Some Points to Consider Wiki's home is a good one in most respects. But have any of these points got a familiar sound? ? Wiki's parents are always too busy to help her with homework. ? When she was younger, nobody gave her a great deal of help in learning how to talk. ? Almost the only time her parents talk to her is when they are telling her to do some job or other. ? She has given up trying to tell them about all the things that happen at school. They became impatient every time she tried.
? Her childish questions were nearly always ignored. Sometimes she was smacked for being a nuisance. (Maori children use that word “nuisance” a great deal. You can understand why). ? Nowadays, if she talks to her parents at all, it is only to ask for something. None of this is anybody's fault. There isn't much communication between parents and children in a great many Maori homes, and I think this causes a lot of our troubles.
