Mengasuh Anak Secara Positif

Sungguh menakjubkan bagaimana orangtua yang bahagia dan positif akan menghasilkan anak yang tumbuh menjadi pribadi yang mempesona. Berikut ini adalah rahasia pengasuhan anak secara positif : 

1. Untuk membesarkan anak yang sehat dan bahagia, ajarilah anak untuk mencintai dan menyayangi dirinya sendiri. Caranya : Perhatikan diri Anda sendiri terlebih dahulu. Selalu sediakan waktu bagi diri Anda pribadi di tengah kesibukan harian Anda. Sediakan waktu bagi Anda untuk berolahraga, merawat diri, dan meluangkan waktu bagi pengembangan pribadi Anda. Sadarkah Anda bahwa orangtua yang tidak menghargai dirinya sendiri akan membesarkan anak dengan sifat serupa! 

2. Luangkan waktu yang berkualitas setiap hari. Talmud berkata "Setiap helai rumput punya malaikat yang membungkuk di atasnya dan berbisik,'Tumbuh, tumbuh'." Pemberian terindah dari orang dewasa adalah menjadi malaikat itu bagi seorang anak yang istimewa. Tunjukkan betapa Anda sungguh bergembira atas kehadirannya. Jadilah 'Ahli Gembira' bagi putra-putri Anda. Ubahlah waktu mengerjakan tugas harian menjadi momen yang berharga dan istimewa. Bernyanyi, memeluk, berbagi tawa dan cerita dapat membuat saat-saat biasa menjadi tak terlupakan.

Language and Culture

1.     What is language?

Language is Arbitrary & Conventional

The term arbitrary here refers to the fact that the symbol that people use is made or chosen without any principle, logic or reason. For example, people in Java do not have a principle or logic to call an animal with long tail, two hands, and two legs and like scratching and playing on trees as kethek. There is no logic either for people in Jakarta to call that animal monyet. This is what arbitrary means.

So, to answer Daniel's question: English people do not have any reason why they call the animal that produces "meauwww" as cat. Again, this is because language is arbitrary: no logical reason is used when choosing a symbol, and no direct relationship between the symbol and the symbolized.
