It is amazing to find the sort of questions parents, or rather, mothers asked. You can find them on a certain parenting page on FB. Questions like, what should I apply on BB's head to make his hair grow, or has anyone brought their child to IQ test assessment. Oh come on! Give yourselves and your children a break, mummies! Some BBs are born with a lot of hair but in the end, suffered from balding; some BBs are born with little or no hair but they might be the next hair shampoo model for all you care. And the most ridiculous is the IQ assessment. Unless needed for medical purposes, I don't see a need for an IQ assessment of your child just to know where he/she stands.
Of course, every parent wants the best for their children, no doubt about that. But then, so what if your child looks hideous in someone else's eye? To me, my child is the most beautiful creature in this world. No one can make her look ugly or pretty just because some stranger says so.
Right. I am just as guilty. I like to buy clothes for DD to make her look adorable. In a way, I admit that that satisfies a part of my inner desires, to look good and to spend money.
But I do agree that it is vital to recognize and draw out the potential in your child. So, that being said, DD's legs are extremely powerful, so taekwondo is definitely in the list. And she is also very vocal and "talkative", so speech and drama lessons are next. Oh, DD is only 6 and half months old.
