Kac 4th Gear October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 My thoughts are: Kids usually take after their parents, learning following mimicking their behavior so I am not surprised the boy's parents reacted in similar fashion. There is a saying - not all that needs help wants to be helped. For such, best to leave them alone but does not mean we should stop helping those who welcome help.

Typhoonz 4th Gear October 3, 2014 Share October 3, 2014 I wondered if there are any parents who have encountered this before and how they would react. Some years back, my daughter was in the library (children session), saw this young boy about 7-8years old sitting awkwardly along the corridor between two shelves of books. My daughter approach him and told him, Kok kok (big brother) why don't you sit on the chair there, more comfortable and your back will not hurt? The boy turned and looked at daughter and shouted "you are crazy, get lost and don't disturb me". I was shocked for the boy's aggression. I pulled my daughter aside and told her that her good intention may not always be appreciate by people. I then brought my daughter to the boy and explain to the boy in a calm and friendly tone because I thought it was just some miscommunication like we adults have. To my horror, the boy gave a "dare look" and made this angry face at me. At this point, his parents came and I explain. The parents told me, your daughter is wrong and should mind her own business. Up to today, I am still lost as to whether should I really teach my daughter to mind her own business and don't bother about caring for others. I was also surprised by the parents reaction. I not sure if my daughter thought that I was a coward that I did not challenge them and "protect" her since she did nothing wrong. In way it is true, because we had already taught her that if she did nothing wrong there is nothing to be afraid off. Confused. Anybody any suggestion or have you encountered something like this before or what would you have done on the hindsight? Thank you. You are right and that kid and his parents are wrong... You have taught your daughter well... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must do the "Commando Special Forces counter-terrorist plains clothes". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD3Y0EJtub0 Dan the parents will be so scared they will quickly take their kid away and run for their lives. In Sgp it doesn't pays to be kind and good. You got to be fierce or act crazy, dan ppl will be scared and run away. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
