I never knew how tough it was til Jude came along. Now I appreciate my parents more! :)<br /><br />Viola: WOW! 10 children! You are really blessed then, to have such loving parents and a so many brothers and sisters! :)<br /><br />Rachel: I think its harder in SG, where there's the push for the kids to be better, faster, smarter. Sometimes I do freak out seeing how competitive it is in school, and have to keep reminding myself!<br /><br />Lisa: I agree, the article might have been extreme... perhaps because it was written to promote her new book, and sensationalisation always sells. And yes, I agree that balance is important!<br /><br />Bingling: Thanks... yup, He's our yardstick!<br /><br />Evelyn: Thanks for dropping by and sharing! :)<br /><br />Jeanette: I really hope and pray so, because sometimes it seems so tough to be a good parent...Mum in the Makinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978846571220740500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-53335483089027183582011-01-24T18:55:08.454+08:002011-01-24T18:55:08.454+08:00J is going to grow up to be a man after God's ...J is going to grow up to be a man after God's heart.

Chua is an extreme example. And we all know extremes can be dangerous. "good for god" is a lovely thing. And I don't think God would agree with Chua. She's a product of her parents and her upbringing will most definitely shape her views on parenting.~Lisa~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01343794325205886423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-66135873293663048462011-01-21T15:24:36.978+08:002011-01-21T15:24:36.978+08:00A very meaningful post!

I have to suppress the KS mom mentality in me as well...esp when I get a little bit worried when the boy is oh so playful and distracted. <br /><br />Agree with you totally, nothing matters more than making sure our little one has a personal relationship with our Lord and Saviour..and give glory to Him for all.Rachelhttp://www.catch-fortywinks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072099236937422307.post-91483853559927713782011-01-21T12:12:16.768+08:002011-01-21T12:12:16.768+08:00Jus, this warmed my heart!!

(maybe not the yo-yo ma part, even though we are all a huge part into music!! :D) ... your little monkey is a privileged boy to have parents like his... nothing matters more than a personal relationship with our God...
