GTRAW: I am my brother's keeper
http://loveourchildrennow.blogspot.com/2013/01/i-am-my-brothers-keeper.html
I am my brother's keeper. I just read two articles on the Connecticut shooting. One talks about the relationship between video game companies and gun manufacturers. And another blamed the deaths on gun. Both video game companies and gun manufacturers, not surprisingly, had their defence. For video games, there have not been any convincing study on the link between video game violence and physical violence. (How nice for them). Why didn't we think of that? What this means for a larger issue, is that we ne...

GTRAW: This is my Father's world
http://loveourchildrennow.blogspot.com/2012/12/this-is-my-fathers-world.html
This is my Father's world. We went to South Island, New Zealand, our dream holiday destination. Let me share with you, my Father's world. Seal Colony, Kaikoura. Seal Colony, Kaikoura, from a higher vantage point. Enroute, from Kaikoura to Punakaiki, along Lewis Pass. We were to see many of such large mountainous plains in our travels. We saw these cute-looking trees enroute from Greymouth to Punaikaki. Pancake Rocks at Punaikaki! Then a mist of sea-rain. Up on Franz Josef, via a helicoptor ride. So tranq...

GTRAW: The village
http://loveourchildrennow.blogspot.com/2011/12/village.html
It takes a village to raise a child' is an African quote made popular by Hilary Clinton who wrote a book by that name. In her book, she said that it is up to all of us, as a culture, to ensure that our children are well-cared for. Strangely, it was another book, with a very different focus that confirmed that belief for me, although it came as quite a shock at first. In 'The Tipping point'. Malcolm Gladwell quoted from Judith Harris'. Argument and says that:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I have be...

He made it through the first round of Selection and will be attending the Selection Camp this coming Saturday. I have previously mentioned briefly. That Elkan is very bright.

GTRAW: Allowing my child to fail

Allowing my child to fail. From left to right : Members of Parliament Dr Intan Azura Mokhtar, Indranee Rajah,. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Sharon Tong, and Education Minister Heng Swee Keat. I managed to catch snippets of the recent Conversations with PM. When I first heard it, I thought - Wow - can any parent really do this? Then all his classmates will know the answer, and he would not! This is NOT the first time this happened, but it was the first time he asked for my help, which means that this t...

GTRAW: What I learnt from the NUS High DSA Selection Process
http://loveourchildrennow.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-i-learnt-from-nus-high-dsa.html
What I learnt from the NUS High DSA Selection Process. Note : This is not a technical post on the NUS High DSA selection process). The experience of going through DSA for NUS High. Showed me the following:-. 1) The child opens door(s) for the parent(s) to go into new world(s). Now that Elkan has made it past the first stage of the NUS High selection, I am a more legitimate member of the NUS High DSA thread. On KiasuParent (KSP) Forum. 2) Academic results is not the be-all and end-all. That Elkan is not a...

GTRAW: Howdy Cowboy! Happy birthday!
http://loveourchildrennow.blogspot.com/2012/08/howdy-cowboy-happy-birthday.html
I have been doing theme parties for many years for my three sons. This year, I asked Samuel what theme he wanted for his birthday party. He said "Horse". I explored having a party at the stables. But it was beyond our budget. I found a toy rental company Toys for Rent. Which has mechanical ponies for rent. After thinking through, I decided that doing a party incorporating a mechanical pony could be possible. One thing led to another, and in the end, we had a "Cowboy"-themed party. We did the party outdoo...
