2 weeks past since our little Honey started playgroup.
I specially took 2 days leave from the company to accompany Honey to playgroup.
On her 1st day at The Moral ChildCare, Honey's eyes were sticked on me whenever I moved around. She was struggling when the teacher carried her away in my arms. She hits the teacher when they tried to remove her shoes. She became more possesive with her belongings. She cried and whined when her dolly was not around. She started to pull me to a chair and got me to sit down. She wants me to be there with her. All she wants is 'Mummy, be here with me'. But I know, I can't. My presence would stress her even more. The teachers were feeling uncomfortable. But I need to ensure that everything runs smoothly so that I can get back to work on the following. The last thing in my mind was not to over-stressed her. I don't want her to lose interest. I want to keep it that way ... preschool is a place for fun-learning.
I left without her knowing. I know my brain and heart were not functioning at that point in time. My heart was crying. Tears dropped. I can't help it. I know this little girl of ours has grown up. I know deep down in my heart, it's good for her. We are moving on the right track by enrolling her to a playgroup. She is exposing to more fun-loving children of her age.
And guess what, today is her 2nd week at playgroup. Finally, she has learnt to let go. To give mummy a hug and a goodbye kiss before mummy leaves for work. A flying kiss to each other before heading to work. She began to know playgroup was part of her daily routine.
Good to see the improvement.
Well done my little Honey!
