Urgent: All about the kids

My immediate attention is study revisions; Insyirah preparing for SA2 and Omera preparing for self-achievement test.

I'm always trying my best to be fair to the kids but I always find myself being one-sided. This is not good.

At 2, Insyirah has recited and recognised all her alphabets and numbers 1 to 20.

Omera, 3 next month, although could recite all the alphabets and numbers 1 to 20, has yet to recognise them well enough. I am worried.

I know I shouldn't be making comparisons at such a young age, but a part of me feels guilty for not being able to spend as much time as I had with Insyirah during Omera's infancy. I was already holding my current job before I gave birth to Omera whereas I was only a part-time tutor when I had Insyirah. Hence, I could spend more time watching educational videos, playing educational games and interacting with Insyirah as part of my brain stimulation program for my kid.

It's not that I did not do the same for Omera, I thought I should have done more.

I realise Omera is playful and she has very minimal attention span. Insyirah, although she had the luxury of toys, tend to be more attentive.

I'm making comparison again.

October is coming. Although I am not too worried about Insyirah sitting for her SA2, I must make sure Insyirah knows everything she learnt in school and beyond that at her fingertips. She has been performing very well in school thus far. My expectation of her achievement is high.

October is coming. It would be Omera's birthday on the 27th. I must make sure she recognises all her alphabets and numbers 1 to 20 by her birthday.

Mission starts with immediate effect.

Hi,

I haven't been writing for almost 2 months. I hope to start again on a regular basis.
