A Play School for my Daughter
I have to put my daughter in playschool for two reasons. The main reason is that she has become so timid that she is afraid of not only strangers, but even children of her own age. We are worried what sort of person she will become. I secretly know that my daughter is getting this stranger-phobia from me. I get hyper when ever we have to go to meet some one. I am the one who is showing her the way to reclusive attitude. But I want her to be like her father; outgoing, friendly, at ease in his own skin and never afraid to take the first step and try new vistas.
The playschool may not turn my daughter into an extrovert overnight, but at least she will learn to interact with kids of her own age. That will be an achievement in itself.
Second reason for admitting her into the playschool is the uncertainty over my sister-in law’s return. She stays at home and used to look after my daughter when every body else was at their jobs. Now that she is giving no hints of returning, its better that I think of some alternative before my college starts.
I am a 32 year old Indian woman who spends most of the time in Europe. I thought that I liked to travel, but now I am not so sure. I have been to Switzerland, France, England, Scotland and Spain. I have a little daughter whom I dot on (all mothers do, nothing new). I fear that my overbearing attitude is turning her into a timid and fearful person. I am a recluse and don’t like to interact with people. Internet is my hiding place. I am most comfortable and at ease when I am writing in my blogs. One day I want to quit my job and turn to full time blogging (oh! The ultimate dream of all introverts).
