Hi Ladies, sorry for the lack of updating recently as there are many factors that occured. Our internet connection went down for almost 23 hours starting from Friday’s night until late Saturday afternoon.

The other thing is, I has to deal with my little boy’s stress. I’m a bit of surprise when he said to me ‘Mom, I’m stress…I’m lonely’. My God…my little boy is stress? How come? I thought he was make it up or learn to say that from the TV soap opera he used to watch with his baby sitter.

Later, I’m browsing the internet about child stress and found an interesting article from www.kidshealth.org, they said most of the parents thought our children are always happy and carefree, so what could they possibly have to worry about?

The more I read further of the article, I found out what is the meaning of stress and even very young children have worries and feel stress to some degree. Stress is a function of the demands placed on us and our ability (or sometimes our perceived ability) to meet them.

My son now 4 years 8 months old and on the first degree of his kindergarten schooling. He goes to school at 8am in the morning until around 1pm in the afternoon, including his extra-curiculler activities like Chinese language lesson, drum band, sports (Tae Kwon-Do), drawing and swimming. He also go to his piano lesson once in a week.

And, later I found out, maybe I was put him into too many activities and do not have time to play creatively or relax after school that may cause the stress.

Well, I admit that is my fault if he complains by saying he is having a stress. I will try to have some time to talk again about all his activities today and listening to what he said. Maybe it can helps to minimize his stress in the future, God…I’m not good at this!

I also remember what my hubby said when I ask him what else should we arrange for our son to do when his teacher gave us a form to fill in for his extra-curiculler, there were around 10 activities to choose in total including..a ballet lesson :). My husband said, enough for now, 5 activities are about too many and I guess he’s right about that.

If you want to read more about the article, you can go to their website, it’s worth to read especially for a new mom like me.

And about he feels lonely. Well, His grand dad said he’s about time to have little brother or sister, I was actually really want to give him a sister, but maybe later Our current situation at the moment is still not good enough to have one more child. My husband still fight to established his own design firm and me also still working to help him.

We both plan to have new child next year when everything is settled and I can be free from my daily work so I will have more time for the children, and my husband can concentrate to his work. Until then and wish me luck ladies!
