Mom of 3rd Culture Kids

Five more days before my  li’l boy is going for his 2 weeks trial preschool. I really like the Thai school idea where they will let all the 3-4 pre schoolers have a 2 week trial school first before the start of the school year. During this trial period, parents are allowed to wait for them in the school so, they can be brought home anytime if they cry. This will go on for 2 weeks until the kids are already comfortable with the school, their teachers and classmates.

Their school time at the trial stage will only be for 3 hours ( or half a day) as opposed to the normal 7 hour classes ( or full day classes). Since they’re just pre preschoolers, their classes will be short and they will have more time for games, activities, meals and naps.

Anyways, I’m quiet excited but nervous at the same time how my li’l boy will do. I just hope and pray that he can adjust easily and be happy in going to Thai school.

Kids are excited in going to their Thai school next month. I am too! I’m happy that they will be able to mingle with the local students here and hopefully acquire the language. I just hope and pray that they can adjust well. I don’t have much problem with my 5 year old as she has been to school in the Philippines and Malaysia for a few months. I guess, her only struggle will be the language since the Thai students don’t speak English unlike in the Philippines and Malaysia. As for my two year old boy, it’ll be his first time in school. I just hope and pray that he will enjoy his 1st few weeks in school and won’t  ‘quit’ during that time. He’s quite strong willed, he has this attitude where he’s too strong with his decision with no way of breaking him. Oh, God, let him like his school!

With my little boy in school, I could spend a few hours homeschooling my girl (in the afternoons) as we made special arrangements with her THai school for her to attend just half a day. I pray that everything will really go well.AMen!
