RE: crying in schools
Er, I dun understand why do the schools reject crying kids. I think it does take time for them to get used to it. I would be very surprised if any P or school teacher came up to me and said to pull the kid out because of crying non-stop. In fact, when I asked at the playgroups, they told me very common for kids to cry for weeks, its okay, they will handle it.
However, I also read this somewhere "what is so important for a three year old kid to learn in school than bonding time with the mother." The P of one of the kindy that I went to kept saying that nowsadays we are sending kids to school so early. Too early in fact. In their time, people go to school at 5 years old, now they go at 18mths. Actually, to me, the important thing is to have fun at school. Have fun with other kids especially since there are no other kids at home and MIL can't be entertaining her all the time. Learning at school is secondary. I teach her a lot at home too. Learning with me is more important. Because learning with me = bonding time with mother and also I want her to forever associate learning with fun and love. If for whatever reason she has to idle at home, then idle lor, no choice. Childhood is too short already. Having said that, I think they should go to school (Am I being contradictory?) but I'll most certainly pull her out if she is going to cry everyday for 3 hours for days with no improvement at all. No point like that.
YT is getting more and more selfish and that may be because there is no other kids at home. She fail to interact correctly. Last time she will allow other kids to board the ride that she is on the moment I told her another kid want to go on the ride. She stood up readily and let others play. Now, she will fussed and scream at the other party. Today she is at the toy shop above kino and riding on a car. She refused to let another girl ride the car and even screamed at her when the girl tried to say hello to her cuz she tot she is indicating that she wants the car. In fact, even when she stood up from the car and is playing with the toy train, she still refused to let the other kids sit on the car. So terribly embarrassing. I dunno when and why she turned like that. Sigh. What do you do when your kid is behaving selfishly? How to correct that behaviour?
