Weekly Review and School Wrap

There are indeed many surprises once Eeanne goes to school, mommy is really under stress...Besides thinking on what to prepare for Eeanne's lunch box, mommy needs to handle Eeanne's emotion and to dig info from her to know what happen in school..Whatever Eeanne told mommy about her school life can really makes mommy's heartbeat pumping rigorously! Sometimes Eeanne just didn't want to tell mommy daddy in details on what she did in school and this really creates tension and insecure especially to mommy.:-(

Monday:
Things went smoothly and Eeanne was steadily performed on her first day to school.

Tuesday:
As usual mommy trying to dig info and get to know what had happened in school and what did Eeanne learn that day. Thus mommy found out the programs are playing materials, singing (something about lion) and story telling.
On 2nd day to school, teacher already feedback to mommy that Eeanne is so....talkative and always has so much to tell...:-/ Everytime teacher told a story, then Eeanne kept interrupting with her own story telling until teacher had to call for a stop! Luckily at least Eeanne still may abide to teacher's instruction. Then teacher commented that during their Monday ice breaking, perhaps it took too long on the session, suddenly Eeanne said "teacher...sitting here and nothing to do, very boring....." :-/

Wednesday:
Bento lunch box that mommy made for Eeanne, thanks for auntie Leona's suggestion and auntie Alice's blog to show the example on what to prepare for kid's lunch box. Finally mommy made this which suppose to be the snowman, but it turned up more like a bird! haha.

So what had happened today in school?

Today Eeanne gave mommy daddy a heart sick when mommy daddy heard about this. When Eeanne broke this news to us, it was at night before going to sleep, and we started to interviewed Eeanne to get more info, then from what Eeanne had described, it seemed that Eeanne was sitting alone and suddenly a boy just come forward and gave her a hard slap on the shoulder and then she burst out crying. The whole story was so real and mommy daddy started to get worry and thinking to bring up this issue to teacher's attention tomorrow.
Unfortunately on the next day, when mommy told teacher the whole story, teacher gave mommy a weird look and said "nope...she didn't cry at all yesterday...instead very happy, and we didn't see anyone beat her...." So in front of the teacher, mommy started to confront Eeanne to tell the truth but she just kept diverting to other topics and pretended that she is not aware on what we are talking about. Oh! Oh! My girl was creating her own imaginary story again! It made mommy looked like a fool to ask the teacher about the "creation" issue. This incident really made mommy's heart sink deep into the sea bed, since when Eeanne know how to tell a big lie and treat it so....real. To comfort mommy, teacher said kids like to use their strong imagination to make their own story, and mommy wonders how many kids really behave this way....please he..ee..lp!

Thursday:
Today Eeanne was punished by the teacher! Oh no.....
After school today, Eeanne didn't mention anything about the school. But later on mommy get to know from kakak that Eeanne quietly told kakak that she doesn't want to go to school! So mommy casually asked the reason from Eeanne, then Eeanne just answered "I don't want to go to school, it is no fun"...oh oh...what kind of fun is Eeanne looking for? Mommy suspected something might be happened in school, after a long long pursuading, then only Eeanne confessed that she was scolded by the teacher but reluctant to expose the real scenario. So initially mommy thought maybe it was just a small event that teacher might have raised up the voice to control the whatever incident happened. Then mommy tried to explain to Eeanne that teacher will only scold if the student had done something wrong, but yet Eeanne didn't want to confess her fault. Furthermore Eeanne looked absolutely normal as her usual self and went to sleep.

Friday:
Early in the morning while dressing up Eeanne, suddenly she mentioned again "I don't want to go to school, teacher scold". Again mommy tried to explained the same thing and assure her that if she is good, teacher will not scold her anymore.
So as usual we walked across the road and reached the school gate. Then suddenly teacher asked whether Eeanne has mentioned anything to mommy, oh this question posted by the teacher really taken mommy aback. Then slowly the whole story revealed.
Eeanne brought her daily bad playing habit of taking all things on floor to school, so when she took out all playing materials and made a mess on the floor, she was asked by the teacher to put back and play one thing at a time. Stubbornly Eeanne ignore the instruction and ended up with teacher's reprimand. And knowing on her own mistake, she was reluctant to say sorry which teacher insisted, as usual Eeanne kept diverting her talk when being asked to apologise, after forcing by the teacher, she ended up crying and being punished to sit on the chair at the corner near to teacher:-( According to teacher, Eeanne cried for quite a long time...(oh so sakit hati to hear this, sob sob)
When teacher told the whole story to mommy with Eeanne waiting in the car, she was so cunning by winding down the car screen trying to eavesdrop on our conversation, knowing that she was being complaint...:-/
So in order not to further question Eeanne, mommy wanted to temporary put down this topic discussion until the night to find the opportunity to counsel Eeanne.
That night daddy and mommy casually brought out the topic to dig info from Eeanne, but she was really smart to divert our questions and finally said "I don't want to talk about this topic anymore". Somehow mommy realise that Eeanne is aware on her mistake and felt guilty, she is kind of protecting her own face and do not want to reveal her fault, but somehow in mommy's persistent quiry, she was once softly and guiltily burst out "I won't do "this" again" (but still didn't want to mention what is the actual case)

After this incident, mommy started to get worry on Eeanne's behaviour, her self-esteem and egoism. All this while, Eeanne is getting what she wants and never been let down. Now perhaps mommy really needs more parenting education to learn how to handle Eeanne's emotion when she is being rejected or reprimanded by others. It is quite hard to face the fact for mommy, but anyhow this has to be cold heartedly let go rather than being protective which is for Eeanne's good to get disciplined.

I also agree that egoism in children(specially for those with high self-esteem and confidence) is really hard to deal with. My girl was those who really proud of herself too, recently she experienced a drastic mood changes after she found out in reality there's still lots of things that she doesn't know and she is not capable off!:(

You too, good luck and all the best!

Egoism is hard to handle though, furthermore Eeanne is an only child. But you'll find way to handle it I believe. Even I'm not a parent, but I like to buy a child physiology books to know how to handle my lil bro's tantrum and manners, it help me. Maybe some books will help you to gain more knowledge about child physiology to handle if this kind of case happen.

Thanks Alice and Angie for your comfort and advice. You are right, think I really need more parenting counselling course to learn how to handle Eeanne's egoism.
