hi heutistmeintag :

MY SON THIS yr p4 , last yr l bring him to do test (mensa) he was diagnosed by a psychologist to hv mild ADHD and interestingl he was > 130 for performance lQ ,my problem as same like u (heutistmeintag ) what l do , we hired an ex-school teacher to teach him at home, since he was 5 yr old . my son like reading vy much esp storybook 3,4hrs .now he was studying elite school,he performance (all the exam ) p1-p4 math >95up sci>90up eng>80 chi>80. ever the teacher say he was bright , intelligent.the only problem is DAYDREAM, but he was behave in the class.

I am glad your son is doing well academically. Mine is doing average at P6 averaging 70+ coz I think we (parents) were too lax with him when he was younger. Daydreaming can be avoided if he's given the right challenges. to divert his energy to. I wish my problem is as simple as yours. lol

Hi heytustneubtag,


I think my son got all the above mentioned. Where can I bring him for a diagnose?

Thanks

Erm, how did my nick become heytustneubtag? hahahaha. Anyway, it's heutistmeintag and german phrase. I am not German but Chinese in case someone wants to know.

Anyway, you could contact Dr Mollie @ 67329038. I am not sure if there's a rule against advertisement in this forum, I couldnt pm you and so would just give the contact without company name.

Hi ck123. no worries.

I really cannot remember how much. I think it's a few hundreds (maybe $300) then and it's better for you to call and check with her.

If I get paid $500 for 3-4hrs of work, I'd be very nice and knowledgeable too :lol: . Sigh... should have listened to my mother when she told me to be a doctor.

I think the worst that a parent can give the a child is denial. If the child needs help, get it as early as possible, early intervention does alot of wonders, both to the child academically and emotionally.


All the primary schools have LSP (Learning Support Program) coordinator. If your child has alot of difficulties with spelling, reading or starts failing in his topical tests, mock tests, etc., alarms should sound. Call the school up, speak to the LSP coordinator or form teacher, and request for assistance to help determine if the child has any learning difficulties. They can help to arrange for a psychologist from MOE (it is free of charge) to access and advise if early intervention is needed.
