All we want in life is very simple.
Sunshine, air, water, love, nature and you being there.
A child doesn't need a million toys to be happy, you are not suppose to bring them to the Toy Store.
They are sastisfied with building their own toys nature provide for them to cater to their needs.
Take a walk in your park, you will realise the curious nature of our kids are not lacking.
What's suffocating are the parents, teachers and the education system;u stick to your one size fit all approach and take it for granted if the system has been working for all these years, it will continue to work.
Please bear in mind that every child is an unique individual, and do not attempt to manage your child like a robot, you aren't suppose to let the child programme to master every little thing in life. There's no end towards learning, our world class leaders in the country SM LKY has already proved us that. Your child might not master the linguistic skills you hope he could acquire, but at least you know he made an attempt.
Eventually, you will find the curious nature of the child will let him/her pick whatever that is of his character.
It's hard to treat the body that's the full of illness if the soul does not awake.
I think it's time I gave up on teaching, I can't save every child but at least I should attempt to write children literature's book.
