5Y9M 4Y0M やんない Don't want to do

ナニア幼稚園のハーベストフェスティバル。

英語クラスのアラタは上手にできた。この写真、アラタの右３人の男の子は同じ年長さん。アラタは１２月生まれなので小さい。右端二人の１月生まれの男の子の肩までしかない。

タカラはと言うと、全く参加せず。参加しない子供が年少さんに数人いたが、先生やお友達が呼びに来たら少しはやっていた。ところが、タカラは徹底抗戦。

仕舞いにはみんなが立って輪になっているところで、「お母さんと一緒にやろうね」という先生の問いかけがあり、仕方なく私も促しに入ってみたが首を横に振り、絶対にやらず、最後は床に寝転んだ。（２枚目の写真で寝ているのがタカラ。）

この後、先生達による人形劇をみんなで観賞したが、タカラは観客席として並べてある席にも座らず、舞台の横のみんなの注目を浴びる位置に余裕で座っていた。先生はみんな出払っていたから、誰にも注意されず、特等席で最後まで見ていた。

もう少し大きくなったら協調性が出てくるんでしょうか・・・。

At Nania's harvest festival. Arata was performing very well. In this photo, 3 boys standing to his right are all from the oldest children's group. They are so big! Especially the 2 standing far right were born in January and nearly a year older than Arata. Arata is still about their shoulder height.

Takara didn't participate at all. There were a few kids from the youngest group who didn't take part in. But they did when they were taken by a teacher or other friends. Whoever tried to get him in, Takara didn't join the other children.

In the end, Teacher Junko said, "Oliver, let's do it with your mummy," while other children were standing in circle waiting for him. I had to go to persuade him. I tried a bit but he still shook his head, so I left. He in the end decided to lie down on the floor. (Takara is lying on the floor in the second photo.)

After these performances, we watched a puppet show by the teachers. Takara didn't even bother to sit on one of the chairs but he sat on the floor next to the stage, where everybody could see him doing different from other kids. Since all the teachers were busy, he wasn't taken away and kept watching the show till the end sitting there.

Is he going to be more cooperative in the future...?
