當你的孩子表現並不符合自己的期待時,你會糾正他們,還是欣賞他們的特質呢?

老大愛拍美女

掙雄和鳳紅有兩個兒子,老大允中36歲未婚,個性忠厚老實與爸媽同住,薪水全數交由媽媽管理,每月領8000塊錢零用錢,從出生到現在都由媽媽幫他理髮。允中最大的休閒活動是拍攝女模,零用錢大都花在外出拍照,他的電腦裡滿滿都是女模照片,卻從來沒有交過女朋友。

老二愛上塗鴉

老二松廷32歲,職業塗鴉畫家,高中時愛上塗鴉,經常半夜出門非法噴漆,家裡曾經收過法院與社區的提告通知,讓媽媽鳳紅整日忐忑不安,天天為他誦經禮佛祈求平安。

殺死恐龍的爸爸

掙雄初為人父,對老大允中期望很高,從小對他管教很嚴厲。允中念小學時,拿了原本要買筆記本的十塊錢,買了當時正夯的玩具恐龍,回家後掙雄在允中面前,拿刀子將恐龍支解,因為他不該「挪用公款」。

這件事在鳳紅心中一直是個陰影,她相信殺死恐龍對允中幼小的心靈,造成不小的傷害。

在過去,夫妻兩人的教育方式天差地遠


賞識教育取代愛的小手

因為聽了一場賞識教育的演講,掙雄決定改變對孩子的教育方式 ,他收起處罰孩子的棍子,對個性衝動、凡事好奇的松廷採用引導的方式溝通,當松廷塗鴉惹事,且身上越來越多刺青時,採取忍受多於接受的策略;對於允中安於穩定的個性,也能換個角度欣賞他的特質。

愛的小手都被完整的保留著


當長子說他不婚

身為長子的允中因為拍照認識許多女模朋友,卻向爸媽表示不想結婚,平時配合度很高的允中竟敢挑戰男大當婚的傳統觀念,是因為小時候爸爸殺了他的恐龍嗎?

當塗鴉人成為藝術家

松廷在賞識教育下,天分與志趣得到發展,如今已是經常受邀展出畫作的塗鴉藝術家,掙雄認為當初若是嚴格管教松廷,他的天分極有可能被壓抑,不會成為今日的藝術家。

Introduction

If your child's behavior didn't meet your expectations, would you correct them or try to appreciate their qualities? Tsai Cheng-hsiung once ruled the roost with an iron-fisted approach to parenting; however, a fateful incident with a toy dinosaur and a serendipitous introduction to "appreciation parenting" changed him and his family forever, leading to contrasting paths for his sons, Sung-ting and Yun-chung; one a bold-as-brass graffiti artist who is financially independent, the other a reserved factory worker who gives his salary to his mom and takes a monthly allowance. In this episode, we meet Cheng-hsiung, his wife Feng-hung, and the brothers as they strive for family harmony by embracing differences. What tests has Cheng-hsiung faced on his journey of hands-off-style appreciation parenting? Why does the family find unity in the culinary realm? What role has faith played in the family’s trajectory? Let’s find out!
