Birth Order Trait

Week 4

• The eldest child: more responsible, mature, often a perfectionist, a good leader, higher IQ, low self-esteem
• 
  
• The middle child:(any child born in between the eldest and youngest): not an over achiever, creative, artistically inclined, often felt neglected, lack of direction
• 
  
• The youngest child: often get away anything, not independent, often not taken seriously

 Not all of the above statement is correct. I believe that we are not purportedly born with traits or character that matches our birth order. I am the youngest child in my family and I do not think all youngest often get away with anything, not independent and often not taken seriously.

My parents had to educate our young brothers and sisters out to be independent and to think in a rational way, especially me because I was the youngest. I live independently from young and my parents treated us all fairly. For me as the youngest child, I need to be more independent and be serious in what I’m doing. This will ensure to my parents that I can survive successfully without other’s help. And hence this will probably showed to them that I am responsible and bear anything on my shoulder in all what I have done.

As we know the eldest child more responsible and such a good leader. But not all of them have these characteristic. Sometimes, the eldest child is arrogant and misused their power because they think that the power is all in their hand. More to worst, when their parents puts hundred percent trust on them.

In my point of view, the above statement is totally wrong!

Monetary incentives to KP2 students

Week 3

I think we should not give money to KP2 students as this will bring much awareness to them to change to better. This matter is not to inconvenience the students but to create awareness and correct their mistakes and not repeat it. This provides many benefits, especially in terms of aspects to improve the education and morals. They will also appreciate the time and money and not waste their future.

In my opinion, if we restrict the money to KP2 students, it will make them realize the mistakes that they have done. They would feel regret for not trying to be excellent students. When they see the other students who got the money, this will encourage them to change and get better results, therefore improve their results.

In addition, students will find the use of money given to them is use in appropriate need such as need of study and not to entertainment. This will discipline and teach them how to appreciate the time and using money in the right direction. They will also learn to cut costs and think the money is very valuable, especially to get the best knowledge and to achieve a perfect future.

Besides that, they will also try and learn to appreciate the opportunity given and will not repeat past mistakes. Money and time will also be a true friend to them.

As a conclusion, I totally disagree with to give monetary incentives to the KP2 students. When consciousness is in them, this will give them the opportunity to change and have better missions and convincing. They will try to appreciate the opportunity given and will not waste their future.
