Speaking exercise

Couple years ago, I didn’t spoil my daughter because I always worry about something what happened on her. I wanted her will be independent girl, so I always worried something would happen to her. I taught her and suggest her, even she was a kid in kindergarten. Now I thought I worry too much, I should give her a happy childhood. I try to change. Maybe in the future, I will spoil her.

two years ago, I tried to taught my daughter how to judge a man. I used some simple ways. Kids always have some bad habits. I taught her don’t do that again.
