Where's the popcorn ?
Last Friday 18th June, I took an afternoon off to watch a movie, Toy Story 3 with my son Andrew and his friend, Glenn.It was a lunch with a movie thrown in, and it was nice to spend some quality and bonding time with my younger son, who is in Secondary One. The meal was their choice, and we had some nice McWings, Chicken Burger, and Cheeseburger at the Great World City Mcdonalds at River Valley Road.
Nice discussion at Macdonalds
The male youth of today are obsessed with computer gaming, with many multiplayer games available such as Counter Strike, World of Warcraft, Maplestory to name just 3 games. We try our hardest as parents to control their game time, and
even have time restrictions on their game play limiting them to no more than 1 hour during term time. There have been numerous occasions when their addiction to the gaming has led them to forgo their exercise and homework. We are not so lucky to have disciplined teenagers who are self-starting and are able to prioritise their time and study independently. In essence, they have low self-discipline.

The show was very captivating, to say the least and this Toy Story 3 is the most where it deals with separation issues between child and toy and parent and child, something which all of us must face in our lives one day. With bonding and communication, I hope that we can have close ties with our teenagers and children for year to come
