I have been working in TOUCH childcare for nearly a month and I am thinking if i should continue to stay and to take their course in order to be a qualified childcare teacher or to move on to other jobs...Well, I must admit that a childcare teacher is not an easy job (depending on the age group that you teach). I was assigned to K1 which i heard from the teachers how naughty they are..There are times they do make my heart boil, and times they do make me miss them and to feel upset too..Working with little children can be a joy and a big disaster..But they are just innocent kids whom sometime seek for attention and afterall a care and concern is enough to make them smile. Beside teaching them ABC and 123, I do learn from them too.

Things I learn/observe from kids

1)Kids can easily say sorry and to forgive one another easily..(As one grow older, it's not easy to say "sorry" especially when we have Virus P(Pride) in our body.)

2)Kids are transparent in terms of expressing themselves- They cry when they want to, you can see their mood on their face (As one grow older, one tend to hide their feeling, often we try to put a smile in our face despite we are boiling inside the heart.)

3)"Teacher,she hits me..Teacher, she bully me"...Kids loves protection and attention (Adult do want to be protect and recongise by loved one but most of the time they will try to act "strong" saying I can protect myself..I don't need the attention..but deep inside you are thinking if anyone listening to me..Hee kids also like to complaint but that's one way they thought they can be protected.

4)Kids like surprise..and they are curious about new things.."Teacher what's this?..Teacher how come got this..?" When kids do explore to new things..the 4w1h will be the conversation with us..Well it's good to ask question but sometimes their why question can be written into assay...Recently we just show the kids how to cook spat( sorry in short) for lunch..you can see how their eyes can be glue to the pots and plates ..if only they can be this attentive when comes to teaching ABC...

5)Kids are good followers...When one kids in my K1 class come to me for first aids(since she has a little small cut on her finger..), almost another 1/4 of the class will come to me for first aids..be it mosquito bites or just a minor cut(which look like some injuries that occur two or three days ago..),they will just come for first aids because one kids has do so.It happens when one child come to me asking me to read a story book with her during teabreak, the rest of the children will come with a book asking me to read with them..so can i don't admit that they are indeed good followers ?

6)Kids love to be praise..I remember a few days ago i just praise a boy who have finished his work quickly, you will get to see three or four kids coming to you showing their work and saying "teacher see i also finish my work.." and the kids will just come one by one just to hear you say "good job...well done.."i think from the first week i started working there..these few words have been repeating like a tape recorder haha..I believe that adult also do like to be praise and recognise..but in a different way (like awards or bonus $$)...

Yup and there are many more observation and conclusion which i think i will take time to write it down..hee should i writea book on my one month journey with the little kids ? hee Anyway I do enjoy working there but my concern is the pay (which i think quite low as i need to support my family expenses, medical fees..bills), the job scope( I hate their bathing time)..some staff( they are unfriendly..)..but overall it's a "carefree" jobs since not much things to do just each and watch over them...(I am quite scare when they go for outdoor activities)but they are still kids afterall..some loving some headache..but to me they all deserve to be love and care for ..

But i am given one month to try this job and next mon will be my last day of work..so it's time to consider to stay or to move on ... God knows...=]
