Mommy Mhel, thanks for sharing this very reflective article. You are such a vigilant and proactive mom for first, giving your child varied experiences and two, for taking the time to pause and observe your child closely. Based on our times with Caine, I definitely can't generalize and say she is generally cranky, stressed out kid. Being a kid, (just like grown-ups too) she may have her moments but never lose patience in supporting her especially when she's having her cranky moments. This will be the basis of her knowing how everyone will react when she's having such times. Ang bata naman talagang nagiging cranky na kung pagod, gutom, may gusto pero hindi alam kung ano, or inaantok na.
Suggest ko lang, baka kailangan din may designated quiet and relaxing time...you know just a simple day with just her and her family quietly bonding as well. Maybe a chance to re-energize.
and don't you worry about her not being able to focus on one thing. remember she's just 4 hehehe eh kung ang grown-ups nga nagkakaproblema din ng ganyan di ba? This is kids dabbling stage so let them dabble all they want. Pretty soon...she'll be able to pick and choose what she'd really want to get into.
You know what I suspect??? ask me next time we see each other at a Kids Ahoy event. Usap-usap tayo. But guess what? She's normal and thank goodness for that huh? :=)
