The other day when I came to the school to fetch BG, I heard a boy crying. When the teachers opened the door of the juniors’ room, I heard her assured the mother that her son has just started crying again. To me, it was like the teacher wanted to assure the mom that her kid did something worthwhile instead of just crying.

Honestly, I expected a lot of crying on the first month of the school year. For some kids, it is their first time to be away from their family and to be left to a set of strangers. Totally understandable.

I am glad that we enrolled BG to the summer play group. When she came out, her teacher told me, “..and here’s BG, wala lang. Sanay na sya, mommy.”
