School counselling

[MdmKS]

Bentan:

You should be able to find good pastoral counsellor among the Christian churches, especially those who are affilliate with a primary school. Examples are ACS Barker and Geylang Methodist Primary School.

hi Bentan, for these schools, are the church within the school, do we just walk in when we are not from the school? Thanks. Do you know of any session and schedule suitable for yong teen, 12 - 15 yrs?

the church is not within the school, they r kind of affliliated. best is you call the church to book for an appt before going. i do know Touch ministry has teenager counselling. do call them up to check.

Wow, my son is exactly the same.


I tried to emulate Super Nanny. \"Time Out\", etc. Doesn't work. May be can work in western culture only.

Eastern culture is canning, canning.

School counsellor is no use. Even Child Guidance Clinic no use.

How? :? I am lost too.

Donkey kong,


"School counsellor is no use. Even Child Guidance Clinic no use."
May I know what had you worked with them. I planning to send my son for the school counseling.

I has tried canning my son for past a year but I find it don’t work well. It just stopped him for a short time and the behaviour came back. I use back my own method. It take longer time but the result are forever. canning on my son and dd2 no use. But it work well on my dd1 just one cane she would not do it anymore.

School counsellor will ask parents and kids to meet him/her at school. Then, talk talk talk. Then, she said kid is ok in school, must be something wrong with your parenting. Suggest you go FSC to settle. Indirectly telling us: Nothing concern school.


CGC staff are not very well trained. I guess the well trained ones have left to set up their private clinics. But, very expensive. 1 session $200. Can we HDB folks afford?

S$200 per session is for RMS/D. Rich men sons and daughters. :? Long term paying $200/se is killing. :stupid:

Go Poly Clinic and get referral letter to Child Guidance Clinic. If you are Singaorean/PR, get some subsidies. :lol:

Go private like Mt E kind of clinics, $200 per visit. :stupid:

anyone has seen a school counsellor, can you share if it is a must for the teacher to ‘refer’ the student to the counsellor?

My son said his teacher told him to look for counselor if he needed someone to talk to - when he was in p1-2. Not sure if any referral, but he treated the counselor as someone he could speak to when he didn't know what to do or handle certain situation.

Thanks for reply. Doubt my child will want to go on her own accord.
