All About Careless Children
-
It really looks that many parents are having the same problem. Wonder if the careless problem will improve as they grow older?
Any experience from other parents? -
Hi Clarabella
Thanks for the suggestion.
Will take a photo of him and make him remember and maybe put words on the picture to remind him of his carelessness and ask him to take note. -
Np. Hope it works, skkitty. The things our kids make us do to help them … grrrr.
Er, maybe don’t mention "carelessness" but emphasize "careful"? More positive mah… -

I will just be happy that he brings her home when the time comes!
So, jedamum, next time he'll bring his girlfriend(s) home for you to approve. Think how fun that'll be :lol:
But don't think can bring her home for dinner...I dunno how to cook a decent meal!
:idea: maybe she'll cook for me instead! hohoho :politebleah: -
jedamum,
Wah, a MIL who can’t cook! Your future DILs would be delighted… cos you won’t be commenting on their culinary skills (or lack of). -
My kiddo lost 4 points in his maths, 1 point in his Chinese & 0.5 in his English SA1 recently due to carelessness too.
What I intend to do during this holiday is to print out test papers with answers all writen on it. Some answers will be delibrately written wrongly and I will ask him to spot the mistakes.
Hopefully using this method, he will approach 'checking paper' in a different mind set and adopt it during his future tests/exams....

Wow, clever boy, and the marker quite strict. Errrrrr.....you have not answer my question, do they have oral exam and composition? Coz it's quite difficult to get close to a hundred marks for language like what your kiddo did, only minus 0.5 marks, that's amazing for language exams. That means he scored full marks for oral and also compo, very good results indeed! -
How to we help student who know how to do the problem sum, but they tend to make mistake on calculation. eg addition or multipulcation on the number?
