Why do you shout at me when I make a mistake?

"Daddy, you always say it's good to forgive," a little boy asked, looking up at his father one afternoon with curious eyes. They were snuggled up together on the couch, watching Daddy's favorite TV show - a live football match.

"That's right, son!" his father replied with a warm smile. "Forgiveness is a wonderful thing. It helps us to move forward with love and kindness."

The little boy thought for a moment, his face deep in concentration. "So, when I do something wrong, like spill tea on the carpet, why do you get angry and shout at me? Why don't you just forgive me?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity.

His father turned off the TV and gave his little boy his full attention. The tea-spilling incident on the carpet had happened just that morning, and his father wanted to address it without distractions.

 "Son, it's true, I do get angry when you make mistakes like spilling tea on the carpet. In that moment, I need to teach you what went wrong and help you learn not to do it again. In that moment, I need to guide you and help you become more responsible."

The little boy listened intently, his eyes locked on his father's face.

His father continued, "But after that, I do forgive you. I forgive you because I love you, and I know that you didn't mean to make a mistake. That's why you see me still talking and playing with you, even after you make mistakes."

The little boy nodded, a look of understanding on his face. "Yes, you do, Daddy!" he exclaimed. "I'm sorry for spilling the tea. I'll try to be more careful next time."

His father smiled, feeling proud of his little boy for apologizing and promising to do better. "I know you will, son," he said, pulling his little boy into a warm hug. "And I'll always be here to forgive you and help you learn from your mistakes. I am sorry too if I shouted too hard son."
