But when they came back, mom didn't keep her promise. Zeng Shen insisted on killing pigs. He told his wife seriously that children can't be cheated! In fact, you are teaching children to lie in this way. Indeed, everything parents say and do is the object of direct imitation by children. Parents don't need to talk about rules and regulations. All you have to do is set an example and put on a show.
Parents who break their promises, it is difficult for their children to make a difference in the future. Even trivial things in life, let children feel the honesty and trustworthiness of their parents. The child is in the stage of growth and development, and his heart is innocent and pure. I am also full of dependence on my parents. Children will accept everything their parents say seriously and modestly.
The reason why there is a family now, the child is rebellious. It's because parents and elders didn't do well and didn't set a good example in some aspects. When children lie, parents will show great hatred. Even scolding or corporal punishment. If parents lose their children's trust. Then there is no prestige at all.
A friend once told me about his childhood experience. He said he would tell his parents something every time, but told them not to tell anyone. And his parents always inadvertently revealed what he said to others, which caused serious harm to his heart. Filial piety is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, but parents have done things that hurt their children. They have also become liars in the eyes of children. Only when your parents keep their promises will your words have real power.
