How To Help Your Kid To Learn?

I did a very mummy thing today! I attended a parenting talk! hahaha...

One of my CG members is the principal of Glory Joy Childcare Centrem and she invited me to a talk today. There were 2 speakers - 1 from MCYS and 1 from Touch Community Centre. I don't know why, but I was actually looking forward to attending it!

This is Glory Joy Childcare Centre!

While I listened to the talk, Joey was in the play area. So proud of her, she was by herself for the whole 3 hours! When I dropped her off, she didn't whine or resist much. When I explained that I would come back for her later, she said Yes! and went to join the kids. Hee..

Joey coloured a lion head while she was there!

I quite enjoyed the talks even though it lasted 3 hours. Especially from the 1st speaker, who is a Primary school teacher specialising in teaching difficult kids or kids with special learning needs such as those who are diagnosed with dyslexia, or Attention-deficit Hyperactive Deficiency, etc. She shared many of her experiences including those of her own and her students. I learnt alot of things, especially in the area of motivating and punishing kids. Joey may still be young now, but there are so many things I must take note now, when I am praising her, and when I discipline her.

Suddenly, I realised that it's beneficial to attend more of such talks, to empower myself as a mummy. Our kids' future and who he/she grows up to be, really depends on how well we bring them up. =)
