hey peepz… Am back!! Well there are too many things to note down but i don’t know where to start… Hmmm.. was coming back home in MRT while listening to my mp3 player after so long(yst).. Came across this teenage student.. Not sure whether from a secondary school or special school.. Was observing her.. Hmm.. she seemed to be a special kid… should be in her early teens.. Since i was standing against the glass railings.. beside the door.. she actually came to the door i was at and smiling at me..(wierdly i meant) i didn’t know how to react.. but i just smiled at her back and continued to observe her.. she was doing unusual stuffs she was not suppose to do..I felt a little unusual and uncomfortable.. as she was a gal.. but then something strike me about working with special children and helping them… its about time i need to do something hands on!
And yeah… while sharing about the short incident in the previous para.. i realise i have to share something about the camp i attended recently.. Well i can’t tell about it as it is confidential.. but have got to know alot of things from there.. during adolescence… support from family is very important.. having both parents working and all, it makes these days kids think that there is no one is to care or spend time with them, and so it leads to them joining the bad influences.. These days, kids start smoking[its just an eg.) in the age as young as 9 years old.. hmm these starts because of peer pressure.. well in one of my case study.. it is such... *not being able to be in the group if i don't do what they ask me to do* *no sense of belonging* are the reasons..these students should make their own decisions.. they are old enough to know whether its right or wrong?? they should be able to fight for themselves..having 1 good friend is much more better then having many bad friends..its abt time parents should also spend more time with their children no matter how busy their schedule is... they should also share things with each other and build confidence in their children and also give the sense of protection cum belonging from the parents.. encountered another problem during the study i had.. it seems the most common problem btwn an adolescent and the parents is communication breakdown.. first is lack of communication between them whereas the other one is misunderstanding... a small scenario.. a gal feels that her mum does not want to spend time with her.. and vice versa and so communication breakdown occurs.. but actually they both want to spend time with each other.... In my case study.. I've got the chance to have a conversation with both the parents and students.. and this is what i conclude.. i could feel love they have in them.. i could feel the care and concern they have in them.. but the problem is not potraying it...in both the side..
Some personal suggestions from my side to build a rapport between the family members..[ doing it together as a FAMILY]
>>having bed time talks before sleeping (sharing daily happenings between the parents and the children)
>>having meals together
>>making it a point whereby every weekend doing some activities together like shopping, sports etc etc..
>>going to the library together
>>catching a movie together..
Easier to say.. Hard to do it.. Well in this current situation.. People are getting busy each day with career.. Even studies are getting tougher.. But then i strongly encourage that some time should be spared for family.. :) now i know the importance of a family and so in future, i know what to do if i have a family on my own.. :)
Things can be avoided if efforts are taken.. So pls ppl.. spare sometime with FAMILY…
