I don't want to go School....

Today is the 6th day of since anders started going to childcare.

Each day, he will come and tell me..."mommy, i don't want to go school"...

For the last 2 days, i left them in the childcare and set off for work. On Monday, he was alright, even said "good bye" to me when i left for work. On Tuesday, i left them while they were happily playing with the toys in school. Today, he cried when i left him. I felt the pain but i know it is a norm and have experienced this when anthea started childcare back then.

For the last 2 days during lunch time, Siti will go by the childcare to keep anders companied as this was adviced by the childcare. But from observation made by Siti, she mentioned that the teacher kept taking care of the 'old' kids who are already quite seasoned to the school. As for the new kids, they don't seem to want to take care of them.

So last evening, i called the centre and feedbacked this observation and today, they seem to pay more attention to anders and other new kids. Well, as the teachers are the kid's point of comfort contact, they must be able to set the kid on ease and slowly let them adapt.

For anthea, so far she is enjoying the new school and heard that she ate 4 pieces of cheesecake for teabreak yesterday and also she finished all her veggies during lunch... : )

For anders, he is going through the separation anxiety phase so his behaviour at home is changing a little :

a. Easily agitated
b. Cried at every little thing
c. very sticky to me

Well, understanding that he is going throught a lot of stress, i will try to give him lots of Love and Reassurances. Hopefully, my little "soldier" will overcome this phase really soon.

(Noticed that when a child goes to childcare or start school, it is always the mother's time to be stressed and worried. I have been through this once and now twice...asked me for 3rd time, i will say "thanks but no Thanks!!" )
