Does type of housing really matters?

MMM:

They will ask \"How many children do you have?\" So she said that's the real wealth.

Actually nowadays I don't even dare to ask that question. I know quite a few colleagues who are over 40 and still single.

Sometimes really don't know what to talk about, then just talk about the weather lor.

That's right :lol:
I stick to weather too

I will go for the "live and let live" attitude because everyone has different lifestyle based on their financial means.


I only need to educate my child that she is not short of anything. This attitude can also be seen in her because regardless of where she lives, her sweetest home is where daddy and mummy is, the physical place has no attraction for her.

If children only can engage talks on material things and nothing else, it is the parents’ duty to widen their horizon, not the kids’ fault too.

it's a good attitude but unfortunately, in very young children like 7 years old, their brain cannot conceptualise something so complex and intangible....they are hard-wired at that age to focus on what they can see and touch....hence \"home\" is the physical house, not actually \"daddy + mummy\".

Daddy is just daddy and mummy is just mummy LOL

Oh actually I am speaking from personal experience.
I had to move with the family a few times physically to different buildings and every move I was worried about my child not able to adjust. Then I realised that she was not one bit affected by the external things, for as long as she was with dad and mum, that was her home. She ever verbalised it as well. The size of the house varied so widely and at one point, we were living in an expensive service apt on prime land which was close to the size of a hotel room. She was so happy just to have the family together, the \"room\" never bothered her one bit, maybe bothered us more.. :lol: Her age group falls under the category that you mention. So I believe children can be taught to understand what counts and what does not.

then your child is just special lor....maybe more matured than others? It's a scientific finding i quoted, not applicable to anamolies LOL we should not expect every 7 year old to be able to understand that.

I actually don't think so that she is special, or maybe you mean she is slow to understand the materialistic world, that perhaps is true. Another way to say it is perhaps she is actually still living in sweet innocent world?

Everything to her, she sees the value not in the niceness of the item but why and who gives it to her counts. I remember she can receive very simple pieces of paper(just paper) from her friends and be happy the whole day long and keep them in her bag for a long time. Is that innocent or matured? :?

Correct me if I am wrong. Comparing to a house, I thought a 7 YO will understand the love of dad and mum better since they can feel it since birth? Plus daddy and mummy can touch leh...

not necessary, cos some kids take their parents' love for granted....
