1st Day @ Glory Kids Child Care Ctr

Jayden's mummy :- "Today the trial class began at Glory Kids Child Care Centre. It's a one week class especially for preschoolers, where the teachers will grade and observe the kids, and if they'll recruit them. Classes starts at 8.30am and ends at 12pm.

When we reached the church at 8.30am tis morning, Jayden was pointing excitedly at the playground and saying sth tat sounds like 'playground'. Then we took him to the classroom areas and saw tat at one of the playarea a big group of kids are already there busily playing wid toys on the floor. Jayden immediately rushed in to join them.

The teachers told me to leave ahDen's things and if our kid wasn't crying and starting to play around, it'll be better for the parents to leave immediately. After telling the teacher where his bottle and hanky and other stuffs are, we sneaked away from the school. Sigh! Maybe we should haf said goodbye to ahDen and tell him we'll be coming back to get him later.

When we went back for him around 11.45am, we saw a lot of parents are already leaving with their child. We walked into the classroom area and when Jayden spotted us, he immediately rushed out and grab hold of his daddy by the arm. Then i went to talk to the principal and got some really bad comments about Jayden.

The principal said that he didn't want to sit down and eat wid the others. He juz ran around. She said she's not sure what we normally gave him at home, but he was juz not interested in eating. Then he threw things around, and was shouting and rolling on the floor when they told him not to. Sigh! She said he was a really bad influence to all the other kids.

I was awfully disappointed. Then hubby figured it out when we came home. He said maybe ahDen was angry when he couldn't find us. That was most probably why he threw his tantrum and was shouting and throwing things around. So when the teachers stopped him, he was unhappy and started rolling on the floor. For goodness sake of cuz he wasn't allow to behave like tat at home, but when i told him not to, he'll juz shout n cry everytime. Hard hard....

When the principal said they really need to observe him for a few more days, and if they find tat he really wasn't suitable for school yet, then we'll haf to take him home and enrol him later. Sigh! Part of the reason i wanted school for him was because i knew he was a hard child to teach, very bad-tempered and always want to get everything his way. I thought at least by sending him to school, he learn to mingle wid others and learn some basic things like being toilet-trained, eating wid spoon, and other stuffs. Anyway, tat's wat schools are for right? I've tried teaching him all tat i can at home, not to say i totally ignore teaching him all this things. It was juz tat he didn't wan to listen to me and then i thought of other solution tat is to send him to school.

Juz hope tmr he'll behave better at school. Let's juz pray hard!"
