Only you in my love novel Chapter 582

After leaving the airport, Nina and her children watched Henry's family take off.

Then, Nina took a mask from her bag and put it on. With the mask covering her nose and mouth and her sunglasses covering her eyes, she was fully incognito.

"Mom, why are you wearing a mask? I want to wear one, too," Don said, tugging on his mother's arm.

Nina hailed a taxi and answered, "Because we have to take a cab now."

A few moments later, a taxi stopped steadily in front of them. Van stepped forward and reached out to open the door. He was small and did not have the strength of an adult, so he had to wrap both his hands on the cab door handle and pull hard. After two tries, he was finally able to pop the door open.

Nina did not reach out and help. She just stood by and watched. When Van used both his hands to open the cab door, she raised her eyebrows and smiled gently.

"The door is open, Mom." Like a little gentleman, Van stood aside and ushered his mother and brother into the back seat of the taxi.

Don climbed into the cab and asked Nina in confusion, "Why do you have to wear a mask in a cab?"

"I'll let your father answer that." After replying, Nina reached out and rubbed Van's little head. "Go on in, dear. Sit next to your brother."

Van obediently climbed into the cab after his brother, and then Nina followed suit. She addressed the driver after making sure the door was completely closed and locked.

"Sir, to J Entertainment Company, please."

"Okay. Sit properly, kids." Easing the cab into traffic, the taxi driver reminded kindly, "And don't poke your heads out of the window, okay? You know what, I'll just lock the windows to be safe."

"Thank you, sir." Nina expressed her gratitude.

After making sure that the windows had indeed been locked, Nina put her arm around Van's shoulders and stroked his hair.

"You did a good job earlier, dear," Nina said gently. "Earlier, when you found that you couldn't open the door with just one hand, you opened it with two hands. It means that you can think and solve problems on your own. It's very nice work, Van.

And you didn't give up right away. I saw both effort and perseverance in your eyes. Before, you only knew the meaning of insistence, but today, you have learned to do it. Congratulations, my son."

Van's amber eyes lit up. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. As color bloomed in his cheeks, he replied shyly, "Thanks, Mom."

While Nina planted a soft kiss on Van's forehead, Don was looking out the window with both hands braced on the glass, his eyes full of joy and curiosity about everything that he saw.

The taxi driver heard Nina praise her son and looked at her through the rearview mirror.

"This is the first time I've heard a parent praise her child like that. I also have a son. He's in fifth grade. I have never praised him. His mother sometimes praises him and says things like 'great job' and 'awesome,' but she's never praised him like you just did."

Nina used to have a cold personality, but ever since Michelle and John became her friends, she slowly learned to warm up. Now that she had two sons, she had become more amiable.

As long as people talked to her politely and did not deliberately make trouble, she would respond in a friendly manner.

"Thank you. My sons are four years old, and they're in the early stage of learning things. Encouraging them to take the initiative and explore will teach them to be active, and that will lay the foundation for them to grow into responsible and creative individuals."

"Wow. You know so much about parenting." The driver thought of his son and became interested. "Can you teach me how to praise my son then? I want to learn how to properly do it. I don't want to just tell him 'good job' forever."

Nina smiled, "Well, you should praise your son by telling him what he did right in full detail, not in general. Telling him 'good job' without explaining how he did a good job will teach him nothing. Let him know what he did right so that he can keep doing it. That way, he will be able to build positive and healthy habits and grow into a well-adjusted and responsible person. He will learn the value of doing things right and apply it to his life."

"That makes sense." The driver found Nina's explanation very reasonable. He could not wait to learn more. "Anything else?"

Nina thought for a while and replied, "In addition to praising them for their hard work in detail instead of in general, you should also praise the truth above everything else. For example, if you call your son a good child, you're only complimenting his personality. It's like putting a label on him, which can put him under psychological pressure, and that is not good for the cultivation of a complete personality..."

And so, Nina shared a lot of useful information about children's mental development with the driver the entire trip. The taxi driver also told her how he got along with his son.

The two of them chatted happily.
