Applying My Free Plans

November 26th, 2009

Applying My Free Plans PhotoOnce, a friend of mine asked me about what my plan for 2010. I just remained silent since there is indeed nothing in my mind. What is my plan? Well, I don’t know for sure. Perhaps I am going to get married or have a brand new car or else. There are too many plans I have in my mind for next year.

At glance, I remember what my Dad used to say that when I have enough saving it is the best of all to get a house of my own. Yes! That’s it, a house! My plan is to get a home for me. I have no idea what my Dad tried to tell me but I take a conclusion that home is everything for life. Ok, I don’t have to waste my time because 2010 is just about a month away and I need to consider some home plans at the soonest.

A house just a few kilometers from the city gate is what I am planning to get. I know that the house is for sale form the notice on a small board stuck on the house door. The notice has been around three months but the house is still in the process of being sold. I wonder why the notice is still there.

The house is in medium size, and there are probably more than 5 rooms in the house I assume. The attic looks too small for a room so I guess there is no room upstairs. The garden is quite large but there is no border between the house garden and the neighbor’s, or perhaps they are still occupied by one family. I think it is a good idea to find out about these assumptions of mine directly from the house itself. Alright, I will arrange my time to have a visit there within this weekend.

The Power of “DON’T” to Kids

November 22nd, 2009

The Power of “DONT” to Kids Photo

I just realized the power of word “Don’t” to my kids. This simple word has influenced a great deal of my two kids’ characteristics. But don’t think that good characters have been created by this word; it is absolutely in the opposite.
My first son is almost 10 years old and now he is coming to the end of his last year in elementary school meanwhile the second daughter still studies at the fourth grade at the same school as his brother studies. They both grow up very well physically but there is something I don’t feel convenient about their attitudes.
My son looks so timid and does not like talk much within the family; he prefers keep his feeling and secrets. He is not quite open in expressing his idea and not as cheerful as other kids of his age. He also does not like to do things around the house or I could conclude that he is a lazy boy. His sister is quite different from him; she looks to be curious about everything and always gets upset when my wife or I say “don’t do this” or “don’t do that”. Those words are not only for her; her brother seems to have fed up with those words since his early age and this always makes him restricted and limited in doing thing. Everything is banned; perhaps it is what lies in his head that makes him lazy to do things.
Her sister apparently goes too much when we say “don’t”; she will do it! She will try to figure out why we say “don’t” to her until she finds out the reason or even the risk. Sometimes she will furtively do something behind us that we “don’t” allow her to do. Not few times has she got problems with her health and safety because we banned her to do things.
Wow, the word “don’t” is indeed a very strong thing that needs more consideration for parents to use it in facing their kids. It is not bad to use the word but our role as the parents takes us to be wiser in expressing it.
