Yup, there r always so many decisions 2 be made, especially after being a mother, it seems like I can no longer sit & wait 4 things 2 happen, 4 pple 2 help me decide what I should do next cos whatever moves I make, its no longer just about myself, instead it is all abt my little darling, KION CHEW!!!
Ok, ok, so mayb some would say that I'm just being 'kiasu' that's y I'm facing so much decision making problems but hey, I did told myself b4 Kion was born, that I dont wanna become a 'kiasu' mum, who forces her child 2 learn too much & ended up without a happy childhood. It really isn't my fault, blame it on the society if u want cos I witnessed everything myself, even since Kion attended Shichida when she was 14 months, I saw how fast & capable some children were at recognizing letters & numbers. It wasn't these children who were stressing me that Kion wasn't learning fast enough, but it was simply the fact that I saw her being very upset whenever there were 'number recognition' games being played in class as she knew it, the fact, that she doesnt recognises the numbers & always turned her head away from Teacher Ambiga.....=( I began pushing her twice as hard 2 learn numbers not bcos I wanted 2 prove my child's ability, but it's simply cos I wanted Kion 2 play the games involving numbers happily like all of her other friends in class.
Then came 18months, as she began attending playgroup at WeeCare, I realized that she enjoys going there & makes an effort 2 wake up early every tuesday, just 2 go play at her 'ball ball school'. She didnt needed me 2 wake her up, Kelvin just have 2 whisper at her ears "ball ball school, waiting 4 u.." & she would automatically climb out of bed with a big smile on her face =) Yet soon, she turned 2yrs & it was decision making time, 2 let her continue 2 school @ Weecare, but without me accompanying her, or 2 change her school 2 somewhere like GUG, which parents can still sit in??? I made a decision 2 send her 2 WeeCare & 4 the 1st few weeks, Kion was crying like crazy all bcos of e fright she had gotten from the holiday programme @ WeeCare, cos holiday programme was generally made up from children of diff age group & Kion, being less than 2yrs & very timid, was crying whenever she saw the older boys shouting & snatching toys from each other.... Till today, teachers had updated me that Kion is still soo timid that she rather let go of the toys she's playing when someone else wants 2 snatch it away from her, then fight back 4 it. It is also cos of her timid character that I had time & again pushed away the tot of changing school 4 her as I'm seriously very worried that new teachers would not know of her character & monitors her with other children....
Initially, I tot that I could just put Kion @ WeeCare till its time 2 attend primary school, but now, after feedback on how poor her chinese is, I am in a decision-making situation again cos @Weecare, there is only mandarin lesson twice a wk, 1 on tuesdays & the other on Thurdays. As Kion doesnt go 2 WeeCare on thursdays, she is only left wif 1 mandarin lesson a/wk.... Yet the other school which I had found, @ BMCK, has 1.5hrs of english & 1.5hrs of mandarin everyday, but with only afternoon slots available..=( HELP!!!! I dont wanna mess up Kion's routine although Kelvin says that Kion can adapt easily 2 the new routine as her nap time has been recently dragged till 3pm by herself....
Haiz.... & then there's Gisele & Kyra, Kion's classmates, whom she had recently grew very attached 2, think as they grow older, they began communicating more & therefore grew more attach 2 one another... I keep explaining 2 Kion that they r gonna change school next yr too & Kion keep insisting on following them 2 the same school......
Anyway, I've got 2 makeup my mind fast cos both schools needs a reply soon...
btw, i was looking thru Kion's past videos & photos, & realized that she had actually grown sooooo much... Sad that she is growing too quickly, how I wish I can slow down the process of her growth. I know Kelvin would definitely say that I'm selfish again if he sees this=p
