nurturing minds

was reading an ex-classmate's blog this morning while having breakfast.. she's a mother of one and was talking abt letting her boy explore his world without restrictions...

she speaks my sentiments.. i felt that my parents are typical of parents of their time.. upbringing, manners, being prim and proper is important.. and parents of then (or at least my parents) puts in more effort in bringing home the bread than to cultivate children well, usually they'll juz leave the job to schools.. but mayb that's coz my parents were not highly educated.. my dad graduated from sec sch and my mum pri.. so i guess it's different mentality altogether bah

last yr there was tis blog entry that Mr. Brown did talking abt him bringing his family out for a meal at a local coffeeshop and it was pouring.. if i rem correctly his kid is sligtly autistic and the boy was looking at the rain... and he made his way to the edge of the shelter and stuck his arms out to feel the droplets on his little hand... the 1st instinct of parents would be to to get the child back into shelter and tell him off.. but realistically speaking, there's no harm in the boy getting a feel of the rain ya? anyway that's wad the blogger did, he stopped his wife from grabbing the boy back to his seat.
