sometimes i really wonder y i even bother to blog sometimes... haha when i really have nothing much to pen down... i mean i really dun wanna waste my time writing abt wat i ate for breakfast or how many times i had to go to the loo... but on the other hand... at least that kind of post is short and takes much less effort to generate... haha...
yes there are days when blogging simply becomes a chore... haha its understandable... after a long day... the last thing one needs is to have to sit in front of the comp and "relive" the day again... haha
anyway... i was just thinking abt stuff the other day... have u wondered how ur gonna bring your kid up next time? would u do wat ur parents did... or have u sworn never to be like them at all... i mean really... to some extent... parenting is a really tough act of balancing extremes... think of a simple case... in order to teach ur child responsibility... u could make it known that the outcome of a certain event would be solely determined by his/her reactions... and then when the outcome is back... sit back and allow ur child to go thru the process of learning from his mistakes... or u could tell ur kid the same thing but if anything bad happens... break the fall of the kid... depending on how one looks at it... both have their pros and cons... and the thing is... it really doesnt matter which one the parent chooses... simply because that parent would not know which technique would work for the kid...
the 2 most extremist points of view in child upbringing... in my opinion would be either to severely restict the child's actions and warn and punish if necessary shld the kid flout the rules... on the other hand... one could take a softer approach targeting the understanding of why certain things SHOULD or should not be done... some say the first method works... others prefer the second... but i fell... there is no overall better way to do things... it really all depends on the individual kid and the need of that kid... the character of that kid... parents have to be sharp and alert to watch out of signs such as tendencies to rebel against authority... or the extreme build up of angst... so what may or may not have worked for u when u were a kid... may or may not work for your own kid... and it is especially tough when one has multiple kids with conflicting behavioural patterns... haha...
so really... if one were to have a book on parenting... it would not be about which method to us... but rather... a package designed to train parents to identify intrinsic traits their kids were born with... and to handle their kids based on these properties... haha
on another note... i've realised something... i've been finding it increasingly more and more difficult to express myself these days.... i think i havent been reading and writing as much as i shld have... and i dun really have an clue wat's going on in the world today... haha... this is so sad... haha... oh well... i think the situation is not as dire as it sounds... haha... heck its time for me to watch badminton on tv... haha till i think of something better to write... bleah... (yes i tot wat i just worte was horrible...) hahahahhahahah
