Transitioning to Secondary

[Sun_2010]

Thanks Jennifer,


Looks like ur DS is a well adjusted child. You surely have played ur part.

in fact with DD I perhaps got more invloved during P6, since time management and planning seemed lacking and workload was more... P1-P5 she was on her own as far as school work was concerned.

Some of the ground rules you have set are good , thanks for sharing.

I feel unless both parent and child should change and support one another. Redefine rules and expectations...

This is very true. We need to grow as parents too With two children of different personality and maturity level, the task is harder

Dear Friends,

While awaiting for the PSLE 2010 results, as parents of Sec 1 batch 2011 students, we are all anxious to know about the preparing for our DD & DS for the High School. Can you all give us some tips?

believe at this age, dads have a bigger part to play coz most of the time mom has become a boring nag.

No matter how much we want to keep our DS/DD as our "babies", they will definitely want to feel "grown up" when they reach Secondary level. We can no longer treat them as "kids", we have to treat them as an adult when we interact with them. They will begin to view privacy, friends, image, freedom more and more important. How much of freedom do you give or intend to give to your teenage children ?
