Appreciating Your Child!

One of the mummy of my son's Tick Tock Beat class lend me a book entitled is 欣赏你的孩子 by 张弘. The author himself has a deaf daughter since 1 year olds who turn out to be a genius down her life time. This book has enlightened me on various mistakes that I had made in communicating with my son. It emphasized on not belittling him but to highlighting his strong points. For example, if he has homework that have 10 questions and he did only one correctly, instead of start to get aggigated and soaring and blaming him for the rest of the wrong answers, I have to phrase him for the correct one !! Also, it had an example by a well-known Japanese Violionist on how he teached his son, 玲木. He quoted as saying that his son if can get thru passing mark is consider passed la !! No need to get 100 mark ! It reflected on me too. When I attended some course that required some sort of exam, I was happy even I just passed and will not want to sulk at the result. Instead of concentrating on school work, as long as his son finish his school work, he should use other time to read others non-school related book. This bring a great enjoyment to his son life-long learning experience.

I have only managed to read only a quarter of it and I am sleepless over it already. Today I got panda eyes!!!
