How many of you have a parenting plan?
I started mine 2007 after my son was born, which is aimed to include not only what I SHOULD do to raise him a superior man, but what I WILL do, how and when. The plan is far from being finished and the deadline is 2025 when he turns 18.
I am doing this because of my failure in the education of my daughter. She was a very clever girl with great potential (she could read Chinese newspapers at the age of 6, a gifted student at all schools, etc), but now she is just an ordinary 11 grader looking at an ordinary university in Ontario. I strongly believe she could have become an extraordinary girl and made a great achievement if I had set a goal for her and put enough endeavour. I don’t blame the schools and the education system. It’s all because of my omissions. The shame is on me.
The only thing that makes me feel better is I leaned something from my failure and I still have a chance with my little son -
· A happy, healthy child is good, but not enough.
· Anything can happen, good or bad, if you just sit back and watch. Children don’t know where they are going. They need guidance in their physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development.
· Set a higher goal, make an executable plan and, most importantly, do it.
· Your children may or may not become extraordinary, but they will be given a chance to use their talent to the most and end up closer to their potential.
Advices and comments are welcome. You are also welcome to join me if you share my points. "Two heads are better than one". We can work together to transform our boys and girls into superior men and women!
PS: Forgive my writing in English. It's not I am not good at Chinese, just I can express better in English when it comes to parenting.
