Leonie in her first day of school ... a speech delay journey


Leonie is now walking to her next journey, as a primary school student. Masih dengan keterbatasannya menggunakan bahasa Indonesia mix English. Masih belum jelas mengutarakan opininya, masih slebor, tidak fokus, ... but I dare to put her in a new school. This is her second day.

On her first day, she was nowhere to find among her friends. I was panicked. She was not on the line with her friends who were waiting to be picked up by parents. I desperately ask her teacher where she was. Then a security officer brought her with him and when she saw me, she ran and hugged me. She was not crying.

I ask her, why she was not stand in the line with her friends and teacher.

Repeating her answer, she said that she had been looking for my car. "But I could not find your car, mom. I was looking for your car, mom"

"You could just ask your teacher, where is your mom," said the security guy.
"please don't be separated from your teacher tomorrow," the guy continues.

Leonie just nodded. I hugged her tightly. The teacher was speechless. It was her first day as well, she must have been shocked that she had Leonie in her class. Please miss, be patient with her... Help me...

This is something that has been bothering me even until now. She still careless, no fear at all and just following her own rules.

I've tried many methods of conveying things to her, many times, repetitive, again and again. and yet she has not changed.

I made an appointment with a child counselor for next week. Just want her to be checked again...

I'm wishing the moment where she completely understood when she was told something.
I want her to have the best education, gain more skills and knowledge through courses and else... but I guess I could not hope much for now.
