Dear evalim

Until today did I realize that I m not alone ! Omg !! :scared: ur story
Is exactly the same as mine ( the hard time with ur child )
The difference is I'm a homemaker.I quit my job when my DS2 was diagnosed with ASD when he was 3yrs old. As a working mother, being an
able to do so much for ur child is really not easy .. I want to :salute: to u again , u r an amazing mother !! :rahrah:

Ms Tay & evalim
Well done, give yourself a pat for doing so much for your kids. I really admire both of your patience towards your kids. Both the kids are so fortunate to have a mother like you do.

One of my fren, her DD1 is in this situation also. I keep asking her maybe to checkout with the doc or spend more time with him coaching him. But she refused and told me that her DD1 got to help himself to buck up to learn afterall she already engage tutors for her kid. In fact, her DD1 would actually listen to her more than the tutor, but she rather choose to work earn extra $$ for safe keeping and also not to be 24hrs at home facing her MIL and 3 kids.

Thks for ur warmth comment

DW and myself used to send DD to a private learning centre for kids with special needs (before pri sch) and we found that there were many kids (around her age) with special needs - autitics, hyperactive etc. We tried to find out what's \"wrong\" with DD when we noticed her being \"different\" from other kids but \"experts\" said that she is not autistic, not hyperactive etc etc. In the end, the only conclusion was she had issues with visual perception and fine motor skills. Her \"condition\" resulted in her being very weak in Maths (and anything related to numbers and drawings) but luckily, her language so far have been good enough to get her promoted to the next level over the years - in pri and sec sch.


With early intervention, I am sure parents with special needs kids can cope better. Please also try not to compare them with their siblings as it will stress them more. Over the years, I have learned to accept DD's \"condition\" and stopped comparing her with DS especially Maths results.

Yes , strongly agree with u :hi5:
The early intervention program is very important for special kids...
Happy for ur dd had overcome her difficultly ! So envious ! :celebrate:
All the best to ur kids

hi all

I heard that the sch will inform the top scorer on the result release day morning ,
Before the principle announce the result, is that true ?

Actually, the results cannot be released before 12noon. However, some schools do reveal on the sly...like giving the top scorers phone calls and telling them to be in school early.
Ms Tay, when you get the phone call, remember to post it here straightaway and let us rejoice with you.

Champagne plus ALL the aunties here in bikini! (except me :rotflmao:) :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

[quote=\"Evalim\"]Guess we have to gather together here and wait together till the results are out... will everyone still be here till Sec 1 as I don't think there is blog for Secondary parents....

they will migrate to the respective sec school discussion thread where their boys and girls have been posted to

But those are generally very quiet.[/quote]With all the current mummies and daddies in this thread, do you think the secondary school thread will be as quiet as this year? What is call migration? The whole lot of us will sure revive the secondary thread, burning it alive man! :rotflmao:

DD in sec2 and still struggling in her studies; worst being maths.
All those problems with 1 to 1 tutors etc mentioned here are exactly the same as what we faced in the past.

School thread :gloomy: :sad:[/quote]I think that can easily be done! We have the KSP forefathers here, ask them to allow just one secondary school issues discussion thread will do and unless there are specific questions which other schools may not be experiencing, that of course will be an exception to have another thread asking that particular question, or, that's not the case? :censored:

[verykiasu2010]

one section is the discussion threads on individual sec schools dealing with things specific to that school


another section called the \".....support\" section is for general discussion of things in general, discussion thread is by topics
