More than Six Months on

Well, it's been more than six months since my little "Xiaopi" Kieona has begun school. The past few months definitely have not been very easy. Before we had enrolled her in school, I often visualize how "free" I will be once I send her to school in the mornings. Well, at least it'll buy me some time in the morning to rest, relax or just enjoy my little Kierra.

To other parents who think the same way, please don't be so naive. Especially if your children are as young as two to three years old when they start school. Be prepared that the kids will start falling ill, and you will have to let them stay home (like half the time) at least for the first six months. Well, according to many other parents who have been through this, this will help build up their immunity.

I know, sometimes you will wonder why the hell you send them to school, only to have them suffer the constant flu bug but believe me, things will get better. I know of some parents who get so worried that they stopped their children from going to school because some well-meaning relatives and friends (and even doctors) tell them to at least wait for the kids to build up their immunity levels. At the end of the day, you should know why you want to send your children to school at that age.

Ok, one important bit I'll like to share here.... it seems that multivitamins do help the children to build up their health. Me and my hubby have started Kieona on the Seven Seas Multivits a few weeks after she started school and viola! I think I am starting to see good effects, as she recovers much faster from flu than before. And another thing.... feed your children more fruits. The extra Vitamin C really helps.
