Teachers are special...

[smittenbyu]

The last two days, D was just really upset. She was extra clingy and very sad. She just couldn't express what it was! Apparently a kid at school did something she didn't like and it bothered her. She kept changing what the kid was doing that she didn't like. So, that's unclear. The kid's from another class, a younger one and is 2-2.5yo.

I gently asked her if she informed the teacher, a grown-up, about it, since she couldn't figure out what to do? To which she immediatly perked up as if I had made a joke, "Mommy, teachers are not grown-ups, they are special!"

Teachers are special. Can't blame her though. I remember a bunch of us being blown away seeing our high school teachers at a night club (in Singapore, they let you in at 16 but serve alcohol only at 18) or anywhere else really! lol... didn't think that feeling starts so early!

That's cute...but did she ever tell what was bothering her...

She mentioned a few events but they were from months ago that we resolved with the teacher and the kids. I know it bothers her when kids don't follow rules. We are working with the teacher to get her to speak up/stand up for herself. She is so timid about it (although at home she isn't timid, not one bit!!).

Well everything starts with baby steps...and knowing you I strongly believe she will be fine. Good Luck...

Heh I remember when my teachers would joke about "going to the library" on weekends and it was slang for a bar
