Scold, make them laugh when finished, and hug them

【Scold, make them laugh when finished, and hug them】
―Today's lesson and the joy of lunch―

A phrase I found in today's book

“It is effective to praise after scolding”

When I heard this sentence,
I suddenly remembered
King Kong Kajiwara's
parenting episode.

When scolding a child,
take them to another room,
listen to them thoroughly, and then scold them.
Then, say "Okay, that's it,"
make them laugh,
and finally, give them a tight hug.

I thought he was
a truly wonderful father.

Actually, thinking about things like that since this morning,
I am continuing my morning routine
again today.

And, I have something to look forward to
for lunch today:
chicken thigh meat chopped up
and stir-fried
with mayonnaise and garlic.

Just thinking about such a simple dish
makes my heart flutter a little.

I suddenly think,
King Kong Kajiwara's approach
and my morning routine stance
are somewhat similar.

“Face things properly, switch gears,
and then, laugh and look forward again.”

In life, in the morning, and in parenting,
the law of "being in the mood"
might actually be overflowing
in our daily lives.
