Aliran Rasa Game Level 3 :
Mengasah Kecerdasan

Sepertinya semua ibu pasti ingin melakukannya.

Tapi sebelum mulai mengasahnya, ummi terlebih dahulu belajar banyak tentang sisi unik mu, nak.

You're unique.
Unique.
Unique.

Mengasah kecerdasanmu 'memaksa' ummi untuk mengasah kecerdasan ummi sendiri.
Bahwa ummi pun tak boleh membiarkan diri ini 'tumpul dan berkarat'.

Kita belajar bersama ya nak.
Kau belajar bersama ummi, ummi belajar dari pembelajaran mu.

Raising you, raising myself.

 

 

Bismillaah...

Bulan ini, Ibu Profesional Karawang mengadakan tantangan Family Project untuk menggaungkan tema Changemaker Family yang diusung IIP.

Saya mau ikutan ?
Yap.

Emang saya bisa apa ?
Hhmm..
It's all about sharing, bukan tentang aku hebat dalam hal ini atau itu.

Seperti pesan ibu Septi yang disampaikan lewat ibu Korwil Ummi Haajiroh,
"Perbanyak menebar benih kebaikan".

Niatkan dengan hati yang bersih bahwa kita ingin berbagi ide dan menebar inspirasi, itu saja titik.

Bukan tentang menang kalah, eksistensi, presentasi di depan publik.
Hohohoo.. jauhlah ya saya mah.

Ditambah lagi, ketika tengah asik berselancar di instagram, saya menemukan 'sesuatu'.

"Jika engkau merasa bahwa segala yang ada di sekitar mu gelap dan pekat,
tidak kah dirimu curiga,
bahwa engkaulah yang dikirim oleh Allaah untuk menjadi cahaya bagi mereka ?
Berhentilah mengeluhkan kegelapan itu.
Sebab sinarmualah yang sedang mereka nantikan.
Maka berkilaulah."

 

 

Sesuatu banget.
Saya membacanya dengan hati bergetar.
Mata ini hampir berkaca-kaca.
Lebay

Iya, kenapa saya terus bergantung dan menunggu cahaya datang ?

Bukankah saya bisa menjadi cahaya yang dinantikan itu.

Fampro for Changmaker Family

Project :

Berbagi file belajar (worksheet) gratis di Blog

Pembagian Tugas :

Ummi : Membuat worksheet, Desain, Lay out dan Publishing.
Abi : Editor isi dan Pelaksana lapangan
Syaima : Eksekutor a.k.a. yang ngerjain worksheetnya :D

Media : Blog saya rhynesme.blogspot.co.id

Family Forum : Brainstorming dan menyusun ide worksheet.

==========

Bagaimana Prosesnya ?

Kami akan mulai dengan membuat setidaknya satu lembar worksheet dalam sepekan.

Worksheet tidak hanya berupa media belajar baca, tulis saja.
Tapi bisa berisi banyak hal lain.
Printable untuk bermain, menguunting, puzzle, flashcard, poster, dan lain sebagainya.

Worksheetnya akan kami susun untuk range usia Syaima, tentu saja.
Karena kembali pada prinsip, berbagi inspirasi.
Bagaimana kita bisa membagi inspirasi jika kita sendiri belum mengalami inspirasi tersebut.

Jadi, kami akan mencetak dan mengajak syaima bermain dengan worksheet tersebut.
Jika Syaima menikmati, setidaknya anak yang setipe dan seumuran dengannya insyaAllaah juga akan menikmati.

Selain itu saya pribadi juga ingin berbagi worksheet untuk para emak. Seperti daily planner, weekly planner, kalender pribadi dan semacamnya.

Juga berupa file pdf berisi berbagai macam emak-things.

Beberapa malah sudah saya buat, tinggal upload link download.

Yaa Allaah, excited banget mau berbagi. Jadi semangat mau menyusunnya.

==========

Kenapa ?

Karena pengalaman kami mencari media belajar selama ini.
saya harus sering-sering searching kesana-kemari mencari printable dan ide bermain untuk Syaima.
Dapat ?
Dapat, tapi kebanyakan yang kami dapat berasal dari luar, kebanyakan dari wilayah eropa, inggris dan US.
Yang sudah pasti berbeda latar belakang, berbeda pula konsep dan kontennya.

Juga beda pula bahasanya. Ini sangat penting karena Syaima memasuki fase pre-reading. Yang ketika saya mengucap kata 'buku' maka saya sambil menunjuk gambar dan tulisannya. Masa saya mengucap "buku" tapi ejaanya b-o-o-k. Nantinya malah akan menyulitkan dan membingungkan Syaima.

Seperti ini.

 

Juga tema worksheet nya, seperti valentine themed, christmas, thanksgiving, 4 seasons, dan lain-lain.
Yang harus kami edit terlebih dulu.
Yang ada, jadinya saya menghabiskan lebih banyak waktu untuk mencari-menyunting-mencetak.
Waktu kebersamaan malah hanya sedikit.

Pun tema yang ingin kami lejitkan terlebih dahulu untuk Syaima.
Seperti mengaji, sholat, keimanan, dan semacamnya, yang tidak bisa kami dapatkan cuma-cuma di internet.

Ada sih, tapi kurang sesuai dengan umur dan minat Syaima.

Saya pernah membahasnya di postingan ini.

Akhirnya, saya pun menemukan media yang lumayan cocok dengan Syaima.
Karena media ini memang terbitan dalam negeri.

Tapiiiii...
Berbayar.

Kami berlangganan dengan biaya langganan sembilan ratus ribu hingga 2,4 juta pertahun.
Uwoww banget ya.

Saya berlangganan setahun.
Asikk sih. Sesuai dengan apa yang kami harapkan.

Tapi, setelah saya amati, saya kan bisa bikin beginian. Walaupun grafisnya tidak sebagus dibandingkan yang berlangganan :D
Setidaknya ala-ala gitu, hehee..

Tapi kan semua hal besar berawal dari yang ala-ala, iya bukan ?
menghibur diri

Jadilah saya bertekad ingin menyusun sendiri worksheet dan ide-ide bermain. Lalu membaginya di blog.

Pikiran ini sudah muncul sejak lamaaaa dahulu.
Tapi belum menemukan jalan, masih buntu.

Makin ke sini, saya makin tau bagaimana memulainya. Apalagi sejak di IIP.
MasyaaAllaah, semakin tertantang.

Ditambah lagi saya ditantang salah satu teman sekaligus pengurus rumbel untuk berbagi di acara IIP di hari ahad nanti.
Dimana pada hari ahad nanti insyaaAllaah saya akan memandu teman-teman membuat berbagai permainan untuk menstimulasi pre-reading and pre-writing skills.
Beberapa permainannya memerlukan printable yang insyaaAllaah saya sendiri yang akan membuatnya.

Nantinya akan kami share di blog ini secara gratis di page Free Download.

So, our first project will be here soon.

Secara tidak langsung, IIP mewujudkan mimpiku melalui tantangan yang diberikan, salah satunya tantangan ini.

Bismillaah.

1. “If You Want  To Sort Them, Give Them One For Good”

The last thing the parent of a highly sensitive child would do is to punish them or try hitting them. It would trigger an adverse effect. Things like raising voice against the child will harm his tender heart immeasurably.

Saya tidak pernah memukul.
It's a big no.
Tapi, jujur saja saya pernah meninggikan suara ketika kehilangan kontrol.

Dan itu langsung membuatnya diam. Bukan diam yang benar. Tapi diam yang 'tidak benar'. Ada yang salah dengan diamnya.
Seperti kaca yang pecah karena pukulan.
Dia menjadi diam karena 'terluka' dan saya menyadari hal itu akan melunturkan kepercayaannya pada orang tua nya ini.

Seperti kata ustad, salah satu hal paling penting yang diberikan anak kepada kedua orangtuanya adalah kepercayaan.

Semoga Allaah mengampuni Ummi.
Maafkan ummi ya nak.

-----

2. “Make Them Attend Social Events And They Will Learn”

Busy activities can be too much to handle for highly sensitive children. It might take weeks for them to become normal after such events. Instead, when we respect their privacy, it will send them a positive message that we understand their boundaries. Such empathy will help them to become social with guidance.

Syaima suka bertemu banyak orang. Karena dia suka 'tampil' dan cenderung narsis.

Tidak ada masalah mengenai hidup bersosialisasi.
Tapi kadang memang dia lebih suka sibuk sendiri.
Tidak seperti teman-temannya yang selalu bermain di luar.
Dia hanya kadang-kadang saja.

-----

3. “Leave Them By Themselves And They Will Come Around”

The issues which are troubling an extremely sensitive child are real. Leaving them by themselves in such a situation will only worsen the situation. If a child is not able to adjust to a new dress or a new environment, the thought will constantly be on their mind until you act and help them to get over the thought.

Ya. Time out sangat tidak berlaku untuknya.
Yang ada dia akan menjadi sangat histeris dan merasa sangat bersalah.

Pelukan dan bisikan “Gapapa. Yuk, ummi bantu...” justru lebih ampuh untuknya.

Dia mengerti, lebih mengerti dan memahami apa yang terjadi dari pada anak seumurannya.

-----

4. “She Is Getting Too Personal”

Highly sensitive children take things to their heart and easily get involved emotionally. It takes time to teach them not be so and things just won’t happen over a day. Discarding their feelings with conclusions is never helpful.

Baperan ?

Bukan sih, lebih tepatnya perasa.
Segala hal dia rasakan dengan hatinya.

Seperti semalam.
Dia merajuk karena saya tidak menoleh ketika dia memanggil.
Saya yang sedang konsen mengaduk nasi, tidak begitu mendengar panghilannya.
Jadilah saya minta maaf.

Ketika mendengar suara tangisan anak tetangga, dia akan bertanya “Dia kenapa ya ummi ?”.

Semuanya masuk ke hatinya. Apapun yang dia lakukan pun sepenuh hati.

Jadi saya harus jeli, bahkan pada hal-hal kecil yang dia lakukan.

-----

5. “She Needs To Be Involved In The Team”

Highly sensitive children often find it difficult to participate in team games as they feel stressed out due to competition. At times, team games may involve elements where they can be teased, or they may not be confident. Forcing them to play such sports will only damage their self-esteem and leave a permanent mark in their lives. Sometimes team games do help them to boost their confidence. If an extremely sensitive child is not a team player, you can encourage him to participate in sports which he can play individually.

Syaima is kinda game player.
Dia asyik sendiri, tapi juga suka ketika harus berbagi tugas dalam team.

-----

6. “It Is Just A Thing That She Is Afraid Of”

The fear experienced by highly sensitive children is real, however petty it may seem. If they are alarmed or scared of anything, always acknowledge their fear and build confidence in them to face it. Talk to them on how they should overcome their fear.

Seperti syaima yang takut kucing.
Selalu saya sounding bahwa “Syaima tidak takut kucing. Syaima sayang kucing”.
Butuh waktu lama.
Tapi alhamduliLLaah sekarang mulai tidak takut kucing.

Juga hal-hal lain seperti suara blender, hewan kecil, serangga, kupu-kupu dan macam-macam.

-----

7. “Toughen Them Up”

A highly sensitive child struggles to cope up with the surroundings. Do not be insensitive by making attempts to toughen them up. They might feel insecure as they can’t be who they are and lose their individuality. Giving them guidance on how to handle situations and taking care of them will gradually help them cope up with them.

Ya. Selalu menjelaskan apa yang terjadi, bagaimana menghadapi dan menangani sesuatu. Dan penjelasan-penjelasan lain akan sangat membantu.

Dia akan mendengarkan. Dan dia akan memahami.
Lebih paham dari pada anak seumurannya.

I proved it.

-----

8. “She Is A Cry Baby”

As mentioned above, highly sensitive children take things to heart. Under uncomfortable situations, they find it too hard to hide their tears. You should empathize with them and understand their real feelings. Give them tools to cope up with situations than ridiculing them for their tears.

Orang yang tidak paham karakternya pasti akan mengatakan itu.
“Anak cengeng.”
“Gitu aja nangis.”
Dan lain lain..

No. Padahal itu karena kepekaan hati nya.
MasyaaAllaah.

-----

9. “They Have To Adjust However Distracting Environment Can Be”

An extremely sensitive child who is trying to cope up with the environment of the school or a group will find it highly difficult. Sometimes, the teacher may simply suggest that they have to adjust like the other students. But for a highly sensitive children, the problem is real and being in a distractive environment would simply worsen their feelings.

AlhamduliLLaah, tidak berada di lingkungan yang memaksanya untuk menyesuaikan diri pada hal-hal yang dia tidak cocok.

Sebenarnya ini yang saya khawatirkan, bila masuk sekolah baru nantinya.
Khawatir lingkungannya nanti tidak cicik dengan dirinya.
Kami masih menimbang homeschool.

-----

10. “Is It Her You Are Talking About As She Is Not That Kid”

Highly sensitive children may put up a positive behaviour at school but throw up a tantrum at home. It is because she knows that the parents would understand her and in school she has to manage by herself.
Teachers may not understand that your child behaves that way at home.

-----

Tidak juga. Di sekolah pun dia bisa ngambek.

Saya ingat ketika olah raga.
Ditengah senam, barisan anak-anak mulai kocar-kacir.
Lalu Bunda Guru menata kembali anakk-anak pada posisi awalnya.
Menggeser mereka satu demi satu.
Anak lain sih biasa saja, digeser atau diposisikan dimana saja nurut dan lanjut senam.

Pas giliran Syaima yang digeser, dia mendadak berhenti mengikuti gerakan senam dan cemberut hampir menangis.

Saya paham apa yang terjadi. Saya buka ke dua tangan saya, kode untuk memeluknya.

Dia pun lari ke pelukan saya dan menangis sesegukan. Mengatakan bahwa dia tidak mau dipindah.

:D

Bagi yang tidak memahami karakter seperti ini, mereka akan menganggap hal ini lebay.
Padahal justru sebaliknya, hal semacam ini adalah santapan setiap saat.

-----

If your child is highly sensitive, you are lucky to have such a caring person in your life.

Not all children can think about others the way your child can.

Be proud of your highly sensitive child and show her and the world that you are a lucky mommy.

Team with your child and be her biggest supporter too!
Hot to parent a highly sensitive child is extremely difficult.

-----

AlhamduliLLaah. AlhamduliLLaah.
AlhamduliLLaah.
MasyaaAllaah 💖

Artikel masih dari momjunction.com

 

 Pagi tadi sebelum berangkat sekolah.

“Ummi...”

Dia merengek, mewek karena kesulitan memakai kaos kaki.

“Susah ya, nanti ummi bantu ya.”

Ya, it's tight and stretch, kadang Ummi juga kesulitan pake kaos kaki. It's ok.

Tapi untuk orang tua lainnya, mungkin akan langsung tersulut emosi.
“Gitu aja nangis !”

Ya, saya juga pernah mengatakan itu beberapa kali. Semoga tidak akan pernah lagi.

-----------

Menjelang pulang sekolah.
Bunda Guru mengantarkan Syaima dalam keadaan menangis setelah selesai belajar memasukkan air ke dalam botol sirup.

Saya langsung memeluknya.

“Kenapa sayang ? Jatuh ?”

“Tidak...”

“Terus kenapa ?”

“Ayo kita pulang...”, ucapnya sambil menangis.

Oh my.. memang ketika itu teman-temannya sudah berkemas dan berhamburan di halaman sekolah.
Sementara dia belum apa-apa dan saya masih duduk manis, rapat dengan kepala sekolah.

Baiklah.

Bayangkan betapa mudah runtuhnya anak yang super lemah lembut ini jika tidak punya pondasi yang kokoh.

Semoga Allaah selalu melindungi mu, nak.

Aamiin

💝

How to Prevent Your Sensitive Child from Being Bullied?

1. Develop Their Confidence

Unconditional love and support from parents and other adults helps a child to build confidence. It gives them courage to share their fears with you. You have to teach her to stand up for herself, and at the same time protect and encourage her in every possible way.

2. Make Sure They Feel Safe

Take a chance to discuss the various things your child faces at school. Talk to them regarding their teachers, peers and their academics. If they are being bullied, teach them how to handle the situation. It is often suggested that they go to an adult for help in such circumstances. Try not to misguide by telling her to avoid or run away from bullying.

3. Count On Friends

Highly sensitive children find it difficult to be part of groups. Children in a group aren’t bullied as everyone is there for the other. It is important you tell the child the importance of having a friend and help them identify a good friend who will understand your child’s sensitive condition.

4. Be Physically Fit

Children who are active in sports are physically fit and also have more confidence than the other kids. As a sensitive child may avoid team sports, it is important you train them to be fit individually. Physical exercise helps them become healthier, stronger and confident.

5. Boost Her Confidence

A weak child will always be an easy target for bullying. When peers comment on physical appearance of children, an extremely sensitive child can be easily offended and become depressed. So it is suggested that you maintain a healthy diet for them so that they are fit and confident. A highly sensitive child, who is confident, can handle her sensitiveness.

-----------

1. Develop Their Confidence

AlhamduliLLaah saya sudah menerapkannya sejak sedini mungkin.
Bagaimanapun karakter anak, being confidence is a need.
Kepercayaan diri bisa berawal dari bagaimana orang tua bersikap terhadap anak.
Kadang malah orang tua nya lah yang justru membunuh kepercaya-diri-an anak-anak.

2. Make Sure They Feel Safe

Saya melakukannya, selalu berusaha melakukannya.
Karena saya menyadari kelemah-lembutan nya yang super.
Bahkan ketika dia baru berumur beberapa bulan saja, dia akan menangis ketika mendengar suara keras, seperti petir, mesin dan semacamnya.
Dari situ saya mulai menyadari 'sesuatu'.

3. Count On Friends

Yang ini saya belum bisa.
Karena sebagian besar waktu Syaima adalah di dalam rumah.
Masa sekolah hanya beberapa hari dalam sepekan.
Tapi Syaima juga bukan anak yang sulit bergaul.
Dia mudah bergaul dengan siapa saja.
Tapi ketika di sekolah, saya mengarahkan nya untuk lebih dekat dan lebih sering bermain dengan anak laki-laki.
Karena saya perhatikan, setiap bermain dengan anak laki-laki, dia lebih 'disayang' dan 'dilindungi'.
Berbeda ketika dia bermain dengan anak perempuan.
Lebih sering dibully.
Walaupun tidak semua anak perempuan begitu.
Ada anak perempuan yang juga bisa 'klop' dengan Syaima.

4. Be Physically Fit

Ya, dia suka permainan motorik kasar. Di rumah pun dia akan menjelajah seisi rumah dengan berbagai permainan.
Dia akan selalu penasaran ketika ummi melakukan ini dan itu, lalu dia akan meminta untuk mencobanya.

5. Boost Her Confidence

Ini yang terus saya lakukan, menjaga kepercayadiriannya.
Yes, she can.

How To Help A Sensitive Child ?

 

As you probably know already, parenting a highly sensitive child demands care and attention.

Follow these tips to handle him tactfully:

1. Acknowledge His Feelings
• Your kid has a high range of emotions running, and you have to tune in as a parent. Understand your child’s feelings. It is one of the first steps you need to take when you want to adopt the right parenting approach toward your highly sensitive child.
• Your child may feel emotional all the time, but remember the instances when you felt hurt and someone failed to understand that. Let your child know that you understand what he feels.

2. Don’t Try To Change Him
• For you, it may not be a great thing to be highly sensitive, but for your child, it is a way of life. As a parent, you may worry that being highly sensitive can hurt your child most of the times. It is perfectly understandable. But you also need to realize that this trait is not something your child can just delete.
• If you try and force your child to change, it will only make him retract into his shell. He will think you disapprove his behavior, and it will make him feel more guilty and quiet.
• Accept and love your child the way he is. Make him feel happy and proud, and not a misfit.

3. Reassure Him
• Tell your child that you love him no matter what. Use your words and actions to show your child that you love him just the way he is.
• Your child may sometimes feel he is different from others, and it can be quite a dismal thought for him.

4. Encourage His Positive Traits
• Some children can be rude and single out your child for being highly sensitive. Help your child to overcome these issues by highlighting his virtues.
• Show him how he can use his skills to his advantage. Tell him that being sensitive is good because he feels for others. Not everyone can do that.
• Your child may have an amazing imagination, he may be extremely creative, can be a wonderful listener, may perceive things much better and have a host of skills that not all children have.
• Help your child to realize these qualities and help him hone them more.

5. Guide Him Slowly
• Your highly sensitive child may find it very difficult to make certain choices. Your child may want to stay out of difficult or unfamiliar situations. He may not want to interact in a social gathering and be exceptionally shy. Help him face to these social situations by guiding him in interaction with others.
• If you feel you are not able to convince him, do not punish him. Speak to him and discuss your concerns. Tell him why you feel doing things a certain way can help him. Your highly sensitive child will understand your logic much better than other children of his age. Share with him all the reasons you have for asking him to follow your advice.
• Your child may not show any immediate improvement, but he may evolve gradually.

6. Take Baby Steps And Work As A Team
• Your support can help your child in a big way. Parenting the sensitive child includes a lot of support. There will be many instances where your child will highly benefit from your role as a partner than just a parent.
• For instance, your child may find it difficult to make friends in a new school or class. Help him out by planning individual interactions. You can arrange for separate play dates at your place where your child can interact with one or few new friends. It will help him gradually break the ice and get more comfortable and confident.

7. Don’t Apologize On His Behalf
• As a parent, you may sometimes apologize on your child’s behalf when you feel he isn’t socially comfortable. Stop apologizing on behalf of your highly sensitive child if you feel he made a social mistake. Understand that he is finding it challenging to adjust and is having a difficult time.
• If you apologize to others for your child’s behavior, it immediately sends out a wrong message. Your child will feel that he is a cause of embarrassment for you. It will make your child an introvert, and he may feel uncomfortable discussing his feelings with you later.
• Accept your child the way he is and support him in a crowd.

8. Plan Ahead
• Sudden situations can be very difficult for your highly sensitive child to handle. Parenting a sensitive child in this situation can be done the this way:
• You already know that your child does not like big interactions and social gatherings. Hoping that maybe it will work and planning something without his knowledge may prove a disaster instead of a success.
• It is good to first plan out things with your highly sensitive child. Sit down with him and take him through all that you are planning. Tell him why you feel he should go ahead with it even if he feels uncomfortable. Tell him about all the fun you can have together and how much he and everyone else will enjoy.
• Tell him he can always take a break with you in the middle of the event if he does not like it. Ask your child if he would like to help you plan things. Involve him in the preparation activities to help him cope with the situation.

9. Teach Your Child How To Manage A Crisis
• Your highly sensitive child may often not be able to cope up with a social situation. Even though you are always by your child’s side, there may be times when he has to manage alone. It could be in school, in class or at the house of a friend or relative.
• Teach your child ways in which he can calm down and control his anxieties. Repeating ‘it’s okay, I can handle this’ or ‘it will be over soon’ and ‘I can do it’ can help him feel better. Teach him to chant these magical words softly.
• Also, teach your child some simple deep breathing exercises. It will help your child during sudden panic attacks or anxiety episodes, when you may not be around to help him.

10. Stay Calm
• It is an extremely crucial parenting mantra. It is normal that you may sometimes lose your cool as a parent, especially when all your efforts to help go waste. Understand that this is not a condition but a personality trait. You just need to learn to start looking at things from his perspective.
• Do not feel guilty if your best strategies are not working. Stay calm and give yourself some time. Take a break and ask your partner for help, especially if you feel you may lose your temper.

11. See Sensitivity As A Gift
• Sometimes it is frustrating when your child is unable to handle situations or is crying a lot or avoiding social gatherings. You need to empathize their situation and identify their talents. Sensitive children are often gifted with various arts and skills; you just have to help them identify their potential and help them with it. Tell your kids about famous people who have their traits.

12. Focus On Strengths
• Remembering how your child is talented or how he handles situations is important. This way if you can be aware and accept their challenges, you can help them to train themselves to be more confident. Talk to your kid about the positive aspects of being sensitive.

If your answers are yes, then your child could be sensitive. A sensitive child needs to be dealt with delicately.

If you feel your parenting skills are resulting in extreme reactions from your child, maybe it’s time to do a reality check. Read on to know if your child is highly sensitive and what you need to do to handle him with care.

Ya.

Saya mulai merasakannya semenjak dia berumur beberapa bulan.

Saya tidak tau banyak tentang karakter anak dan semacamnya. Yang saya lakukan hanya memberikan yang terbaik. Tapi saya yang masih lemah ini harus terus belajar demi menjadi ibu yang lebih baik lagi hari demi hari.

Signs Of A Highly Sensitive Child

A highly sensitive child, as the name suggests, is more susceptible to the people and situations around him. Here are a few highly sensitive child traits you may notice in your child :

1. Your highly sensitive child will react with emotionally to almost everything.

A simple visit to a pet store could leave him feeling miserable for the animals there. A stern look from you could reduce him to tears. Being highly sensitive also makes your child empathize with others. He may feel so bad about others’ problems that he wants to go out of his way to help them. He may worry too much about others and want to make things right for them.

2. Broods Over Failures

If your child is highly sensitive, he will delve deeper into things than most other children of his age do. For your child, a simple event like failure to achieve a particular target will not be just that. He broods over the matter, thinking why he did not realize the mistake in time, and what he could have done about it. This could result in stress and anxiety.

3. Takes Things Personally

For your child, being highly emotional means that everything that happens is personal. Your child will react to everything in a way where he feels whatever others say is applicable to him only.

4. Difficulty In Making A Choice

A common trait among highly sensitive children is the difficulty in taking a decision. Your child will look into various details and subtleties, making it difficult for him to select. For instance, if asked to choose a flavor of ice cream, your child will take a long time to decide. In certain cases, he may find it difficult to choose, like something as simple as choosing a partner in a game.

5. Feels Guilty

If your child feels that he has taken a wrong decision he will feel extremely guilty. He will ponder over too much into the reasons. No matter what you say or do, he would not come out of it for a long time.

6. Displays A Tough Exterior

You don’t want to be on the wrong side for your sensitive kids. They may be mad at you for a month. They may be hurt by something you did or said and will simply hold on it than expressing it to you.

7. Well-mannered And Polite

Kids who are sensitive are well behaved and also expect to be in similar surroundings.

8. They Read People Well

Sensitive kids have a keen sense of observation and know people well. They observe character traits and gather an accurate story of who the person is.

9. They Love Animals

Kids who are sensitive develop a special bond with animals wherein they trust them completely. It’s not just trust they are also sensitive to the needs of animals and take extra care of it.

10. They Ask A Lot Of Questions

Kids generally ask a lot of questions. At times the questions can be irritating and may be personal. But in general the questions may leave you with a sense of positive thought.

11. They Are Calculative And Take Firm Decisions

Sensitive kids generally make decisions after putting in a lot of going through a lot of emotions. They do things for a reason and if they fail, they are often left in self-doubt. Once they have taken a decision, they usually stand by it even if they are alone and can be disheartened at times to see how insensitive others can be.

12. They Feel Accountable And Admit Their Mistakes

Sensitive kids not only try and study their environment but also continually evaluate themselves and keep their emotions in check. If they feel they have done a mistake they don’t hesitate to admit it and they always appreciate others for small acts.

Artinya apa ?

Artinya saya yang harus belajar kecerdasan emosi.

Karena saya kadang tidak bisa mengontrol emosi dengan baik.

Bahkan walau sekedar diam pun Syaima bisa merasakan gejolak emosi saya.

Semoga Allaah mengampuni.

Sudah diamanahi bayi imut yang taking care of other dan sweet begini kalo masih ga bisa memberi teladan yang baik itu kebangetan...

:(

Pagi-pagi, karena saya masih haid, saya bangun agak siang.
Iya, saya bukan tipe ibu rumah tangga idaman banget.
Buka mata, cuci muka, lalu mulai beraksi.
Saya membuatkan segelas madu dingin untuk suami tercinta.
Kemudian berlanjut menyiapkan sarapan Talbinah untuk suami dan bayi imut.
Tau Talbinah ? Pernah dengar ? Pernah lihat ? Atau malah suka ?
Kemasannya seperti ini.
Yang saya tahu di Indonesia baru ada merk ini, belum pernah ketemu merk yang lain.
Isinya serbuk, seperti serbuk bubur lainnya.
Tapi karena ini adalah gandum, jadi terasa lebih kasar.
Dan saya lebih suka ini dari pada bubur yang terlalu lembut.

Cara membuatnya agak berbeda dengan bubur biasanya.
• Cairkan serbuk bubur dengan sedikit air dingin, sampai basah saja, tidak perlu sampe encer.
• Panaskan sedikit air, disesuaikan dengan jumlah serbuknya, jangan terlalu banyak air.
• Bisa ditambahkan gula sesuai selera, karena ini plain, tanpa rasa.
• setelah air mendidih, masukan adonan bubur di step pertama.
• Aduk-aduk terus sampai mengental.
• Setelah mengental, matikan kompor.
• Tuang ke piring/mangkok
• Ready to serve 🍲

Talbinah adalah bubur gandum.
Rasanya ya seperti bubur gandum biasanya. Dan seperti bubur bayi juga.
Tapi kalo dibuat agak kental cenderung keras, malah lebih enak menurut saya.
Terdapat hadist pada kemasannya.

Saya membelinya di toko herbal dekat rumah.
Harga nya sekitar 40-ribuan.
Tapi saya dapatnya sekitar 28 ribu, hehee..

Usai menyiapkan sarapan, saya menyeduh kopi.
Lalu membiarkannya dingin, untuk kemudian ditambah es.
Es kopi adalah sesuatu, semacam mood booster atau sekedar favorit saja sih.
Pokoknya suka 💖
Saya tidak menyiapkan makan untuk sarapan ?
Tidak.
Sarapan kami sesederhana itu.
Usai sarapan kami biasanya ngobrol santai, kadang juga diskusi tentang sesuatu.
Sambil tiduran di kasur tentunya.
Sekitar jam sepuluh kami berkemas, daya ingin mencari tinta printer.
Saat keluar rumah, langit gelap mendung. Tidak berapa lama kemudian gerimis mulai turun.
Kami langsung putar arah, ngebut dari kejaran hujan.
“Mau makan apa ?”
“Gado-gado ya”
“Gado-gado lagi ?”
Hihii, semalam kami sudah makan gado-gado.
Memilih 'makan apa' adalah sesuatu yang ga begitu penting untuk saya, karena saya pemakan segala -yang halal dong ya-.
Ngga masak ? Engga.
Ngga nyuci ? Engga.
Weekend adalah family time.
Yang artinya, waktu dihabiskan bersama-sama sepanjang masa hari.
Kalaupun masak, ya kami belanja dan masak bersama.
Akhirnya mendarat di warteg. Beli beberapa bungkus lauk.
Dan melihat situasi sepertinya tidak jadi hujan, kami memutuskan melanjutkan perjalanan mencari tinta.
Belum lama berkendara di jalan utama, hujan mulai mengejar -lagi-.
Ahahahahaa..
Akhirnya kami pun putar balik lagi.
Sampai di dekat perumahan, lagi-lagi hujan mereda.
Hhmmm.. Mungkin memang di sini saja yang belum kejatah hujan.
Di perjalanan pulang, kami mampir membeli buah. Dibungkuslah tiga ikat rambutan dan dua buah naga.
Tidak bertahan lama.
Sampai rumah langsung diserbu. Dan habis oleh kami bertiga, manusia/manusia buah.
Hehee
Sepanjang siang saya menemani Syaima 'sibuk' di kamar mainnya. Jangan tanya kondisinya kaya apa. Bersepah-sepah seperti biasa. Yang penting dia 'terpenuhi' dan seneng.
Malamnya kami melihat laga Indonesia vs Iceland.
Di tengah break, saya ajak Pak Su photocopy worksheet.
Worksheet bejibun yang saya siapkan untuk aktifitas Syaima.
Kebanyakan adalah tracing, menggunting dan mewarnai.
Tidak, saya tidak menyuruhnya 'ngerjain PR' macam ini.
Tapi memang anaknya suka.
Pertama kali ketika saya mencetak (print) worksheet ini, saya katakan padanya “Ini buat belajar Syaima ”.
“Yeay !”
Dan dia sangat antusias.
Jadi ketika dia sudah cape playing aroung the house, biasanya dia akan duduk manis dan sibuk sendiri.
Seperti Ummi, tangan kita sama-sama ga betah diem.
Baiklah, cukup sekian dulu cerita ngalor-ngidulnya.
Masih banyak kegiatan di hari ahad dan ahad-ahad lainnya.
