i was reading wendy's blog about her 2 children taking 'o' level and 'psle' this yr.
yet, she has decided to travel with the hubby citing that the kids are supposed to be left independent in their work, after p4.
well, do i agree with her view? not fully.
in my opinion, my presence at home before the exams is not so much of pushing, nagging and sitting down with them like 陪读妈妈！it's more of moral support and for emergent standby role.
when kids knw that we are around, they will feel safe and peaceful. 安心can drive the kids to reach a great height. when they are hungry, i will prepare them a meal to warm their hearts. when they feel like releasing their stress through a badminton game or swim, i can be the one to accompany.
before long, they will grow up and fly independently. showering them with another few more yrs of attention and love (haha, not too much pampering, i hpe) will only help intensify the bond between us.
i swear that my 2 kids can share distinct memories of fun times that we had experienced while they were kids..... i am sure, their knowledge of us being the prime supporters of their growing yrs will make them feel loved.
only with love in their hearts would they be able to love others...a sermon that i heard of from church last sun. i totally agree with it.

Yes, I agree with you. It's either you take it to the extreme to train independence of your kids or you choose the middle path, which is to let them manage their studies but yet be around to help when necessary. Really, physical presence is very important, be it moral support or someone to lend a listening ear....
