Hi Ms Tay! I once spoke to the school councillor and she mentioned some parents just can't accept their kids are having problem...hence they refused to seek help or bring the child to the doctor.... the Councillor herself wanted to meet these parents but they simply refused to drop by and discuss..
My younger ds was diagnosed of ADD(Attention Deficit Disorder )he just cannot concernate well in class... I had a hard time too...but of course, I have to consider what's best for my child hence I never push my ds, as long as he can make it into secondary school, I am contented.
Beside studies I really dont know how to help him...any advice ? (his cca is track n field ) Btw , may I know how old is ur sp nd child ? Mine this yr p4 . -

Don't worry! I believe your ds will find his interest when goes to secondary... it's a good thing that he is good at his studies... my elder ds CCA is dragonboat...he loves outdoor... used to train hard for his school compeition...he trained 3 to 4 times a week and he can do fairly for his acamedic... guess he learnt to balance both CCA and acamedic..I remembered 4 yrs ago, I joined my elder ds on his open house CCA and we went around to take a look on the introduction of each individual groups (there will be a open house for CCA the 1st week of the school reopen), my ds immediately selected dragonboat as he like canoeing... I told him there will be no turning back for secondary once you selected that CCA stick on to it till your O level, you cannot drop out or change your CCA as 2 marks cannot be deducted for your O level result...
Hence we must be very careful and speak to child before he commits... my ds did all the way... God bless...
Glad to hear your ds is in track and field :hugs:, my younger ds is also in track and field....guess your ds like mine won medals too... so don't worry, I believe they will select a good CCA for themselves in secondary.
Sorry... I can't understand \"how old is ur sp nd child\" what is sp nd child?
I have 2 boys the younger one was dianogised with ADD and he is in PSLE this year.. -

Ah, story is never that simple. My ds2 was always unusual and problematic with studies. Focus poor and underperforming. He was poor in language, but not Chinese (even tho we are not Chinese-speaking family). He had problems with English, which meant his English would be poor, his Science would be poor and to some extent, so would his math be poor too. Many suggested that he be tested. But....he refused. Stuck like mountain - cannot be moved with any suggestions. So just leave him be lor. His life. He wants to live it the hard way - up to him.

I just don't understand why their parents don't apply exemption for them :scratchhead: since they hv language learning difficulty .( even some normal kids r struggling in MT) . It might pull all the way down the t- score and it really disadvantage for them. :sad:

But secondary school CCA really take up ALOT of time. Must be prepared. Some kids don't like it in the end.

Did u mean that ur ds refused to take ur advice and refused to accept ur help ? I can understand ur frame of mind , I believe that as long as we don't
give up hope and try to do as much as we can , one day they will understand our expenditure and effort . å ę²¹ļ¼ :rahrah: :rahrah: -

Yes! I believe every child experienced differently... but I also believe they learnt alot from CCA, responsibilites especially...they know they have to be there every training... team work is important no one can works individually without their fellow mates..they need each other to do a job.. hence they develop trust in each other.... of course! sometime they blame each other when things not turn out not right... example: they lose a compeition but they learnt from it and build up a bond as they will do better for next compeition...

This is what I see in my elder ds... hence I believe with this attitude he can do better in JC/poly......for JC/Poly... I heard most kids do well CCA for secondary carry on to do well for their JC/Poly....that's why Hwa Chong and SP/Ngee Ann poly's dragonboat team are always the top...
For my elder ds school, the principal did not stop the CCA actitives for the O level till Sept(most school did that).... he believes that kids can cope and do well in both areas which is quite true....but of course... some kids cannot... some kid like my younger ds no way! he cannot juggle both well....hence I have to be careful to know about his interest and to consider what is good for him then select that CCA... -

My p6 ds will be continuing the same CCa he has been in since p1.
