Where in my post did i insinuate that?? I won't be one of those mothers who try to control their children's life by forcing them to marry. . finding them who to marry etc. It isn't a must and I will leave it up to them to make that decision when the time comes.

Praying:[/b]The Importance of having a special relationship w/ God w/ whom all things are Possible!! He prays w/ us,reads verses in the bible,praise & worship w/ us!


[b]Honesty : I tell him i dont care what you'd done,Tell the truth!! He'll break/do something & he'll still come up to me/dada to say what he'd done!!If i have to tell a white lie,i make sure he aint around to wonder "why is mummy saying i cant lie yet she does?"


Respect:[/b]Manners maketh man!! Need i say more!



[b]Learn How To Share: He does have times when he wont want to share his fav. toy but i let him understand he cant be selfish,he doesnt have a problem sharing food: I take him along to centres for disadvantage kids when i volunteer!I try to set a good example,make him get in touch with compassion . . .b/c y'll know kids try to aspire to our expectations!


Work harder & Play Hard: We talk about work,what we do, Sometimes he tags along w/ Dada to work!he knows for him to get all those nice shoes / clothes/toys, mummy & dada have to work really hard!!We let him hover,he trys to wash up,{makes a mess of it tho} he clips dada's nails,he gets allowance at the end of the week!!

*We let him know through hard & craft NOthing is Impossible! & try to Enjoy & Grasp every passing moment as a reward well-earned!! We show him how much we value family time together,we travel, we hang out playing Footie,Cinema,Bowling,doing fun things we enjoy as a family!


[b]Never Give Up:[/b]When he cant get that math homework right,we'll take a break & work on it some more! give him a sense of self-direction,i do what he wants to do sometimes,even if i dont want to!! He'll keep at it "PLease" . .that boy can cajole!!


~Its an on-ging process,as he gets older,i add more or emphasize on some of the above!

That reminds me of something I read about Obama

The man recently stopped smoking yet it's said his daughters have NEVER seen him smoke. Not once. Not 'omg I saw him by accident". Nada.

It's amusing.

Not necessarily.

All I am trying to teach my kid is that "fear is the key to bondage."
Whatever you fear, has power over you.

In whatever religion he/she decides to afilliate themselves with, they should never have fear in their hearts.
Love God, respect God whatever, but do not be afriad of him.



@ Okija,

Thanks dear.  wink

I see what you mean. But you know that most people correlate "good person" to "God fearing" hence the question

It doesnt mean "fearing" God in the sense you may think. It simply means reverence.
