Hi K's mom,
yes, the whole series. We love it. We love Friends too. Tried to follow Grey's Anatomy for a few weeks but gave up. There were plenty of talking and no sub-titles and we had to down the volume of the TV as the kids were sleeping then and so we actually rely a lot on subtitles. We are now subscribing to a DVD rental program ... pls keep the series stuff off me, I get addicted very easily....
Hi Meilan
I sense a certain level of hyeractiveness in JK. Actually I could have notice more during our lessons together but recently I'm occupied with plenty on my mind.... you can clearly see how "awake" I am in WI. I did notice that he has a very strong mind and like a lot of kids, he loves to be able to do rather than wait and listen for instruction. I remember that he just wanna hold the scissors and cut and despite not able to do it properly, still try and try. The kids in the group all bought scissors some time ago and they were all the same initially, unable to do it. Practise with JK. Give him space to do things he like. I find it's very difficult to tell the child that what he's doing is wrong and JK doesn't seem to like that, but I can see he's very enthusiastic abt a lot of things. turn that into your strength. By doing more and getting him to love doing things with you, you have a better chance of sharing more with him. Don't go too strong on him by trying to change him if you notice that he just switch off. btw, Ben does that too; when I tried to tell him abt something that he shouldn't be doing, his eyes went roaming too. Or he'll say he understood but a few days later, he'll say he can't remember. Actually there are times that we forgot that they are still a 3/4 yr old kid as they start to show that they understand more, don't you think?
You have to accept JK for some of these behaviour traits and slowly mould it so that it's not against him. I'm seeing that Ben's has a soft character and I realize caning would not ever work on him but reward scheme works well. For our fren, CE, timeout works for Adriel. Wat's JK's?
As for time for JC, I'm also guilty of that with Keith. So there are times that I'll request my helper or daddy spend time with Ben while I can spend time with Keith. Talk to your hubby and see what arrangement u can have. As for the school, I think JK has start to dislike the teacher and that would not help him. Like Serenade, I'd consider a change of school, or perhaps a change of teacher. Perhaps you can talk to the principal and express your concern abt the hitting?
Don't give up on being a SAHM. I always tell frens to approach the SAHM mode with care. Do it because you want to do it and not because u wanna run away from a stressful work environment. Same here. If you are running back to a "safer" environment , would u be happier with the childcaring arrangements? There must be a reason why u have chosen to become a SAHM ... go back to that. I know there are times that one SAHM wonders why she's chosen this path esp when she's down. Go and hug your kids and hear them tell u they love to have u at home... it works for me.
