Go home...

Right from the beginning of the school term, Little Child N has no problem adapting to the school culture/routine. She was so steady that she helped her peers and even asked the crying-peers not to cry.

But after being sick and mc for a week, Little Child N returned with a bad & crying mode. Almost everyday (at least for now), she will enter the school crying and will cling on tight to Ah Ma. As she tends to cry till vomit, Ah Ma was asked to stay with her throughout.

Started last Fri and today, we “take it by force” but of course asked the Ah Ma to hang around but hide from Little Child N.

Little Child N cry big time when I took her away from Ah Ma but was later calmed down quickly and much easily. This is one thing encouraging, to meet an easy-to-coax child. You be amazed there can be some who can be hard-to-coax, either due to language barrier or just refuse-to.

Both last Fri & today I was with her or I should say, she was with me.
She can be playing with her peers but the moment she turned and don’t see me, she will cry big time - good and bad actually.
