Today, as usual, brought Tian to mac for breakfast. Then head for his phonics at 11am. Meet up with Yenni and her daughter Shu Xian for lunch. Princeton's favourite playmate. Actually Princeton have got many favourite playmates, haha. He is very mischievous compared to his friends... lol. Had a good chat with Yenni. She was the one who recommended me to I CAN READ. SX joined one month ago, and Yenni regretted she send her in so late. Because right now SX can't name the category for each alphabets, eg: A for Aeroplane, B for Banana, C for Caterpillar etc. I told her it's never too late. Kids nowadays are very bright, fast learners. If we put in abit of efforts, they will pick up in no time.
I never believe in going for numerous courses, and that's it. Leaving it to the teachers to coach. I'll make sure Tian do his revision everyday. Just 10-15minutes will do:) A combination of both will be the most effective. I am not trained nor am i an experts in phonics, speech and drama or reading skills etc. That's why we need to send children for enrichment programs.
When i picked Tian up, the phonics teacher told me that there was a surprised evaluation test last week. I was shocked because i didn't got tian prepared... Then she gave me the result slips, and said, Princeton got full marks:) He could trace independently now, and phonology was good. I felt so consoled, and teacher said to keep it up. Princeton could reply, yes! My mummy said i must study hard. (Felt like crying when he said that)He could say things like, 'mummy i learn many things, next time grow up earn money buy alot of things for u.' And, 'mummy my fingernails long, can help me cut? mummy your one also very long, i help u cut' Though he is really one naughty spolit brat, but he can be lovely at times too. Hope Zhenyu can show more tolerance towards him. Try to see his good points, rather than keep pinpointing his bad ones.
Brought the Lil Ps to JP for dinner. Paris is another active pie. After dinner, she can run and run and we got to chase and chase. It was rather crowded, and we carried her instead. She was screaming loudly, wanted to walk on her own instead. This princess is becoming more demanding. Well, this is part of growing up. Just hope she can learn to listen and follow soon.
