"Freedom to live and to think about life for its own sake is important and even essential to a child. Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned." -John Holt.

Is one of the greatest challenge of being a parent of our vision. This topic has been broached countless of times. We believe it has been and remains to be key in raising our children without shouting or corporal punishment.
I grew up believing that punishment is a must. I have to grow out of that and grow into believing that reasoning and understanding is a must. It is a constant challenge for me to even keep my temper down, my tone low and I actually have to think and device a plan to convince and reason with EnHui if a normal advice does not catch on.
Devising a strategy on conveying message to little children??? If I tell this to my grandpa, he would have looked at me and think that I am on medication. Ha ha ha. Times have change, aint it.
So when you get to read this, EnHui, is not easy being your parent. But then, I know I know, you did not ask of it also.
