Four-year-old Chrissy ran through the front door，slamming(砰地关上)it so forcefully that the pictures fell off the wall.“I hate Tammy！”she cried. Then Chrissy threw herself onto the sofa in a storm of sobs. Her mom，Diane，looked up from the bills she was going to pay.Resisting the impulse to scold(责骂)Chrissy for slamming the door，she asked quietly，“Whats the matter with you，Chrissy？” Chrissy said sadly，“Tammy took my ball! Tammy is bigger than me.It isnt fair for her to take away my ball.” “It must be pretty frustrating to be picked on by a big girl，”Diane said.“Yeah.Im mad，”the little girl said firmly.“I dont want to play with her anymore.”She sat quietly for a moment，watching as Diane put stamps on envelopes. After a while，Chrissy said，“Mom，can I go to play out in the backyard？”Diane gave her daughter a hug.Chrissy left，seeming to forget her anger. By simply reflecting back her daughters underlying feelings，Diane allowed Chrissy the opportunity to explore what was going on for her，and in the process，Chrissy discovered a solution to her own problem.Some other time，Diane might be able to talk with Chrissy about avoiding future problems and perhaps ask her what she could do to express her anger instead of slamming the door.
