Lingbei, dun worry. :hugs: She is dec baby, almost one year diff with some of her peers. Not forgetting tat kids progress at different speeds in different areas. So maybe her speech pattern or memory pattern not as developed at this stage but at their age, a few months can make A LOT of difference.

That's what I keep telling myself, perhaps she needs time..and like what the teacher says, I can only hope at the end of the year, she can suddenly..wake up her Idea

Actually there is this resource, not sure if u hv seen the site before. Parentcenter.com
It has this milestone chart that discusses kids of various ages, what you can expect, what r the challenges etc. Quite useful. Of course keep in mind some kids r a bit more advanced or behind but if u use it as a 'strict' guide, it also gives u an idea what u can expect fr her and how to help her towards those skills or goals.

Hope this helps..

Ya, my girl is in plenty of enrichment program, phonics, Chinese, mpm, CMA, swimming, speech and drama. She is able to do her mpm and CMA homework. Cause she is so much younger than her peer, I really hope to prepare her for primary as much as I can. Am I stressing her too much? All these enrichment too much for her?

Is she in school? Did u speak to the teacher in charge yet?

She is in full day cc, during parent teacher section, teacher didn say much on her development, just that she is still young...but if I got concern, perhaps can bring her seek medical advise?????it's as good as say nothing.... I am not sure if she is ok or not

:scared: Then what she talk about during PTM if you all are not talking about child development... I think you should go back to the cc and ask how they should help ur kid before going for medical advise la... Sounds like teacher don't know how to teach if u ask me... Is she on enrichment classes? Sorry to sound so straight... I am the type A one... Cannot help but feel :mad: if something is not right.. And most of the time it's not the kid but the facilitor...[/quote]And when the type A mama speaketh, thou shalt listen :nunchuk:

[quote=\"Lingbel\"]Hi, I realize my girl, (she is dec'05), is not as advance as her peer. Many times conversation with her still dun make much sense. (eg, she will says yesterday, I got.sushi for Lunch).... But it's actually last Sunday, we had sushi for dinner. Am I just being too paraiod? Or this is really a concern....how to go primary school like that.....very worrying leh.....

It like going for driving test without learning how to drive and hope that u will pass the driving test.. Please la.. Wait long long lor... But lucky you still have 5 months to find where the problem lies and retify it.. Otherwise it would be stressful for the kid when she is in P1. Just my thoughts if its my DD but don't have to follow cos I also the paranoid type...

Which book no is she at for mpm? And wat grade for CMA? If she can do these two, then sounds fine to me.. Maybe it the language that she need to brush up... Wat enrichment centre for phonics?

When I do her mpm, CMA homework with her, i found she is able to do…but again, it’s her speech, sometimes, she can be quite a clear mind, says things that made sense…but again, there are times she talk things that dun quite make sense…talk like a baby…

[Castle House]

There isnt a benchmark. Up to individual kid i think. Ask her how she feels abt it?

I also dunno if i m too relaxed with my ds. He is the one telling me he wants to do other stuff.. :faint:

I feel that kids most impt thing is enough rest and enough nutrition. If they have the basics covered, they can perform well in What they do. Maslow's rule of hierarchy if u study marketing la..

A lot of kids in sg dont sleep enuf in my opinion.. Cos a lot of working parents, kids also wake up v early to go ccc or caregivers' place, then parents come bk wanna spend time wif kids also. So in the end, slp almost midnight..

In the long run cant be gd for them i feel..
