  8. If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again If I had my child to raise all over again,I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.I would do less correcting and more connecting.I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.I'd do more hugging and less tugging. ~Diane Loomans, from "If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again"

  11. CHARACTER AND VALUE The most critical part, and a test of every student an engaged learner, is how committed a student is in developing the values and character that will enable him to succeed in life and contribute to others. Knowledge and skills can become outdated, but a mature social-emotional core, deep values and strength of character will enable our children to continue to thrive as they grow. It is not cognitive skills alone, but character traits of empathy, graciousness, responsibility and integrity that will enable our kids to succeed. - KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY MR HENG SWEE KEAT, MINISTER FOR EDUCATION, AT THE MOE WORK PLAN SEMINAR, ON WEDNESDAY, 12 SEPTEMBER 2012

  23. Every Parent is a Supportive Partner I have a lot of empathy for parents. Parenting is very challenging - all of us who are parents know that. It is a big and complex subject. Our expectations have gone up, we have less time, and our children are exposed to many more sources of influence. But ultimately, parents and educators share the same goal - to bring out the best in our children. So let us work together in partnership. - MR HENG SWEE KEAT, MINISTER FOR EDUCATION
