it's quite interesting listening to a group of old ppl talk about kids... how to raise them... abt the problems that they have with their kids... their perspectives give me a wider view abt being a parent, a sibling and a cousin...

the approaches range from plain old fashioned scoldings and punishments to reasoning and being a friend to the kid..

though opinions differ.. it was a good exchange of thots..

dont think i'll be aiding them with their preaching plans... but i might be able to help with being a friend to the kids..

sometimes kids just need ppl to talk to... to have someone listen to them.. someone to share their triumphs and worries..
