It's time for parents to get children result and time for parents to know if parents have done good effort with good result in teaching and guiding children to be a better one.
So yesterday I went to the school to get 'my' report card.
A parenting talk from the school before collecting the report card. Like this school coz the teachers not only focus on academic results but the building up of good characters of children and grooming of the children interest and talent.
'Parents shouldn't bring children go travelling during school day' as the headmistress said, we might save the travelling cost by travelling on non peak season, but we gonna lose so many lessons up the children eg children confused on prioritising important responsibility to less important things. When they grow up, they might have issue in managing their schedule and responsibilities. Good point taken.
Talking about guiding children in managing their daily lives and doing house work. Got shock on the news sharing an university student commit suicide because of hostel mates teasing the boy for not knowing how to wash his own panty by himself. Yes, nowadays, children have maid or mother as maid to take care the basic needs and responsibility of the children. Till the extend, children don't know how to handle themselves when there is no mother or maid around them. The stress level handling has caused many sad cases happen too.
Long queue at the corridor waiting for children result. Guess, many parents waiting to know how their children behave in the school, how are the results :) anyhow, to me, if the parents are willing to come and wait for hours for the report card, they love their children. Just the matter, not all children know what children want, and the right way of teaching their beloved children.
I saw a standard 6 big boy was sobbing, the mother non stop ranting 'you better change, or else no one will friend with you, then you gonna be a loser. No future for you. You better thinking properly' I feel sad to see the boy sobbing till face and eyes is pinky reddish. Words and expression from the mother, to me, is hurting. How I feel to go and give the boy a hug. I feel him not feeling loved. How sad it is when mother tell you, you gonna have no friend and no people like you. The mother was fierce. After talking to the boy, she met her friend, again, the mother shared her angry stories with the auntie... I feel sorry for this..Was thinking to go to the boy and tell him 'boy, don't get sad, you are not alone, Jesus loves you. He has plan for you. You have eternal love from Him'
This is royee looking at the sobbing boy. I shared this story with children this morning. Royee asked me why I didn't go to tell the boy Jesus loves him. Yes, I feel so sorry for that. I told children, I wanted to do some love note cards and keep in my bag, when there is a situation we want to let people feel loved and heart healing, we can give out the seed of love. Children said they can do that too. Ya, together we spreading love :)
Love to see the 2 gals :)
Nice to have siblings having same memories ^^ they go to the same school, day care center, art class, choir group :) so when they complain about teacher or classmate, can hear 3 of them talking in the same channel ;)
Was planning to take half day leave for the report cards collection. Then it was late for even half day leave. Decided to bring children for an easy but costly outing :p told children let's celebrate! 'My result is no good lo' 'teacher said my attitude no good lo' well, I explained to them, teachers shared your success stories too! We will improve the no so good portion and we gonna have bigger celebration in the year end for greater achievement.
Cute gals.
When we passing by Haagen Dazs ice cream outlet, I told them, one day we will come here to have a try. The boy said expensive la. Well, let's think of a deal. All agreed, by 25dec2014, if we have full attendance for church choir class then we come here for a treat ^^ all happily agreed.
The day end with Ramadan bazaar food as dinner. When children look at the young girl helping the mother selling coconut drink, I told them, mummy was thinking to get a weekend food stall so we can sell something and learn to do business. They are supportive on this idea 'mummy we can sell handmade items' 'muffins' mummy said maybe fresh fruits from grandpama house ^^
Am thankful to have very supporting and outgoing children ^^ I told them when come to age of 16, together we outreach to foreign countries and perform short missionaries and helping the needy. They said ok. The way they answer and promise like the natured adults :D
Love my children and love the role of being a mother. Learning and growing with the children, making me a better person :)
