Being a parent of today's generation is quite challenging. In this modern day and age of digital technology, parents are faced with several issues and challenges in raising their children. 

As parents to a 13-year old daughter and soon-to-be tween son, my husband and I are doing our best (I think)  to instill unto them positive values and prepare them for the future.  However, their exposure to cellphone and social media made our day-to-day relationship extra challenging. One of  the major turning points happened this weekend. It was heartbreaking... but with high hopes, our challenges will be addressed soon. I know, stress and disappointments isn't forever. 

Her cellphone was confiscated because of too much engagement to social media. We got worried that it may lead to more serious problem  in the future for we are seeing some danger signs already but instead to listening to us, she continued her excessive phone usage to the point that she's still online until wee hours of the morning. 

What's more heartbreaking is that, she tried to walk away from home after being scolded.  I hope that after our serious talks last Sunday, she realized that we are doing this for her on good. We reached into some agreements and trade-off like no phone until being responsible enough to own one, focus more on reading, thus start collecting books and build a mini-library. We also told her to focus on self-care in order to improve her self-esteem, mood and reduce anxiety. 

P.S.

To our dear darling daughter, ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS: We love you for who you are and we are always be your side, no matter what happens. Love you very, very much. Mag-bullet journal na lang tayo saka magbasa ng maraming libro.

As a parent, you probably worry about your child’s mental development, social skills, and moral growth in the formative years. While you may actively participate in your child’s education, unless the youth is home schooled, you cannot be fully aware of what is taught and what values the lessons hold. That is why many parents are turning to private schools to educate the burgeoning adolescence of today. Here are three of the top reasons for sending your child to a private school.

The specialize campuses such as those private schools in Redmond WA, often offer students a higher academic performance standard than public schools. Grade points are expected to be high, individual studies are emphasized, and there is often considerably more coursework in writing, math, and science. The schools can also provide a higher student to teacher ratio so that education can be encouraged.

With the ability to learn languages, music, and other types of arts can come the capability to discover a world of creativity and individuality. Studies have also suggested that participating in an art program can enhance academic performance in other areas of studies as well as build confidence and focus – all valuable real-life skills.

Most private schools have college preparatory programs which means they can concentrate a student’s instruction toward secondary education with goal-oriented curriculums and courses specifically focused on entering college. As a student takes higher education classes, he or she may also learn to participate in selecting courses following his or her chosen career path.

When you choose a private school for your child, you are also choosing an educational style he or she will use to develop the skills necessary to cope in the real world. Different schools offer different advantages such as location, elite students, and class size. The same schools may also offer important opportunities such as guaranteed admission into a desired college or business. That may be why choosing a private school is so important.

I miss blogging and growing ornamental plants in my mini garden.  I seldom update my blog. My plants get watered only once a week, some have grown bigger while others withered already (sad).
