This is a part of the portal where we will share with both parents and teachers some of the learning methodologies we use at camp, the rational behind the things we do, how to sustain the takebacks the participants will get from the camp and just as a place to share strategies, inspiration and sueccess stories….
Article : Model of the World
Contributed by : Ridhwan Yusoff, OE Trainer, AKLTG
Have you ever came across a situation when you couldn’t understand why your children did certain rash acts? Like for example why does he always forget to clear the rubbish? Or why does she wake up all night chatting on MSN? MSN? How many parents know this word? Just a sidetrack-i’ll explain why I brought this up in the first place later in this article. And have you ever came a cross a situation where you keep on thinking out loud : What was he thinking?
Yes that’s a good question. What was he or she thinking? It all depends on one thing. It’s called our model of the world. Yup that’s exactly the reason why some of us think durian is delicious while others hate it to the core. That’s the reason why some of us love Liverpool and others Man U. And that’s the key to unlocking your child’s obedience, diligence and ultimately genius.
Each of us have our own model of the world. That is we see the world in a certain way, This is on a primary stage influenced by the values we inculcate in our children since young. And as the years go by and the go out to the world, other forces will come to play an even bigger influence. Peer pressure. TV. Media. The internet. And what have you. The very things our children spend so much time with. And sometimes rather than banning these influences and elicit a negative attitude and a resentful state in our children, why not harness it to our advantage? After all, the internet served the US military so well before it came out commercially. After all, didnt we see how President Obama used TV and the Internet to win his election and make sketpics believe again ? Yes We Can.
Opt for CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN today. Start to understand our child’s model of the world. To recap, what’s MSN ? Microsoft Messenger the premier internet chat tool that even CEOs of big companies use effectively. Know what music they are listening to…Rhianna, Jonas Brothers, Click Five. Start to appreciate the games they are addicted to like DOTA and Maple Story. And from there, build a common ground that you can connect with, a strong rapport that would make your child want to do the things you say, and totally changes the way I look at my daddy and my mommy. I think they are cool because they are just like me. And with this at hand, you have the power to guide your child to the path of greatness truly that easily. Connect with them at their level and you will be amazed what such connectivity brings : a spectrum of broadband results!
