Developmental scientist at the National Institute of Edu at NTU. Interested in concepts & lang dev and translating research. Roots 🇭🇰 second home 🇨🇦 work 🇸🇬 mom to 3 boys (2 humans + 1 dog).
I have been sick, resting in bed. K (2;9) came to find me, laying beside me, said "mama wake up! I haven't talked to you"

Always amazed by what kids say and what's on their minds.

C visits a nursing home as part of intergen
program at sch. They walked. I asked where. He thought for a bit and said, "I cannot tell you", then started saying you go here then here then here, here, all while pointing to diff directions w/ his index finger, eyes look like he is picturing the route

"what will I change to? Another people?" then after about ten mins of this he started asking about his clothes 😅 "what about the kid clothes?"

He also said "I'm scared" he's scared of being a grown up.

After bedtime story when we were chatting in bed. C will turn 4 soon. Time flies.

Also, thoughts about bringing number research to the preschool classrooms after piloting a numeracy professional dev study with teachers, and seeing new papers that you want to read (note *want to*). Oh and Kim's Convenience store. I miss Toronto.
