Kids play

I was at Ikea yesterday after picking up my husband after work. Nasya as usual, playing with new friends at the kids area, but the tv is not functioning. 2 older kids age 5-7, siblings, eurasians and Nasya suddenly turned into "My name is Nasya, so what yours?" all english mode after that. Thanks to Playhouse Disney.

So, we let her play, when another kid joined the crowd. Nasya was so talkative and screamed, laughed and yelled like crazy. Happy. Fine. When that one kid join, he didnt talk much and the older kid said something like "He's stupid, he didnt understand what we say.."

And my daughter joined the crowd to laugh at the other kid. The other kid didnt say anything but still play until the rest accepted him, playing together.

I was reading this yesterday, and noticed that my daugther maybe has most of it, thats why, she was accepted to the crowd easily. Later we sent her to the playland, where she met the older kids again, and then they were playing together holding hands. They both age 5 & 7. My daughter is just 4.

Six Ways to Make People Like You
  1. Become genuinely interested in other people.
  2. Smile.
  3. Remember that a person's name is, to that person, the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
  4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
  5. Talk in terms of the other person's interest.
  6. Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.
I shud learn from my daughter. Seriously.
