This Wednesday, Wen Jia went back to the kindergarten that she used to study for 1 month in Feb.
The reason she quit the previous attemp was because she was too attached to mum that she couldn't even see her mum went out of sight.
We realised that that wasn't an ideal time for schooling yet for Wen Jia as she was not ready.
Over the last few weeks, we noticed that she has made great improvement in wanting to mix around with other kids. She has been doing OK when left alone with my neighbour's kids. That implied she was then more ready than before in making herself detached from mum, at least for a few hours.
On her first day of schooling, we left the "kakak" with her. She was a bit shy when facing other kids on her first day, but she did not cry. She has been asking for Mummy but was managed to be pacified by toys and activities.
She has gained more and more confidence on her second and third days. On her third day, the teachers put "kakak" out of her visible range and amazingly she was fine without even asking to be in company of "kakak"
We will be trying to let her alone in the kindergarten without "kakak" next week.
I know now my girl has grown up, so fast that we didn't even realize that.
By the way, we are not ready yet to let her be in school for full day. She is now with the school for 3 hours only and this is going to be the case for some time.
