Newspaper Article - When Children Hit Their Parents

Dear children,

This is an article that I took from the Straits Times on June 29. I felt quite sad after reading it. Do we really have children out there who do this to their parents? Share your thoughts after reading the article.

Some things to think about:
1) What roles should children play in a family?
2) From what you have read, what are some reasons why children end up hitting their parents?
3) Do you think it is right for children to hit their parents? Why?
4) What values should we show to our parents?
Thank you.
Ms Tseng

  9. I think they must learn to take care and help your parents.
    It is because one of the people hit her father because her father wanted to help to calm down her daughter shouting to their maid.
    No. It is because their parents care for them.
    We should show respect to our parents.

  10. I think that children shouldn't beat their parents and grandparents as no matter what their parents brought them to the world and bring them up. Children should show care and concern for their parents. They beat their parents for money to settle their gambling debt and money to buy drug.

  14. To my dear friends out there, our parents are always here for us to care for us, but do we return the favor or is it the opposite way?
    We, as their dear children, should always develop care and respect for our dear ad hardworking parents. Should they do anything wrong, we should tell them in a correct manner. My dear friends, developing care and respect are always easy, but if we do not use it the correct way, we can easily misuse them and be like the article shown. Do remember my dear children, do devvelop and show care, concern and respect to our dear, hardworking and patient parents.
