When Jason started his Primary school nearby, my Filipino housekeeper accompanied Jason to & fro school as it was just a 10 minutes walking distance from home.
However, my wife and I tried our best to knock off from our office on time to reach his school to collect him home, at least once a week.
Thinking back, I can still feel the excitement of rushing to his school to surprise him, I can still remember how happy he was to see us and walk out to us.
These are moments that we, as parents, will always remember but do not blame your kid if he does not remember it as he could be too young but this sort of bonding will eventually pay or show positive impact on the child's development; eg. he knows he is being loved and care for.
I made an effort to wake up early to see Jason to the door though the Filipino housekeeper walked him to the school every morninig.
Here we have Jas back from school and playing with his 2 dogs; Jack & John.
We taught him to take the feeder bus when he was at Primary 4, after noticing that his classmates were able to travel on their own. His school has also shifted to its new premise but still reasonably nearby ( ie still walkable but maybe 20-30 minutes away ).
So find that time to send your child to school and/or collect your child from school even if it is once in a while.Happy Parenting...... !
