=) To begin, let me introduce you Popular Child J from my new kindergarten.
Some background about him: he is only in nursery (4yrs old) but trust me, he can be quite n_ugh_ty. Eventhough I don't teach him but I often see/hear about him. The teacher who handles his class is rather soft so he doesn’t really respect/listen to her. He is often controlled by the assistant.
Beat his friends, kick his friends, shout during assembly, scream when unnecessary, push his friends, and run non stop… you name it, he did it.

One incident few days back… (whole conversation in Chinese)
*Cher Lim in class with her K1 children*
Cher Lim: *heard loud crying & screaming from outside*
Aunt Tan: *holding sobbing Child J* Cher Lim, Child J is not listening. I want to leave him with you.
Child J: *slightly afraid of me* No! I… don’t… want…!
Cher Lim: Come! Child J, sit down here with me in my class!
Child J: *crying* Why… must… I… sit… here?
Cher Lim: Because you never listen to Aunt Tan
Child J: *crying* Yes… I… listen!
Aunt Tan: No! You never listen. *whisper to me that Child J pushed his friend*
Cher Lim: Ok! No more chance! Sit down here for 5minutes!
Child J: *cried more loudly BUT still can connect when I reason with him* Why… must… sit… here… 5minutes?
Cher Lim: Ah… if you don’t sit down now, I will make you sit here for 10minutes!
Child J: *sit unwillingly*
*Aunt Tan left my class*
Cher Lim: Child J, what happened? What did you do?
Child J: *sobbing* I… want… to… study…
Cher Lim: No… I am asking you what did you do just now?
Child J: I… want… to… go… to… class
Cher Lim: Child J, who did you pushed just now?
Child J: somebody
Cher Lim: *tried not to laugh as his expression really funny* Can you push your friend?
Child J: *sob sob* No…
Cher Lim: *talked reasonSsSssss to him*
*minutes later*
Cher Lim: Can you push your friend again?
Child J: No… cannot. *tears in his eyes*
Cher Lim: What if you push your friend again the next time?
Child J: *looked/sound serious* Die
Cher Lim: *very shocked* No! No need to die! If next time you push your friend again then you will come and sit with me until 1230pm ok?
Child J: *sob sob* Ok!

*the day went on as Child J spent his time with his class*
… just before dismissal time, he created another problem. He asked his class teacher to play his VCD but instead of watching, he disturbed his friends and when is time to switch it off, he refused by screaming & crying loudly and even attempted to snatch VCD back from his teacher violently. After minutes of “drama”, he went to his teacher but instead of saying sorry, he said “I can have sweet a not?”. The teacher didn’t reply but got him to ask the principal where he got another round of scoldings again. Super sad face was on him as he received the scoldings and even as he walk towards gate, he looked like he going to burst out crying BUT just when he stepped out, he smiled & screamed his way to the school bus. Haha! This boy ar… he can really made you love and h_t_ him! Haha!
