DS bounced in the car looking jubilant. I thought that he had found the CA1 easy. Instead, he said \"Mom! It was a KILLER! I couldn't do THREE!\". I asked him why he was so happy. He said \"Because, everyone got slaughtered. I'm not alone. The guy who got 100 marks in P5 SA2, couldn't do THREE also!! So not bad lah hah?\" :faint:

Ha! My son will also react likewise if it is a difficult paper. Unfortunately, the EL and Maths papers had been easy and he is worried now because he is more careless than others!

Ah so! There is joy in getting slaughtered en masse and in good company... :rotflmao:

Hi,


Thanking for your sharing your thoughts and tips about this CA1 exam. I’m feeling so much better to hold on my anxiety over my DS.

For me, I learnt a very good lesson when my DS suddenly fall sick on Satursday after his CCA activity follow by tuition. He laid flat on bed throughout the weekend. I’m so stress up and worried. Stay healthy is so important, this a wake up call. Can you imagine this happen during PSLE?

During his past months tight schedule plus he can’t really focus when during work that dragged into his sleeping time. This whole week is his 5 subjects exam and the paper runs like PSLE, paper 1 before recess and follow by paper 2. Can you imagine that kind of feeling holding back my norm self not to do any revision with him as time really running out and I worried I go ‘crazy’ during the journey of revision. He cried yesterday at 10pm due to this is the 1st time I did not go through I single question with him. I just ask him to go through his school file and tuition file mistake.

Really hard to express my inner feeling to him…

When he returned from school immediately I hugged him and passed him a simple message " Good Job Son, as every single marks you obtain in this exam is all your own effort! " He smiled.

Now, I just puy my finger crossed and hope prayed everything will go well.

Dd just came back n frustrated by her CA1 math pp, everyone almost cry in front of the paper. Such lousy strategy back fire to the kids, they gave up halfway n do anyhow according to dd. Im disappointed n told dd that she is not expected to be able to do most of them, but giving up during exam is not an option, its a let down mentality she still need to try her best although the result may not be what she desire, but im more upset with the system because they need to be mindfull with the children mentality well being. :mad:

I can so relate... cheer her up!!! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

The irony... the only paper that my DD is cheerful about is the only subject she did not study for... MT!!!


C'mon mums, give our kids a BEEEEEEG HUG and let's pick them up and move on in this journey.

This is not even a battle... it's just a trial before the main event.

Try not to overload the kid, stress n lack of rest, sleep n exercise not only lower imune system but may also hinder child's growth. When dd was in P4 she was in a best class but fell sick during SA2, her result drop n so was her level, she went to P5 average class.

I made sure he looks after his personal hygiene like bathing right after school, and washing hands more often. Then drink more water, basically more liquids. The other thing is Vitamin C. Weather is very hot…drink more barley. Avoid fried food.


Nagged at him to drink water…serve him water to make sure he is hydrated.

Thank you, blessed777.


I was moved to tears ... watching

Derek didn't have to win the race ... he only had to finish the course. What a noble character, and how supportive a father!

Our children don't all have to go to the top schools..... Good if they can, alright if they don't ... they only need to faithfully finish the course.

Perhaps, this will help to relieve some of the stress.

Thank you, once again.
