Kristine went to bed last night with very bad coughs and woke up with the same bad coughs and sore throat, so it was a rest day at home. After sending Kimmie to kinder, I went shopping for her fav redbean steamed buns at at local market but they didnt have that this morning. While there, Kristine called my mobile to ask if she could watch Nickelodeon on TV, to which I said no.
Upon returning home, I checked all TV settings and was confident she obeyed my instruction. Felt heppy, but wondering how I can find a balance so she would not grow up rebelling or sneaking her desire behind my back. The message is presently getting through that she can and will always enjoy her fav tv if she first gets through her chores. For this morning, her work was to rewrite her essay in English (see earlier blog entry). She watched TV for 20 mins after that, and again after finishing her lunch (reheated lasagna, and steamed peas with my garlic butter). Next in her list after lunch/TV is her school work of the day, posted on the school website.
