I can’t forget the moment when my children(I have 2 boys), after making a small mistake, frowned and showed a hint of defiance for the first time. To me, it felt like a kind of mental first step — a moment of growth for both of us.
Later, when my child grew older and looked back at this “M I S T A K E” series, they said they still remembered that moment too. What stayed with them most, they said, was the look on my face — different from my usual expression.
