Parenting - Rotten Apples (2)

I was looking through all the notes from the earlier seminars I attended. I like to share you the following....

Children Learn What They Are Taught

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn;
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight;
If a child lives with redicule, he learns to be shy;
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty;
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient;
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence;
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate;
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice;
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith;
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself;
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship; he learns to find love in the world.

Parenting - Rotten Apples

Did the title catch your attention?

Attended a talk by Professor Yulduz, a parenting education expert and writer at Jing-Si Book and Cafe, Tropicana Mall last Sat....

As usual most of parents are there to look for tips/techniques to 'fix' their children so that they can excel in their study and how many of us as parents realized we are the one who need to be FIXED? (read on pls)

We can learn all 'solution' to handle the children learning challenges,  guidelines in education, prevent junior crimes, stop kids from getting addicted on internet and etc. The key factor still come back to us as a parents!!

Are we a good role model for our children? Do we help in cultivate them? Do we understand their needs and help in the personality development? When is last time you praise your children? Do you have enough time for your children? Or you have 'missing' in their growing process?

To contemplate - who allowed the children to get rotten? Children IQ and EQ are closely related to the parents. Dear mothers out there, do you aware the importance of your role as MOTHER?
