All About Your Child

Its the 4th day since school re-opens. Some children have stopped crying. Others continued. Kids who didn’t cry previously started to cry today.

Desperation on the parents’ faces of children who haven’t been cooperative since day one were obvious.

Some have chosen another candidate to bring the child to school, while hiding behind the pillar and hoping for miracles.

Rewards were withdrawn and coaxing words have changed to threatening sentences:

“STOP CRYING or I’ll cane you”

“Don’t force me to beat you in front of everyone here. Stop Crying!”

“You are a disgrace! Look! Other children are not crying…”

“Stop crying RIGHT NOW or you’ll ‘get-it-from-me’ when you go home later!”

“Stop these nonsense (kicking and screaming) now, or I’ll LEAVE YOU HERE!”

“If you continue to cry, the teacher will lock you in the toilet!”

HUH???!! Horrible words were already so piercing to my ears. Can you imagine what is going through the little ones’ minds?! As if it wasn’t bad enough, even the Teacher has became the ‘bad’ guy. If I’m the kid, I’ll rather get the cane than to leave me in that classroom with a Monster!

Oh parents, I know your patience have exhausted but please… watch your words…your little one would think that you do not love them anymore….

Too bad, the teacher was too busy with another yelling kid, whose parent had  ‘ran’ away after ‘pushing’ the kid to the teacher; I’m so interested to see her reaction to that ‘accusation’….

I love what Mdm Normah did when Keatkeat started his preschool life 3 years back. She asked me to join my crying son into the class, till he was emotionally stable or when he was too engrossed with the story-telling session; before I ‘sneaked’ out.

For Binbin’s class, some parents just stayed in even though its obvious on the teacher’s face that she would rather handle the crying children then to have the parents in class….

hmmm…..

I truly appreciate the school’s idea of having an hour for the first week. Tomorrow will be the last day for the 1hour class. *Deep Breath* I can’t imagine what would happen next week, when the crying kids have to stay in for 3 hours….

…what will be, will be….

My great friend of 18 years took a day off from work today and invited my family to their house for a simple kids’ gathering. Nope, the 3 lovables are NOT her kids, they are her nephew and nieces.

In case you are new to my blog, my boys are the one on the extreme left (Binbin) and the one kneeling at the back (Keatkeat). 

(right to left) Janelle (1), Jazlyn(5) and Javier(7).

This is the second time they met but the first time they get to play with each other. The moment Jazlyn saw Keatkeat at the door, she held his hand so tight and started to bring him around her house. Soooooooo cute!!! Keatkeat was shocked, “Mommy, why is she holding my hand? She doesn’t want to let go…”

Yet on yesterday’s post, I mentioned that Keatkeat hardly get such attention and today he proved me dead wrong! *laugh*

Probably because they are just 2 days apart, there’s definitely some sparks going on between the two scorpios…. *wink*

Its a wonderful 2+ hours for the kids and the adults. Needless to elaborate on the kids I  guess. As for me, I had a great time talking to auntie (my friend’s mom), whom I’ve not chatted with for over 13 years now.

The best part was all the kids wanted to meet again! Thank you Jennifer for the invitation… all of us had a great time! *smile*
