I AM STRUGGLING TO TEACH

A Big HELLO  to all my iland friends. I am posting a blog after a long time. I was just busy with the family life and travelling from one place to another. These days I was bit more on a spiritual side and some of the  things which were bothering me are now over and I took a sigh of relief. I am praying to God to shower his blessings on me always.

Now I have introduced writing to my little one and believe me it is just like I am learning to write for the first time. He is not at all interested in writing. He is not ready to hold the pencil as I am saying  and instead he draw some funny lines across the pages. He is more happy in drawing the shapes , like circle and triangles, squares and rectangle. His favourite alphabet is ‘A’ and ‘O’ because there is a triangle and a circle in it.

I wonder what my parents must have gone through while introducing writing to me.  Today if I can write it is just because of my parents…………..so true and it is the fact that parents are the first and the best teachers but it is so very hard. Nowdays, instead of humming my favourite bollywood numbers while working, I am singing the nursery rhymes so that he will pick it from there…. and believe me friends the idea  is working. While playing he has learned to recognize numbers and alphabets but what about writing?

Even now he gets annoyed of me getting after him with the ‘join the dots’ books and ran from my sight. And now to make me more and more annoyed says the thins intentionally wrong like 20 comes after 9. Oh dear! thats the only thing I could say after that although  I know he is pretending of not knowing.

I wonder what will happen when it comes to write the ‘Hindi ke akshar’. Do let me know the suggestions so that writing will be an interesting act for him and do cross your fingers that soon he will find writing fun.

It is really hard to be a teacher and hats off to all the teachers. Let me take this opportunity to thanks my parents for their patience and love while making me learn the things.

    Teachers are amazing people as i too learned it when i volunteered at my son’’s school. Patient, persistent people! Keep practicing your nursery rhymes and try letting your child write with his index finger on the sand. It seems it is very good to let him get the feel before doing it in paper. Next, please be patient and always be a positive support for him. They will learn.

    Wht a gr8 lyricst has wrote…
    Yeh daulat bhi lelo, yeh shoharat bhi lelo
    Bhale cheen lo, mujhse meri jawani
    Magar mujhko lautado bachpan ka saawan
    Woh kagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani

    hi neetu! we(parent) want our children to be successful in all tasks obviously. but these kids r too small to follow the rules (lines) i feel. so tiny hands n so delicate fingers!!! tell me how can they hold n have tht grip??? in stead u give him clay - n u both make some alphabets n figure while playing. it will help his fingers to be strong enough at this age…… and one more thing just enjoy his childhood n yr motherhood with him - u ll miss later on dear……god bless u all!
