母親節的感動
一直小孩子都被比喻為一張白紙,
但今日我收看中文電視台為母親節準備的一個特備節目時, 一位嘉賓佢話, 小孩子應比喻為一張擦擦咭. 我覺得很有共鳴. 因為如果父母看孩子為白紙, 就會努力地為這張白紙去填滿他們認為漂亮的色彩. 但相反, 如果視孩子為擦擦咭, 父母就會盡力去發掘這張咭背後的潛能. 讓孩子去發揮他們潛在的能力, 那豈不是更加美妙.

同意。不過要幫助子女發掘他們的潛能並不是一朝一夕的事情。當中實在需要無比的耐性和恆心,而同時間也要預備會有成功及失敗的時刻。一方面要讓他們在一個健康的方向上自由發展,但同時間卻要壓止作為父母的在控制孩子上的意慾,實在困難。究竟什麼是真的對他們好,什麼只不過是為人父母的個人期望,也需要辨認清楚。而相信為人父母之所以困難莫過於此。

I tend to agree with what Ah Ca said. I am the father of two daughters who have already finished their high school education. I believe that a parent's role is to find out children's potential, to assist them to reach their potential, and to help them achieve their goals in life. I always adhere to this policy. Parents are often tempted to impose on children their own un-accomplished goal or dream (e.g. to pick some profession that they themsleves failed to get when they were young), thinking that children are their continuation biologically. But the reality is that children have their own personality, often even their taste for food is differnt from their partents.

其實我係有啲感同身受啫....一直我都被看成一張白紙,感染了太多別人的色彩了,所以欠缺個人的風采.

I guess even bad parenting has its use. And it's not always bad to the children if the child realize what is good for them. I think rather than thinking that you are a blank paper, think that you are a selectively absorbing paper. Choose yourself what to absorb. then, no matter how your parents' parenting skills are, you could still stand out and be yourself.
