talked to a collague.. her has 2 sons.. elder is smart... str A thru... but #2 is slow... when he was in K2, the Tr told colleague to bring son to see dr lor... to see was there any learning disability... but dr said he was okay yah, just a slow learner.... colleague said she gotta worry #2 for 10yrs when he got his O, single digit for 6subjects.... she said her son prelim was 20points (Sec 1 near to 30points, Sec 2 improved 25points).... then he was 开窍 last 4/5mths, he studied very hard, put in effort... attitude 360 change...


hmmmm.... me is not a patience pax leh... how to wait for 10yr to \"open\" eh?

reiner,
to me, 开窍 a not is not as pressing concern as being a filial boy.
my belief is everyone has to have a skill, be it booksmart or streetsmart; technical skill or people skill. it's the attitude that counts.

we are working hard on \"morale\" yah.... no \"smart\" thingy in our kids yah... keke....

Oh so glad I am not alone. My DS wants me to be by his side when he sleeps but I always wonder if it is time I should let him learn to sleep alone....... :roll:

we are still sleep together... 4 pax in a room yo... wonder what are the pro (if there's any) and cons for kids to sleep w parents? or when shall parents \"let go\" eh??

There had already been thoughts of our silver years..far forward planning. Believe the next generation will have a different perspective of filial piety.

we will be spending our silver years with my PILs.
they are not very old and are fitter than me and my husband.
we have plans to stay with them in a couple of years when my PIL retires.
we have plans to upgrade to a bigger place, possibly PIL chipping in to co-share a private property so our flat will be for rental solely for PIL's retirement funds because by then, hubby is sole breadwinner supporting wife, 2 kids and 2 parents.
whichever of our 2 kids if married, if want to stay with me, will have to accept my PIL too, so very very rarely my DIL will want to stay with her MIL and GMIL.

@ dorisp - yes mine is always thrilled if i allow her to do so. Sometimes gets up in the night and finds her way to my room, Im too tired to bring her back to her room so for the rest of the night while dad and daughter sleep comfortably, Im on the edge of the bed struggling to get some comfortable sleep!

Sometimes I tell her I will join her..and I wont...but next morning she will \"scold\" me saying I didnt sleep with her.

my boy also will sneak into my room. i'll 'march' him back to his bed and then sleep with him until he fall asleep then i return to my room. cos if not, our queen size bed very squeezy and i almost fell off it once.
so every few nights, i'll gonna wake up for such routine...luckily i dont have to work the next day.

dont worry, the time will come.
both my boys sleep with us in a room when we were staying with my ILs.
both boys sleep in 1 room when we got our own flat; they were 4yo and 8yo then.
this year at 6 and 10yo, they sleeping in their own rooms.

Hi Dorisp…since Jan 2012, had been educating my DS to sleep on his own. Initially still alrite, now he had been waking up in the middle of the nite, walking to our room asking DH to pat pat him…and wants round 2 of his milk…


When check with DS in the morning why still want to pat middle of the nite, DS mention scared. DS says there is gh**t, coming from the cloud then through the window to catch him…aiyo, he is so creative and descriptive…

Now need to educate him on science and supernatural issues…

some kids have very good imagination.
my 10yo sleeps with nightlight, but not my 6yo.
any shadows cast by the nightlight, the 10yo can give all sorts of intepretation.
luckily school is tiring enough so he sleeps through the night. i just need to stay with him (surfing net on my laptop) while he tries to fall asleep.

My DS also has mons*** and gh**t stories when asked why he needs my company at night. Yes they can be very creative when the need arises.... :slapshead:


A friend laughed at me when she heard my boy still needs me at night as he is turning six this year.....:oops:

Am learning how to teach DS to be brave and not afraid of the dark.....after all he will be going to P1 next year....better learn to be more independent...
