Tweet

Aside from blog hop, another activity has been conducted by the BC Blogger, the Meme, where we have to share our views on a particular topic or title. You can also join the BC Blogger community and participate on our weekly activity. For this week, we are assigned to make a post entitled “Things That Make You Happy”. So here’s mine:

When we define the word happy it means delighted, pleased or glad on a particular thing. Thing? I guess it does not mean the “material thing” because happiness can also achieve from non-material stuffs. I know each of us have different ways and reasons to be happy. I am glad to share mine.

My family  - Mother, father, sister, cousins, nieces and nephews, in-laws, etc.

My friends or colleagues –  my second family.

Kitchen – This is where I have all my cooking adventures. I really love cooking.

Plants – another hobby of mine is gardening

Computer with internet, of course – with my blog, social networking sites I joined up to different forums I participated.
Cellphone - communication is very important

Work – I am happy to perform tasks in my work and finished them.

Salary – of course

Motorcycle – named "Jabee"

Our house, our home – we have to call it our own by the next 5 years.

Certificates  - College Diploma and PRC License 

My DIY crafts –  Recycled or not

Mornings – I was blessed to have another day to face life.

And of course last but definitely not the least:

My own family – Mommy and Matthew which really make my life complete. I am really happy to have my own family. I may not be the best husband and father to them but I know they are also happy to have me in their life.

There are others that are not mentioned in the list because a single entry is not enough.

Captured Moments: Carwash Boys

Carwash Boys

One Sunday afternoon, daddy decided to clean his car. Upon seeing the pail of water with rags to be used, Matthew rushed into it, gets his own rag, and starts cleaning the car too. He keeps on doing what daddy does. He will be angry if someone attempts to pull him away from what he is doing. Is this a form of “child labor”? (LOL). Can I start a business of carwash making Matthew as the manager?

What Type of Dad are You?

Tweet

It's Father's Day! I want to share what I read from Men’s Health Newsletter sent to my inbox entitled “What Type of Dad Are You?”.

As I go along, I realized that the article does not only apply to fathers but for both parents. There are three distinct styles of parenting according to the research conducted by Diane Baurmind. These are authoritarian, permissive and authoritative.

Authoritarian parents held their kid’s behavior in a secure and solid manner. This type of parents does not allow their kids asked about their decisions. Being parent of this type somewhat compared to a dictator that expect respect of their authority.

Permissive parents are the reciprocal of the first one. They don’t give limits and just wants to have their children happy and free. If you have this type of parents, you are like living in a lawless community.

Authoritative ones are those in the middle of the first two type of parenting styles. They will set firm limits but considerate to extend boundaries. They used to explain the reason of their decisions and let their kids argue.

According to study by Baumrind, these three types of parenting method made a great impact on the how children grow. Children grown in an authoritarian or permissive parents are somewhat less successful compared to their peers, more dependent and have lower self-confidence. Authoritarian parents might resulted into less happy kids, boys tends to be more aggressive. On the other hand, permissive-raised kids have less self-control attitude. Authoritarian parents might produce twice possibility of having heavy drinker kids while it triples with permissive parents.

Being authoritative parents is like a president of democracy. They doesn’t look themselves as perfect or godly, instead, they explains their decisions and open to arguments. They are more likely to produce children who grew up happy, confident, self-controlled and better with their peers.

This remind me that raising kids is like holding a bird with your hands: “Never hold them firmly or loosely. Holding the bird firmly can kill the bird while holding loosely might let the bird can escape and fly away.”

As father, you have the responsibility to set limits for your kids and how you are goign to implement such limits.

Happy Father’s day to all fathers.
