“When Children Cry”: Part 2

“She kept calling the principal ‘Ah Gong’.”

Not because she was confused.
But because, in her world,
Ah Gong means safe.

Some children don’t feel ready for groups yet.
Noise, movement, many faces —
it can feel overwhelming.

So they choose one emotional anchor.
Someone calm. Familiar. Grounding.

In her language,
that safety sounded like “Ah Gong”.

This is not spoiling.
This is self-regulation through connection.

Staying close to one trusted adult doesn’t mean:
❌ the classroom failed
❌ teachers are not capable

It simply means:
💛 “I need safety before I can explore.”

🌱 Independence doesn’t come from pushing.
It grows from feeling safe first.

Part 3 of Why Children Cry otw...

”哭泣的孩子“:第二篇

孩子一直叫校长“阿公”!
不是搞不清楚身份,
而是孩子用她熟悉的语言,
在寻找安全感。

对孩子来说,
“阿公”代表的是 - 安定、陪伴、不会被催促。
这不是被宠坏, 而是孩子在用自己的方式 建立安全感。

🌱 安全感先有了, 孩子才走得出去。

“My daughter cried since last night.
She refused to go to kindergarten. Is something wrong?”

As parents, our hearts break first.
We wonder:
* Did something happen in school?
* Is she unhappy?
* Are the teachers able to comfort her?

Here’s something important we want parents to know 💛
When a child cries at separation,
it doesn’t mean school is unsafe.
It doesn’t mean teachers are not caring.

At this age, children don’t understand time yet.
“Later” feels like “forever”.
Separation feels real, deep, and scary.
Crying doesn’t mean your child is weak.
It means she loves deeply and feels safely attached.

Let's give every child space and time to bloom.
Let's not rush children out of emotions.
Let's walk with them - gently, patiently, both teachers and parents.

🌱 This is not a problem to fix.
It’s a process to support.

Part 1
(Part 2 coming soon: “Why does my child cling to one adult instead of joining friends?”)

“孩子从昨晚开始哭,
拒绝上幼儿园。”
很多父母都会心痛、焦虑、怀疑自己。

其实,
孩子的哭泣,
并不是不喜欢学校,
而是暂时还无法承受“分离”。
这个阶段的孩子,
不懂时间,
只懂“现在看不到妈妈”。
哭,不代表退步。
而是安全依附的一部分。

请给予孩子空间和时间,
孩子需要被理解,
而不是被催促。
🌱 情绪被接住,
成长才会发生。

INTERACTIVE: Malaysian kids hit by rising anxiety disorders 31/01/2026

💬 Why do I commit so deeply to active & interactive learning?

Because today, more children are struggling - not with exams,
but with anxiety, confidence, emotions, and connection.
I believe learning must go beyond books.

Children need to move, talk, play, collaborate, feel safe, and be seen.
That’s how character is built. That’s how resilience grows. 🌱

Even when change feels uncertain,
my team and I choose to move forward - sacrificing holidays, time, and comfort,
because shaping well-rounded future generations cannot wait.

Education must evolve.
For our children’s emotional well-being.
For their character.
For their future. 💛

We love, we care, we educate ❤️
Commit for every child in our hands 🌱

💬 为什么坚持主动与互动式学习?

因为今天,越来越多的孩子面对的不是考试问题,
而是 焦虑、缺乏自信、情绪不稳与人际连接不足。

我相信学习不该只停留在书本与学术成绩。
孩子需要 动起来、说出来、玩中学、与人合作、被理解、被接纳。
这正是品格建立与内在力量成长的关键 🌱

即使改变充满不确定,也不被理解,
我和团队依然选择向前 —— 牺牲假期和休息、投入时间与心力,
因为培养 身心均衡的下一代,刻不容缓。

教育,必须改变。
为了孩子的情绪稳定。
为了品格成长。
为了更好的未来 💛

🌱 We love. We care. We educate.
🌱 用爱 · 用心 · 用教育, 我在意每一个来到我身边的孩子🌱
