[Continued from last time] After the tearful individual parent-teacher meeting

Hello! This is Aya😊

Last time, I wrote about “the story of me crying at my child's daycare individual meeting”, and this is the sequel🌿 (Please take a look at that article first if you'd like)

After the meeting ended, I thought about it a lot and worried a lot, and after talking to my husband, my mother, my childcare worker friends, and my neighborhood mom friends, my thoughts were organized and the burden I was carrying inside me felt much lighter.

Although there were parts of the meeting content that left me feeling uneasy overall, the two things that were really bothering me were “I wish you had told me sooner if something happened” and “I want you to tell me about what happens at daycare if anything occurs in the future”—these two points.

I trust the daycare very much, but it's hard for me to keep attending while holding onto this unease, and yet I didn't want to cause trouble for the school that I will continue to rely on, so I decided I had to properly convey at least those two thoughts. (But I absolutely didn't want it to come across as a complaint😭)

Since I couldn't easily meet with the director or the homeroom teacher, I ended up speaking with them over the phone, but when I conveyed what I was thinking along with my gratitude for their daily care,

“I am very sorry for making you feel anxious. However, there are no instances of biting or hitting on a daily basis, and because we understood the reasons for the outbursts, we made the judgment to be careful on the childcare side before reporting it. We will make sure to inform you if anything happens in the future so that you can feel at ease.”

they told me😢

By speaking up, I felt a little more at ease myself, and I realized once again that it is very important to convey your feelings while being considerate of the other person, rather than just holding everything in and enduring it without saying anything😌

But knowing how to convey things is so difficult!!!! lol

Parenting is still full of lessons every day😂

Thank you for reading until the end♪
