A Piece of Her Mind...
A conversation I had with SL through email...
"Actually I am amazed with what Fun Gates System is doing to bring out the creativity in NN. She is now more imaginative in her play and in her vision of things. At this age I should say she is doing quite advance. I am not boasting about her abilities but I think the system is helping her.
No matter what system we put the kids under, there are bound to be pros and cons. It is the parents' judgment what the limit is for their own kids. Different kids can take different degree of extremity. For eg. Some need to be motivated and some are already self-motivated. Therefore, we need to gauge our own child. Frankly speaking, I think it is still the parents' responsibility to gauge their kids. The problem is the parents nowadays do not spend enough time with their kids to do a good gauge. Sad to say we even communicate less with the kids as we either do not think it is important or we simply do not have time to do it. I still find talking to NN a very important source of finding out her feelings and her opinions on things. Asking and probing her with questions and with her replies, I will know how she feels and how far her character has been built. Kids at this tender age do not know how to lie yet. By telling her the moral and principle of life, even at this age, she is able to understand the do's and don'ts.
Bottom line is the guidance the parents give to their kids ; The love they show to their kids ; The attention they pay to their kids ; The moral values they instill in their kids. Why do we have so much social / teenage problems nowadays??? Parents dump a lot of money for their kids to spend with their friends as they do not have time to do it with them and also they dump their kids' education to the teachers. It is sad but it is so so true."
