I struggle with many aspects of parenting, but I look forward to teaching my children all that I know and having them surpass me. Some teachers mayn’t want to teach their own children after a long hard day of work, but not me.

In fact, this Christmas, a brainwave came to my mind. I managed to join the dots and come up with a customised learning resource for my son. First, introducing my unused resources that I have been hoarding for ages.

I bought this intriguing at Yokohama Cup Museum more than a decade ago when I visited it with my then-girlfriend. I love the words so much that I can’t bear to use it yet. But finally, I found a good enough purpose to want to exhaust it.

I have been getting these stickers whenever my children play at the indoor playground. It seems a pity to discard them, but I can’t find an opportunity to use them either. Until today.

Got these magazines for free at the book exchange corner. I appreciate that the words come with hanyu pinyin so that my son can recognise the pronunciation and learn how to read these characters.

I was so excited about my idea that I worked on it during lunch. I only had time for one page. Here’s how this notebook will look like for my boy: a customised fun list of words and stickers!

Yes, I got him to read these phrases when I returned home from lunch. Sensei is an efficient teacher!

Incidentally, don’t judge but I’m a reformed shitcoiner hahaha. I don’t dabble with cakedefi crap anymore!
