Anak-anak: ceritaku dan mereka

Banyak alasan untuk saya mencintai anak-anak. Yes, I do love kids! Indeed! Terutama ketika mereka menginjak usia emasnya (golden age). Percaya atau tidak, ketika itu segala aspek yang dimiliki anak tumbuh & berkembang pesat, dan ini mempengaruhi bagaimana mereka di masa yang akan datang.

As a teacher, I'm not only care about cognitive aspect of children, but also about emotional aspect. Satu contoh pengalaman yang saya dapat ketika menghadapi mereka secara emosional:
Saya (S): *baca pesan masuk dari ortu murid* "N masih ingin digandeng ibu guru ketika naik-turun tangga" | orang tua (OT): *bertanya kepada anaknya* "kenapa begitu?" | Anak (A):  "takut ms.D diambil sama teman-teman yang lain" | (S): *ke GR-an :))
