MOMI LAUGHS & CRIES/ second son’s defining moments

October 13, 2016 · 18 Comments

I always believe that a person’s character is engraved within. Through his actions and choice of words, one can demonstrate his character. It answers the what, how and why he did it. And at a tender age of four, I know that my second son had already built a character very distinct from his peers and even from his siblings. His actions and decisions are what form the very basis of his individuality. I call these defining moments.

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right path, the the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.

MOMI SHARES/ 4 advantages of picture book to child’s development

It was past midnight already and my little one-year-old handed to me his book. He wanted us to read. And that meant to read aloud each word and identify one by one the pictures in his book. We did that for about 45 minutes to one hour. Then he asked for milk and slept.

My boy just loves to read. He would murmur as I say each word from his book. He loves looking at the illustrations and spends time pointing at each image repeatedly. Those pictures could really interest him. Perhaps images really do attract even the most reluctant reader. And they are as important as the text, I may say.
