Mummy Eliz loves attending talks and workshops as she believes learning is a life-long process. Even if there is no new information, it is good to refresh some parenting tools and techniques.
Princess Chelsea had been accompanying Mummy Eliz on such talks and workshops ever since she turned 2yos.
Each time, she would be either drawing non-stop, or playing by herself. Of course, she would have questions, especially when the presenter is presenting a topic that is usually beyond her comprehension powers.
Mummy Eliz expects full cooperation from her, and thus, did not though much of this.
Last night, when attending a talk at Toa Payoh West Cc on “The Right and Left Brain Development.”, the presenter actually took note of Princess’ behavior, and commented that it takes a rare child to be able to sit quietly on Mummy’s lap for a good three hours.
Mummy guess, she had been looking too much at the small areas that perhaps Princess did not measure up [and giving her indirect pressure], rather than appreciating her for the daily efforts she put in.
It was a simple reminder call.
PS:
Next Monday’s talk is on “The hidden dangers of the good child.”, and the following Monday’s talk is on “What can I do if my child does not listen?”

Interesting how you like to spend time on such talks. *hehe* "How-to" seminars/workshops/talks bore me, and I frankly rather spend my time otherwise.
I have very poor memory thus like to attend such talks to refresh my memory from time to time, and besides whenever I attend such talks, my objective is just to learn 1 new thing, and if I really learnt 1 new thing, I would feel that my trip is justified. =)
