Bamboo Philosophy
Parents, it is always wise for us to learn from mother nature. She has a great way in keeping balance. Well of course, it is HE Who Takes Care.
One chosen way to interact with your children is the bamboo philosophy.
Bend without broken.
Gentle, yet strong.
Straight to the point, yet flexible.
When they are not able to make decision yet, or knowing what danger awaits, we should make the decision for them.
When they are moving toward something we don’t agree about, let them get near it and hold them firmly. Just to let them know.
When they are doing things recklessly, put your arms around for a better grip in case they are falling.
Stick with your goal, but playing a bit around the corner could add some fun to the journey.
Behold, parents. I’m talking about bathing your children here.
What? The philosophy?
I saw my baby laughing out loud and jumping in enjoyment while bathing, thus I made it for you.
But you can use it as you like. You’re the parents anyway.

May 9, 2006 at 7:07 pmkus, i think you kind of miss the point here. It is right that sometime i hear ustadz said those things, but what Lita trying to say is that We thus the Parents who supposed to acts like a bamboo, not the baby.
Read again, slowly grasshoper like above hath written :
And yes i agree, there’s invinite lesson that the nature has for us, and yet sometimes we only translated it the way our liking and preference, hence we miss what nature truly thaught us, but I am not trying to contradict above’s phillosophy, but it most likely to be used on physical way .
Hath thyself set mind as the bamboo philosophy, then not a man of a character thou art, for thy mind always goes as the wind does.

Ahahah… iya betul. Kadang anak kecil itu susah disuruh mandi, tapi kalo udah mandi susah diajak udahan.
Nanda udah mandi sendiri ya?

Gak/belom punya bini juga gak papa belajar yang beginian.
Dan belom punya anak juga gak berarti gak berpengalaman sama anak kecil lho 🙂

Thank you, dear.
It is.
As for the character and mindset, yet open-minded, you have to root to the deep ground. Hold the truth you believe. Bukan ngikut ke mana orang berpendapat.
My my… you use such difficult English, you know?!
Anyway, this IS an ambiguous article 🙂
