        not surprising


        probably learnt from the father 上樑不正下樑歪

        why ? at that age, it must be close family members who do that and the kid picked it up. among family members who would do that except the father ?

        if it were someone else, the father would have educated the kid already

        I posted at the Nanyang Kindy thread - a father did just that - saluting me with his middle finger with his kid in the car after picking up his kid from the kindy but he is unreasonably blocking the road refusing to move to let me pass to get to my house - and he saluted me with his middle finger.
        wat? hard to imagine Nanyang kindy so reputable also hv such brute as parents!!! Sometimes I wonder when adults behave this way, hv they ever
        ever thought such brute behaviour will rub off on their kids - do they really wanna bring up a next generation of brutes too? Haiz...

        🙏

        I totally agree w the Chinese saying 上樑不正下樑歪!

          when I was in p3 or 4, I said the 'F' word out of the blue during a small family gathering without knowing what the 'F-word' is all about...thought it was cool and very adult.... :oops:

              Oh dear.... That's VERY BAD. I was also :!: when I read this


              Did his mother see him pointing middle finger at you all?

              Don't know what will he do or say in the future..
              i dont think the mother saw it. the boy was walking behind her (although she was holding his hand).

              I am sure the boy does not know the meaning behind the action. but as parent we should try our best not just to educate them academically but also the childrens' social well being. I know it easy said than done... as there are alot of influence from home, school and friends etc. but if parent dont educate them on this aspect who will??? (gov or school ???)they are after all your own kids... [/quote]

                u know I m totally totally w u on this!
                These days many kids are seriously lacking discipline, respect for others, basic manners... Not all kids to be fair but many of them.
                I feel that we can leave the academics to the school but when it comes to social & moral well-being, that's where parents MUST step in!

                  Actually I also face parents who are nasty even when they’re with their kids. They forgot that kids pick up fast and do not really understand who is right or wrong.


                  That’s why in Henry Park, I always receive notice from the school to remind parents to watch our behaviour when we pick them up from school. The notice would say "please remember that the children are watching our behaviour"

                  I guess parents also need reminders!

                    Definitely. Especially the way some parents treat the security guards, or how they behave when they're rushing to pick up the kids...
