i saw Raya's school calendar and was reminded that the parent-teacher conference in her school is near. i asked huband if he could be the one to face the teachers and discuss Raya's performance with him cos i don't want to do it. i am honestly scared :( i am pretty sure that Raya have some amazing qualities such as that she could easily finish a puzzle, she is eager to learn, she wants to play with her classmates, she likes her surroundings to be clean and that she packs away her toys after using them and a lot more. she is one smart kid i know. but i am also aware that there are areas for improvement. who doensn't want her child to be perfect anyway? :) i am scared because her weakness is my weakness [as a parent], right? i know for a fact that she can't yet identify numbers and the alphabet even if she can recite and sing them. and so it is my responsibility to teach her. so if she doesn't know, that means i couldn't teach her well? or my teaching skills are not right for her? or teaching time isn't enough? something isn't right. hmmm... i should exert more, huh? simple things, and yet so hard to teach. its always like that right. the simplest things are the hardest to learn, to teach, to practice. and this is what i call learning from your kids! :)
in the same manner that her achievements will be the reflection of your hardwork, care and "pagtutok"...so don't worry about hearing some points for improvement :) from a teacher's point of view, the PTC is the best avenue for both teacher and parents to help one another for the best interest of the kid :) PTCs are not one-way, you can use that as well to air your concerns (academic wise) or to tell them more about your little one, so they can know her better :) cheer up :) ... it's ideal that both parents are present on PTCs so if ever there is a big concern (which in Raya's case is a very remote possibility) the parents can talk and try to address the problem :) ... sorry ang haba ng comment ko :)
