Creative or Defiant?
Child, Parenting, Preschool July 1st, 2008This is a ‘normal pair of shoes’.
This is what my Keatkeat did to them.
Doing it for his little brother, Binbin. The ‘spirit’ of Brotherhood. *smile*
It’s been more than a month. The 2 of them have refused to do it the ‘right’ way back. Whenever I bring Keatkeat to school, those uncles and aunties would say things like:
“Aiyo, he doesn’t know how to wear the shoe properly ah?.”
“Aiyo, as a mother, you should correct him.”
“This is the wrong way of wearing the shoes.”
My reaction? – SMILE.
Yup! That’s all I do. Well, he is not obstructing, offending or hurting anyone. Most importantly, his shoes don’t fall off when he runs, so does it really matter?
I guess it matters alot to these uncles and aunties, ‘cos their grandchild is following the style too! *Laugh*

My brother used to wear his shoes like that when he was little! I don’t understand why other people would be bothered by him doing that and think you should correct him. You have a good attitude about it, though!

There’s no right or wrong :) I find that they are smart to think of other way to wear it!

I like that! It’s cool! :) Your boys are trend-setters / leaders and not just followers. Good for them! Don’t bother abt what others say. Criticism always comes when you try to do things differently. Good that you just smile at the ‘critics’. =)

There is nothing wrong to wear it that way. I personally feel that they are just being creative.Don’t bother about what other says.. If I were you, I will also just smile away..think thats the best we can do.

hey, i like your cool way of shrugging off the remarks :) I would think that a lot of people will choose to follow the ‘right’ way for the sake of conforming to the norm and succumbing to peer pressure.

HA is right! If they can express themselves in such simple ways then maybe they won’t try to express themselves in some naughtier fashion.

I thought it was very creative of you kid to wear the velcro the “wrong way”. It gives a little more design to the shoe. I’ve never thought of it. Will give it a try on Zac’s shoes… LOL :)

My girls used to wear their shoes this way too. We never bother to correct them as we don not want to restrict them in their “creativity”…There’s no right or wrong how to wear a shoe..never know this might be the up and coming trend : )

Hes so creative! Good job to help his bro with it too.
well, it’s not about wrongly, could be safety basic bah..cos both strip are not 100% stick on when they are cross. Nevertheless, since they didnt fall off I guess its fine! ^ ^
I will let my boy wear it this way if he also do it like that. ^ ^
