Four Kids for Me

By Rose Chen

Are you a busy mom? A bad mom? A frustrated mom? An always second-guess-yourself mom? Whichever it is, you will love this book."Four Kids for Me" is a collection of daily conversations between Rose and her four kids (three boys and one girl), all with their own characters and personalities.Kids' statements are often surprising, unexpected, sometimes unbelievable if we think of their age and maturity level. This book shows us that basically, children are adults in their minds. The 'childish' part is only about the way they express their thoughts, their feelings.On a particular day in this book, Rose and her three elder kids were all busy. Then five-year-old Matthew kept bugging them to play with him. Rose encouraged him to play by himself. She said, "Matthew, there are a lot of kids who don't have brothers or sisters. They can play by themselves." To which, Matthew answered, "I know. But I have two brothers, one sister, one mommy, and one daddy. Why is there no one who wants to play with me?"This book reminds us, as parents, to observe closely the way our children think, to have an honest and open dialog with them; because only through honesty and openness, children prepare themselves to become mature adults.Matthew was born with VSD and had to go through surgery at eleven months old, which left a long ugly scar on his chest. Rose never expected that he hates his scar so much until he was in the second grade and he blurted it out. He even wondered what he had done wrong as an infant to deserve that condition. Read this book to find out how Rose answered his question and other questions her children asked her.
