Last 2 weeks, me n husband pergi parenting seminar.
Its about how to deal with our children through their childhood.
One of the speaker keep highlighting the importance of play for the children.
And she doesn't agree that parents keep highlight the academic needs since young.
As for me, I do agree, our children need to play. Its their time to play.
And I always belief that we learn much more through play.
Yup its good for their EQ. Yes, EQ is very important..but we can't neglect the IQ part..
Somehow, they support each other in many ways.
For me, those with good EQ but low on IQ can survive if they on their own only
and those with good IQ but low on EQ can also survive but MORE STRUGGLE
but those with good EQ and good IQ can benefit others even the community so much more..
Its really difficult to explain or get my thought out on this particular things..
Its just something that you need to experience
Its undeniable that PLAY are for children but we must consider other aspect as well.
In the developed country, this concept is applicable. But for our country, which is a developing country where the citizens still struggling to earn a cents, where its still using the old-style education system, only Play will not work.
one thing we must remember, among children pun ada semangat kompetitif, ada perasaan ingin diterima di kalangan rakan-rakan sebaya.
In Malaysia, darjah 1 dah perlu membaca dan kenal nombor..so, secara x langsung, parents akan target untuk perkara tu.
Just imagine, bila kita terapkan main sahaja...no exposure to alphabets and numbers, masuk sekolah, when they see that their friends already know numbers and alphabets even reading and to calculate, how would they feel about themselves? belum hadap budak2 yg jenis mengejek lagi...all these does effect their EQ during that time...So?
For me, the concept betul tp kita kena sesuaikan dengan environment kita..
contoh mcm kids in the war country, kita dah saksikan, budak 5-6 tahun dah pandai pegang all kind of guns..with the tactical move and byk lagi...kita nk kata mereka salah ke? parents mereka salah ke?
So, sesuaikanlah..
Sekarang kita banyak pilihan, tadika yang terapkan belajar dalam bermain pn dah banyak...
tak memaksa mereka untuk tahu semua, tp at least kita dah exposed them to things that required in our system..
Masing2 ada cara sendiri dalam mentafsir dan mengaplikasikan..x minta terima my way of thinking because everyone have their own pertimbangan dalam membuat keputusan n I respect that because I know niat semua sama, nk beri yang terbaik..
Oklah, hope bermanfaat..nk bla dah..office nk tutup.
