Happy feet- the story about a penguin who is not like the norm. The show touches my heart as my sons are like that. They have other talents but what they have in people's eyes are ridiculous. I must remind myself to be more supportive rather than condemning them so much. They will be able to shine and contribute in their own ways somehow. Who knows they might be so successful in future that someone might ask them who had helped in moulding them?? I love my sons and really I should support rather than criticise and hurting their tender feelings.
Every child is different and everyone is gifted. Went to Joe's Auntie's funeral wake and chit chat with the cousins. Do we dare to stand up and acknowledge that we have been fantastic parents?
Learning to be parents and I think having faith in your own offsprings and giving them love and self worth as individuals are the most important of all.
My sons may appear clumsy/lousy because I have been doing that - blacken their names and character. I am going to keep reminding myself I have happy feet sons :>

Hi Serene,
Hv you read Funtastic Parenting by Alan Yip? Find this fairly recent publication useful, positive and inspiring. You can get a copy at Popular. Every child is diff agree. Challenge is to focus on their strengths and encourage, not criticise. If we as mothers give up or label our own children, who is going to help them? Push on. Sow and we reap!
thks! Will push on and guess what? I went to have their eight character read and they are born to rebel. They will excel after 18 yrs old and they actually are really smart. Gonna believe that and continue the tough journey of helping them grow
