hi! thanks sa reply... pareho tayong newbie. you know what this time she is improving, nagpapaiwan na cia sa loob ng classroom and some of the activities nag paparticipate cia, though there are still times na she will told me that she does'nt want to go to school anymore, i'l just talk to her or i'l tell her na we will not going to her school but in her tita's house instead, pero sa school ko pa rin cia dadalhin, iiyak sya pero wala na cia magagawa. pero sabi naman ng mga teacher sa school nila ok lang daw yung ganon attitude but eventually she'll used to it esp pag everyday cia pumapasok. so far happy naman ako atleast diba nag improove cia, no need for dev. ped.
re: sa school ur right expensive nga, like in her school it's a totally play and learning school, they incorporate their teaching with dancing, singing, and playing. the teachers are teaching the kids also how to groom themselves, so when school is done once they go out of the classroom you'll see that they are clean, mabango hindi amoy maasim sa kalalaro, so ok talaga cia for me. however my kamahalan pero kc naisip ko un lang yung way for me siguro na ma improove yung social skill niya, since im working at night and my time is very limited para ipasyal ko pa sya everyday sa mall or sa iba iba place para maka-meet ng other kids diba, but i know there are some ways pa din, but for me applicable yung sending her at school w/c is good naman, siguro doble kayod na lang.....
my advice nama sau re: tantrums, my nabasa kc ako article sa isang parenting magz
Toddler: Tantrums
1. What causes tantrums?
Tantrums don't happen because toddlers are wilful and disobedient, or because you have raised a dreadful child! They simply occur because toddlers haven't learned to accept frustration. When they want to do something but can't, they are overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness and dissatisfaction. The tantrum is simply a release of those feelings. It might help to know that tantrums are common among toddlers. It's estimated that the majority of 2-year-olds have a tantrum at least once a week, which may last from 15 to 30 minutes.
2. Preventing tantrums
There are certain steps you can take to help reduce tantrums. Here are some techniques that might help ward off your child's next tantrum:
* Limit your toddler's access to toys and activities that are fascinating but too difficult for his age.
* Watch for fatigue and make sure your child has adequate rest.
* Look out for signs of over stimulation and when they occur switch the child to a calmer activity.
* Try to keep "no's" and "don'ts" to a minimum. Instead of "no's" offer distractions and alternatives: Show how to smell the flowers instead of picking them, for example.
3. Getting through a tantrum
Tantrums will end sooner if you simply let them run their course. While it's going on, your toddler needs a sense of your calm control to feel safe. So, try to remember that the tantrum serves a purpose. It's a release of rage caused by feelings of frustration, not hostility.
Sometimes a toddler needs to be left alone in a time out–but never out of sight– and just for a short while. At other times it helps to simply hold the upset child in a gentle and loving embrace. If a tantrum happens in public, it's a good idea to take your toddler to some quiet, relatively private spot until tempers cool.
4. Keep your cool, mom
One of the most difficult challenges is to keep calm in the face of a small child's uncontrolled fury. Yet an angry reaction from you is sure to make your child's tantrum even worse.
As your toddler comes out of the tantrum, offer reassurance and praise for regaining control. Try to forget the upset and look for cheering things to say. The more stable and positive you can be during and after tantrums, the easier it will be for your child to control outbursts of temper as life goes on.
hope this will help. thanks! GOD BLESS!!!
