OUR CHANNEL : Skilled and Smart, but … Empty-Hearted?
Recently I posted this ‘Food for Thought’ on my Facebook :
Instilling integrity and righteousness is far more difficult than merely teaching a child academic knowledge. Ironically though, parents in general focus more on filling the mind than shaping the soul / characters ?
Question is:
Are we raising the next generation to be intellectuals / skilled / smart, but people with little integrity and compassion towards others ?
…
And here are some of the comments left by others :
Christine:
That’s the problem with the 21st century education system, our society as well as us the parents. It’s time to reflect upon ourselves, what we are doing to our children if you ask me. Are our intentions always good for them – really? We cannot ‘teach’ integrity and righteousness – but we can show them by being that.
Magasvari:
I still feel that teaching compassion, integrity, respect and more are so necessary than sending them to top schools!
Thomas:
Character building is a hard thing to do, you cannot pay someone to do it, and you got to do it everyday by observing your child and teaching them the right thing…. and you got to connect to them emotionally. Lots of time and efforts spend here but I can guarantee you that this is one of the best investments in life you can ever get!

I just published another video on my OUR CHANNEL to share my personal thoughts on this particular parenting topic.
Check it out, and do share your thoughts too?
