HOW TO MAKE CHILDREN HAPPY

Children are happy by nature. The people they come in contact with daily change their attitude. Friends, teachers, relatives, and especially television influence a child's behavior. Parents are responsible for their children's welfare as well as their attitude. Children will be happy if their environment is happy. Parents are responsible for keeping their children happy. Don't get discouraged. It can be easier than you think. Your child's happiness really depends on your attitude.

What Parent Should Do

1. Your children need you to be the boss, especially teenagers. Although they may act like they know everything, you know that they do not. Tell your children when they do wrong and correct them. Punish them if necessary. Do not let them be in charge

2. Be a parent, not a friend. Sometimes parents act like a child to get their child to like them. If you act like a child, you will be viewed as a child. Your children will not respect you. Your children need you to be a parent worse than they need you to be a friend

3. Never be mean. Children need parents to explain their actions. Do not give the reason "because I said so". Have a reason for your decisions. A happy child is one who understands why they can't do certain things. Always listen to your children. If you give a child attention when they want it they will be happy. Never ignore your child

4. Love, discipline, and respect will make a child happier than any gift. If you live a child with these thing they will return the love and respect to you

5. Teach them moral and religion dicipline so they can grow up to be humble and kind hearted.

Hari Khamis - Hari Merah Kuning

Hari Merah Kuning ialah pada tiap-tiap hari Khamis sempena menghormati bendera negeri Selangor. Takkkk....ini ialah uniform sukan tadika ini.

Dari depan ke belakang, Niswah, Lai Teng, Haris, Lai Mun dan Fatma. Mari kita bergayut....

Si kembar Nina dan Nani. Wahhhh! seronoknya bergayut....dalam suka-suka masih ada malu-malu. Yang di depan tu Nani dan yang terselit tu Nina. Nampak tak tag nama pada Nina dan Nani? Bukan apa takut cikgu keliru......tapi sebab tengok mereka hari-hari dah boleh bezakan, yang mana satu Nina dan yang mana satu Nani. Kalau tengok dari depan Nani ada tahi lalat di atas bibir. Kalau tengok dari belakang pula Nani lebih tinggi dari Nina...kedua-duanya kalau tersenyum memang manis macam gula-gula. Mereka berdua ni pandai betul bermain hula-hoop, sambil berjalan, sambil melutut hula-hoopnya tetap berpusing...kat lutut pun boleh..

Masa kita sekolah-sekolah dulu pun pandai jugak main hula-hoop tapi sekarang pinggang dah kerasla...tapi masih maintain ramping lagi....hehehe...
Wah! Shaffiq anak Cikgu Mel memang suka berkawan dan kelakar orangnya. Setiap pagi dialah orang pertama yang ucap ' Good Morning Teacher Layli' walaupun cikgunya tak sampai pagar sekolah pun lagi. ' Good Morning Shaffiq'. Sebelahnya ialah Jay-Jay ( berasal dari Sabah...ehh...ehh..kenapa tak pakai baju sukan ni?) dan yang di belakang tu ialah Terry ( orang Sabah jugak bah..). Tengok Terry tu......dah basah baju berpeluh......Bila exercise keluar peluh barula badan kita sihat....

Makan time!!! Hari ni semua hadir ke kelas. Takla ramai....... sembilan orang sahaja.

Kalau nak tengok semuanya duduk diam-diam, masa makan ni lah....cikgupun boleh join makan sekali...sebab cikgupun lapar jugak....Nampak tak? kerusi cikgu besar sikit...sebab cikgunya besar sikit dan berat sikit dari murid-muridnya....hehehe...

Walaupun tak ramai, saya dibantu oleh Bibik Bibi untuk menjaga mereka ketika bermain supaya dapat tumpukan perhatian bila mengajar salah seorang dari mereka ' one to one '. Kalau tidak susahlah nak tumpukan perhatian bila mengajar salah seorang dari mereka.....bukan apa kena jaga keselamatan. Taula...kalau budak-budak bermain...

Yang si comel Kamellya tu mesti nak duduk sebelah cikgu jugak-jugak....dah namanya pun budak, cikgu ikutkan saja....Apa yang penting.....Kerjasamaa.....

Welcome to my small world

Let me introduce you to the people in my small world....

For the time being, this is my class of the 4 years old since Teacher Shamsiah is on maternity leave.
We can see Fareez, Erick, Xavier, Qays and Dharmessh taking a break after playing. The weather is good today...
The jolly girls of 1 Malaysia. Standing from the left is Dhivasini, Afiqah, Syarwa, Aisyah, Fatma, Lai Mun and Tanuja. They are in Butterfly class of 5 years old except for Dhivasini and Afiqah. Smile girls......peace......

Dhivasini and Tanuja both are very quiet.

Afiqah, Syarwa and Aisyah always cliks together and take care of each other. How sweet...

Lai Mun is quite moody today after a long holiday of Chinese New Year but she will be fine later.

Fatma and Lai Mun are friends since their are 4 years old.
Later I have a story to tell....about my kindergarten friend.

Morning assembly at 8.30am in the morning. Facing us are the 4 years class. They are taught to make a straight line by putting their hands on their friends shoulder. Mikail doesn't cry anymore. Yes, he's a good boy now....sayang Mikail..

This is Jawi class for 6 years old. Facing us is Asyraaf, Adlina, Erick, ( tutup mulutnya Raziq, nanti masuk lalat!), Danial and Shaffiq. Raziq just joined us this year...so he is keeping up with our method of teaching....

Teacher have homeworks for you...please don't forget to do your homeworks...!!

The little girl is Kamellya (4 years old) who insisted to follow me to the class....or else she will cry. It's okay, give her some time to mix around...she will be fine then.

Since, Danial and Asyraaf are good friends, I decided not to place them next to each other coz they'll have lots of story to tell about........ definately not to me. But both of them are very brilliant, polite and obidient boys. Keep up with the good attitude. Their parents should be proud of them.

I remembered, when I was in my primary school at Sekolah Kebangsaan Jalan Selangor, Petaling Jaya, I always get complaints from my prefect friends saying that this particular girl always breaks the rules and don't listen to them (....in another word....very stubborn) . So, I went to talk to that girl politely and she agreed to follow and do as what was told. My friends wonder why she listened to me and followed what I say. I just smile...................but the truth is she listened to me because Karamjit Kaur ( that's her name ) and I have been friend since we are in the kindergarten...hehehe......

Ahmed Haris Sheikh's Birthday

Haris is giving kniks- knacks to his friends for his birthday on 15th. of January 2011 (correct me if I'm wrong). Line up boys and girls say Happy Birthday and Thank You to Haris.

I can see from his FB Haris is being adored by his family and relatives. That's a good enviroment for a child's bringing up. I can see that he is very helpful and has a very polite attitude when talking. Sometimes he says sorry to me for no reason.

Look how sweet they are during their recess....Kamellyya is having 'mee goreng' , Gautham and Mikail have finished their food but Haris doesn't want to eat today, may be he is full after drinking his strawberry flavoured milk. Kishore is still enjoying his chocolate twiggies.

Please wash your hands after eating boys and girls.....

Being a Kindergarten Teacher

...a career as a kindergarten teacher...after 8 years being a housewife..not bad at all...at least I can still manage to shout once a while......hahaha.....( the experience you master after being a mother of three teens ). That is also the experienced I have when applying for this job.

It is a tough and challenging job actually after being a kindergarten teacher. It is not easy to start a relationship. I mean relationship bonding between a teacher and their students especially when their are at their early stage of life.

But the rewards of seeing eager and curious young mind getting excited about learning and discovering new things are great!

MALAYSIA BOLEH!
