But this time, her project involved much sand. 43 she'd put some plastic under her work area, it wasn't nearly enough. The sand was 44 all over our newly renovated (整修的) floor.
My daughter immediately felt my displeasure and began to 45 herself. “I used plastic！” she responded angrily.
I responded more 46 ， “But the sand is getting all over！”
“Where else am I supposed to do it？” she 47 .
Why won't she admit when she has done something 48 ？ I felt my
49 ， thinking of the future: what would her life look like if she couldn't admit her mistakes?
My fear translated into more anger, this time about how 50 it was for her to admit mistakes. We had a 51 . She said something that I felt disrespectful to me and I 52 my voice. Both of us ended up 53 terrible. I wished this
54 happened before.
So I thought that I needed a good 55 to respond to my daughter. For this, I went to my wife, Eleanor, who was truly a master. I asked her how I should have
56 it.
“Sweetie，” she said, roleplaying me in the 57 with my daughter, “There's a lot of sand here and we need to 58 it up before it destroys the floor, how can I help？”
That's really a great way to deal with it: first 59 the problem, next state what needs to happen and then offer to 60 .It's simple, right? However, it's really helpful in solving some problems in life.
