Childcare review
Last Saturday I had a 1-to-1 review with Ah boy’s teachers at the childcare for his 1st semester. Some sort like the parents meeting in schools. As usual.. ah boy dislike going to school on a Saturday. Wanted to ‘dump’ him with his classmates.. but he refused & got so excited that he bit on my left & right shoulder! 2 bite marks.. but heal very fast.
His teachers have good & bad comments for ah boy. As he’s the biggest in the toddler class, in terms of date of birth, he’s a good learner in everything. Teachers showed me some pictures of him in class & his artworks. He is able to participate well in class & follow teachers’ instructions. One of the activities required him to crumble paper & throw into a basket a few distance away from him. He is so determined that only on the 3rd trial, he succeeded in throwing into the basket, then he’s satisfied and walk away.
Ah boy is very picky in his food, and he will selectively picked up those food he don eat, eg vegetables & fish, push them aside on the plate, and eat the rest of the food. Teachers reminded them not to use hand to eat the food, so Ah boy trying to be smart. He used his hands to pick up the last few bits of rice & put onto his spoon, then put the spoon into his mouth. I was told he loved to jump & run in class, which results in his classmates imitating him. As his classmates are younger, with some just learn to walk. So jumping & running may cause them to fall down easily. So the teachers always repeatedly ask Ah boy not to jump & run about in class.
Teachers commented ah boy is a good boy at sharing. When playing toys, if his classmates snatched toys away from him, he will hold back a while & then release to the other classmates. He hardly snatch other classmates’ toys. Which is consider a plus point until….
Yesterday, 29 Jun 2009!!!
Ah boy was playing toys wif his classmate, kai xian (teacher say ah boy is pretty close to this boy). Kai Xian then snatched the toy from Ah boy. Of coz both boys refused to give up.. and hold onto the toy. Kai xian then attacked ah boy by biting onto ah boy’s left shoulder! Poor ah boy cried out loud.. Kai xian also got scolded by the teacher and he cried too. Poor Ah boy.. he still have the red bite marks on the shoulder this morning. MIL checked his shirt & it was not torn. But I believed the bite is quite tough and pain on ah boy, for him to leave such a red mark for so long. I try to educate ah boy by telling him that biting each other is wrong. Share toys with others, as there are plenty of toys in the childcare. Hopefully he will learn from this lesson.
