MM：Little Doll (Xiao Wa Wa)

This song is about the parents' love for their adorable daughter. I love this song very much. The beginning part is in Chinese, the later part is in Mongolian.

Enjoy!

MM: Old McDonalds - Nursery Rhymes

I guess a lot of our visitors know this song very well as almost everyone sings this song once in school or their parents sing it when we have been kids.

At the moment it's our turn to sing this song to our Timmy :) We will start Nursery Rhymes as a new series for our Music Monday.

Smack your kids to success - a study suggests!?

A new study who researched the effects of smacking kids showed surprising results but it depends at which ages the kids have been smacked.

The study "recommends" that smacking your kids between 2 and 6 years leads to more successful youngsters and adults in the long run.

In comparison with kids who haven't been beaten or kids who have been beaten beyond the age of 12 years the previous mentioned group of kids had advantages in academic rank, volunteer work, college aspirations, hope for the future, and confidence in their ability to earn a living when they grow up.

The study reviewed 2.600 persons of whom 25% never had been smacked. The 179 teenagers were asked when they got their last smack and how often they were smacked as child.

Can you smack your kids to success or will physical punishment do more harm to the self-confidence of your kid?
