Disciplining a child ain't easy.
Discipling a special child is harder.
Teaching is easy, you just have to ensure they are calm and ready to learn.
A child who cries over every little things is a challenge.
I find it easier to handle kids who are non verbal or
even those who uses hands as a way to protest.
But, I guess we humans have our limits.
My limit, currently,is for a child who cries and
shrieks with that high pitch voice for an hour non stop.
I tend to get slightly irritated but I told myself to be calm.
He didn't choose to behave that way.So, I breathe in and breathe out.
I explained and rationalized to him what he did was wrong
and what "appropriate behavior" he must do the next time he encounters a problem.
I know he will take a long time to understand but,
I'm sureIf we teachers do not give up, he will change.
Thankfully, I was able to stay in the staff room
for a period after the incident.I needed to further calm myself down,
I need to remember the reasons why I'm in this line,
So educating a child ain't easy.But, when a child
learnt and transformed,I know it's all worth it.
