Mother hen and her chicks

Like a mother hen who protects her brood I aim to give my kids the best guidance possible. In 2013 I am going to focus more on spiritual growth for the kids. Many a times we are caught up in pursuing academic excellence that we neglect the important of their spiritual development. I have talked about how I will be going about achieving my resolutions and goals in previous posts. I will be setting goals for the kids too for them to achieve.

With so many chaos in the world nowadays it is important to have GOD as your anchor so that you are able to battle any storms and tribulations which may come your way. I’m focusing on a closer walk with the LORD and am going to bring the kids along for the ride.

We will be going through the bible and also adjusting the way we pray together as a family. There will be more focus on GOD as the center of the family and our pillar of strength. I will be incorporating teaching of spirituality and moral values together with their existing academic progression schedule which I had mapped out for them.

I believe in a holistic development of a child and to provide support in all areas of their development so that they will grow up to become well balanced adults.

What are your plans for your kids this 2013?

This week the theme is on Commercial Jingles so I have chosen this one by Cold Storage to remind myself that I have the “Whole World in My Hands”

Turtle Power on a Monday

While on a road trip in Malaysia we brought the kids to visit the Turtle Reserve Sanctuary to see how turtles are being hatched and conserved.

The kids got a chance to learn first hand about the life cycle of a turtle and how it moves through from one stage to another.

The kids were amazed at how small the eggs were and that it could grew into a really gigantic turtle when fully grown.

Hatchlings swimming in a pool

The kids were also captivated by these newly hatched turtles which were swimming in a pool. For a small fee we could release them back into the wild and see them make their way from the beach to the sea. We decided to pass on the offer as we felt that the turtles had a better rate of survival if they stayed longer in the sanctuary.

This week the theme is the best song of the year for 2012. I found it fitting to showcase the kids favourite song- Gangnam Style.
