Loving my children and husband

I love my children a lot. I simply love them. Hugging and kissing aren't enough to express my very deep affection for them.

It's just that sometimes it hurts me when I discipline my boy though I have to. After I hit his hand when he dropped the rice dispenser (I don't know how he managed..that thing is heavy) I felt kind of bad. I wondered if it was too hard. I wondered if I should hit at all in the first place. Would it have sufficed if I had just scolded him. I thought if I don't hit him, he may think dropping things to see how they work is alright.

Disciplining is part of raising children. I hope I can be more patient with my boy to avoid having to hit him. Initially I told myself that I won't hit him as far as possible..now I don't know. I think I'll resort to that only if what he does is very grave. If not I think I shouldn't. Most importantly, he needs to be told what wrong he has done...for now I hope he understands.

As for my husband, he's been working very hard. I love him a lot for what he has done for the family and for just being him.

Part-time job offer

Got a phonecall from an ex-schoolmate. He offered me to join him write Activity Books - on contract basis. I only need to come for once-a-week meeting and it sounds interesting so I took it up.

Basically I have to design activities based on whatever textbook assigned. Activities could range from MCQs to structured questions to Case Studies. In fact the activities are limitless. It all depends on our creativity.

I am really looking forward to do this project. But the deadline is very soon so I have to get down to do more research on Creative Thinking and Blooms Taxonomy - something about levels of types of questions. Hope I can do this well.
