My 7-year-old daughter is very chirpy, naughty, talkative, full of life. Also, she gets angry or sad at the drop of a hat. Last week, she had her exams and as a good student was pretty confident and happy about her papers. But on the day of her computer exam, she was a little sad that she couldn't answer two questions.
Two days later suddenly she started crying. On repeated questioning, she mentioned that on the day of her computer exam, she had her drawing exam and due to her foul mood of not being able to answer two questions of the computer paper she didn't do any colouring in her drawing paper. Though I was annoyed and taken aback, I was happy that she was being honest.
It was not a big issue. She will eventually learn from her own mistakes. But the fact that she couldn't carry the guilt of not confessing the truth to me and eventually letting it out made me happy. I would want my children to confide smallest of things to me so that our communication channel always remains healthy, throughout the lifetime.
