One small moment from childhood can hurt for 30 years. When I was about 8 years old, my father and two older brothers caught a huge fish at the beach. As the youngest son, I was proudly guarding the fish. But for one second, I lost it. The fish jumped back into the sea. Nobody yelled at me, but the cold disappointment on their faces destroyed me. I cried like my world and the strange thing, when I talked about it with my brothers 20 years later, they didn't even remember it. Before a little 8-year-old me, it became a painful memory I carried for decades. So parents, please be careful with your reactions. What feels as small to you can become a lifelong scar for a child. Sometimes children do not remember your words. They remember your face when they failed.
