Last week, a friend told me that she has taken her 10 year old daughter out from a renowned Chinese primary school and placed her in a private school instead, after her daughter being diagnosed of depression recently. I truly salute her courage to make the change. As parents, we often want to give our children the best we could. But are we truly giving them the best we could? Do we really have the courage to listen to our heart and are we brave enough to make changes that our heart tells us to? In theory, we know that every child is unique and special. However, in practice, do we really dare to raise our children in ways different from the other parents?

We often feel trapped by the situations. We often feel that we are the victims. However, other than whining and complaining, are we doing something? Are we the change we want to see? Or are we just part of the conspiracy?
