Teaching Kids at Home Can Be Overwhelming but it could be Fun!

It's been a week of no class for my little one and today will add up to it coz their school is still flooded. He misses his school friends as well as his Teacher. He misses doing stuff and a lot more from school. As he want to explore and try new things , it's a bit challenging now on how to keep him busy , sustain his enthusiasm to learn more and enjoy it as well.

During the days of no classes his Teacher asked parents to help their children to answer some learning materials and modules to prevent further learning loss to students. It's like during the pandemic where learning was modular.

Geez it's not easy to teach a child Math subject in our native language , like " ang lima ay kulang ng isa sa apat" wherein you can just say 5 is a smaller number than 4" you'll answer if the statement is true or false. I got confused for a while and it took me a while to process the information in my mind , i fell silent for quite sometime. My son asked to explain it to him further, and i was like , ganito kasi yan bhe... Oh! let us just use some counters honey so i could explain it better , lol!

More learnings while having fun

I'm glad that my first grader is eager to write and learn more. You just have to bribe him with chips and cookies,and his favorite snacks like bilo-bilo or palitaw just like what we had a few days ago.

He loves helping me out in the kitchen specially when preparing snacks such as pancakes and the above mention Palitaw and Bilo-bilo. Both made out of glutinuos rice flour. One way also to ease childrens boredome when there is no classes. Let them be involve in doing something in the house.

As a mom that wants to discover her childrens forte. I also allow him to help me out in preparing snacks, though messy and our small kitchen was like hit by a storm after ,lol! but worth the bonding and i should bear with it so he could learn and have some fun as well. I help him explore and do his things. He's really having fun while doing such stuffs.

Playing plays an important role in children's learning. Play can stimulate their eagerness to learn. Aside from it , children has lots of stories to tell so you have to have an ear to them or else they will not stop asking unless you heard them well and replied to their unending inquiries . Learning together as they say coz by listening to them , you got to learn something from them too.

It's not easy to teach beginners like my child coz they have short attention span, so you really have to allot some time and patience in teaching them. I have to look for some ways to get his attention and keep him seated without boring him while studying. A little bit of play will do the trick. A short break to do his stuff , such as doodling. His "tatay" is his favorite subject in practicing his art skills , hehe! His sister and him love to ink their tatay with their arts.

Now that he's in first grade , he can read simple tagalog words and phrases that he had difficulty prior to face to face classes during his kinder year. Prior to our reading time , he would tell me ahead of time not to get mad or raised my voice to him, lol! He would utter a short prayer too , asking the Almighty for him to remember everything i would teach him.

In Conclusion

Being patient in teaching my 6 year old son requires lot of patience and diligence not only with his school subjects but also with simple things such as organizing his own stuff , putting all the things in it's proper places , cooking pancakes , how to be good , how to share ,how to be more loving and caring and yes! how to be PATIENt too! Goodness , it can be overwhelming but i have to do it . If i want my kids to be a kind and good human being , we as parents should do our responsibility of teaching and loving them . So when it's time for them to fly , i know they are equipped with strong wings and i won't worry much if that time comes.

Now i'm seeing progress. It's lways been the beginning that is more difficult coz everything was new to him then but now he's getting the hang of it and most important is , He's happy learning new things.

It's raining once again as of this writing , so i guess tomorrow there will be no classes once again. 😢Keepsafe fellows!

Thank you for reading.

While teaching kids, you tend to know more. You will know it while teaching them at the same time. When the child is a fast learner, you enjoy the teaching more. Teaching kids at home is nice

Depende talaga sa bata. Kahit may lesson plan ka na mababago pa din talaga per day. May student kasi ako noon na 5years old na ata or 6 tapos sobrang likot ayaw nya talaga makinig na magaral

Teaching is an interesting job to me. But when it's for kids then it is the hardest job to me. I have students but they are at class ten. Not kid any more.
