I find it almost impossible to teach my own kid. Whenever I try, it never turns out well.
Here I am sitting in front of my laptop typing away my grouses while my kid sits facing the balcony, staring into space. Reason being.. she refused to do things when it comes to using her brains and it get me all agitated and worked up. We were happily playing with a new set of playdoh that we got yesterday when I decided to move on to teach or rather go through some numbers with her. Then and there, she decided that she doesn't want to play anymore. She can already easily count 1-10 and sometimes even 11-20 with some help. However she can be very lazy. For instance today. She said she doesn't even know the no. 1. This got me really worked up. How can she not know the no. 1?? She just refused to tell me the no. no matter what I do. So I have decided to ignore her and just do my own stuff.
It has been almost an hour and being the stubborn girl, she just sat and faced the balcony, still refusing to tell me the no. 1. Crying every 5 mins as well. Let's see who will win the battle. I'm not going to let the matter rest until she tells me the no. 1 from her own mouth.
She finally brought the worksheet to tell me the nos. 1-8. So i won the battle. She could have happily sat on the sofa, snacking and watching TV. But she chose to spend her morning crying her eyes out. Too bad for her. She is so exhausted now, she'll probably just go to sleep after lunch. Of course I'm not complaining though hahah. Even better for me!
