But let me start with the positive side.
A while ago, I met this school year's batch of toddlers, my second batch of pupils. Here's how our day went.
To give them time to warm up, I let them choose the toys they want to play with. Free Play Time was a big help to my pupils because they easily became comfortable staying in class. I had no difficulty convincing them to let their parents and guardians leave and come back after 3 hours!
