Still
remember this?
“Nanay
Tatay gusto kong tinapay. Ate Kuya gusto kong kape. Lahat ng gusto ko ay susundin
nyo…”
That’s
the generation before iPad, gadgets, candy crush, txt msg, etc.
I know
it’s just a song. A simple kid’s game.
But,
I’ll put deeper meaning into it.
Itong
kantang ito ay kanta ng mga spoiled brats.
Minsan
pa nga, may sarili ng pamilya pero naka-tira pa rin sa bahay ng parents nya.
We
spoil our kids.
Unfortunately,
there’s a drawback with this.
These
Children think life is easy because…”nandyan naman si Tatay e.”
Or
“Uutang na lang ako kay mommy.”
Do you
get the point?
Instead
of maturing early and fast these children are trying to take the easy way out.
Ang
resulta?
They
become irresponsible, immature, and lazy.
There
has to be a clear line between “loving our kids” vs. “spoiling our kids.”
Spoiling
them is like telling them “life is easy.”
Is life
easy? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
We know
that “Life is hard.” And preparing them in life is the best gift we can give to
our Children.
Like in
sports, if you train hard, the game will be easier.
And
that’s what we need to do. Prepare them in life.
And
that’s what many successful Chinese business people do.
Bata pa
anak nila, pinagbabantay na sa tindahan.
That’s
why many Chinese are good in business.
That’s
why six of the top ten Billionaire in the Philippines are Chinese.
Not
because they’re smarter than us.
But
because they’re trained early in life.
