Day 55

09/05/2020 Saturday, Sunny

Sean has a big breakdown today after losing a scrabble game. He wanted to win so much that he begged us to let him win during the game. His mum is shocked and ashamed. I'm not that surprised as I saw this behaviour in a table tennis game before.

After the loss, he cried and shouted. He denies the defeat. Honestly he's good at this game. He thinks fast, usually has ingenius ideas and scores big. But he lose to luck this time. I have two blanks and I copy his word idea. He's yet to learn how to deal with setbacks.

Stubbornness can lead to perseverance and make one expert in some area. However, it could also lead one to go on a narrow road and to go to extreme. He needs to open his mind and see all possibilities. Don't mourn the past but look forward to the future.

Day 118

11/07/2020 Saturday, Cloudy For the 2nd time since lockdown, we got out of the house and went to the park as a family. Sean and I played table tennis there, while Lili jogged around the tennis court. Later we walked around the reservoir and came home from the high street. Though we've lived here for 5 years, it's the first time we walked around it. It's near 3 miles and we ended up exhausted.

Day 128

21/07/2020 Tuesday, Cloudy Sean is grounded for a whole day today. No screen time at all. Suprisingly he did well and repaired the relationship with his mum. Without computer, iPad or TV, he played piano, learnt Chinese and played TT. The only thing missed is the math exercise. Without anybody being grumpy, it's happy family again.
