Asian Parenting

Not to be sound derogatry but new parents who rather follow what their ancestors do rather than doing read up are often repeat the same tradition in parenting next generation.

There might be no harm on it as our parents had successfully brought us up. But like how technology and science have done in life improvement. It is worth to consider a change or modification based on western style in caring the children.

Asian: TO EAT WHILE ITS HOT, MUST BE SPOONFEED and ALLOWED TO WALK AROUND DURING MEAL

My verdict: Warm food is ok, but hot food will injure my toddler's mouth and throat and the tendency to develop cancer is there (touch wood). And focusing on the essence of having to swallow food in short time, to ensure the food is hot...will risk her to get choked. 

As toddler is reaching 18 months, she could actually hold spoon and sometimes with fork. To encourage her feed herself as early as possible is good as she will be independent and enjoy her meal when dine out.

Running around while having meal is even unacceptable--first, it will disrupt the digestion process, secondly manners!!

Asian: Toddler will eventually sleep on her own after long hours of cry. There's no necessity to establish sleep routine for her.

My verdict: She is my precious daughter, having her cry that long instead of putting an effort to encourage her to sleep is considered as " Lazy" method. Luckily, for months of establishing routine for toddler has enable her to sleep 14 hours per day at fixed time.

Asian: One child can be loved, more than that the elder siblings have to be beaten (In case of being naughty).

My verdict: No plan of having more than one child. If I were to have more than that, it wouldn't be right to punish the elder child who is equally require attention and love from parents. As an elder sister to many siblings, it always annoyed me to be my mom's servant and as most neglected human beings. I won't allow the same scenario to happen to my daughter.

Asian: Walk out like a thief whenever I leave to work. 

My Verdict: such measure will only intensify morning drama as toddler will be afraid that mom suddenly missing. I prefer to inform her about my leaving and of course return..and with a sweet kiss and hug.

CICA-Care and Hiruscar gel.

Image
The Cica care, do not really know how to pronounce it, cost me about RM113.50 for the size of 3cm x 12cm. That size can actually be cut into half, to fully cover my raised 12-year-old reddish keloid car. Pardon me for the ugly creature...which most of the time will scare children away, and make adults have second look of the gigantic 'paramesium'. The silicon and sticky strip can actually last about 2-4 weeks, so mathematically for 2 months, I only spend RM100++ for my treatment, which is a lot cheaper than doing laser/removal surgery. This is how it adheres to my skin, I really don't have to worry it will fall out as I do my work, or even during exercise...(except swimming). Occasionally, I will have strong urge to scratch my itchy patched keloid during sleeping time, because of what the Cica care is doing-depressing the scar. After about two weeks usage, the edge (the sides where I use to remove) becomes like above, is an indicator that it

Review on Qdees school.

Image
This post is merely on personal view of the Qdees kindergarten which I enroll my daughter in this year. The principal has recently posted in parents-teacher Whatsapp group that the franchise has been awarded SME Brand Excellence Award in Best Global Franchise Model 2016 by SME Malaysia. Well,the excellence award obviously meant for business specifically the people who want to make money from early learning institutions...the information does not really relay the significance for parents whose main concern is their children's well-being at the school.  Back to my parenting point of view, the reason I chose the school is I believe with certain standards to comply, I hope that my daughter will be taken good care of while I go to work. In short, no abuse. Image grabbed from Qdees website I paid over thousand include the monthly RM450 during registration in Dec 2016. The payment also include two (ugly) grey color uniform (with not-so-good)cloth quality, a set of

Groupon-Tomoko Hair Salon.

Tomoko Hair Lot 112, Ground Floor, Megalong Shopping Mall, Jalan Taipakkung Donggongon, Penampang, , 89500, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 1 Visit Professional Cut+L'Oreal Hair Treatment+Wash +Blow+Personal Image Consultancy Service. Voucher "so called" valued for RM135 which I paid for RM18. ************************************************* Today I paid a visit to the saloon at Megamall. As I had made the reservation earlier, I was quite surprised when they asked what I would like to do with my hair. And I was asked for three times as if they don't even know the sevices they featured in Groupon. The saloon was quite small and crowded, but I believe that shouldn't be the reason they are slacking in their service. While I was sitting and waiting for my turn to have those services, a man turned out of blue that I should cut my hair like ****, I couldn't recall what he was trying to tell me cos he was just talking without me getting ready to his comments.
