My eldest daughter is already in Standard 2. I've learned a few things along the way, so was just thinking of sharing them with my audiences. Ohhh...wait!! Do I have my audience?? Silent reader, maybe...haha. Anyway, these are what I have learned when my kid start schooling :
1. u got to keep ur PATIENCE on the extremely high level especially when dealing with this situation.
Situation 1 : In the morning, waking ur fast asleep lovely kids of yours for Subuh prayer and they start to cry because they don't want to leave their beds.
Situation 2 : The crying did not end and goes on during Subuh prayer and u can't concentrate on your prayer (this is because she only wants to pray together with me, if I leave her behind and pray first the situation gets worse)
Situation 3 : When u sent her to the bathroom and told her to finish her bath and stop crying, u came in to check on her another 10 mins later, she still weeping and leaning against the bathroom wall doing nothing other than....u know what. Grrrrrrrrr!!
*10 mins of precious morning hour wasted*
Situation 4 : On our way home after work, she fell into sleep in the car and the morning situation repeated (my eldest kid is schooling in 7.50am - 4.00pm school hour and usually my other half will pick her up after Asar prayer)
Situation 5 : The crying episode continued in the evening but usually it will gets worse with the "baling-baling barang" and "hentak-hentak kaki" situation which is so annoying to me and again the bathroom situation will be repeated
Situation 6 : She fell asleep again while doing her homework and we couldn't do anything to wake her up. The next morning, she'll skipped Situation 1-3 but she will repeat Situation 5 since she did not manage to finish her homework and updates her books to bring to school according to the timetable.
Situation 7 : The same situation goes on and on almost everyday of school days
2. kids on early school years, they listen but they never learned lessons from the everyday situation. You have to keep reminding him/her everyday about the same things like these:
Situation 8 : don't watch tv while doing ur homework
Situation 9 : do ur homework early especially on the weekend so u could have a piece of mind
Situation 10 : keep ur books according to the time table on the eve of school day, not in the morning of next school days so you have more times in the morning to get ready for school
Situation 11: don't loose ur sport's uniform again *instead, she has lost it 2 times already and the uniform is not cheap, ok!!
3. the everyday situation differs in boys. What I can see is, boys are much easier to handle. They won't get too emotional while on the other hands, girls are much more spoiled and got too carried away with their emotion
4. store more on-the-go foods in your handbag for after school 'hunger' unless u want to make a stop at the petrol station or convenient store on your way home
5. u need to provide them with supplements because they tend to fall sick easily
6. u need to spoil them with promises during exam's week and making sure u keep it after they received their remarkable results...yeayyy!!
7. no more normal rate on hotels since u can go on a vacation during school holidays ONLY
8. some of the hot-temper-encouragement situation will fade along with their age...... ...alhamdulillah
Well, that's all I could think of for the time being. Will update later if there's something I left behind. For reminders, these learning process (except for no.5-8) only happened when you have kid who is schooling from 8.00am-4.00pm straight. So you can see why all the annoying and patience testing behavior occurred in the first place...*THEY ARE TIRED!!*
