Isabelle Sofia's First Day Of School(Turns 4)

Today is a very important day for Isabelle Sofia and us. Today is Isabelle Sofia’s first day of school. She’s going to nursery and is preparing to share new adventures with a bunch of new kids. When I woke her up at 6:15 a.m. she cried for a while because she was not used for that change of schedule. Later I told her she had to get ready to go to school, so she got on her blue uniform and was ready to go to school. Isabelle Sofia is going to Escuela Internacional Sampedrana.


For Isabelle Sofia to go to school without complaining we decided to apply reinforcement. We told her that if she went to school without complaining for a month that we would buy her a puppy. She actually behaved well and so we got her the puppy. We were worried that after she got the puppy she would start to cry and become rebel at school so we decided to give her a positive reinforcement. We would every day give her 10 Lps. , if she bahaved well. Apparently Isabelle Sofia liked this, she behaved well every day, so she got her 10 Lps.


At school, Isabelle Sofia applied her preoperational stage to remember the kid’s names.She would always come home from school and first describe me the person she wanted to talk about and then tell me her name, I think describing her was the only way she could remember her name. She would always tell us about her good times at school, or any time a kid bothered her or told her a rude thing.

Her first year at school was very exciting. She always got A+. Isabelle Sofia has a good cognition because she was very good at remembering things. When she got home she would always remember what she saw at school. Isabelle Sofia developed her intelligence very well. She was always one of the top kids with good grades. That made Eddy and I feel proud of our cute little girl.


Isabelle Sofia has been behaving in class from the reports her teacher has gave me, but one day she called me with something so silly but serious. I had to do something about it. Isabelle's teacher told me that she has been getting into fights with another kid over a water bottle. Our strategy will be a punishment. Everytime the teacher calls us telling a bad news or that she stills gets into fights with another kid over water bottles will give her "Time Out" which we lock Isabelle Sofia for 4 or 5 minutes untill she calms her selfs and says sorry.


Hope this works because if not will have to try something else. For now it time for dinner. Got to go to prepare it for Isabelle Sofia and Eddy.
