No Kidding....

I never thought it would be this painful starting the kid off to a regular school, though I was not an
easy starter myself. Yesterday lasted only for 45 mins and out of that I was sitting right next to him for half an hour. Today they've asked me to leave and return after an hour. It was quite a tough task hearing him tell the teacher, "I'll come tomorrow...", "Call my mother..." through his sobs. I can only imagine tougher times ahead. Actually the lady-in-charge told me that I'm late starting him off at 3 years. It seems even at 2, kids understand and avoid diversions. I agree but I don't think it's a good idea to pack them off even to a play-school at so early an age. Whatever said and done, there is no freedom to do what you want and children should be allowed to be pranksters, at least once in a while. But the way our expectations are, I'm sure they'll come up with some sort of 'Abhimanyu' therapy for pregnant women wherein they'll start training the baby right in the womb.
