The use of 'You' in Sentences
-
Starting with a YOU will spark off confrontation.
Unless it is like ‘can you please xxx?’ Perhaps that lessens the tone. -
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You Better not pout,
I’m telling you why… -

We definitely did get to eat it.
The cheesecake sound good. So when do we get to eat it??Funz:
WE are going swimming now. We are taking a break from all the revision.
WE have done 4 sets of math (2 each for DD and DS) 2 sets of English compo (DS), 2 sets of Science (DD) and baked a Japanese Cheesecake (me )
A well deserved break for US. :razz:
Later WE will be doing more revision.
DD asked \"Mummy, can we bake another one for Saturday? This time we bake one with Yuzu flavour, to bring to grnma's?\" -

My son is a super slow motion boy so what your children did is unthinkable.
Btw, how did you motivate them to finish so many? -

4 hours of focussed work in one morning ?WE are going swimming now. We are taking a break from all the revision.

Please let me what motivational foods do you feed them ?
Better still tell us what you ate during your pregancy?
Maybe you should also tell what you and your DH ate since your childhood.
Just kidding, a lot depends on what they see in the environment around them. You must be a disciplined and non-naggy mom ( a rare species ) for them to model after. :salute:
Honestly with given my tempremental pigheaded work attitude , my children do a better job than their genes dictate. So I am not complaining.
5-6 hrs of effective work a day is something I dream of for DS. Maybe , one day.....

What about the use of ‘I’?
From observation, people’s use of ‘you’ is often associated with negative intentions like putting blame, being critical or worse, being commanding. However the use of ‘I’ speaks of positive intentions for oneself. Often, people with the ‘I’ mentality are self-important, self-seeking, self-righteous people. Put it simply, selfish. Hence, the word ‘We’ is encouraged. -

It is not quantity but quality that matters. Doing more does not necessary translate into learning more. The important thing is to work smart and grasp concepts correctly. My kids too, can do piles of worksheets, but I make sure they hand in quality work. Any ill-completed work done is as good as not doing and a good waste of time and resources. It's the attitude that matters.Funz:
