I think children
have a lot more empathy than we thought they would have. Leanne, at three and a
half, would tear when she watches a sad scene on tv.
She is into
watching Korean dramas!!! Thanks to mommy dearest :-P. There was a scene in the
Korean drama showing the back of a woman walking alone in the dark and Leanne
asked ‘mommy, when is she so sad?’
Yesterday, we were
watching national geographic. It showed the mother giraffe protecting her baby
giraffe from the lions. The mother giraffe trampled on her baby while trying to
fend off the lions and upon realizing that her baby had died, the mother
giraffe left and the lions came back to feast on their prey. Leanne asked me
what happened to the baby giraffe and after I explained to her, she broke down
in tears and started howling and said ‘ the mommy will be so sad’… our little
darling.
What a lovely post... It's bittersweet that at a young age she's able to feel empathy and also learning to understand the inevitable sadness present in life... Ay which Korean drama you watching??
