chinese kiasu?!

we play 'giant' ball today.
"hold the handler of the ball, and jump, jump, jump."
not many of them dare to try it. They scared of falling down.
Teacher Chong described Chinese child as 'protected-child', because of parents scaring their kids hurt during plays, they don't have a chance to play variety of games.
The children themselves consequently become passive in plays.
Among our kids, Farah was brilliant. She managed to control and balance in a glance of time. There are only 2 Chinese tried. A boy and a girl. The girl is kind of kiasu lang. She tried after seeing all her friends tries. But she did good and careful. The boy is playful type. He has the heart to challenge himself, and not scares of falling. That's wonderful of him.
3 of them take turns to jump the ball. They jump, jump, and jump many times, again and again, getting more and more enjoy playing with it without tiring.
