A child grows up learning from mistakes and sometimes these mistakes are unintentional or ignorantly done. Other times, it may just be instigated by another party. And when such a situation occurs, then the ‘scolding’ seems undeserved. No one likes to be scolded. No one likes to intentionally make a mistake as well. Very often it is due to a lack of understanding in the situation.
