Parent Teacher Conference

Last Saturday was the first time I attend Parent-Teacher Conference at Dec's childcare. This is a session whereby the teachers will update the parents on the development of the kids. Parents are also shown the works of the children.

Let me share with all what was observed of him by the child care teachers.

1) He always dozed off during assembly time hugging his blankie.

Explanation from the mum : This is because this little monkey always sleeps after 12mn. Anytime before that is quite impossible as the moment we off the bedroom lights, he'll start protesting and no amount of comforting can make him stop.

If we forced him to lie down on the bed, he'll spring up and slide of the bed the next momen...

2) He’s not picky when it comes to food.
????? from the mum : At home he is forever picky and he's always uttering one of these "我不要菜， 我不要肉， 我不要饭”

3) He's always the first to fall asleep and the last to wake up during nap time.

Explanation from the mum : It’s probably due to the explanation as mentioned in point 1. He usually sleeps after 12mn. At home on weekends, he’s usually the last to sleep and the first to wake up the next morning. The exact opposite…..

4) He’s better at interaction now. When he first joined, he played the observer role. Other todds play, he watched or played alone. Now he’ll initiate play with his classmates.

Observations from the mum : Agree, better at initiating. So much so that at playground, when he spots another kid, even those much older and especially girls, he’ll go close to them and start flashing his cheeky smile and attempt to make friends.

He’s also learnt his friends’ name as I often hear him utter : bye bye Zhi Zhi, bye bye Max, bye bye “Lyan” ( I think should be either Ryan or Bryan) while he’s playing with his toys.


5) He loves songs and music.
Observations from the mum : Agree, he started screaming “泥娃娃” non stop one night and he’s not stopped since. He’ll scream that a few times a day and that’s about all he knows out of the whole song.
Though he loves songs and music, he’s not as articulate as little Zara He can’t really catch the tune and lyrics yet except for “泥娃娃” and “little star”.

6) There are a lot of other things which he needs improvement on. E.g. the ability to express hunger, toilet training, hand eye coordination etc. Too many, I can’t really remember.

7) Teacher shared that he’s able to express his frustration by screaming when a fellow classmates snatched his toys. That I don’t dispute :p

8)I was also shown some of his artwork. Nothing fantastic, mostly assisted by the teachers. Coloring was haywire hahahahha. Anyway, I’m not gonna lost sleep over those as I believe he’ll pick those up at his own pace. The important thing is he enjoys the company of his little friends and teachers.

9) I was also shown a pic of him building blocks. I must say that he’s improved. Formerly when we gave him blocks, he’ll just throw them all around, now, he’s able to build upwards and sideways too. He’ll construct this long line of blocks and tell me :”Mummy see?? MRT!” *clap clap*

10) I’ve observed that he’s picked up mandarin from his centre. I’m happy about it.


I am looking forward to the next PTC to see how else he’s developing.
