All About Teaching Values
-
I’ve heard from my son’s school mate about this tuition centre in the West where foul language is used generously, not only by the students but by the tutors themselves. It’s disappointing that even the educators themselves are not setting good examples. I say, try to keep your kids in good company, get to know their friends, invite them over for meals etc. You know the works. That way, you get to see for yourselves and advice your kids on who he ought to stay away from.

I am not a parent. But I think infancy is the best time to shape the babies behaviour and character, you have to carry the baby through that sort of situation in which he/she can learn the value of honesty and other good valuable lessons.

It’s an excellent piece indeed, insider! I feel ashamed, myself, when I think about my own mother giving us, her 7 children, the best of whatever is available. As a child, I have always thought that was what parents are supposed to do.
Now, as I parent, I understood that my mother has not always liked to eat the leftovers, the stale rice, or go hungry just to ensure that her precious children do not suffer. And each time when I finish up whatever my own children cannot finish, I would remember my mother.
While the article seems to be saying that we should need to look after our own needs too, I think there are not many Asian parents who can actually do that, because of the way we have been brought up by our own parents. -

This morning we were at the HDB Hub car park. While walking towards the lift, a car suddenly cut infront of us just to get to a lot , almost knock us down(they were anti direction according to the road sign).
After they got off their car with their 2 kids (going for Shichida Method), they pretended that nothing had happened.
What is the point of training their kids brains when they don’t even have the basic courtesy themselv"
Yup I agreed with Chuan chuan. I think sometimes we ourselves are rude and inconsiderate. We forgot that we are supposed to be role models ourselves and with kids seeing us, I just couldn’t imagine what we are teaching them…Bad examples. No wonder our kids nowadays most of them are behaving like us adults…need to do soul-searching sigh… -

I practise method 2. But dh isn't quite agreeable. Why 妈妈和孩子抢东西吃?我另一位朋友母亲的做法，则恰恰与王婆婆是南辕北辙，家里一切好吃、好用的，都是由他们做父母、长辈的先享用，才再轮到小孩，所以至今他们做孩子的虽都已为人父母，甚至有做了阿公阿妈的，但当一得到什么好东西，还是会「习惯性」地先去「进贡」给父母。

Hello, just to share, my daughter told me (a few weeks ago) that a classmate was sent out of the class because she kept interrupting the teacher with irritating remarks. When the teacher told the girl that it was rude to keep interrupting, and to allow him to finish his instruction first, the girl told the teacher off that he could choose to ignore her.
When I heard this I was shocked, you mean, these days, students \"talk back\" at their teachers like this? I wouldn't know how to react if I'm the teacher.
I tell my girls if they ever talk back at their teachers, they will get it from me!! haha, tyrant mother

:yikes: How ah? It's your sis leh... did you try to tell her what you think? Is she your younger sis or older sis?Teaching of values is the job of parents. But some parents are so focused on academic results of their children, they forget about other non- academic but extremely important values their children are lacking. My sister is one such example. My niece is in an elite sch, but when we go to her house, she would not even come out of her room to greet me, not a word of 'Hello, aunty'. During Chinese New yr, not a greeting, not a word of thanks after collecting angpow. And my sister did not even correct this. No basic manners, no respect for elders...
When I visited her sch's open house, I was also very disappointed to see that the students there are very aloof and unhelpful, maybe it's the sch's fault too.
