Many years ago, one of my bosses told me,
"If you don't help yourself, nobody can help you."
After knowing my son Solomon was addicted to the
computer game, he has become violent.
I did not know whom to turn to for help.
Nowadays the school children are like
the little emperors. The teachers are like the
official under a feudal ruler and they have to play safe.
Finally, I turned to my God.
After praying for a few days, I got an idea. I have to
discipline Solomon in playing computer game.
A week before the year-end school examination, I told
Solomon that he should totally stop playing computer
game during the examination days.
Three days before the examination, I kept his notebook
computer and told him that he could not use my
desktop computer in playing game too.
After keeping the computer, Solomon turned to the television
programs. He sat in front of the television when he was
back from school. I kept praying for him. One night,
I discovered that although the television was on,
Solomon was reading his textbook and notes.
On the last day of the examination, I made an agreement
with Solomon before returning the notebook computer to him.
He can only play the computer game for 90 minutes per day.
He also needs to take a break after the 45 minutes.
There was a Chinese saying that a silly loving mother
spoils the child. As the teachers need to play safe,
we as parents have to help our children from
becoming a little emperor. Help ourselves!
