I always feel curious about how my 8 year old daughter thinks, her thinking patterns, her logic etc. So whenever I get a chance, I keep trying to find ways to know that. Below is the actual conversation that happened with my daughter. I wanted to write this in a conversational mode (my questions and her answers)
Q1: I asked my daughter, Imagine a scenario where you are a guy standing at a bus stop waiting to go for your job interview. You saw another person coming on a bike. Suddenly he lost his balance, fell down and got hurt badly. what would you do? Would you go for the job interview or save him.
A1: I would help the guy who is hurt instead of going for the job interview
Q2: I wanted to increase the toughness in decision making. I said, you have been waiting for your dream job for more than 7 years and its a sure shot which means that if you attend the interview, you will get your dream job. What would you do now?
A2: I would still go and help the guy who is hurt because life is more important than a job
Q3: I increased the difficulty further. I told that, YOU, who is waiting for the job interview, are from a very poor family. You have two siblings, mom and a dad to feed. They are waiting for your job so that they can have basic life necessities. Now what would you do?
A3: Now I will go for the job interview because feeding or giving life to 4 people is important than saving one. So definitely job interview
Q4: I Increased the difficulty further. I said, YOU, who is waiting for the job interview, are not from a poor family. Your family is not dependent on you for their food. But the guy who fell down from the bike is a really bad guy. You already know that he has hurt several people. You really wouldn't want to save him. Now what would you do?
A4: I would still go and save the guy who is hurt. As an example, if there is a bully trying to hurt other people, we need to save the person who is bullying and the person who is getting bullied. Because we don't know why the bully is behaving that way and what made him to bully other people. So I would still go and save the guy who is hurt
This answer just blew my mind. One surprised dad.
