RE: Is this behaviour of teacher acceptable?
I am sure each parent has their own ways of teaching their kids, no matter what method it is, all parents definitely wants to benefit their kids. Heart pain too when we scold them ourselves.

Really respectable...it takes alot of courage to admit to their children that their parenting behaviour is wrong and seek forgiveness from the children too...wow... impressed...i did apologise to my DD1 when I did something wrong and I know how hard it is...[/quote]Yes it is! -
RE: All About Working With Children Who Are Weak Academically

On the other hand, it would also be good to get your younger daughter to be as independent as possible, even though she knows that her older sister is willing to help. As they grow older, your older daughter might feel the responsibility and burden more and maybe begin to resent it a bit. As an older child, I have always rather resented the assumption that the older one must take more responsibility and 'look after' the younger one. I tended to get lumped with more chores or responsibilities simply because I was older, even when my brother was older than when I had started doing those chores (also maybe because I was the girl). In my case, it's my younger daughter who is the more able academically and socially, and I have never actually told her to 'look after' the older one, even though I see that she often does. I don't want her to grow up feeling that she needs to shoulder all that burden, and I don't want her sister to take the easy way out.[/quote]Yeap definitely. Actually in fact as younger DD is more outgoing, she is actually the one protecting the elder DD. Elder DD looks after younger dd in schoolwork whereas younger dd protects the elder one in personal. I definitely do not want them to resent it. Chores in the family are done by the maid, but each DD must do their own chores of keeping their room clean too, no laziness allowed as DH very particular about keeping good habits. DH and I are never bias as we know they can sense it, so we do our best to show that we are fair towards each of them and they have to bear the same consequence when they make the same mistake.
Looks like you have a very good DH IC, I will take note of the part on getting DD1 to take care of DD2... Thanks so much, HiholowJohnYeo:
[quote=\"Hiholow\"]Lol. I dont really know how to explain to you but at home my dh will always emphasis that the older must always look after the younger especially when they are sisters. DD naturally is a very soft hearted and caring girl, she always think of her younger sister.
DH and I also behave in a way whereby we will always help each other and when both dd asked, we will explain to them. -
RE: All About Teaching Values
Yeap. I used to always use the work okay in almost everything i say even when sometimes I am not listening. Younger dd picked it up and when i am talking to her, she is not listening and just saying okay. I realized my mistake and talked to DD and told her my behavior is rude and unacceptable and that i shouldnt be doing that and she shouldnt be learning. She changed after I stopped doing that and from then I then know that they really am are mini us, listening, observing and learning from what we do because we are the adults and they think we are the role models that they should learn from

Yes I admit we are. but putting it on an MV to me is a bit over rated. just an opinion
Not sure if you attend local school previously, but we were up to these kind of silly pranks when we were in school. Guess we were too young to kow the consequences.JohnYeo:
Oh my...it sounds horrible...i just hope he didnt learn this from any MV he had watched... -

Yes! Its so misleading!The problem is that the more we try to prevent them from watching, the more curious they will be.
Let them watch...most younger ones will not have a clue what is happening.
