From Hmph! Hmph! to Yay!

The past few weeks, Timmy has been telling me that he doesn't wanna go to school.
That happened almost every morning.
He woke up fine, brushed teeth fine, getting dressed fine....
until we reached the school gate.

He would be stuck there for few minutes or so...
Resisting to get in the school.

There were some teachers who stand right in front of the gate to check the kids' temperature and give antiseptic to clean their hands.

Apparently, Timmy hated this ritual.
So...he refused to get in.

However, once he passed through the gate, he is a happy go lucky boy again.

Just the gate is the hurdle!

I asked the teachers how he is in the class room, the teachers said that he is alright and fine in the class.

Tried talking to Timmy and asked him why he would stuck in front of the gate.
He told me that he doesn't like the 'white white teachers' there.
Hmmmmm...

I tried all the methods...from talking to him calmly, explaining the reasons why he needs to go to school, reading books about school, making reward chart, talking and talking and talking, till getting angry.... Grrrr...

Finally today it works!
He passed through the gate smoothly, then wave good bye Mommy, go up the stairs by himself with his backpack on his shoulder.

There you go my boy!
Fiuh! Finally!
