I am not a very patient person. All of my friends know this. But when Dylan and Jennan came along, I think I did quite well in my effort to change. Still, sometimes emotions get the better of me and I lose my cool. One of those times is when I have to coach Dylan in his reading. I heard of people saying that we can never teach our own kids. I wanted to prove this statement wrong… but only to find it’s so so so true (at least for me).
Thankfully Dylan is quite sensible. After each lesson with me, I will explain to him why I was upset and also not forgetting to praise him that he has improved. It can really go a long way. Now he is in K2. I really cannot imagine how things will be like when he goes to primary school next year…
