The self-recounting method is adopted for conducting a narrative research of this study. Started from the moment when a certain unusual behaviors found on Ming-Ming, my son, at his very young age, till his graduation from kindergarten, I wrote down notes of my daily life and collected related information, as well as discourses with my husband and teachers, as the major sources of this study.
My child-rearing experiences will be divided into two major categories as followings:
