Last Saturday we had been to Adhu’s first parent- teacher meet. I was curious and excited as it was the first one in Junior KG and its been 3+months since she is into the class. Every day she is excited to go to school and I was keen to know to what drives her excitement. But to my surprise, her ma’am stated the following:
As stated by her ma’am
• “Advitha is very playful, not interested in writing, she does not want to sit at a place, always wants to be roaming, but when it comes to dance and music, activities, she comes first. So you should give her writing practice, pamper her less, she should get serious about writing and other academic stuff”…
When her ma’am was speaking half way, I saw my lil girl-speaking with her friends, playing with them, laughing out heartily, showing me the puppets she did, and running around her class with full excitement. Well! Though I was lil concerned on her ma’am’s apprehensions but my girl who was a complete introvert is now blossomed into a fun, loving girl.
We thanked her ma’am and drove back home. I was thinking aloud. Why should stop her excitement and make her more serious. I was always serious about everything since I was a kid, be it studies, or even a class test I was too competitive, I think for a few extra marks I would have lost many moments of childishness, even good friends. I don’t want the same to happen to my lil one. Her ma’am was alerting that very soon they would start ascending, descending order, writing word’s blah blah. I think all these things can wait. Me and her dad were good in our studies. So that gene should be in her. Though it is dormant now, why should I unnecessarily trigger it?
By the time I reached home, I found a satisfactory answer to myself and gave a big hug to my gal. And to my surprise I found this in her report card, posted in the school’s website:
“Advitha Aravind is a happy,fun loving and expressive child.With little support she completes assigned tasks. She loves music and she is good in singing.”
Well Ma’am, we understand that you were very cynical in your verbal comments. But whatever she enjoys coming to you everyday
