Telling it like it is

The extended weekend holiday gave me more time to reflect and spend time with the kids. Today, I showed them a card trick that baffled them. (It was a simple one using sleight of hand). My eldest daughter was scratching her head as I guessed every card she picked from a pile. Right now, she’s busy helping her mom fix her PowerPoint presentation! (She’s literally turning into me?!)

Kids today learn fast. They’re like sponge. They absorb anything. They ask you a lot of questions (does this remind you of you when you were their age?). Teaching kids about life is not easy. However, showing them how things are done is the best way you can do as a parent. They do imitate you since they think what you do is perfect. (Although they won’t admit this). One thing I learned about kids is making learning fun. Baffle them. Make crazy stories. Let them loose and allow them to be creative. Make them laugh. They will love you back.
