Is PSLE so important?

Hi Morning!


Ya, I agree that now the school life really stressful for both students and parents.

I just lost control because of my girl yesterday night.

I extremely angry with her because she always finds excuse for her \"mistake\".

For instance, yesterday she took back her chinese spelling, and again not did well just because she totally did not go to learn it. And this time her excuse is her friend also did not learn. This made me mad :oops:

Hi, good morning!!!


I agree with you too that parents are as stressful, if not more than the students. Very often than not, we somehow are too protective over them.

My boy used to be very dependent on me but i have since gradually "let go" and train him to be independent and be answerable to his results. I explain to him what and where his "careless" will lead him to and if he thinks that’s where he want to be, i told him not to regret and say "if i knew, i should…"

To your daughter, maybe she thinks that learning chinese spelling is a chore and perhaps just showing her frustration. Talk to her, spelling helps her learn new words and that may help in her chinese compo and exam too.

Don’t get upset, cos once we upset, we tend to loose our sanity.

Take care!!

If you've time, pick up yoga. It's how I learn to manage my fiery temper and control my outbursts. That, plus lowering my expectations (but not giving up..continuing to be a friend/tutor/mum to the kids) helped.

Hi,


Good suggestion

Thanks for the sharing.

Yes!!!! I couldn't agree more with mathsparks!!! I've been into yoga practice 4 years now....it definately helps to control our mind, breath, focus and be ourself!!! Somehow we will be able to control our emotion and stay calm. Strange but true!!!


Oh, well....not so much of lowering our expectations, but to learn, understand and accept our kids's strength and weakness. Each child is different. But it is very true to always stay close and be their friend/tutor/mum!!! :lol:

Hi Anxiousmom

My boy is in P6 in year. What I did is I ask my boy wat is really want in furture and wish school he like to attend next year. Once he make up his mind we work towards it but we also prepared him for the worst.

I find that this way seem to work on him because he decide the school and we work together to achieve it.
