For Parents, “Triple Ex” is Good for Children
Again, watched my morning news (Umagang Kay Ganda) and in the “Parenting” segment of the show, topics how to make kids better. Their guest talked about the 3Es, although Id like to call it Triple Ex for better recall — it’s Expose, Explore, and Experience — which are essential to making our children more well-rounded.
Expose means having to “expose” our kids to different activities. Letting them play outside and interact with other people other than the family, and other than the computer. Think this has something to do with kids wanting to play with Wii, or do online gaming, rather than play Patintero, Habulan — streetgames that we all played when we were kids.
Explore is let our children have options, as far as imagination is concerned. As the guest suggested, why not let the children play with sand and water instead of a battery-operated car? With the toy, the kid would just have to place batteries and the toy would do what it’s configured to do, and that’s it. Whereas if you let the kid play with water and sand, he’ll discover that he could “create” something out of simple things (sandcastle, perhaps?).
Experience is letting the children feel things. As we all know, experience is the best teacher — so let’s not be too tight with our kids and let them experience life, the way children should live. Let’s try not to force them to do things our way, or for us to be too protective that they wont experience hardships. Let them fight, let them get dirty, let them cry — these are experiences which would make them grow.
Who wouldnt want to have their kids having the good life?
