Teaching common sense

my-alja

Kids today are smart in wayswe never were, or at least not until we were much older. Today's kidshave grown up with many technologies that those of my generation arestill trying to learn. They can astound us with facts and figures andhave a pretty complex knowledge of the answers to how and why thingswork the way they do. So, why is it, many of these same kids havelittle common sense?...read more

common sense dalam artikel kat link alja bagi tu, bukan setakat budak, adult pun nak kena di ajar ...

me rasa, budak2 ni depa kind of lazy to make sound judgment....nak kerja senang je...ni yg me peratikan my eldest lah...
kekadang kalau ajar diorg ni pun, bukan nak ingat sangat...so, sometimes i let her learn the hard way - this way she'll learn her lesson well.....
as for me, common sense is usually used unconsciously ....

so alja, care to share on how to instill common sense in our kids?

benda simple saja kann....i tgk my anak buah umur 13 thn pun masih camtu
ikut kata my biras tu, apa lagi yg tak kena yee...??...nak kata tak didedahkan dgn pengalaman
cam tak logik

so dia pun cerita, dia suruh anak sulung dia keluarkan kuih pau dr fridge...
anak tu keluarkan lalu terus hidang atas meja...keras beku camtu!
dia tanya anak dia, ....tak pernah makan kuih pau, ka?...so...

anak dia jawab, laaa....ibu tak cakap suruh steam....
mak dia tak terkata apa2

WHAT IS COMMON SENSE?

Common sense means payingattention to the obvious. This is not as easy as it sounds. We all havevivid imaginations, and we tend to get lost in our fantasies. When fantasy replaces common sense,life becomes farcical and even tragic. Life is a series of ordinaryevents that follow the laws of logic and probability. These ordinaryevents are indifferent to our fantasies and require the careful,accurate navigation of common sense. I learned the lesson of common senseas a third-year medical student. I was doing an internal medicinerotation at a Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital and working with interns,residents, and attending physicians. One day, on morning rounds, weexamined a patient with a black tongue. The intern assigned to thatpatient had researched all the causes of a black tongue and was eagerto demonstrate his new knowledge. As the intern started to lecture us,the attending physician interrupted him and asked the patient if heuses black cough drops. The patient smiled, opened the drawer of hisnight table, and took out a package of Smith Brothers black cough drops. The intern's face turned red, and weall laughed. The intern was so focused on being a doctor, that heforgot to ask his patient an obvious question. It's been forty yearssince I was a third-year medical student, but I still have a vividmemory of that day and that lesson: use common sense and pay attentionto the obvious. My thirty-five years of medicalpractice have taught me the lesson of common sense again and again.Eventually, I realized that society in general, and modern medicine inparticular, lack common sense. This is why societal and medicalproblems are rarely solved. Let's apply common sense to healthcare.

ermmm.....ada org kata, ia tak boleh dipelajari...

rasanya definasi ini lebih tepat pasal common sense...

The environment and the way people have been nurtured and natured influences the degree of common sense people exhibit. But common sense is more involved than just these factors, it is about being able to work things out without being told, about noticing a situation from another person's perspective, and treating people the way you like to be treated.

i just nak share something yang i learn from sending my son to shichida...bukanla pasal common sense, but i think sipi2 la...

there's this saying " The hardest job kids face today is learning good manners without seeing any"

agak2nya, because yang adult pun kurang common sense, so the kids pun follow kut?

or they are just simply lazy

true...kurang contoh2 depan mata dan kurang pengalaman jugak kot..
even me myself, masih berusaha menambah pengalaman thru reading

ujung thn lepas i baca buku teusday with morrie...i love it sooooooo much
i wish i could hv someone like him to be my teacher/mentor...
it's all abt life...
the best part is, my kids dah mula memahami....so i selalu kongsi apa yg i baca dgn 2 beradik tu
kekadang i rasa, mereka paham apa yg i selama ni duk bebel dlm kete ...

i baca buku teusday with morrie

i belum baca lagi...but that book will be in my next to read book list...

kadang2 yang adult pun kurang common sense. Macam kat my hospital ni, masing2 dah dapat parking no masing. dah ada designated parking dah.... boleh main hentam parking lagi kat tempat orang...

tu tak masuk those yang double park, tapi tarik handbreak diorang. How do they expect kita nak kuarkan kereta?

geram sangat2

tapi masa i kecik dulu pun selalu kena marah dengan my mum... dia pun kata, takkan u tak der common sense...tapi time tu i think i banyak berangan la...or just plain lazy....

bagi aku alja....common sense is develop thru exposures....more exposures, more they learn, common sense nih while it named comoon....dia kena act yg ramai orang pikirkan...kalo majority of exposures exposed them to some stupid act...it is still common....macam kita naik bas slow2 que...itu common sense untuk masyarakat bertamadun..pada masyarakat yang biasa berebut...dia kata kita yang tak decommon sense...mungkin dia kata beratur naik bas tu lambat.....berebut lagi laju dan menjimatkan masa .....

thats my personal thought...

it is interesting cam alja...suka belajar from books....bagus ko nih suka baca...macam aku plak kan...style aku suka nampak satu real contoh...and aku spy2...apa yang mak bapak dia buat masa kecik.....kalo aku jumpa insan yanga ku rasa cemerlang....aku korek2...macammanamak bapak dia didik dia kecik2....tapi really informal lah......cam dia tak sedar pon aku carik rahsia..... yang contoh aku nak jauhkan pon...aku musti nak tau apa mak pak dia buat kat dia.....sampai dia jadik cam tu.....

kudos to alja...keep posting benda2 cam ni....so jalan sikit otak aku yang sengal dok ngadap keje anad anak2...hehehhehe

ooo...please DO, worth reading....

contoh my kid, i peratikan byk kali...bila i hidang lunch/dinner dgn sup/kari...berkuah
dia nak ceduk kuah dr mangkuk ke pinggan nasi...
kuah tu akan berjejes cam trail sebelum sampai ke pinggan nasi dia

pastu i tanya...u kena buat camtu ke?...boleh tak fikir cara lain yg lebih sopan
lama tau dia fikir.....sengih-sengih, dia tarik pinggan dia ke mangkuk besar berisi sup...

nak kata dia tak pernah perhati kita buat....rasanya, saban hari...itulah yg kita buat
agaknya dia nampak tapi kena "jentik" dlm kepala....baru dia sedar...

very true....aku sokong 100%

dah peratikan byk kali, kalo anak aku berpeluang berkawan dgn budak2 yg agak liar(tak dikongkong like my kids)
ada saja benda2 baru yg dia belajar....memanglah ada side effect, bahasa kasar yg dia bawa balik
tapi akal tu panjang dr normal kawan2 dia....i like!

common sense= street smart?....ada yg kata begini, aku setuju gak...

salah kita agaknya, sebab tu bila baca buku ...aku rasa ia membantu aku sedar fakta2 yg terlepas pandang
anak2 sekarang tak reti lansung nak appreciate benda2 murah/tak berbayar utk buat dia happy/content wt life
kita org tua pun sama...terikut-ikut pun ye gak! kan...
actually, aku sendiri tgh duk pratik benda2 yg aku baca....kekadang aku tanya depa punya pendapat
kekadang make sense tau jawapan budak2 tu....tambah2 anak aku yg kindy tu, dia simplistic...
jawapan dia selalu simple dan make sense...berbanding dgn si abang, too complicated...

org complicated, stended KPI tinggi...susah nak happy

fatehana

ana pun lebih kurang cam akubest

common sense thru exposures, lagi banyak yg kita dapat pendedahan lagi banyak yg kita belajar then kita cuba apply dalam diri sebelum terap kat anak2

anak2 lak ada yg terlebih common sense dan ada yg cam xde langsung, contohnya my son apa yg pelik my son kalau kat school boleh tahan xnak ke toilet coz dirty tapi bila kat rumah dia cam acuh x acuh aje jaga kebersihan so macam alja katalah nak selalu kena jentik kat mind dia baru boleh jalan, yg paling geram benda yg diajar dan diingatkan berkali2 leh lupa dan reason yg dibagi adalah "kalau dah TERlupa, nak wat camna"
