Teachable moments

This morning on my way to work, I saw a mother dragging her son on the street towards the market. Her son was looking back at another baby girl walking away the other direction. At the time, I was wondering what the boy was looking at, but I think it's that baby girl's dangling pigtails.

The boy's mother was too buys looking towards the market to realize what her son was doing. What a waste! These are the exact teachable moments where the mother can talk to their child about what they were doing, what interests them, etc.

I hope I won't be too obsessed with my own doings and forget about observing my kid! Though I am confident that I'll be very observant (that's in my nature:), I might just talk too much. haha
