4. Teaching a Child to Control Anger Without Burdening Others
One day, noticing his child standing and crying, not understanding what was happening, the father asked his child:
“What's wrong, where does it hurt, my dear?”
The child heard the father's question and replied:
“Nowhere, father!”
The father, surprised, asked again:
“Then why are you crying?”
The child replied: 'I just want to cry, father'
The father understood the situation and said to the child:
'Alright, if you want to cry, then cry, but cry in a space where you won't bother anyone in our house, doing so will show more respect for everyone.' After saying this, the father took the child to the handwashing area and said:
'After you've finished crying, knock on the door'
After 2 minutes, the child knocked on the door, and the father told him to go outside.
From then on, the child no longer found excuses to vent anger on others.


5. Story of Teaching Children the Importance of Keeping Promises
There was a family with a very indulgent father and a quick-witted daughter. One day at school, she told her friends that she would invite them to her house over the weekend to taste her beautiful mother's delicious cooking because her mother cooks very well.
But in the end, she didn't say anything to her mother and forgot her promise. She told her friends:
'I just said that, you don't have to believe me.'
Her friend was sad and cried because she couldn't make her keep her word when she didn't want to. Parents told the story to her mother, and the beautiful mother was very angry. The mother scolded the child for not being obedient and blamed the father for being too indulgent.
One day, the father said the whole family would go to the park for the weekend. The child was very excited, so the whole family woke up early on the weekend, dressed neatly, and waited for the father to take them to the park. But after waiting for a long time, the father came down in pajamas from home. The child said:
'Why hasn't dad changed clothes yet? Mom and I have prepared everything and waited for dad for a long time.'
The father gently said:
'Dad said that when he felt like it, now suddenly he doesn't want to go anymore, so I'll stay home!'
The child questioned:
'Dad promised, and I've prepared everything already'
'Dad promised but can also forget, as you said'
The child felt uncomfortable but remembered that she had said the same thing to Han and Gia Nghi, so she couldn't say anything. She went upstairs and called her friend to apologize:
'I'm sorry, it feels uncomfortable to be promised and then disappointed. Next weekend, I'll invite you guys over to play and have my beautiful mother cook many delicious dishes for you guys as compensation!'
The child's parents looked at each other, proud that their child knew how to admit mistakes and understand how to put themselves in others' shoes, as well as keep promises when they made them.
