      Hi coolmum552!

      Today I asked my dd to shade the words as given. This book every chapter has the similar work. She said shade shade everyday shade? I don’t want to do. Then I said ok don’t do. Then she trace number 3. Her studies are not systematic.
      I heard kids can’t concentrate more than half an hr. Give a break then continue. What is the kindy t said? If I remember correctly my son got the feedback in kondy but I forgot in k1 or k2. That time I was so confident and teach him.I didn’t believe in any negative comments. I just work hard. I read in the web and clear my doubts and focus on his studies. Now getting old and the confident level very low. When i taught in very small he caught faster But my dd didn’t. It’s make me like she can’t.hmmm… I gave to change my mind. She is a late bloomer.

        Hi Smartmummy,


        My DS can sometimes concentrate on his hw for half an hour or so…at times he will just write a few words n started to get distracted n do other things. He always like to go to other pages which he’s not required to do/have not learn yet n said he wanna do those. So I have to keep telling him that those are not what teacher wants for his hw. As for his handwriting, he has improved… at least it’s neater than before but still he will forget when to use upper case letter n when to use lower case. But again, since he has improved I’ll just hv to give him more time to practice. I praised him for his neat work n he will be happy.

            Ya this is what I believe too. It really depends on their maturity n every kid is different. So let's guide them slowly n steadily though it's gonna be tough. Let's hang on!!! 😄

                In fact dear mummies, most children will be able to cope P1 with regards to the teachers expectations and work load. It’s not as bad as you may presume. Teachers will generally start at a slow pave and speed up later in the year when the class is more adjusted. As for attention span, most P1 kids are attention deficit. Only in severe cases where children are suspected to be suffering from ADHD will the teacher be very concerned if the child can cope. Even if the timetable lists 3 English periods in a row, don’t expect the teacher to do 1 and a half hours of solid teaching. It could be a variety of activities which includes singing, reading, role play and writing.

                      Hi beauty79,
                      Nice to \"meet\" you! 😄 I'm so glad to hear that from you. Btw, under what circumstances will the teacher suspect that the kid is ADHD? Cos ADHD symptoms are quite general.

                        My Dd very sensitive and soft. If I scold her she react like baby. Talking like baby. son was so matured in k2.her grandmother let her to do whatever she wanted. Sometimes I disciplined then she cried ended in vomiting. So I just left. Now she became a pamper child.another thing experienced with my son he has lack of confidence. So I scared to punish her more . Don't know how to bringing up the kids.
