今日は、ご近所さんの５歳児男の子を夕方から数時間預かりました。
お互いの仕事の都合により、時々、頼み頼まれという関係なのですが、同い年の娘が朝、こう言って来ました。
「昨日、Tくんが保育園でおもちゃを取ったから、今日、うちに来てほしくない」
「じゃあ、今からTくんママに、うちに来ないでくださいって連絡するよ？」
「うーん……。やっぱり、いい。でもその代わり、うちでは物を取らないように言ってね」
基本とても仲良しなのですが、昨日おもちゃを途中で取られたことを根に持っていたよう。でも、その嫌だった気持ちと彼がうちに来て一緒に遊ぶ楽しみを天秤にかけたら、後者が勝ったようです。笑
そして、とても仲良く遊んで帰って行きました。
この年齢だから喧嘩もあるだろうけど、社会性をこうやって身につけていくんだな。
A 5-year-old boy in my neighbor came to our house for a few hours this evening.
We ask each other if the other can take the kids when we come home late due to work. My younger one, who is the same age as the boy said the following in the morning.
"T took the toy I was playing yesterday so I don't want to have him tonight."
"So should I call his mom that he cannot come over?"
"Well...it's okay. But I want you to tell him not to take toys from me."
Basically they get along pretty well. But she couldn't get over with what happened the day before. I think she compared her feeling to a possible fun time when he comes over and took the latter. LOL
They played well and he left when his dad picked him up.
They are still young and fight, but that's how children learn a social life.
