Week 2 Day 4 - a real bad day

The update today is like the US market major sell off yesterday or the oil price ... It just keeps getting worse. 

Today , he did the unthinkable - he scratched the teacher after she told him not to hit his classmate! It was a real deep scratch. 

"Hi parents, I am on half day leave today  so Zhao Laoshi and another teacher was looking after the class this afternoon. Zhao Laoshi informed me that Cayen hit Cayden again so she went to talk to him in a good way but he scratched Laoshi. 😣  This morning he seemed behaving well and we praised him everytime he displayed good behaviour but I guess it will really take more time for him to regulate his emotions and actions. 😁"

We are really thankful that the teachers are going all out to help him improve but it just seems to get worse. This is despite me giving him some snacks to bring to school to share with his friends today. I'm reading up on what to do to curb this aggressive behaviour. Apparently it could be due to stress of change (of school)  from what I read but it's getting so bad. Sigh. 

Anyway , we had a late update from yesterday ..apparently no news doesn't mean there's indeed no news. And to think that Cayen asked to watch a lot of Nic Junior (cartoon) because ”他很多很多乖”.

Here's feedback from teacher early today. 

"Hi Mummy, good morning. Yesterday, he is still quite as mischievous as he is but he seemed to remember not to play with water. However, he scratched his friend Cayden when he was playing at the cookery. I asked him why, he said Cayden took Ryan's toys that's why he scratched him. But Ryan didn't complain like this. He actually wanted all the toys for himself."

And to end the day, he hit our neighbour at the swimming pool too when he tried to go near him. I feel so bad ..

Anyway, after I came home, I spoke to him and made him apologise to teacher again (record clip). I also banned cartoon tonight. And I thought him to squeeze a stress ball or walk away if he's angry instead of hitting people. Let's see if it works.

Nurturing creativity

We went for curriculum updates last week for Cayson and the week before for Cayen. Bumped into the English teacher who told me that Cayen eats his lunch very well including vegetables (doesn't sound like him at all). She also mentioned that Cayen likes to test boundary. Recent case in point , teacher would ask the children to not talk in the toilet as it could be noisy for the children in the adjacent classroom. As he wasn't allowed to talk, he purposely started singing instead. Then our discussion was cut short and I wondered how the teacher responded to his singing eventually.  Nonetheless , this is one of the many instances where Cayen would not do things the conventional way. In Cantonese, I might even call him "Seng Mok" (savvy). For instance , previously , he was spotted sipping lime cordial juice on a plate -he has helped himself at the dispenser without my knowledge . One would have usually told him off but I decided to ask him why he did that. He said that he

Feedback from teachers

As part of the regular meet the parent session, I joined Cayson to make ice cream. Think I must be the only one who managed to tear two plastics bags in a row due to vigorous shaking. It’s good fun as Cayson tried his hand at making ice cream from Meiji strawberry milk.  Teacher’s feedback on him is still good as usual as he’s still quite an obedient and easy going kid though she did remark that he’s picky with some food like vegetables now. And whilst he’s 99% agreeable in the past, he’s been more prone to his own opinion (I read it as trying to get his way). And sometimes he followed his classmates’ action of scribbling away randomly during colouring when he used to colour carefully within the lines. Observations were quite in line with what we see at home. Recently he would cry when he doesn’t get his way. For instance, we were playing snakes and ladders and he started crying when I made him slide down when he hit a snake. He kept screaming “I want to win”. Later on, he proceeded to

Top 12 Tips during Confinement - revised edition (2017)

This is dedicated to my dear friends who are expecting their bundle of joy very soon. Being a hassle-free type of mother who needs to go back to work after maternity leave, and also one who likes a good bargain, these are the things I personally find very useful, practical & cost saving. 1. A good breastfeeding pillow  - my Brestfriend  For some strange reason, I didn't see the need to invest in this initially. But this has to be the top 1 or 2 items I cannot live without during the first few months. No matter how I positioned the normal pillows, I just couldn't get the right positioning without straining my shoulders/ back. So yes, this is first on the list. Anyway, if your milk production is low, try papaya with fish soup and remember to drink lots of water. If all else fails, you still can try to take some herbal medicine before resorting to Formula Milk. This herbal supplement improved production by 30-50%. I only took it when baby was having gro
