In parenthood, its not just about being loving and keeping the little human alive. To me, I learnt a new lesson on balancing life choices - whether it's time to play or time to study.
Our Asian society has been pushing for good grades for centuries, and we can't deny the demand for kids to graduate with good grades because it always offers better opportunities to earn more money and have a better life.
But is this really that true? Since I was a little girl, my parents understand that traveling actually teaches me more things than just reading from a book, I have skipped school, I have missed lessons to see the world. I still did well and top my class when I was Sec 1.
So when it comes to having my own child, all I want for them is to have an enjoyable childhood just like me.
It suddenly feels so terrifying to know kids nowadays have to go through education even at young age of 5 years old. Having to see him bring homework home from school, the need to learn Chinese words and how to recognise them makes me feels sympathetic that the pressure of having good grades are already knocking at the door. I know my boys are special in their very own ways. They are smart and funny, and they have a great sense of humor which we make sure they also learn how to laugh at themselves occasionally even when they fail or fall and knowing that getting back up would be easy.
Having good Grades are unavoidable a system to follow but finding their true character, and fostering their greatness within is definitely brings more joy and meaning. I see how he enjoys dancing to music, role play with his brother and enjoys conversation with anyone he meets. I see so much potential in him other than his grades in school. How do you #feedtheirgreatness, and explore the true potential of what they are good at? Share with me!
Meanwhile here's a good read http://tiny.cc/12uvdz on grades getting in the way of the kids greatness. You won't regret reading it. I put it on my bio link now so you can have a good read too!
