I’ve been reading through all your comments, and I truly appreciate the concern you’ve shown for my daughter. I want to be open with you all: I don’t take these comments as bashing. Instead, I see them as a community wanting the best for my kids and I’m genuinely thankful for that.
To give you the full picture, this wasn’t an issue of discipline, but rather a miscommunication. My daughter had actually invited her siblings to share her cookies, but because there wasn't a clear 'agreement' on how much they could take and what exactly they can get, things ended in hurt feelings. I’m not saying that my 5 and 8-year-olds shouldn't be held accountable—they are still learning the ropes of boundaries, and I am guiding them through that every day. But I also want to share that all three of my kids are incredibly sweet and generous at their core.
We are a work in progress, and like every family, we have our moments. Your feedback has been a great reminder for me to be even more intentional in teaching them how to balance generosity with boundaries. I hear you loud and clear—my daughter deserves to feel that her things are respected and I’m committed to making sure she feels supported while also helping my younger ones grow.
Thank you for helping me be a better parent. I am still learning, and I’m so glad to have your insights along the way.
PS: Just to lighten the mood, yes! Itong dalawa na ito ang mga salarin sa cookies ni Ate! 😅😂 Always an adventure in our house.😅
