Recently, a friend mentioned that he brought his son to a nearby playground for a dad-son bonding.
At the playground, he overheard another Dad saying the following to his son:
“Go and get it from them.
Don’t give it to them.
You have to win”.
And the last statement shocked me as I heard it from him:
“You don’t have to be nice to them”.
What? Did I hear it correctly?
It is no wonder that Singapore is experiencing challenges in the mental health space of our youth.
- Counsellor is not going to solve the problem.
- Psychologist is not going to solve the problem.
- Therapist is not going to solve the problem.
If we want to look at how the future generation of leaders in Singapore will look in 20 years, go to the playground and observe.
Everything starts at the playground.
How We Play Is How We Grow.
For good or for bad.
Food for thought.
