MY HAPPY HOME

Summer is not only fun for my little girl. It is also the time for teaching her to be responsible with household chores that’s more challenging that what she already knew. For example, at this time, she has learned the art of folding clothes that are small — her undergarments, skirts, shorts, socks and some shirts. She has also learned the art of keeping a clean and comfortable bed, as well as cooking rice. At six, she gets to learn these things so that she can practice and gain confidence in doing them in the future. Although that isn’t her daily task, as I have limited her to keeping her toys and things in order, still, I am happy to see the interest so that sometimes, when she volunteers to do them, we do them side by side. Then of course, I inject lessons and some precautions, which I hope she will take to heart even more, as they can best be applied in everything else in life. Keeping the environment clean, and keeping a worry free mind, they go hand in hand. I guess in the future, I do not want my daughter to worry about finding cures, settling down, looking for K&N oxygen sensor, finding the best person to do what she can actually do, and many others.

A responsible adult starts from a well trained child who is open to the idea that  he or she need to know many things to live a better life. At least she doesn’t need to call on anyone to do things for her in the future. Or be someone else’s burden as she will grow older. Not that she will be a burden to me, but we all know that as parents, we will feel better knowing that our children will survive challenges and solve problems on their own, rather than they depend on other people to surpass them.

My aunt shared to us a really yummy dessert recipe. It’s nutritious and kids surely loved it. The flavors are milk and chocolate in one gelatin infused dessert made from real milk and chocolate. When cooled, it tastes better than ice cream actually..
