First, I am sorry for being gone from here for over a week. The life here became busier than we preferred after Shou started the kindergarten. He is slowly but surely adjusted to the new routines after we implemented new approaches.He still shows me sad face when I leave his classroom in the morning, but he hardly shows tears and does not hang on me every morning. I strongly started feeling how…

If the school systems are more advanced, German, Chinese, Japanese, and other…
