Confession of a bad mum....

Yes, confession!

There was a time when i was obsessed with a RPG game that i neglected Dot for a few months.
As a result,
he got very frustrated and developed low self-esteem!

I remembered when i first noticed his low self-esteem when he seem to be saying "I CANNOT, I DON'T KNOW" to every new games or topics i exposed him to.

Then a conversation with his form teacher confirmed that he has got low confidence.

He was always the one raising hands in the class after a topic,
NOT to answer a question,
BUT to tell the teacher,
"Teacher, I CANNOT, i don't know!"

I quit the game,
and returned a 101% to my son,
he is improving,
and his new teacher praised him for being very responsive in the class,
always loving to relate his experiences with interesting examples!!


There was a time,
when he had bad constipation that lasted for four years plus.
Until one occasion that he had to be admitted into hospital due to acute constipation pain.

Now,
what kind of mum will not worry if her child had not 'output' for days.
You are looking at one...

I had always neglected the fact that he only managed to pass motion once every week.

That's right,
just once in every 6 or 7 days.

He ate very little,
always underweight!

I am making amendments now.
He passes every day!
It's becoming a routine,
it's funny how i could take such a routine for granted until one painful experience woke me up!

He eats more now too,
which i am happy to see.

Breakfast is healthy,
at least i feel it's healthy,
i let him mix three or four different kind of cereal in milk,

and he enjoys the colorful result in his bowl!

He loves supper too.
Always asking for egg tart, bread or biscuit...
sometimes,
when he has the mood for it,
he would ask for Roti Prata!!

He is at 3 percentile for weight,
but i am confident he will pick up soon.
