first realization of reality!
Socialization has always been as issue with my daughters and I do not blame them at all for it.They are growing up in the U.S isolated from their family ,very few friends and almost no get-together.this isolation was the single reason I started sending "T" to a day care for few hours just when she turned 2 and 1/2 years old in a hope that she will get to see some kids on a regular basis,some new people other than her parents.I do not know to what extent that helped her because at time she would just not communicate with anyone and cave in holding my finger all sacred.I still did not give up hope and singlehandedly kept trying to make her socialize more and more.As a mother of two kids ,doing all the household chores all by my self from school to home obviously I hardly get time to play a lot with my daughters. I forcefully set some time aside from my household work to play with them.
Yesterday to make "T" happy I made some sandwich and juice ,packed them and went to the park to sit and have lucnh.She was very happy to sit under the open sky ,eating looking at birds,turtles taking sunbath ,birds picking up tit-bits of food falling around and running around with her sister with out me saying even once "do not drop food ,do not make the carpet dirty,eat fast".
I almost suspended all my other chores and gave her the undivided attention.In the meantime we were having a conversation about how excited she gets these days to go to her school.Right now I send her only for 3 days that too just for 3 hours.looking at her excitement to go to school I inquired if she inted to stay full say and she readily agreed.I was in shock as how this happened.There was a time when I dreaded sending her to school because of the tantrum she would throw before getting ready for school.And now she is ready to stay at school for the whole away from me.
Obviously she has more things to do at school than at home and so she likes spending time at school.You never know when kids become so big all of a sudden and you start becoming less important to them compared to other thing around them.In no time they will stretch their wings and fly away from you,giving you a lot of pleasure making your hard work worth it and at the same time feeling of loneliness.
