I have a friend with 2 daughters migrated to Australia some years ago. She's feeling pretty lonely (a son is staying with her) and now she's blaming our education system for "separating" her family apart. So sad...<br /><br />Hi Venie, when my kids were very young, they felt that "mom is so smart and know so much"... then when they grow older, they feel that "mom... something you don't know one lah...", and then when they're even older, they say "Aiya mom...you know nothing lah...". Got to be patient & wait until they become parents, then they will say "Now I know mom has gone through it and really knows quite a lot."<br /><br />Hi mr citiding, I've seen kids being spoilt with all types of expensive items and I constantly remind myself not to fall into the same trap. Money is like fertilizer, it's needed for the plant to grow healthily, but TOO MUCH FERTILIZER WILL KILL PLANTS! <br /><br />I am against kids enjoying branded stuff at an young age. I told my kids to "build a brand" for themselves (knowledge, attitude and personality). At the end of the day, we look up to someone not because of what branded items they're wearing, but how they carry themselves.YuinTinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953648909204847790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222496882908547776.post-34674661329755177382011-08-10T23:51:40.951-07:002011-08-10T23:51:40.951-07:00All parents should learn:
