Thanks a lot for the sharing and I think this will be helpful for those parents who need to practice.
About the HSP. I do believe in right brain training, I know that, we we enter to certain wave length, we will be able to read others' mind or predict, but if you are not believing in this, then you will look at the percentage of possibility I think. Anyway, do you practice this with your child?

thanks a lot for your compliments, soclassica. Working in this early childhood enrichment field really broaden my mind on how the parents are in these days. Enrichment classes are much different from preschool, I just wondering why the parents are not expected from preschool but from enrichment class. Sometimes I feel like should I comment on the parents since I am not? Should I share with them on what you should do? I feel so sorry if I had offended some of the parents here.

21st Century education, The Heart Method. As we move toward the twenty first century, what kind of education that really suit our new generation? What kind of education should be considered for our children? The answer is neither left-brain nor right- brain oriented education; it should be the Education of Heart!
Used to have a phase, “You are just the mirror of your parent”. What does it mean? Nowadays, parents used to control, control their children’s behavior, interests, time, ability etc. They just wanted their children to be like them no matter their children love it or not. They molded them into someone they want but not the children. What would you think if you are the child himself?
What actually we do in Education of Heart? Let’s try to imagine that you are lifting up a handkerchief, you have various way of doing it, like from the edge, from the centre or just grab it. The children’s abilities are just like this handkerchief, some of them can be very excel in all aspects but some do not. As a parent, we should not just look down on these children but to develop their weakness into strength and enhance their abilities.
“Not academic orientated but individuality orientated” is another spec that we do in Education of Heart. As parents, we should teach the children not to judge others by their academic ability, and to teach them to value the individuality each person possesses. We should teach our children to treasure each of their friends, to love and accept each others. Grades are just important and judged by the school, but humanities are judged by human who is with heart.
Last but not the least, parents’ expectation. This is a no-no situation in Education of Heart. The parents seemed to be in the state of denial whereby they unable to accept the children for who they are. In our Education of Heart, we should not only teaching them but also learning from them.
In my conclusion, let’s start learning of being a parent. We will be able to change the world by just adding in our love to the learning and playing with your children.
