Children...

Children ...well not my own kids ---- I am talking about my nieces and nephews.

My nieces stay with me.  Sometimes have to coach them in their homework. The older one is more disciplined whereas the younger one is naughty (at least I find her to be).

I guess she is a spoilt child since she is the youngest and her mum loves her a lot.  Her mum (my sis in law) always say do not give the child any stress especially in doing homework.  Just let her be.

Well, I don't agree with this statement.  Sure, we only want the child to do and complete whatever homework the school teacher gives her.  If she or he could do that - its good enough. We did not ask her to do more than that. I think its not too much stress on the child.

My this youngest niece - she is active and playful generally.  But when it comes to doing homework, she will find excuses like saying later then do or tomorrow then do.  What's this.
She could take 1-2 hours just to do one page of english assessement !

I am always angry when coaching her.  Will shout and scream at her when she did not pay attention to what I said. 

I know I shouldn't shout and scream at her especially when she is young (P1).  I always regretted it after I have done so and tell myself that the next time I shall not shout at her again, but then the next time it happens again.  Well because I am easily became hot=headed !

Tonight the same thing happens again.  She just made me so angry when coaching her with her homework, that halfway through, I walked away and come into my bedroom to write this blog.

Hope I will change my attitude towards this particular niece and she will change her attitude towards me too, especially to be respectful

Come on, be positive and wish things should turn out well...
