He's only 4 years old and the schools expect him to be toilet trained? Childcare is more receptive to this. Ok, all kids walk around when they are this age. So don't let the teachers convince you that it's a problem. You will just have to find a nurturing childcare that will be loving towards him. A loving environment goes a long way to helping him.

I also had to withdraw my boy when he was 4 years old from a kindergarten due to similar reasons like yours. They wanted to demote him to pre-nursery. Thankfully, I managed to find a nurturing childcare. When I asked if not being toilet trained is a problem, they said no, just leave it to them. They toilet trained him!

He still walks around at p5 (according to his classmate) but it hasn't caused much distress to the classmates or the teachers.

Hope you manage to find a nurturing school with loving teachers.

2. Divinity Especial Needs Intervention Centre 
3. St. Clare School for special Education

Hi NLA2310,


I had visited iciban nurtureland before and it is relatively alright in general and the fee is quite reasonable. What is your concern? Do you like what you see? I also know a parent whose daughter is in this school since N2. The reason why I never let my son join this school is because the journey is too long (20mins car drive). It is good to let your son get intervention while waiting for govt eipic.

Anyone has recommendations on a special needs tutor who can teach English composition? Having poorly Organised, incoherent and truly weird compositions.

Hi Mummies with experience,

How do you tell your kids that during examp time, they must finish the paper on time and not day dream? My boy didn’t do well for his Eng paper yesterday as he was not focusing and not on task. Only did 5 out of 8 pages hence only scored 16/25. Well, the consolation is that, despite not finishing the paper, he can still pass, so meaning, he actually do know his work. But this is not good and I can’t let him have this habit for long. And thankfully, the Eng paper was only a trial, the actual one is next week so I still have time to drill him.

Strangely, he could be on task for his maths paper and speed test. Can do 30 sums in 5-8 mins and complete 50 questions in 30mins. Wondering why not for Eng when at P1, the paper should not be too difficult for him.

The teacher had walked to him a few times to remind him of the time and usually at home when I set a timer for him, he would be concious about it and aim to finish it asap. Could it be just one of his moments yeserday?

If anyone of you has other tips, appreciate it if you can share. Thanks
