Woah! I just can't believe I couldn't get off my attention from my blog, looks like writing here regularly would be an addition to my New Year's Resolution...
So now let's stop beating around the bushes. I've been thinking about this thing for some time, what if I become a parent someday? How will I bring up my child? I'm sure it would be one heck of a job to do, looking at myself right now I could ask myself, how did my parents brought up a monster like me? Hahaha.. Anyways, here are some of the things I would do:
If I will be a parent someday...
- ... I would be a good role model for my children. Kids tend to follow what the older people do, so you adults out there, be careful of the things you do, you don't want your children to end up following every single wrong thing you do, better think twice. But if we ever commit a mistake in front of them, we should not forget to tell them not to follow it. Children just don't buy "Hey darling don't do this and that," as we all know children are full of questions, and they need answers, satisfying answers, so explain why they shouldn't do that, expose them to the consequences. Lastly and most importantly, teach them how to correct that mistake. Remember, pencils come with erasers so that one can correct the errors one might make along the way.
- ... I would expose my children to different things while they are young. Exposing your children to different things and activities allows to them know more about the world they are living in. Aside from the enjoyment, learning is a plus they can get. What catches their interest will make them crave for more, children are curious, aren't they. Interest grows into love. And I am talking about GOOD THINGS here okay, don't get me wrong. We all know that children don't stay children forever, they grow old just like us. This would be a perfect foundation for your children's future, for college, that's what I mean. When the time comes that they will be choosing the course they want to take, they won't be having a hard time picking plus you wouldn't be worrying about them shifting to another course since the interest and love for the certain discipline is already there. Isn't that good to hear?
- ... I would let my children love reading, whether it is a magazine, a book, a newspaper or a magazine, but not an adult magazine okay? I think you already know what things you can get from reading. Yes, a lot of things. Not only do you enjoy, but also you learn. It's a great leisure activity for your children, a perfect substitute to playing and watching TV. By the time they get to college, a lot of reading is done, trust me, reading wouldn't be new to them by then and it wouldn't be a burden for them but a fun activity. Don't you know that successful people read?
