| Article Title :: I Am But A Child |
| |
| When I was growing up as a child in school, in the days of corporal punishment, I can remember attending a catholic school run by a nun principal. The name of the school which I attended up to fourth grade was called “Our Lady Queen of the World”. I can remember with clarity, during a gym class being taught by a “brother” as we called them then, being struck on the back of the head with what I believe was the knuckles of his clenched fist, knocking me unconscious, all because I was marching out of step. All I felt was a sudden “ringing” in my head as I passed out. I was only 10 years old!I can also remember that one of my eldest sisters, two years my senior, having been (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why Is Tuition Not Helping Your Children In Their Studies? |
| |
| Since I started working in the educational industry, I got many opportunities to talk to parents and to know about the various concerns parents have for their children in term of schools and education.It is no surprise that many parents today (especially in Singapore) engage tutors to give their children tuition. In fact, I know of many children having private tuition for many years. And there are parents spending $200 to $400 each month just on tuition for their children.That's a lot of money, isn't it? It is no surprise that the private tuition industry in Singapore is a million dollar business every year.Having said that, many parents whom I have spoken to, very (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Parents Are You Worried About What Your Kids Are Looking At On the Internet? |
| |
| The advent of the Internet, in some respects, made the job of parenting a little harder. We want our children to experience the vast wealth of knowledge available on the Internet and communicate with their friends online (frees up the telephone). Unfortunately, it also potential exposes our children to inappropriate material, obscene pop-up ads, and even sexual predators. In fact, research indicates that 1 in 5 children aged 10 to 17 have received a sexual solicitation over the Internet. This is definitely not something any parent wants to hear, but is forced to face.We need a little assurance that when our children access the web, they can do so safely.

Do you have favorite teachers to whom you want to express appreciation? Here are some ideas:Give a card with a poem or message that expresses what you want to sayIt’s hard for most people to say out loud what they feel for other people. A card, however, has universal acceptance and approval, even if what it says would be uncomfortable to say face to face. You can buy a card, but the messages on many cards are so general that they may not fit your situation. Best of all would be to make your own card w (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Traditional Parenting Techniques Linked to Brain Stress |
| |
| Until recently, traditional parenting techniques such as consequences, points and rewards, and spanking have been used by parents throughout the world as effective measures of correction for behaviors deemed socially inappropriate. In fact, schools continue to use all of these, including spanking, as a measure to deter problem behaviors in children. New findings from the field of neuroscience are demonstrating that such measures may in fact be detrimental to healthy brain development in children and may even be one of the major causes of the over-prescription of medication.What Science RevealsThe amygdala is an almondshaped cluster of nerve fibers which is located at (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Direct Communication or How to End Whining Forever! |
| |
| Whining. They all do it. It’s not so much what they’re saying as the creepy little tone of voice that gets under your skin and makes you want to stab yourself in the neck with a pencil. Or maybe that’s just me.
It’s a horrible habit to get into and it can seem like an impossible habit to break your child of, but let me tell you the really scary thing: You, yes you, are actually the person who taught your child to whine – and you are the one who will be able to make it stop.
Whining is one of the ways that our children use to manipulate us into getting their own way. Yes, I said “manipulate.” A lot of people don’t like it when I say that, but our little buggers are b (read full article) |
