The greatest thing about working with young children is that they have no reservations in contributing to the interaction.

But I have recently been horrified by Chanya's new annoying habit of accusing me, 'I know teacher don't like me!' which makes me very baffled because I didn't do anything!

Found out yesterday that she forms her own hypotheses eg. 'If I get this question wrong, it means teacher don't like me' or even 'if teacher wears black today' and 'if teacher didn't carry her red bag with the octopus'. Even though it sounds ridiculous, I was so relieved and amused that I've finally solved the mystery! (So the unreasonable trait of women actually started out so young)

It is pretty scary how she really convinces herself that I don't like her and broods over it the whole lesson, but I've found the solution after trying every lesson on how to deal with it (pretend to be very sad that she thinks this way - including imitating how she expresses sadness by burying my face in my hands; she has an inherent kindness in her that makes her want to make people feel happy so she would listen and trust me after that).

I'm seldom fazed by circumstances, don't really lose my head and usually have a solution to every situation that pops up, but teaching Chanya has really challenged me. Whether it is the slight language barrier (she's Thai), her eccentricity or mood swings, I go to her house twice a week not knowing what I would expect that day. But she's such a sweet girl she has probably conditioned me to look forward to all these challenges with all the love she showers me.

I'd like to record these precious observations; I really am learning from her as much as she is learning from me :)

There's more to things
than you'll ever know,
but I'm beginning to anticipate the unknown.

Smile,
because you are worth it.
