I had always thought I am good at teaching. Since I was young, I dealt with teaching.
During my university and the graduate school days, I worked as a private school teacher and a tutor, teaching a variety of aged children from kindergarteners to high school seniors. I taught English and Math. I liked teaching math.
When my daughter had a hard time understanding math, I naturally started teaching her math. I thought it would be easy for me to teach her, but it was not. Whenever I teach her math, it ends up making her cry.
I mentioned it to my daughter’s school principle and other friends of mine. They all agreed with me. Teaching others and teaching your own child is totally different. It seems teaching others is much easier than teaching your own child. Perhaps, teaching your own child is difficult because you put too much expectation to your own child.
I didn’t know this until I actually experience it. It teaches me that there will be much more things that I would not know until I actually experience in the first hand.
