It's also my first time to have a child in school.
And so I wrote this letter for the teachers of Kenzo.
Dear Teacher Jenny and Teacher Pia,
Thank you for having Kenzo in your class. I am really praying he could fit in the group even if he is the smallest and the youngest by far J I cannot explain the feeling of seeing my son in school for the first time. It was like he was my baby all the time until today.
However, the scared mommy that I am would like to raise some minor concerns before I totally turn over my son to your care in the next coming 2 hours of everyday. I hope you understand my thoughts as I really have the tendency to become paranoid when it comes to his safety (which I am sure is just a normal feeling of every mom sending her child to school for the first time especially at a very early age).
- Self Care
o Please assist him in putting on and taking off his shoes. Sorry, but I really haven’t trained him on this yet. Kindly try doing it for me, please?
o Washing of hands in the sink. He is too short to reach the faucet.
o Potty training. He still poops in his diaper and when this happens in another place, he isolates himself from the group until he sees his yaya. When you feel he has pooped, please call his attention in private and tell his yaya to clean him up. Kenzo is very conscious with anything that is unclean and unpleasant to the smell.
o He is still learning to eat by himself.
- Discipline
o I understand that there will be some occasions that would require him discipline. May I request you to please talk to him in private and in a gentle manner to correct his misdeed as it has been proven effective that way as practiced in our home.
- Bully vs Bullied
o The one thing that scares me the most especially because he is mixed with bigger and older boys. I am scared for him to experience physical hurts (like being spanked, pushed very hardly, stabbed by a pencil etc.) Thus my extra request for you to please keep an eye on him all the time while he is too young to protect his self yet.
- Meal time
o Until he is ready to do it on his own, kindly extend assistance to him during meal time.
I hope my concerns will help you deal with my son in an easier way. I would also appreciate if you can keep me updated of his behavior in school. Most of all, I hope this could be a good start of a partnership with you in helping my son grow to become a good person.
Sincerely,
Kenzo's Mom
