Message from the Principal - Developing Children's Character at an Early Age

On Tuesday morning, a professor came to visit us and we shared our recent experiences and talked about the difficulties we encountered in our work. The professor mentioned that she had taken over a class of night school tutors this year, in which there were fresh graduates as well as people who had been working for a few years, but the common problem was that they could not deal with their own affairs, nor could they talk about them, which was really a headache.

I find it unbelievable. How can this happen? How can a twenty-something year old not know how to handle his own affairs? Isn't he just like a child?

One of the reasons is that it rained on the scheduled date and it is impossible to carry out the work, and once the work is delayed, it is not possible to insert the project; the second reason is that there is a lack of labor, the factory cannot hire workers, and the young people are reluctant to work under the scorching sun, and the middle-aged and old people have poor stamina, so the boss has no choice but to say sorry frequently; the problem is that saying sorry is not going to help!

All trades and industries are short of people, even kindergarten teachers are very difficult to hire, kindergarten and early childhood education graduates do not become kindergarten teachers, the proportion of those who changed careers accounted for 70%, 80%, less than one-third of the remaining to enter the workplace, and those who are able to adhere to a very limited proportion of the proportion of stabilized in the kindergarten teaching field of the eighth-grade students are very few and far between, and there is no new blood to take over the responsibility of kindergarten education and the construction of an important project, it really is worrying, and can not be ignored! This is really worrying and a problem that should not be overlooked.

The reason for this is that it is difficult to bring up children, and there are many things to be done on behalf of the children. In addition to the preparation and recording of teaching work, liaison between home and school, childcare work such as meals, dressing, tying hair, wiping buttocks, arranging schoolbags, quilts, and toiletry utensils, as well as cleaning and arranging the classroom environment and toys, and feeding the children with medication (which requires signatures and records of the medication times), in addition to the physical effort, there is also a need to have brain power; plus, there are many demands from parents, and they have to make a lot of comparison and blame for their children's actions. The children have bruises, they don't bring back their things, they blame the teachers for their mistakes, they are exhausted after a long day, and then they have to go home to see their parents' Line, which is really very hard.

Parents visit the school before their child enrolls, and teachers spend a lot of time receiving and explaining to them. Once parents have chosen a suitable school for their child, they have to cooperate and communicate with the school and teachers to create a win-win-win situation.

Kindergarten is a place for educating children, a place for them to learn, explore, exercise, make friends, interact with others, recognize good habits, and build good character. Isn't that the purpose of parents sending their children to kindergarten? However, too much reluctance, intervention, demands, consideration and distrust will not only cause pressure on workers, but also hinder children's learning, growth and interpersonal interactions, and once habits are formed, it is very difficult to change them. It is worthwhile for parents to reflect on the fact that they are still unable to handle their own affairs even after they have become socialized.

As a result of the child reduction, parents and elders are reluctant to let their children suffer, and when they grow up, they are picky about what they want to do and become dependent on their parents. Today is the last day of summer vacation and next Monday is the first day of the new semester. Parents are advised to make preparations beforehand, and to make sure that children can recognize all the items they bring with their names or name tags on them, so that they can identify them and reduce the chance of getting the wrong ones.

Maybe your baby still cries and doesn't want to come to the park, please empathize with him/her and give him/her a hug so that he/she can feel safe and loved. A good start is half the battle.

Blessings to all

Happiness, Happiness, Peace and Joy
