It’s so beautiful to see your kids growing up confidently doing the things on their own and following the instructions (if these instructions come from their teachers then you know what I am talking about).I feel there is always something new we are learning everyday from our kids.
We have got a new activity on the list or the self-made time-table.
Training or I should say teaching at home !!
I told Aayan to practice the words for his weekly test. He replied,” Yes ! I will do it in a while but I have got something for you too to practice.”
I said,” Ok ! Is it mandarin?“
He replied, “No! Difficult English words and not 5-6 letters but 10 letters or more. ”
“Did you finish your lunch, Mum? Take this sheet and start writing.”
Here we go for the 1st weekly test holding my toddler in another hand I was forced to sit for the test. See mum too has to learn new things every day.
I was just wondering how bad my handwriting is here …
After the test, I asked him,” Why do you think I have to write a test?”
He answered,” You have to keep learning a lot of words as you are not going to the office and not studying.”
He saw my blog post on primary 1 and took my phone and started reading my blog. After reading few sentences he said,” oh ! It’s about me.”
Now I got some very difficult words for you from here.
Next week I will be sitting again for the test for very difficult words. Here is my time-table !!

It’s a nice mother and child bonding. Sometimes it’s fun to allow kids to act like adults, like a teacher. They get to do some bit of role playing. And you’re a cool mom to be his student. 🙂
Its a nice approach for the bonding. Its not always top-down.
This is interesting way of learning & bonding put together! And don’t worry, your handwriting is pretty good and grown up!!!
It’s difficult teaching kids yet we got a better start since it’s starting on a clean slate. They’ll be more receptive to learning once they get their focus.
Great post. You’re creating memories that later on, both of you can look back to and smile. Those are just priceless in life. Work on having more moments like those because children sure do grow up fast. Thank you for sharing this.
Although its like daily routine but this is a time where mother and child bonding time.
That’s good progress for the child! And it’s nice you catalogue everything here and I’m sure your kid would appriciate it next time
Always interesting when the kids reverse their roles and make us parents view things in a different perspective 🙂
cheers, Andy
