I like kids.... to the extend that I can be considered as a pedophile.
They are so cute and still not corrupted.
When you think of children, it always linked to innocence.
They are still very young, and you'll think they might still be ignorant.
However, that is not a good enough reason to let them go with everything they have done...
I'm not talking about eating up all the cookies then getting sick or crying to convince you in getting a new toy for them in public.
In my opinion, the worst thing that children can do (without knowing what they are really doing) is ganging up against one of them.
I know this bunch of kids. They are still young now, ranging from 4 to 7 years old.
10 years down the road, they probably will not be able to remember what they did so long ago.
But there will be scars.
It happened to me before when I was really young.
Actually I don't even remember it till I have seen it re-enact before me.
This ganging up, because I know, I see it as bullying.
There will always be a leader. One who will tell others to ignore the presence of the bullied.
One who will say nasty comments and intentionally hurt the other party.
The only positive thing about is that you will be able to identify a potential bully in the future and stop it before it becomes too bad and go overboard.
There will also be followers, those who listen to the 'leader' and copy their actions.
This is a kid’s problem that happens very often.
We as adults cannot interfere with this problems. Even if we did the children will not understand.
The bully will not realize that bullying is a bad thing.
If we scold them for doing that, their hate towards to bullied will increase even more.
If we defend the bullied, you'll be treated as their enemy.
Even if we isolate them, it can’t be a long term solution.
The leader is usually the oldest and followers the younger ones.
The followers will not realize that they are following to do a bad thing; they are just doing what was taught to them by their older example.
Just that it is not very good one.
But if that happens through a long enough period, they will start thinking of their own ways of bullying without orders from the leader.
And the bullied, will not even realized they are being bullied.
As children, it is a torture to be excluded.
They just want to play and be inside the small circle they know.
(I am talking about normal kids under normal circumstances)
While these kids are still growing, we can only do our best to educate them to differentiate what is right, what is wrong.
And pray that they grow up to be sensitive to others and have a good personality and character.
God bless all the future generations.
It is very important for parents to spend quality time with their children when they are still young.
Because this is the time where you can teach them through the easiest way.
Parents can teach the right attitude through life.
Young children learn by observing, then copying, and finally turning it into their own actions.
Parents are an important example for their children, it is their easiest source to start learning.
Don't underestimate the learning power of the children.
They notices the smallest little things.
If you want your children to help others, show them a real life example of literally helping others.
Pick up stuff for passer-by if they drop something,
queue up properly,
give your seat to the elderly in the public transport.
This is something to be cultivated in the very early stages of life.
And I am really disgusted by what the media is doing to the kid's mind.
ok.. I know that happy tree friend and south park are cute.
but you don't let your children be glued to the TV all the time watching these genre of shows, or even the adult shows, soap operas, bloody and violent scenes...
unless you want your kid with a twisted personality or have a dark sense of humor,
I got nothing to say...
