Give your child a head start in life.

Every good parent aspires to be an ideal parent. How far we succeed depends upon what we can achieve with our children. In order to have our children become peaceful, happy, strong, well-developed successful individuals in life, we should think of how our children should be brought up. Knowledge of child psychology and child education is important. We must know of right actions and the consequences of inaction. We must have knowledge of some of the possible potholes in life. We must teach our children, through effective methods, the ways to overcome or avoid them. Then, we ought to think of ways and means as well as the materials available which can enable us to implement our ideas.

So, to succeed with our children,
a) We must have the knowledge of things, situations and events which can affect
our children.
b) We must have the knowledge necessary to prepare our children for their
formal education.
c) We must know what actions to take at certain times of our children’s lives.
d) We should know the consequences of lost opportunities due to inaction.
e) Think of the possible potholes in our children’s lives so that we may
prepare them for such potholes.
f) With the necessary knowledge and the materials available, we can think of
ways and means to give our children a head start in life.

In this blog, how the above can help children to have a head start in life will be revealed. There will be true success stories of some children. My wife and I have used them to help our own children, Jin Seng and Jin Ho, achieve very good results, both given the privilege of studying in the Pokok Sena Science School from form 1 to form 5 before studying in our local universities. Jin Seng is doing his first degree to be a veterinary doctor while Jin Ho is studying Mechanical Engineering. My nephew, Jin Hock, achieved excellent results with an unprecedented 13 A1s in his SPM in 2001. Last year, 2008, he successfully did his masters.

Any comment, knowledge or view which any visitor to this blog can contribute will be much appreciated. Let us share so that more children can be helped to achieve even greater success.
