One of the babies (let’s say, Baby A) wanted a toy far away from him and he wanted it so much that he had to cry to address his demand. With his eyes and pointing finger, I got the toy for him. Immediately, he stopped crying. Then there came another older child (let’s say, Baby B), took away the toy and ran to the other room. As expected, the Baby A started crying again and I went to get the toy back, but by the time I got the toy, the mom already shown up and the baby was back with a big smiley face.
Toy is actually not the issue, and Mom’s love is the key of turning the situation.
Toy to a baby is like the money/possession to a grownup. We might be easily depressed by the budget cut, the bear markets, the jobless, or the financial crisis, and the faith in policy and/or faith in God can reinforce the grownups remain calm and peaceful.
How much faith do we have? How much do we trust our governments? How well the stimulus package will be reinforced in this crisis?
Though the grown-ups are way more complicated than babies at brain activity level – we are way harder to be pleased comparing with the babies - the faith reinforcement from the trustworthy level of Paddling and Love is definitely helpful during the time when the toy or possession is taken away.
