QQ: I agree with you leh. Not that Tian is not going to school on purpose, but she had a fall and from what you said, she's quite badly affected by it. Actually what I'll do is to say mummy will go to school with you tomorrow and get her to go, but if she still doesn't, then to strike a deal with her, let her stay at home, but must (no more excuses) to go the following day.
There was once or twice at anna's old school hubby allowed her to stay at home too cos she cried that she doesn't want to go school.
Yvonne: Anna is the same case. When she throws tantrums, she will cry and talk at the same time. And I'll tell her she has to stop cos I don't understand what she's saying. Actually, I can understand but I don't want her to have the habit of crying and talking and assuming people will understand her. Sometimes, she gets even more frustrated that people don't understand her. Got to teach lor. When she's in a happy mood and playing, I'll tell her that when she cries and talks, that no one can understand her. And I'll act the crying and talking part to show her how it's like, and ask her if she understands what I'm saying. Hahaha..
