Thursday, October 05, 2006 Valuable Values
After reading my son's great description of his mom, I thought I'd better live up to it and blog more regularly!
So here's today's reflection: Why do parents expect their kid to have admirable values when their own life often does not exemplify the values they hope the kid will develop? ? ? Parents teach........ respect (for people and things) but they yell at the maid and read their kid's diary secretly, courtesy but they jump queue and scramble in the crowd at a SALE, honesty but they tell you to say they're not at home when their friend calls on the phone, compassion but they ignore the guy with special needs selling packets of tissue at the food center, sense of responsibility but they are busy at work and never home when you need a shoulder to cry on, self-discipline but they eat half a tub of ice-cream while watching the Korean serial, obedience but they go through the red traffic light and cross the road when it's the 'red man', gratefulness but they grumble and complain about work, people and food! So, if you're a parent, walk your talk..... YOUR KID IS WATCHING AND TAILING YOU !
