Better? Oh ya, in some uncanny ways.

ZY came to class today with her green hankerchief clasped in her hand. And 30 minutes into lesson it's already wet (A new record!). Yup, there goes the same old line...

"Teacher, i miss my mummy..." (imagine a soft whinny tone on the verge of tears)

i made her write lines of 'shoulder', 'finger', 'nose' etc instead. *guilty* And she quietly comply. Most importantly, she stopped crying. Hmn..maybe writing lines take her mind off her mummy. Just 30 minutes before lesson is over, she asked me the time.

"Teacher, time really flies hoh, in another 30 minutes i can see my mummy already. i've improved today, teacher. i didn't cry from the beginning of the lesson until i go home like last week."

This coming from the mouth of a 5-years-old girl. (- -")
