Direct Intervention

Amidst all the dramas, I seriously enjoy direct interventions with the kids.

These are the little things that kids do that melt my heart:

When being told that I wouldn't be seeing Child A till the week after, he was disappointed and said,

"Huh, why?"

In another kindergarten, after I pinned 2 awards (that I hand-made) onto a boy's shirt, he told his mum in mandarin,

"Mummy, don't wash this okay?"

And while pinning the award onto his shirt, other than worrying that he would get poke by the pin, he asked me to be careful of my fingers.

At the end of the day, I am glad that all, if not most, of my kids enjoyed my sessions. I guess it's all that matters to me.

Sometimes children are the most truthful and real people.
