Star in our child!

Look for the star in your child.

Some parent refer to their child as the ‘Apple’ of their eye, while one mother I came across affectionately thinks of her kids as the ‘STAR’ in the apple.

She explained, one day she cuts an apple horizontally across the middle instead of coring it and slicing it in wedges from the top to bottom, something new and striking appeared.

A perfect 5-points star was formed by the tiny seeds at the centre. The star had been there all along but she had never seen it because she always approached the apple from a different angle and points of view.

Most of us as parent look at the kids in a certain way. Usually see them, perhaps as lazy, irritating or demanding. But children are infinitely complex, and parent may be overlooking qualities of character that never be seen before.

However, do try to see each child through fresh eyes every now and then, parent may stumble onto a whole new wonderful dimension to the child personalities that escaped before.

So, let starts looking at our child in new different angle and views. There is promising discovery of hidden star light and bright in every boy and girl.
