Processing questions:

1. How does your parent/guardian discipline you when you were a child?

They always told me when I was young that there were things I couldn't say or do. I
liked to be curious about things when I was a child, and my parents corrected me if those things
were not good for me. Beating as a form of discipline will not go away, especially if you refuse
to listen to your parents and continue to do things you know are wrong. I'm not going to name
the ones I've been spanked by, but that's the typical way most parents discipline their children,
perhaps because it was done to them when they were young and that's where they understood
that's the right way to discipline.

2. What is the most unforgettable lesson/s that you learn from your parents/guardians?

My parents taught me a lot of things, but the most important thing that I will never forget
is that you should never complain, especially about simple problems. You can't avoid
complaining but going overboard is a bad idea. And even though we don't always get everything
we desire they taught us to appreciate what we do have, whether it's a small amount or a huge
one, because they are still blessings to us.
 3. What type/s of parenting do you want to instill or practice in the future?

Maybe I'll leave out the beating because, in my opinion, that method isn't very effective.
There are still children who, no matter how many times you discipline them in this manner, don't
really learn. Also, I'd like to point out that this method is ineffective because, rather than
imprinting in their minds that they will never make a mistake because they know it is wrong,
they will refrain from doing so because they will be beaten. Instead of reflecting on their actions,
it appears that they are more concerned with the prospect of being beaten. I believe it will be
more effective if I simply guide them in determining whether what they are doing is right or
wrong.

Letter to my parents/guardians

Dear Mom and Dad,

Hello there, Mom and Dad! I just wanted to express my gratitude for raising us siblings
so well. I am grateful for everything we have today because of you. Thank you for your
sacrifices, the way you work even when you're sick, the way you work but still do the other
housework on occasion. Thank you for always remembering to say hello and comfort me when
you notice I'm not feeling well. Sorry if there are times when I argue with you, but please know
that I love you both so much. I just also want to say that everything you advise us, I
always remember those because I know it will help us not only now, but also in the future,
especially if I have any future children. I know everything you teach us makes sense, and I can
also teach it to the people around me. Hopefully, we will be able to go for a stroll if we're not
busy anymore. That's all for now, and I genuinely love you both.

Your Favorite Daughter,

Patricia Isabelle C. De Rojas
