Yes, Kion did make-up lesson for ballet today, as she didnt wanted 2 attend last friday's lesson (something I forgot 2 record down as was too tired last friday).
Frankly speaking, I was totally pissed off last friday as things were like normal during our drive 2 the ballet school, although she did threw a bit of a tantrum when she woke up from her nap, insisting 2 wear her "bear bear t-shirt 2 ballet class".
Yet as we reached the scholl & while I was changing her shoes, she suddenly just bursted out crying, refusing 2 enter her class & only stopped crying when I told the girls at the counter 2 arrange 4 a make-up class =(
Anyway, I was totally pissed off & motivated by "Amy Chua", the author of "The Hymm Of The Tiger Mother" (as I was half-way thru the book), told myself that I'm gonna b a strict & fierce mother. I told Kion that I was gonna cane her when we reach home as I felt that I cannot let her get away with crying 2 escape from ballet cos she would repeat the same behaviour should I pretend nothing happened. Further more, she was the one who wanted 2 sign up 4 ballet, she was the one who had always been looking forward 2 ballet classes on fridays. I felt that the crying behaviour was more like a habit formed from the dropping off @Lorna Whiston recently =(
Haha... as I didnt had a cane @home, I took the 2 balloon sticks in the living room, caned her palm twice, then asked her to look as I open the rubbish chute & dump her "bear bear" shirt in. I told her strictly that should she cry again b4 classes, regardless of LW or ballet, I;m gonna throw her toys 1 by 1 into the rubbish chute.... & how proud I was, thinking tat I might b the next Amy Chua in the making & Kion, might also b able 2 become some genuis because of my actions, although I did cry after Kion went into her room(it really pain me to treat her like that).
Later on,as i finshed the book, I realized that Amy Chua's tactics may not b considered as a success cos it worked on her elder daughter but not the 2nd one (made me felt ashamed of my own behaviour =p)And worst part was, the threat was not working, Kion still cried the next day when I dropped her off for school & today, b4 gg into class, she cried too, that's when I realizes that I may have 2 sit in with her, & slowly let her gain back her confidence 2 stay by herself for ballet.
Mayb her recent days spent in LW had been very tramatising??? Yet when I suggested changing schools, she refuses, saying she wants 2 be with K & G.... Haiz, what should I do???
