star89,

Very good u know!! Congrats.... :celebrate:
If u really spend time on him, he will hv
full marks! try it....

my ds only got 21/25 & as usual for boys
- all i can say is full of careless mistakes!!!!
:x
& carelessness for sure is one difficult category
to teach !!!!! :?: :?: :?:

Anna,
Nope, I don't send my ds for any form of
enrichment except CL as that's the only
subject I cannot guide. Other than that,
my ds is spending his free time after/before
school playing with his sister..... :roll:

And 3rd child for me???? Hmm.....a very
good suggestion.....

my girl is very shy and thus can’t get any feedback from her. She’s also in 1G for MT. I personally finds the Chinese Teacher very responsible. She managed to overcome my girl’s fear in show and tell which i’m very touched. She also bother to update me on my girl’s progress thru emails. fyi, my girl just had her show and tell in MT yesterday cos of her feared in speaking in front of her classmates.

Anna Ng,


I don’t send him to math tuition. I bought some enrichment books for him and subscribe to the math magazine from school.

I will try to guide him for the next exam. Let's see whether he can score full mark. If no difference, I will not guide him again.

Oh !! You must not give up. Children in primary school usually do not have the self discipline to do their work themselves, especially boys. We as parents have to guide them and help them thru' their primay school years. Once they reach secondary school, they will not listen to their parents anymore liao. And for boys, by nature being playful,they tend to slacken and can become an underachiever very easily. I have a teenage son and being a first time mum who didn't know much about parenting at that time,I had so many regrets starting from not breastfeeding him when he was still a baby. SO JIA YU!!! :love:

u hv 3 kids???? i thot u only had 2.....
how many girls/boys?? dun mind me asking....
i kpo around..... i realised the few forumers
in this internet forum has 3 kids.... (except me la)

i alwiz find ppl with 3 kids (esp those without much
PIL/parents support) an interest .....

Yes, I have 3 wonderful girls ( 7,3+ and about 2 ). I have 2 Indonesian maids to run the daily household for me. My first maid has been with me for about 6 years and the 2nd maid came when I have my 3rd baby. She is cousin of my 1st maid thus so far so good.

It is really true that without parents and siblings support locally it is really hard. Hence, my hubby and myself can't travel at the same time. Luckily we have some close friends that could render help when needed.

star89 & others mommies:

Do u send your kids to math tuition? i did not send him to math tuition but teach at home. My son cannot do well in math because he not use to the question type. We are using the traditional way like 2 + _ = 8 when teaching at home. And now the math questions are not the straight away type, that's why he cannot answer.

Hi Anna,
Ya, Maths questions nowadays are like testing understanding of English more than Maths. Quite tough. Apprently, my girl is attending MPM Maths @ CCK Centre (since 5 yrs old). My girl and myself find the MPM Maths concepts and questions very interesting and relevant to concepts covered in school. Most importantly, she enjoys it very much.
