Rating Your Child’s Behavior
Each and every morning my wife calls me about our daughter. Since I am the one who changes her, clothes her and makes her breakfast, and then takes her to daycare/school, I am the one that fills her in on her behavior.
I usually relate how what time she got up, the cute or bad things she did, what she ate for breakfast and a host of other things that are relevant.
Today, since she got up earlier than normal, I allowed her to watch a little television while she ate breakfast at the dining room table. However, she was glued to the set and I constantly had to bring her down to earth and tell her to eat as her school curriculum starts at a certain time.
One such time when I told her to eat, she blurted “Me am daddy, me am.” She said it a little too meanly for my taste. She is getting the disposition of my wife. I told her not to talk to me that way. She looked at me and asked if I was mad. I told her that I was not mad; I just want to make sure she goes to school on time.
Without further incident, she ate her breakfast and we proceeded to her school. When my wife called this morning, an idea formed in my mind. I told my wife that Caris was an A- this morning. Therefore, without further ado, I am going to rate my child’s behavior in my daily reportage to my wife. I think that the rating system will help better establish to my wife how our daughter was on any particular morning. I could expound on it and rate her behavior whenever I watch her. I like the idea.
