail)
Mommy: Keep quiet first or else mommy won’t sayang
Ryan: I can’t… I can’t keep quiet. I’m too sad. I want mommy to sayang while I’m crying. I want mommy to sayang with my tears
Mommy: Ok Ok (hug)
Ryan: See my tears mommy.. see my tears on mommy’s shirt? (smile right away)
Mommy: O-O-Oooo
