"Mama! Mama!" My 2-year-old son yells at his most excited, I-just-discovered-something -huge voice when we are eating a delicious hot curry with steamed rice at our dinner table.

"Look, a tree!" He yells again.I turn to find him holding up a piece of broccoli (西兰花) for us to see."Oh honey," I laugh and begin to protest, "That is bro..." But I stop.

As my son grows up, I find myself struggling not lo turn into the worst kind of teacher -the kind who overcorrects.

I have to learn to fight against my strong adult need to jump in and say, "No.that is not right." in the name of promoting knowledge.Unless I think his incorrect concept puts him in the way of harm, I have no desire to fix it.

Instead, I want to encourage my son's colorful sense of the world, in which stuffed (毛绒的) animals attend story times, flies are fascinating creatures, and red balloons share secrets.

       At our dinner table, I study the face of my child who is eagerly waiting for confirmation.He is smiling.His cheeks are a little flushed with excitement.

       Instead of taking the opportunity to teach him a new vegetable name.I say, "Wow, look!" pointing at his plate, "You have many trees in your rice!"

He laughs happily, his lovely face redder.

"So, how many trees can you eat?" I ask him, breaking in with another strong parenting desire I have: forming healthy eating habits.

He playfully puts one after another into his mouth, delighled by the possibility of pulling out the little trees that grow in his rice and eating them right off his plate.
