Getting Children to Eat With This Simple Technique

May 25, 2010 By Abel Cheng

Having children who don’t eat in the family is one of the many problems parents face today.

To top it off, some of these children only eat junk food like potato chips, sweets and candy, jelly, biscuits, chocolate, ice-cream, fries, etc.

When it comes to proper meals, they run for the hills. But when they are offered junk food, they are like bees to honey.

I am impressed, to say the least, the principal actually took time to organize such an event – out of her busy schedule.

A week ago, my wife, J, and I attended a special Mother’s Day function at K’s kindergarten.

I saw this event on TV last Thursday morning.

There were a few reasons made me want to go for it. Among others were:

  • I was amazed by the art pieces I saw. I wanted to see the real thing.
  • One of J’s strong interests is exactly painting. I wanted to expose her more to this.
  • I wanted to decorate my home with paintings as the walls now are plain and empty.
  • And the theme of the then showcase was nature – one of the things I love dearly.

Happy 7th Birthday

April 15, 2010 By Abel Cheng

My daughter, J, celebrated her 7th birthday on a moderate scale recently.

My wife and I vaguely suggested to our son to make a birthday card for his sister – thinking it could be an impossible dream.

But to our surprise, K took up the challenge right off the bat.
