Updates of Jared at School

A couple of peeps have been asking on how J is doing in school.

Well, a lot of toddlers have experienced what we called separation anxiety where they still need our undying support & a fear that we've abandoned them whenever we're not there.

For J's case, it's my mom who has separation anxiety cos she simply cannot let J out of her sight. She will send J to school & then wait outside or the next block until lunch time come before whisking him away to her place in joo chiat.

I know that J is her precious & she's just trying to protect him but in this case, it's actually bad in a way that makes J cannot let go of her too. So she's making the situation worse by constantly caving to his demands.

So for this week, I turn firm & we will drop J in school in the mornings instead.
He sits happily in the car still obliviously of what's coming for him until we turned into the carpark. He recognises the surroundings & immediately starts to whimper. I really feel bad & heartpain when he starts to cry upon handling him over to the teacher. Teacher promises to mms & update me on his progress.

*Hi Jared's mummy. Teacher Hirah here. Jared is having his water break. Attached is a photo of him. Jared is doing great. He stopped crying soon after you left. He seems happy and have been singing to himself.*

I really feel a bit better upon seeing the picture, just have to trust the teacher on her sms i guess.
By the way, he didn't let go of his stinky bear at all, turned a bit black at the end of the day.

He cried again this morning but teacher assures me with mms to say that he's stopped after a while & not to worry.


Got another mms of him during outdoor play.

I showed my mom the pictures to assure her that he's not unhappy in school but she says he might go hungry cos the meal breaks are too far apart & he cannot feed himself well enough. She cannot let her precious grandson goes hungry.

*sigh*

Neverending one.
