Dear Taichung Happiers,

Life is short; understanding takes longer. How will parenting help to complete our lives and understanding? Our host Joey has been doing an internship of taking excellent care of his baby cousin, and he delivered such a topic--he humbly claimed it is still so deep to him--10 Things You Should Never Say to Your Kids.

What do you think of cultivating children’s positive thinking? How to help them build commitments and positive attitudes? Should we ask kids to listen to the mustn’ts?

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN’TS
by Shel Silverstein

Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child,
Listen to the DON’TS
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON’TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen to me --
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

Irish writer and poet Oscar Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) spoke for children: “The best way to make children good is to make them happy.” And German diarist and writer Anne Frank (12 June 1929 – early March 1945) clarified how people’s characters are shaped. “Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.” So, what can make children happy and also help them create their own world? The children’s book illustrator Crockett Johnson (October 20, 1906–July 11, 1975) delivered a definitive answer: The Purple Crayon. His book Harold and the Purple Crayon prompts not only children but also adults to invite their creativity back again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBaB2a-yobA

American basketball coach John Robert Wooden (October 14, 1910 – June 4, 2010) awakened people with words of wisdom--“Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating...too often fathers neglect it because they get so caught up in making a living they forget to make a life.” However, I saw the trailer of a French drama film The Finishers (can’t wait to have this film in Taiwan) and wondered if I can say this son and his father are each other’s role models. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FWW8VvAUh8

Oh, yes, yes, yes. Father’s Day is coming. What else can you say to your Dad but “Thank you”? Oh, yes, and say “I love you, Dad”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOQQg2UoB7I Daddy, Daddy, I love you. Yes, yes, I do!





Best Wishes,
Jasmine
