  Nanny Workshop

With most parents getting busier everyday, it can’t be helped that nannies holds an important role in caring and raising our students at home. Tzu Chi School often holds workshops and seminars for parents, but we also see the importance of holding a platform for knowledge sharing to our students’ nannies.

 

On November 5, 2019 morning, Tzu Chi Early Childhood School welcomed around 30 nannies to discuss about different types of child’s emotions. By trying to understand a child’s emotion, we will too, could practice our patience and mindfulness. Master Cheng Yen said,'Do not close the door to our hearts. By loving others, we too will be loved."

Ms Patmawati, N2 Teacher led the workshop and explained a few important things to note, such as:
  • Aware of different types of emotions: understanding different emotions in children and how these emotions could affect a child’s behaviour. 
  • Manage emotions: how to express each emotion properly without being aggressive.
  • To motivate children by giving them one or two task, that ignites their sense of responsibility
  • To build relations among children so that they could solve problems nicely, teach children how to socialise properly by learning how to help others 

Ms Eva, Nanny of N2 Compasion student found the workshop to be very useful, “All we’ve known children can only cry, cry, and cry. We never really thought of anything behind those crying and sometimes we can only have a go at them for crying,”

 

For Ms Eva, the workshop opened up her eyes about children’s emotions, which hoped to help her in the future for when the child she cared for cries. “Now we have to see, what actually they’re thinking, what made them cry. Most of the time, the kid also become very hyperactive when their parents are home, I think it’s because they’re seeking attention.”

 

Before ending the workshop, Ms Patmawati asked participants to join a game of moving one paper cup from one desk to another, by holding the cup using rubber band together. Ms Patmawati hoped that this game will make our nannies understand that, even though things seem to be easy to be done, somehow you (or a child) could find them challenging.

 

Ms Eva said she was hoping to share what she’s gained in this workshop to the parents at home to achieve a comprehensive parenting and caring between parents, school, and nannies.
