As a mother, what would you do if your child is left behind by her/his friend because he/she is very pasif or timid?. She don't really interract with her friends, do not or unwilling to participate in her class unless she has to and sooooooo dependant on me.
Some would say that it is normal for kids to behave like that and stay in their own world and parents would just let it be like that with hope that one day things would be better and their child would be a grown up, independant and able to communicate well.
As for myself, I decided to do something. Being Oyin an only child, there are certain thing that we as parent (or me as her mother) has to force her to do it. Like swimming. If I were to listen to her, she won't be able to swim until today.
To improve her situation I decided to sent her to a speech and drama class. In this class, she is learning to speak up her mind and polish her english at the same time. Since this is a one to one class, she gets all the attention and more wiling to communicate with her teacher.
Even after attending classes, there are still a lot of room for improvement. At least she does not keep to herself anymore and is more willing to meet new friends especially in the pool.
Hopefully, she will be even better when she starts her standard one next year....
