Last weekend, we encountered our very first study time with Josh. The teacher told me that there was a school work that Josh need to do for the weekend. I thought “Ok bah si Josh ni..mau saja dia buat coz he memang likes to draw.” but who knows that weekend turned into night mares! He refused and give us 101 reasons for not doing it.

“Mommy, Josh don’t know!”

“Mommy, Josh tired!”

“Mommy, papa show my Josh.”

“Papa, mommy show my Josh.”

“Mommy, malaslah!” etc etc etc..

Now I know how difficult it is to get your child to do their “homework”! You will do anything, yes, anything just to get them to do their homework (school work). You praise, you beg, you threatened, you scold and even up to getting the long stick by your side (in case you need it) *sigh* Punya sengsara I tell you.

I remembered those days when my brother lost his temper when his son refused to do the school homework. My brother ended up beating my nephew. I really pity him that time and I tell myself that I will NOT lost my temper when it’s my time..but….aiyooh! say easy lah but doing it??? sendiri saja lah tau!

Then, last night, I asked Josh to do some simple exercise (writing the abc by connecting the dots) and guess what? He enjoyed it so much that he ended up doing two pages.  I also hairan, why it was so difficult asking him to his Chinese character homework compare to this? Hmm, maybe last night Josh was in the mood of learning :lol:

And as usual, since I am a newbie in this area, really appreciate if you can share how you all tackle this problem.  Really appreciate it ;)
