"Viana, stop scribbling on that piece of paper and focus on what the teacher is saying..."
I and my 6yo daughter share many things and one of them is the work desk at home. I am dethroned daily afternoon when her school starts and for the next few hours I am the voluntary onsite assistant to the teachers monitoring if she is going about her classes in the right way.
Last friday I noticed she was doodling away on a piece of paper while the classes were on and so I called her out a couple of times asking her to stop whatever she was doing and concentrate on the classes.
I was all smiles once I got my desk back later in the afternoon when I saw a note left next to my monitor - apparently, she did not pay heed to my nudges and finished what she was doing anyways.
Happy daughter's day to all the parents of daughters as well as all the wonderful daughters who have been relentlessly sneaking in moments of joy for their families since the time they were born.
