Tra Ngoc recalled her childhood years when she was somewhat lonely because her parents were busy. However, she soon understood the circumstances and the reason why she had to be independent early. "My family used to be in a difficult situation. My parents have to work hard to help my brothers get to school fully. I understand that parents cannot be around is a trade-off for that attention, the actress shared.
Thanks to that sympathy, she appreciated more what she had received and became more deeply aware of the role of the family. "When I became a mother, I took advantage of the value of time with my children and understood the hardships of my parents in the past," Tra Ngoc added.
Talking about her 5-year-old daughter, Tra Ngoc could not hide her depression when recalling the memories of Vietnam Family Day. When the school organizes parties and games for students and their parents, she is busy with work so her husband only brings her children there. "When I arrived, I learned that only children with both parents were allowed to play, and my children had to sit in the cheering team. At that time, I loved my child very much, she said.
However, that incident also made the actress realize the common reality: The whole class only has children to play with, proving that not only me but many other parents are also busy with work. But after each time like that, I always set a goal to have complete play time with my child, so that he does not feel abandoned.
According to Tra Ngoc, spending time with children is not simply being around, but a true presence. She said that her daughter is very sensitive and since she was a child she had chosen to interact with her. "I always tell my child clearly about her mother's work schedule. If there is a change, I also promise to make up for it at another time. She has never cried when I went to work, just sad when the plan was delayed. But I am always mentally prepared in advance, said Tong Hao Nhiens wife.
For Tra Ngoc, transparency and honesty in communication with children are the key to helping them feel respected and understood.
