Essay7 4-1-2017 Saving Face

As a parent, I always expect kid of my own to be excellent, it'd better to be more and more. And also tell him it doesn't matter if you win or lose. The idea is great, but I pushed him too hard and chose a wrong way. To this day, I always feel very guilty. I did those things in order to save face.

I was a career woman. Winning feels pretty great, I had my own moment, so hoped my kid to  be the best at something and achieved that moment. But I was wrong to do that.

When my son was a child, I forced him to do what he didn’t like, calligraphy, erhu, singing ,  painting..... ,To be honest, saving face just like a killer to kill his hobbies. At his free time, he always studied from a place to another. He slowly became silent, less smiling. His childhood was unhappy. I was changed until he went to junior high school.

Nothing is more important than the child’s laughter. It's most important to let children have a happy childhood. The damn face-saving
