How do you explain things to your child?

Hello guys. Good morning and have a nice day ahead.

Recently I always said this world " Hindi lahat ng nakikita mo sa kanila ay tama anak " .

To be honest I having a hard time explaining things to my son especially when he is in school and others mothers are beside me. You know we have different parenting style. For some parents it's okay but for me it's not.

For you to understand I will explain here different scenarios.

I don't understand why the teacher allowed parents and children to eat junk foods during break time. Like what the? Teacher should be the one who encourage children to eat healthy right? After all they have feeding program who encourage children to eat healthy foods.

My son was asking why other kids are eating junk food during break time and I can't explain it well. I can't say that it's bad and unhealthy because other parents will hear it . You know what I mean 😏

I just tell my son that we will eat junk food after school just for him to be quiet and not continue asking.

I am torn between sticking to my rules and bringing some candies or junk foods on the school but I still stick to my rules.

Here's another scenario.

Sometimes are playing outside even if it's 8 PM already. My son wants to play to together with his cousins but I don't want to. I set the rules for him that if it's already dark outside no more playtime but sometimes he asked me why his cousin can still play.

You know parenting is hard sometimes haha. Like what @Eybyoung said it's better to be a monster rather that to spoil your children.

It's okay for me if he had some tantrums or makes tampo to me for a while. Afterwards I will explain why I need to do this. On the young age I want him to learn that not all the things you see around you us correct and you need to follow it.

As a parent its our responsibility to guide our children about this matter.

Just a random thought while hanging out here with the MommyTess 🤣
