Teaching your Children 'who they are' could be a bit problematic.....

that was so funny! thank you for sharing that. but i also understand how you'll face difficulty trying to explain that to the parish priest who may not have found it funny at the time. slices of interactions with kids are really a breather in the adult world. they keep the adults in their toes as to what, when and how things should be told to them. kids are getting smarter and smarter everyday and one must always be armed with explanations to tell a kid if or whenever the child is firing some questions. i always have fun with my 12 nephews and nieces. at one point or another i have babysat for all of them. perhaps the hardest to explain when they were kids was the concept of money and why there should be a budget and why they couldn't just buy anything they wanted. the younger kids thought that money will just come out from the atm and that pizza is bought by just calling the pizza delivery on the phone and have it delivered. another question my sister encountered from her kids was when she was asked by my nephew why, in the catholic church, jesus was always in the crucifix and the kids would ask "doesn't he ever get tired of always being up there? or doesn't he ever get cold coz he doesn't have clothes on?" and stuff like that.

Well, this one is the funniest incidents I have ever come across...I really loved it and I laughed a lot after reading it...That little girl seems quite intelligent,witty and smart............. I have come across a funny incident which I face when I was in school and I was 7 to 8 years old....One of our teacher asked one of the student that what is her father do??? But She end up saying "What is your father??" And the little girl end up saying" Madam,my father is a man who has nothing to do except bugging my mother and this is what my mother said always." We all are too young to understand what was going on that time

Ok, teaching kids are some times really complicated. Her father had god inention, but it went wrong anyway.And she only said what her father had said and little more and it confused the poor priest..It is really funny. But I guess her father ended in a really shamefull sits, trying to convince the priest about the truth. I just can imagine that. Hopefully the priest got it and understood how things really was. I have a true story about my sister when I was still living at home, my mum and dad had a cow, they milked her by hand. My sister two years old always was with my parents when the milked the cow. Now, one day, I say my sister with a large bike with out a support so the bike could not stand up. But she struggled with this bike for a very long time and I (I was 15 at the time) watched her. And suddenly out of the blue I could hear her scream to this bike like this ----now you stand still you darn cow, becouse I am going to milk you. Those words was not hers, It was actually my fathers...imagine him in the barn and milking a cow that do not stand stil the conclusion is - BE WARE WITH WHAT YOU SAY TO THE KIDS

It is indeed a nice discussion.It is really a complicated thing,to teach children "who they are" or "from where they come from".They often get confused by this sort of a questions...Thanks for sharing this incidents with us.... I can still remember,what my father had taught me when I was a kid....He taught me that I will have to tell my name first and then later introduce my self if somebody ask me the qusetion "who are you?"So,this one is my own experience...

lol that was funny, the child was totally confused on how to reply. lol but then it usually happens, my 4 year old daughter knows how to answer..hehe she would just state, i am jazel. lol and thatt's just it hahah funny one my friend.

It is not misleading. It was really funny. It has been a long time I left this website. I accidentally came here... How do we make smileys in the post? Any ways, I have a one year old baby and I hope he doesn't turn out to like that kid of yours...my husband is not a smooth guy.

Well, one of the funniest incidents I have come across ebook, it seems you all will have to be a lot more careful with this little girl, she seems quite witty and smart. Regarding my son, no we had no problems as such…while we were preparing for his admission to school, we taught him his name, his parents name and address…so he has his basics right!

oh my gosh... this is really sooo funny... . i have three kids and i have never experienced something like this or even close to this... lol... i just taught my kids their name, and their mommy's and daddy's name.

This discussion shows that all are differing in each case,Quite confusing for child.My kid is only 2 years.so i have no such experience.I think what her father tried to teach is good.
