Is your DC having addiction to his/her hand phone or always being distracted by his/her hand phone? Any good advice?

I have not been reading the post for quite some time and I was prompted to refresh my connectivity with this parent group. After reading the past few postings, I was rather saddened by the tone of the correspondence. In my humble opinion, CCHM has done a wonderful job in nurturing her student population. As with every place or organisation, there is always the good, the bad and the ugly. We cannot always rely on the school to rein in our child should he or she stray. I remembered attending the parent orientation organised by the school earlier this year and the discipline master was constantly emphasizing the role of parents in ensuring our child toe the line. Their years in CCHM, if given the right push and motivation, could be the best years of their lives. As to whether CCHM is delineated according the number of white or black stars, I can only say you need to walk the ground and realised for yourself that CCHM is at times understated. Hope this goes some way in alleviating the atmosphere ! Cheers !

Is your DC having addiction to his/her hand phone or always being distracted by his/her hand phone? Any good advice?

Hi simpledad, This is a very common problem nowadays. I have established some ground rules to help my dd manage her phone usage. For example, I don't allow my dd to use her phone when she is doing her hw or when she is having her meals. We also set aside some time slots for her to access her phone. As parents, we should also try to set a good example by refraining from using the phone all the times.

I was very sad to hear from one of my friends that he hardly talk to his kids nowadays and that it is easier to reach his kids via watsapp. This is a wake-up call for me. Since then, I made it a point to be more involved in my dd's school and social life. I encourage her to talk to me about her friends by sharing with her my own share of \"teenager experience\". I also try to find out which social media platform is she more active in and try to monitor her from a distance (i.e. cannot comment or like her posts, just quietly observe. Otherwise they may block you). This will also allow me to track her phone usage and circle of friends.

I must qualify that my dd is a very good girl and I am very close to her. I hope this is useful to you as well. All the best :rahrah:

Dear Parents,


Apparently after the recent messaging from our PM during the national day speech, among the my DS and his classmates, they are discussing among themselves that they can now go for the bear minimum and don’t have to work too hard as long can make it to Poly is good enough. "Get a degree for what!!!"

I was totally disappointed when my DS share with me that among themselves, this is how they wish to set path in life.

Nothing wrong that now the government is helping those poly and ITE students, but sad that our kids have mis-interpret the message.

Simpledad,

Sometimes, misinterpretation like this are best caught and corrected on the spot rather than letting it go.

What was your respond to your DC's misinterpretation?

Of course like all responsible parent, we did the right thing and have a good lengthy talk with our DS.

But actually this is not about me or my DS, the worrying thing is how this messaging can be misinterpreted and I don't think my DS & his classmates is the only one and only stand alone isolated case and there isn't any other.

Just sharing for general awareness that this misconception is happening among our kids.
