During worship service, if they have to say something important, it
has to be done in whispers, eg "may I go to the toilet", or "what
does this hymn mean". They are taught to respect the occasion (any
occasion) at a young age.
Even at home, they are not allowed to run from room to hall. If
this is not controlled, it will just be an accident waiting to
happen.
I do not understand why parents allow their children to run around
even at restaurants where waiters are trying to serve hot
food.
One time I witnessed hot soup poured onto a child because the child
was left unattended.
Another time, a child stuffed her pretty little hands into the dry
ice container before the wedding march in a hotel restaurant. She
was in the hospital, intensive care with her hands totally bandaged
for about 2 weeks. Parents wanted to sue the hotel. Duh!
Point is, there is a place for everything, church, restaurants, and
the MRT are NOT PLACES for a child to express his creativity or
freedom.[/b]
like u, i believe that when it's time for play, play hard! but
when u're not supposed to, dun do it... i dun think i can tolerate
kids misbehaving at the wrong place n time, wat's more for my
