Family Profile Raising Children Is About “Willingness” Be willing to spend time and energy accompanying kids, and be willing to put them in the world to go through wind and rain... Thousands of feet above land in an aircraft cabin, a young boy cried and began tossing and hurling snacks across the cabin. His parents stayed silent, and no other passen- ger came forward to stop him. The nearest flight attendant attempted to intervene, but the boy threw a pillow at her! Song Yuhan, who was sitting quietly in the back, picked up the closest garbage bag and squatted alongside the young boy. As he con- tinued to fling objects through the cabin, Song Yuhan picked them up and placed them in the garbage bag. The boy would occasionally look towards Yuhan who kept on pick- ing the objects, until he finally stopped. Throughout this experience, Yuhan’s parents remained put as they observed their child. This is a classic example of the type of education that Yuhan receives at home. Her parents always keep their eyes on her, but they never interfere in her efforts to explore the world. Such education has given Yuhan an optimistic and a positive outlook on life, while instilling in her courage and the strength to solve real world problems. Yuhan’s father, a medical engineer, and Yuhan’s mother, a partner at a PR firm, both have busy careers, but they have never overlooked the importance of making progress and facing problems together as a family. They are a positive example for families at Keystone. In this story, we learn more about Yuhan’s family, and listen to this Grade 6 student as her parents share their journey to Keystone...
