Family Outing at Titi Eco Farm, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan

It's a lazy Sunday, how's everyone doing? Yesterday we have a family outing to Titi Eco Farm, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan. As early as 5.30 in the morning I woke up to prepare myself then asking my son to wake up.

We registered at Surian Tower as he journey starts from Surian Tower to Titi Eco Farm. There were 3 buses there, happy to see all the families that joined Wyeth Nutrition (S- MAMA Club). I bumped into of my friend Kathy that CNY time we join the CNY mob dance at Sunway Pyramid. Kathy and her toddler together join this family outing. For your info, Surian Tower parking fee is RM3 during weekend.

The journey from Surian Tower to Titi Eco Farm about 2 hours drive by bus. 

At the arrival, we head to the canteen where Wyeth Nutrition's CRM Manager, Chan Wan Yee gives her welcome speech.

Look mom, my first time harvest corn.

Part of the itinerary of the day including of farm tour and harvest session.

Harvesting for the day would corns and sweet potatoes.

We also get the chance to feed the rabbits and goats, it's good to see parents and children have a great bonding time together. Sweet potato leaves are used to feed the rabbits and goats.

"I am not scare, I can slide down" says my son

Children also learns about washing the sweet potatoes they harvested at the farm.

We also have lunch in the canteen.

3 Rules to Discipline

Every Parent must Remember

Be Fair

Be Consistent

Be Firm

The goal of discipline is SELF-Discipline 

Discipline involves the following:

The whole child

Love and Respect

Communication

Discipline is NOT Punishment & Rewards

It is Guidance and Encouragement

Being the 'Good Enough' Parent

Remember that all parents make mistakes!

That is how we learn to be such AWESOME role-models

Rules, Limits and Offer Choices:

What do young children know about these?

"If I had my child to raise all over again, I'build self-esteem first, and the house later. 

I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.

I would do less correcting and more connecting... 

... I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

I'do more hugging and less tugging."

-Diane Loomans, from If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again

Starting a computer class is a YES OR NO?

How's everyone feeling today? It's been raining all day long, son given a notice from school. There is no computer class in school so school PIBG plans to start computer classes.

There's no mention of how much fee a month that parents need to pay, the notice is like a survey form asking if parents want to have the primary school to get start the computer classes for Standard One to Standard Five. If parents are agree to it, parents will need to pay a fee for the computer class.

Just like that a survey of Yes or No to get start with computer class and if parents are willing to pay or not. Both in one questions, so you can only tick YES OR NO.

There's no other saying how long the computer class will held, or how much the fee payment.

I recall my school days that we spend not a long time in the computer class and 4 of us were sharing a computer to use. It was so long ago, different school different rules and regulations.

Anyway we'll have to wait and see the outcome of this maybe in September or October. 

8 September to 10 September give way to UPSR Exam

The school has given a notice today that children of Standard 1 to 5 will not be going to school because Standard are having exam on these dates.

There is also information on injection of (DOUBLE ANTIGEN BOOSTER/MR/DA/POLIO) will be giving to Standard One student on 17 August today until 20 August 2015. Some parents choose to have their children get injection in hospital instead of school. My son has got his jab in school when he was Standard One.

The notice also highlight that children are coming to school late. Parents are advice to send children to school early and on time to lead them with good example. Practical mark of Moral or Agama will be deduct for the late comers starting from 18 August 2015.
