How these parents are willing to work, to help their young adapt, to change the schedules of work for their young son, to help him better adapt to the school life, translated…
"After I became a father, I'd started, learning how to be a father", that line from a car commercial many years ago, made the huge noises throughout the country from many a year ago, and I'd still, heard it to this, very, day.
There's a lot to learn as parents, raising our young, and naturally, there would be, tons of, hardships, that will, constantly challenge the parents patience, and wisdoms as well. There's no specialty medicine to educating children, nor is there a one-dose cure for the problems, for every child is unique, it all relies on how the parents are willing to take the time, to care and to understand the needs of their children individually.

Of the first grade students who'd started elementary school last year, there was this cute little boy, whose mother dropped him off on her scooter to school every day, as he got off his mother's scooter, he'd gleefully greet the traffic patrol volunteers and the teachers on traffic duties; and yet, after a few short weeks, as he got off his mother's scooter, he'd, become, quite, upset, would always stary crying loudly at the gates of the school, and even as the teachers were there next to him, trying to comfort him, he'd still, clenched tightly to his mother's, clothes, refusing to, let go.
I'd found the opportunity to try and understand what was going on with this young lad with his homeroom instructor, the homeroom instructor told, that, it takes only a few short moments, after the child is in the class, then, he'd, returned back to his, calmed, state, and, there was no problem for him in class, during cleaning period, or as he was working on his, homework assignments, and the boy got along very well with his classmates too, and, that the scene he'd made at the entrance of the school, perhaps, it's, separation anxiety with his parents! As I'd talked with the parents, the school agreed that the mom would walk the boy into class, and settle him down, then leave. The child loved this way, it'd helped him gain the security he'd needed.
And yet, after just a month, the young lad started, making the fusses, again, it'd troubled his mother so. We'd immediately had his homeroom instructor come to the front gates of the school, to use her professional counseling means, to get the boy into class, and the parent and instructor started talking again. The day following, the parent changed the drop-off strategies, it was the dad who'd chauffeured the boy now. This worked wonders, the child, when he'd gotten out of the car, is in smiles, a full semester passes by without fail, and even though, sometimes, the mom came to drop the boy off, he'd stopped, crying and making a huge fuss again. And the father of this young boy often worked his overtime at the office, but, for his son's sake, he was, willing to switch up his schedules, waken up early to get his son to school, it'd impressed me a whole lot
These parents are truly, wonderful, willing to adjust their own schedules for their young son's sake, to help the child find a way that works for him the best. Actually, a child may get stuck on a certain stage, and once the child surpassed the stage, s/he will be, okay, and all the parents needed, is to be patient, and be there for their young. Although, there are the different lessons the parents and children both needed to master, so long as the parents grow continually, adjusting themselves, I'm sure, that they will all help their own children grow up well.
"It wasn't until I'd become a father, I'd started learning how to be a dad, and I'm still continuing to learn to this, very day!", this is the line I want to share with all the parents in the world.
So this is how this school's instructors, the young child's parents, work together, to help him adjust to school, and the teachers, and the parents didn't just get frustrated with the child's crying behaviors, but instead, they'd worked together, to find out what the problem was, and try to make things work for the child, helping the boy deal with his separation anxiety from his mom, and it also got the dad more involved in the son's life too.
