boys and playgroups

taking my daughter to her playgroup used to be a fun mother and daughter activity. however, taking my son to his playgroup is much looked forward by my son but dreaded by the mother.

my son is very excited about going to his playgroup. he even recognizes the route i take to his playgroup and he would say ‘no’ if i divert for a while to his nanni’s house. the thing is, he doesn’t sit still for more than 5 minutes during the session and even more so since his playgroup has more boys than girls. well, the other boys are running about too but not as much as my son.

he loves all the activities that require him to be physically mobile. he loves the songs and music. he would sit still during the art and craft time as long as it does not bore him or until he sees any other boys up on two feet. he is intrigued by any new activity and the activity better be interesting to hold his attention long enough.

what i dread most is when he physically harm other children which makes me wanna pull my hair and cry. when i point out to him that he had made the other child cry, he would then hug them and say sorry but he then, does it again to the next child. i keep looking for answers as to why he does it and what should i do to teach him not to do it ever again.

well, nadia nasira used to be 22 months and muhammad nashwan nasr was 23 months when they started their playgroup sessions. it is true, i suppose, that boys and girls mature at different milestones… i can’t wait for the day when he does….

one of the rare moments...


he loves his teacher rahmah and is so comfortable with her...

look at him in action...


nadia nasira is busy colouring....
while muhammad nashwan nasr is exploring the cryon box...
