Yesterday
morning while getting ready for office I was brushing my teeth. Without
realizing my 3 years old daughter standing right behind me I moved a
little backwards resulting my body hit her a little. Because my tooth
brush was in my mouth so I couldn't say sorry to her. As Hadia has
recently learnt about using Thank-you and Sorry for different situations
from her school teacher, she was expecting me to say sorry without
understanding the fact that while brushing her father can't do so. She
waited for me for a little while to apologize which I did not. So her
little heart broke and she started crying. I immediately finished my
brushing and kissed her and said sorry to her. Very soon she became
normal and forgot what has happened a while ago and we had a great
breakfast J
Later
I pondered that with friends, family and colleagues we often forget to
say sorry for our mistakes which results in stiffen relationship causing
brawls or complete break-up. While our loved ones give us time and
expect our apologetic response, we forget to say sorry or sometimes even
ignore the matter altogether considering it a minor one; whereas, it
may be critically important for someone. Hence it is important for us to
pay attention to this aspect and consider improving our Emotional
Intelligence Skills (Managing ours' as well as others' emotions),
enhance Empathic Skills and endeavour to develop trust with our loved ones for healthy relationships.
