我的大喊大叫的一天 My Big Shouting Day!

Sometimes we are just having a grumpy day,
nothing seems to go our way
little things annoy us
and we have trouble controlling our words and anger.

Such behaviours tend to trigger us parents,
but it's helpful to know that we have some days like that too.

This story illustrates a mama who responds with love and patience
holding space
and sharing her calm.

I particularly love the message that
a bad day is not forever,
a better day is round the corner!

故事的主人公贝拉度过了“大喊大叫的一天”，就像有朵小乌云跟着她，挥之不去。她心情糟糕极了，用“大喊大叫”的方式撒泼耍赖。细细看来，这些让她不爽的都是“小事”——成人往往会禁不住说“干嘛那么在乎呢”“没事的”“你应该……”。而这正是成人容易陷入指责与说教误区的地方。

让我们来看看贝拉妈妈是怎么做的吧——她始终没有触及贝拉发脾气的理由。当贝拉不满弟弟，与朋友发生争执时，她没有说教；当贝拉因为饼干碎掉、饭太热、洗澡水太凉大喊大叫时，她没有简单安慰。她始终保持着隐忍与克制，是一位懂孩子的妈妈。

夜晚来临，贝拉大喊大叫的一天结束了。情绪平静后，此刻的贝拉*需要什么呢？——是一个温暖的拥抱，是一句宽慰的话语。那是妈妈的爱，贝拉知道，无论怎样，妈妈都是爱着自己的。
