Get well soon

This is the 3rd time Aston has swollen eyelids. He did not attend school today. Funny thing is before I say ok you stay at home to rest, he raced and told me yeah, so I won't go school today, right ? Is school so boring or home is more fun for you ?
I think I know the answers , that is, home is more fun and it's natural children dread school. Cannot let teachers know otherwise they will be upset and disappointed.

Too fast too furious

Mummy expects her children be obedient, listen to instructions and cannot be rude wherever all possible. Naturally, parents also pin hopes on children to be good in studies and if children like Aston is academically good, then his EQ should be equally good. Each child is different, I know. Mummy & daddy is given a big challenge to work on a challenging boy which is Aston. Poor EQ. He is often getting canes strokes from us and this makes mummy very sad. We hope to spare the rod, since the day it started it become quite difficult to stop it.

For many many times and for quite a while, mummy is always so angry with the naughty things Aston did, not listening, whines alot, cries alot and often commented by people why he is so naughty.

We are often too furious with him and punish him. This will bring out many negative behaviours on Aston as slowly he will turn to become rebellious and we will be even more raged. We do not want this to happen. We want to step up on his EQ and reduce parents' too fast too furious attitude.

Eagerly, we decided to discuss the topic on EQ with teachers on last saturday's PARENTS-TEACHER-CONFERENCE. I told Ms Fion about it and she told me and update me that they are not professionally trained on EQ and cannot help much in offering solutions and methods to improve on Aston. From what I learn from her, they can guide him & encourage him but the substaining efforts still relies on parents. They can only adopt parents' suggestions & work on them. This has then led Mummy to realise school do not teach everything, school do not shape a child's character and we parents must really do something to salvage the family tension now.

Before mummy start to check on EQ courses to attend, I will start off to read these books and hope to gain good advices and use them on Aston.
1. How to raise a child with a high EQ - a parent's guide to emotional intelligence
2. The secret language of children - how to understand what your kids are really saying.
