Pls help my p4 gal....

[Emelyn]

I find talking to my DS1 (P4 too) very stressful.

If he is in a good mood…everything is fine.
If he is in a not-so-good mood…something I said could trigger a volcano eruption.

Just 5 mins ago, I ask him if he has checked with his Sony Creative Award partner about his meeting with the teacher.

He said "no… can’t be bothered".
I said "but you are joining the competition, you need to know what XXX has discussed with the teacher."
He : "I don’t want to join anymore"
I : "You need to be responsbile. YOu have already submitted the entry form. If you decided to pull out, you need to let the teacher know."
He : "Why me ? you go and tell the teacher lah."

then he started to cry.

Sigh Sigh Sigh.

Hi Daisyt,


1) "She is still playful" - playful in terms of use a lot of her time playing toys, computer games, watching TV ?

Playful - lack of concentration, mind wanderer, always wanted to complete fast and spend her time playing with her stuff toys…for eg. baby alive…

2) "teacher advised me to revise her old work before moving to a new chapter." - did you get the tuition teachers to do that ?

I had a long chat with her last week. she cried and saying that the tutor is very fierce and always compare her with other students. I admit that the tutor at times talk in a loud tone. She nows even reluctant to have her tution and request to change her tutor.

Now, just pray hard and hope she will grow mature in time to understand about the importance of education.

I highly recommend parents to watch \"Supernanny\". I personally find her methods are very useful and effective. I have seen a few episodes on how she handle small kids about 3 years old to a girl of 13 years old. Clap * Clap * Clap * Disciplines + Persistance

i had only watched a few episodes of Supernanny and personally, i felt that it is more of a showcase of how badly the parents handle the kids that shed some light on our own relationship with our kids (ie clearer as 3rd person point of view).

Must have rules at home. Children need boundaries

Hi wewecheng


I’m also having the same problems with my girl in P3. At least your kid still cleared her papers although the marks are drops. Mine is always maintaining her standard at 30 and I really don’t know what to do with her.

Emelyn, it does appear that your son is suffering from stress. And that stress could be coming from events happening in school. Does he share with you what happens in school? Have you tried talking to his form or relevant subject teachers about his behavior in school. Try to do it discretely so that he doesn't feel that he is being THE problem.

Hi,


I dont know how to handle my DD who is P4 this year ...

Nowsadays, almost every morning, she refuse to wake up in the morning...

If I wake her up nicely, she not even move her body... till I :rant: .... then she will close the toilet door angrily.... :stupid: and take her own sweet time to brush teeth...and once I rush her (scared she missed the school bus), then she will not wash her face and comb her hairs :slapshead: just change her school suit and go to school like that.... :faint:

Normally I insist she brush teeth+ wash face and comb her hair nicely.. then she starts ...... make me really :frustrated: and think to :nunchuk: her early in the morning... :nailbite:

I let her sleep at 9pm everynight, mostly.. not latest by 10pm and wake up at 6am...

I really feel helpless :clubmyself:

Ya, same problem, every morning I need to plead with my kids to get up, only the oldest in secondary 4 is ok, it is stressful in the morning in the house with shouting and even crying. I am not sure if I should have sent them to good schools now as they always say a lot of homework, cannot cope. Am even thinking of transferring the youngest out to another school, a neighbourhood one, anyone got any opinion on this? Anyone transferred their kids from good schools to average ones?
