- came across this article in magazine:
- avoid blindly forcing him to excel only in one direction
- encourage your child to be the best he can be in his chosen field
- a wise parent opens a door to possibilities and allow their children to live the dream!
- good grades shouldn't be used to judge your child
- Darling and I were on the topic of educating our children in future again, and we both agreed that it's not wise to force our children to excel academically (eg. get full marks, or question the few marks deducted for tests / exams)
- rather, all-round education is better than sending our children for enrichment computer courses (signing up for wushu, sports, golf etc)
- personally, I'd encourage my children to excel in whatever they do, and if they only know 80% of the questions in exam, to me it's already full marks :)
- suppose he / she only scored 65%, I'd sit down with the child to go through those questions again, and after post-mortem, let him / her learn from mistakes
- setting goals / aims is good, but there'll never be true happiness if there's purely chasing after something, when you can't even enjoy being yourself, the present
