teacher at home

It’s not easy to be a teacher. All the teachers we have from the preschool until senior high school, have to have a high ability and responsibility to their student. It’s not just about teaching alphabet, number, counting, physical science, chemist, but also morality and discipline. In preschool teacher need extra patient to face on the kids. Coz this is time for them to play. I understand now, why in most preschool completed with so many toys. Kids like to learn and play. Their learn method is not same with the elementary student or high. They need play, sing, and other activity that can make them understand.

Is the activity at school enough for them? I am happy coz since he has gone to school he has friend now, he has time for play, and learn how to socialize with others. But to make kids learning process success, it’s not enough just hope on the teacher at school. We as parents especially mom, has a big ability for the success. And this I rule at home but not force him. He emulates what he see surrounds him.

Who is our kid teacher at home? Should we pay someone to do this job? It’s ok for them who have much money and little time at home coz they are too busy. What about parents with a little money and have many free times at home. We can save money by taking this job. This is our duty as a mom even we have so many tasks to do.  

Just some minutes to one hour for a day, accompany them learning alphabet, numbers, telling stories, all are good for them. Creativity, and also patient that’s all what we need to be a teacher at home. Kid need courage and also compliment for every achievement they have made. Like what I have written that children are sponges, they emulate what they see.

I love reading and writing, and my son did that too, I never ask him to do that but it’s his want. He was interested to learn and my job was to accompany him when required. Sometimes I get angry because impatient by seeing him takes time to resolve some sum like two plus two, or something else. But he is still learning, and it’s not right if i have to shout. What I do then, leave it for a moment to calm my emotions, and might be able to start learning again a few hours later, when I feel calm.

Sometimes when I have finished my housework, like washing dishes my children like to help and at first was angry, because he can get dirty and wet, but finally I leave because I think he can learn to help and be independent in the end.

So as mom I am happy to do all that. See what I my son do right now, learning write and read with his own will, when he feel bore toys then he will look for pencil, papers or book, and start to learn. I am happy, because I don’t need to force him, no shout, no violence all happen naturally. And I hope this will be his good habit forever…hopefully
