Exploring Our Children’s Potentials
“Thanks” to today’s gadgets, more and more kids tend to say, “I don’t know what I’m good at. I don’t know what I like. I’m not interested in anything actually.”
(But somehow they are interested in spending time with TikTok, IG reels, online games, TV, etc.)
The bigger concern I guess is,
– What do OUR kids do with their potentials?
– How are we encouraging them to explore?
– Do we try new things together with them?
– And when they actually DO something, do we respond with positive encouragements, or do we tend to give negative comments (though jokingly), which potentially deter them from experimenting further?
…
“Our potential is one thing. What we do with it is quite another.”

Brie experimented and made some bread yesterday.
“When all homework is done, I thought I try baking some bread”, she said.
Always nice to come home to homemade bread (and nice to see her experimenting)
