Teach your child to have a compassionate heart

- makes your child more aware of the world around them and encourages tolerance
- use real life stories to touch their hearts and to discuss with them issues in the society

- news article dated in Zaobao 21 Jul 2010 has an interview with Wu Qing, youngest daughter of modern chinese literature writer Bing Xin
- her mother taught her to have compassionate heart by letting go the bird she captured using a simple story

- Bing Xin asked her youngest daughter 'Wu Qing', "It's dark now, and what would you like to do if you're outside?" and she replied, "I'd like to go home."
- "Then who would you like to see when you reach home?"
- "I'd like to see my mother."
- "It's late now and the little bird would also like to go home to see its mother. Let it free, my dear."
- and she did with the understanding of her wrongdoing instead of 'obeying orders' without understanding why
- the incident in the abovementioned article can also be found in my 34th week pregnancy journal
