Life has finally goes back to normal. P no longer showing sign of sepatation anxiety when i dropped her off at CC. The separating anxiety started when Teacher W joined the class, being new teacher with a different approach means there is changes. Different teacher has different ways of dealing with children, being new, the kids will need time to adjust to her. Learning to cope with changes is an important developmental task, even for adult like me. P has adjust to changes after a few week, she has learnt to cope and communicate with Teacher W. P learnt to communicate by singing. Instead of greeting good morning, she will sing 'Good morning, good morning, good morning to u n me, good morning good morning to you, Hello XX, hello YY..... (the list goes on). Before getting off from the car, she will say 'Mommy, cannot cry, i big girl already, later u come pick me up after work right'. This is comforting, she knows that i will be there after work, and the teachers in CC reassure that to her. And she too, will comfort her frens, when they are crying. It is good to see that she is able to sense her frens' emotions.
P is slowly learning to cope with change of environment, we've leave her at family lounge alone in PS without me. She didnt cry, she followed the 大姐姐 and proceed to doing her craftwork and lego. She spend a good 1h in there alone without us. We have bring her out to play with new friends and cousins (whom she has never meet before), to socialise. We have make changes at home, misplacing some of her stuffs on purpose to see her reaction. So far, there is not much of misbehaving behaviour.
In life, we dun often get what we want, we have to make do with what we get. Like Darwin's rule of evolution, survival of the fittest. Only the fittest will survive, those who can cope will win the rat race. Soon she will be changing to a new CC, another new environment, perhaps with no one familiar around and she will need to cope with changes. It will be tough in the beginning but i m sure that she will enjoy in the new CC. To me, having good EQ counts, if u have good EQ you have win half the race.
