Preparing for Primary One- (The 2nd time around)

Primary 1 series 2012

Last year I wrote a Preparing for Primary One based on my experience with my elder boy who is currently in Primary 2 this year.

The experience I had with him differs greatly from the experiences that I am currently having with my #2- Doggie boy. Both boys have different learning abilities and styles of learning. What worked with Monkey boy doesn’t work as well with Doggie boy this time around.

In the upcoming  8 part series I will be featuring the following

  • How I am preparing Doggie boy in his academics
  • Physical and mental preparations  which you can do with your child to get him up to speed
  • How to prepare yourself  mentally as a parent of a child who is going to Primary One
  • Guest post from two mums who have kids currently in Primary One
  • Guest post from a ex-school teacher.

Meanwhile I am leaving you to read up how I had prepared  Monkey boy through Primary One last year.

My Rays of Sunshine this Monday

My family

Who are your motivators? What gets you up when you are feeling down and depressed?

Some days the sky seems gloomy and it can be a drag to get out of bed. However when I see the smiles on the faces of the kids and R it forces me to keep moving even though I feel otherwise. They are my strength and source of inspiration. My joy and love. Even though it can be trying at times communicating with them and trying to get my point of view across. To know that they appreciate and value whatever I have done in their best interest is payment enough for me to keep on going.

Receiving a hug or a kiss from any one of them really spurs me on and give my day a boost.  A ” I love you” or “Thank you mummy” really brightens up my day and put a smile on my fave. It is my adrenaline to get me through the 101 items that I have to tackle on a daily basis.

Do you have rays of sunshine too?
