Mothers and Aunties' Meeting

Here was our second meeting attended by Bonnie, Connie, Iris, Catherine, Elaine, Iris (Leung) and Ha and we learned:

  • we need to build close and communicative relationship with our daughter before they may ask us, "please let me decide what I want to do." (around age 10-12)
  • we have patience towards the girl(s) but not our own daughter or son.
  • auntie should be ready to accept the refusal when the first appointment with the seed.
  • girl may think, "Am I having any problem so recently two aunties are asking for outing with me?"
  • I learned how to respect my daughter for her own privacy when she does not want to tell me what did they do and talk with the auntie.
  • we are serious about the outing with the girls.
  • a consistent meeting schedule helps the girls to build trust and reliability
  • for SunFlower, it's an essence to be 1 on 1

We have also commited to some goals for working out in the upcoming 6 months:

  • Connie pray for michelle's baptism.
  • Connie will learn to build a trust relationship with cherry.
  • Elaine wants to know more about Tze Ying and Jadie and create memories time with them.
  • Elaine will support Dorcase to explore the world more.
  • Iris wants to help Cherry to have an all rounded perceiving mind.
  • Bonnie will inspire Dorcas to step forward with courageous.
  • Ha wants to change herself for 100% accepting and encouraging Tung Tung in order to help Tung Tung to build her confidence.
  • Iris (Leung) and Christine wants to become auntie to the seed next year.

Our next meeting will be on 18 Mar 2009. At that time, Bonnie and Connie will retire from the co-ordinator role and will be succeed by the other mothers to paying forward the project to the younger girls in the Kingdom.
