Ok I am back.
Reason : Too many information . Need an avenue to display . haha
Talitha has grown up so much. There are so many things she is up to now. So many things we are beginning or rather have already started to do Together. I am no longer dealing with a new born .. she has got a mind of her own, a certain way she wants to do her stuff. I am learning to accept this fact. Though, it is a great pleasure to see it, as a new parent the pace is pretty fast. Sometimes, I get lost. Thought i should “pen” down the journey.
Just to keep a remembrance . It would def be a memory lane to embrace in my golden years.
Talitha has been attending playgroup since she turned 18months(July 2010) in a neighbourhood enrichment centre . The initial stage was a lil tough but soon she surpassed the anxiety and settled in the 2 hour playgroup. Around October, I received a call from the childcare centre in my workplace that there is a vacancy for Talitha. Delighted ! I took up the offer. The 1 month was terrible. I had to put up with so many issues. I shall elaborate in another post if i have time. I felt she was not a happy child at all in that 1 month she was there. Childhood is all about happiness is it not? In this case, that 1 month, I think I caused her unhappiness. I feel guilty till today. While people said, at least you tried .. it made me feel only slightly better. Yes . I tried. Now I am miles richer knowing my daughter. I am glad I made a swift decision . Nothing beats peace . People also convinced me she will get better as days passed by. The usual routined lifestyle of a childcare product, knowing my daughter, realising the extreme alertness she has . Trust me …. the teachers had a bloody hard time coping with her. While the rest of the kids adjusted to the routines, Talitha refused to be contained. She knew what we were exactly doing to her. In short, my daughter is not a childcare material.
So I explored .
To be frank, I am a great fan of Homeschooling. It is not an option as I am working full time with shifts. Social Interaction is equally important so she needs to mingle around for that . But I strongly believe there are tons of things that can be done at home to enhance a child’s growing mind. Mum helps me a great deal actually. Other than that, I look around everywhere for ideas. Here, I wish to compile the fun activities I do with Talitha . Every Step i put here, I am learning as well together with my tot…… an Evolved Mind
