Rencang Day 2015: Have you called your parents today?

Traveling to study and being away from parents on the one hand provides its own freedom for students. Their babbling is no longer often familiar to the ears. However, this often makes the relationship between parents and children become tenuous.

Moving on from this as well as commemorating National Family and Elderly Day, UKM Rencang held a series of Rencang Day 2015 events. The peak falls on today, Monday (1/6) in umn lecture hall. A seminar on “Have You Called Your Parents Today?” was presented slickly by Laura Laura Saskia Pelenkahu, psychologist and founder of the Center for The Development of Footy Psychology.

In this seminar, Laura underlines that the series of our lives comes from the barrage of decisions we take. There are only a few things that happened not as a result of our pillihan. One of them is the family in which we were born.

Family especially parents become important people who make us who we are who we are today. However, it can be said that the more mature the less time we give to both parents who have released us.

Laura then invited the seminar participants to fold a Time Paper that describes the use of our time for life. From this simulation it is seen that how much time we use to do routines such as sleeping, studying, or playing with friends and girlfriends. While the time we spend for parents is minimal even almost non-existent.

“Our time in a day is only 24 hours. Our time is limited. How do we manage a time like this? Are parents included in our time priorities? If there is time we give to parents, how do we use it? Whether to share or just complain to them, “said Laura.

He then explained the importance of quality in every conversation and meeting we give to parents. “Our time is limited but most importantly there is the quality of every meeting and conversation. It is a pity if there is very little time, the quality is very minimal,” he said.

Laura also revealed the ways that can be done to show that we love our parents. One of them is by calling them. He then asked the seminar participants to spend 2 minutes of time at that time to call their parents and express their affection for him.

Our time is limited and our parents’ time is the same. It never hurts to start making time for them and making it a priority. Have we taken the time to call or talk to our parents today?
