Does type of housing really matters?

skunk:
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?
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.
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....

I have to agree with both of you to certain extend
To my DS, whether it is my former condo, current HDB and MIL’s HDB, all these are "home" to him.
when i asked him which one he liked best, he would choose both the former condo and the current HDB, because mommy & daddy are there. -
skunk:
Try la...I also want to learn something. Perhaps you can give me some examples to think about?

Just read tankee's post...same experience as me in that the innocence in children will choose \"just because daddy and mummy are there.\" -

tankee,
when i asked him which one he liked best, he would choose both the former condo and the current HDB, because mommy & daddy are there.
some time back i asked my ds1 which he like, current condo or future HDB and he said condo cos HDB have no security guardpost and what if Mas Selamat break into our HDB's house...

Ds1 prefers condo simply becos of the swimming pool. When I asked him if he wants to move to the condo opposite our block, he said \"no\" becos he wants to be with daddy and mummy

ks2me:
ok, maybe put it this way:
Try la...I also want to learn something. Perhaps you can give me some examples to think about?
if a 7 y.o girl, all her friends have a Barbie doll, but she has not. She goes and asks Daddy if she could have a Barbie doll. Daddy says it's a stupid bimbotic toy, no way.
A matured 7 y.o might understand it's a stupid bimbotic toy, but she won't have the ability to understand how it's possible for so many of her friends to be stupid and bimbotic because they all got Barbie dolls.
Similarly, if a 7 y.o is surrounded by people who live in condo, and she lives in HDB, and we try to explain that it's not the house, it's the people and the family that makes up a home....they won't be able to understand what's the difference between a house and a home, because all her friends would appear to have both a house and a home. At that age, the association between material objects and what it could represent, is very strong.
Heck, apparently for many people, they carry it until adulthood LOL....as in, someone with a Lexus, Rolex and Terrace House must be super rich lol -

So innocently sweet right? :celebrate: Based on skunk's definition, our kids are more matured.
