Right vs Wrong

Right vs Wrong

No compliment when doing right
No praise when doing right
No commendation when doing right
No thank you when doing right
Quietness when one does right
No one sees when doing right.

Nothing is right when in the wrong
Full of squabbles when being deemed wrong
Full of scolding when mistake is made
Full of nagging when being deemed wrong
Full of pointing fingers when mistake is made.

This happens in media
This happens in corporation
This happens in family.

Why?
Why?
Anybody, please tell me.

No wonder . . .
Family problems.

My mum was full of nagging because I wash my hair daily. An unforgettable memory during younger times when my mother chased me with a thin wooden rod for forgetting my studies. Uncooperative to be consistent when I discipline my child and she continually gives sweets to my toddler. I am looking for answers why she treats me so strictly though loving, but spoiling my son. Living with my dad who often scolded and butt-slapping, my siblings and I were fearful. But he seemed different when we reached teen-hood. Since young until adulthood, I received only three slaps from my dad. Very few discipline from my parents amongst my siblings. But I was deemed the weakest and the slowest among my siblings. Unexpectedly, I thank God for His strength upon me through my hard work that I received bachelor honours. Not much compliment. When I made a mistake, scolding occurred.

When I was going to attend parenting course, my parents deemed it unnecessary. As I was attending it, I came to realise my negative mindset and feelings came from one of my parents. I am trying to discipline my child when he is young now. But I also compliment him for doing what is right. Am I being too sensitive?

Playing Pointing Finger Game

To play pointing finger game
Baby turns out to point to things
To express his curiosity and
To express his needs, feelings, and wants.

To know himself and his
Surroundings, environments, objects better and also to
Point the location to go.

And to avoid frustration to

The best way to learn more of

When my baby was around eight months old, I played a pointing finger game with him. I grasped his hand and use his finger to point himself by singing his name, and then point to myself to identify, “mama” to him. He is so excited and chuckled. Now, my baby is nineteen months often getting near the buttons to touch it. So this reminded me of the consequence of sin mentioned in Numbers 5:30-31; 9:12-14; 18:21-23; 30:14-16; Ezekiel 16:57-59; 23:34-36,48-49; 44:9-13.Afterwards, he often points to the aircon to signal my parents to switch it on, and points to cats and dogs on the streets to know what is its names.

In the Old Testament and New Testament, there are lots of Scriptures mentioning sowing and reaping. So whatever is taught to a child, it will bear fruit in the child because all a child do is to observe and follow what is done before his eyes. This makes me realize the importance of my heart and performance as my child’s good example. And I have been pondering about it and pray to the Lord on high to seek His wisdom in guiding the precious child He blesses me with.
