Action & Reaction

We all have heard of this phrase and there is also a scientific logic to it as well as spiritual karmic base to it.

But here is another perspective with respect to it.

When a child does something wrong & how a Mom reacts!!

1. The Child has already told Mom about his mistake - She says never mind we all make mistakes, glad you have figured out & learnt it. So kid was honest & aware of his mistake.
2. Someone tells Mom - So you make a mistake & not tell. And then outsiders telling me. Anger & Disappointment. Kid may be aware but did not share
3. Mom senses it & Child denies - Mom gets very mad. Child thinks not telling will be ok. But he postpones the problems that grows exponentially 

So it boils down to Awareness, Honesty & Intention of the child's behaviour before, during & after the mistake or incident.
