However, on the 3rd night, she started to lose control of herself and lamented that she didn't want bathing in the school, didn't want eating and blah blah blah. She didn't want to study at school but at home. There was no tantrums but sadness in her voice. She pleaded the whole night to stop schooling. When asked why, she came up with stories like 'A girl bullied her' (this is actually Daddy's fault for asking "Did anyone bully you?") and 'The teacher bullied her'.
The next morning, she was whining as expected. I was afraid that she would cause problems for my dad(1st time for him) so I asked Daddy to be late for work to send Jerilyn on that particular day. I, on the other hand, must leave home early for invigilation duty on that day. That night, I made 2 things clear to her:
- She DOESN'T have to go to school during the weekends
- Whether she cries or not, she still have to attend classes. No point being unhappy
After a long weekend, she whined a bit on Monday. Maybe because she was jolted up from her snooze.
Nevertheless, I am proud she hasn't made a scene in kindy so far. Even though she whines, it's so soft that Jesslyn never gets a rude awakening.
