kiddy rides fun (or not)

whenever we pop over IMM for dinner and weekend grocery shopping, the kids will get super excited over the opportunities to climb up and down the various kiddy ride machines and vandalize play with the buttons & steering wheels, etc.





but with these kiddy rides, i think there is a lesson for me to learn here - these rides often feed the children's needs to be in control; especially to be in the driver's seat and manuvouring the steering wheel while the "co-pilot" can only touch the other buttons but never the steering wheel, even if they are NOT getting anywhere in that stagnant machine.

with the ways my 2 kids fought over control of the steering wheel, it just goes to show how strongly they will fight over for their 'wants' in future, with each other and slowly will be targeting me/hubs (the providers) ! just the thoughts of them have whinefest to get their ways... aiyoh, i will surely flip!

note to self - must instil in them the right values (over materialism) in life early!
