Things were abit more serious on this day… More of the tricky stuff and understanding more about being a Kindergarden teacher and the roles and responsibilities of teaching the kids 
There are the happy moments and there are the sad moments…
Seriously I never thought the way I handle kids is very much like my dog training, except that kids have more expressions and vocal about things around them.
And towards the end of the day, I’ve met a Filipino kid who is so attached to his home that once he became sleepy and lethargic, he began looking for his mummy. I understood from the teacher that it has always been the grandparents who brought him to class only the first day that the mummy brought him there to register and introduce to the kindergarden :|
The mistake I made was that I gave more than empathy towards this kid that he cling onto me and sought comfort with me. I was busy coaxing him that I fail to realise this until the Principal Mrs Chong stepped in and asked what’s wrong. Then it became a little too late to withdraw myself from him. BTW, his name is Josh. cute kid just that he is too attached and lethargic that he demonstrated such behaviour. The teacher Ms Maggie was also puzzled that Josh was a little jumpy today. No one disturbed him, and he just snapped like that :|
Luckily Mrs Chong suggested to distract him with paintings and Josh calmed down by focusing on drawing Orangy paintings. Josh wanted to break away but I convinced him to stay on the drawings and drew, starting with smiley faces of simple 3 strokes, then to just some abstract drawings.
Hope I will take note of such things in the future
