小明跳舞
.
這天，小明在學校裡頭學了一支舞，回家之後興沖沖地跳給奶奶看。可是小明實在跳得不怎麼樣，而且有幾個動作怎麼跳也跳不好，奶奶看了之後，其實很想嘆氣，但又一直告訴自己「要鼓勵孩子」，於是想了想之後，就告訴小明：「小明啊，你這支舞跳得不錯，比奶奶跳得好多了！」

我們東方人、尤其是華人的父母親，要學會少批評，少責怪孩子，多一些鼓勵和讚美。如果孩子正處在失敗的低谷，需要別人向上拉他一把，不要用粗暴的語言，向下打壓他。一句正面積極的鼓勵，就能讓他再繼續努力；一句負面貶低的話，有可能讓他更加否定自己，萎靡不振。這個奶奶的讚美，雖然有點讓人哭笑不得，但總比讓孩子繼續生氣強多了！

Xiao Ming dance
Xiao Ming learned a dance in school and went home to dance for his grandmother. However, he couldn’t dance well, and there were a few steps that he couldn’t do right. After seeing him dance, Grandma wanted to sigh, but she kept reminding herself to “encourage the child.” After some thoughts, she told Xiao Ming: “Xiao Ming, you danced well, much better than Grandma!”
Oriental parents, especially the Chinese, must learn to encourage and praise their children more, and not only criticize or blame their children. If the child is in the lows of life, he needs someone to lift him up, don’t use rude language, and belittle him. A positive encouragement may be what it takes for him to continue with his efforts. On the other hand, a negative word when he is feeling low may make him feel even more negative and weak. Although the praise of this grandmother might sound ridiculous, is much better than letting the child be discouraged!
