That's basically my whole Sunday in a nutshell. Brought 5 girls out ranging from 7-14 years old. Spending the whole Sunday with them was my very first time. I thought that since yesterday was a public holiday, I will bring the kiddos out for play time.
Kids. Towards the end of the day, I realized there's not much difference between the kids & me when I was their age.
1) I always "fight" to take the passenger seat beside the driver
2) At the back seat of the car, my sister & I laugh & giggle over the smallest thing
3) When I am at the passenger seat, I would always look at how my dad play with the clutch, brake, accelerator & hand gear
4) I would be very elated if I am given the money to decide on what I want to eat & how I want to spend the money
5) Being the elder one, bullying my younger sister is something deemed okay
6) Being an adult & hearing a kid complain the worst about her teacher (& knowing how much the teacher has helped her), we will probably think it's rude. However, I think when I was their age, I complain ceaselessly too.
Hey, if we stop & think for awhile, actually, it's not that difficult to put ourselves in the tiny shoes of the kids & find the most appropriate response to them! After all, what do kids really know? They know only when they are educated properly by the adults.
