Things to know about (Weakness)

Of course, if there are strenghts there will always be some weakness. These are some of it.


Weakness

1. She’s the only child at home and she is used to being treated as special. Because of this, she always wants attention. So please be patient in listening to her. Sometimes she gets bossy because she’s used to getting all the attention.
2. She’s not used to having other kids around, so she lacks social skills and wouldn’t interact much.
3. She use to converse in English, but because she’s more exposed to Tagalog being with the Yaya the whole day, she now talks in Tagalog more. Sometimes she also speaks in “Bisaya intonations”
4. She recites the ABC’s as M,M, O,O, P. I will be really grateful if you can correct it.
5. She usually forgets “rectangle”. But easily recognize the others.
6. She’s scared of cockroach.
7. She sometimes doesn’t tell if she needs to pee if she’s so preoccupied in playing.
8. Loud sounds scare her. You’ll usually know it’s too loud if she starts covering her ears.
9. She is not very patient. When she failed on her first try, she will think that she can’t do it anymore. Please encourage her to try again, and that it’s ok if she failed the first time. That she did very well in trying.
10. Please remind her that she doesn’t have diapers before going to sleep in the afternoon so that she knows that she have to wake up if she needs to pee. After waking up, she needs to go to the toilet immediately.
11. I’m a single mom and she doesn’t see her father at all. But she has “mommy”- me. “Mama”- lola, Papa – lolo, Nongnong- tito and Nangnang- tita we are her family. I will appreciate it if you don’t ask or mention about “daddy”. Or compare her to kids that have “fathers”.
12. She still drinks milk from the bottle before she goes to sleep, although she told me that she is not taking her milk anymore in school.
