Children and PSLE
-
Hi guys, just asking. How does one help their child prepare for PSLE and what can the child do by himself/herself to prepare for it ?(especially for those who do not like to study)?

actually i was once a child who did not like to study but a secret web( cannot tell) helped me not by games but a common problem sums which then helped me to get first in class.dude.

I don't think many parents will let their kids prepare for PSLE by themselves. It's a crucial year and the most important in the whole of primary school education. Which kid likes to study ? Mine here complains about having to attend school, get hw done and learn spelling. -
Unless the child is mature enough but at this stage usually parents are more gan jiong and will most probably guide them rather than "leave them alone" to prepare.

:xedfingers: Absolutely right! In fact, some mothers are even prepared to quit their jobs or take no paid leave for that critical year.

A friend of mine took 1 year LOA from her job to be present for her son. She may not know everything but her presence meant a great deal. The result is astonishing !!! 4 A*s. -
The Last one year may not be enough. In my son’s school, I have observed some P6 boys need a lot help in studies. But, "gasp", now seems too late to help. Some of them have only P1 level for Chinese and P3 level for maths and Science. I think their parents should do something much earlier!

Being present for the child at just P6 is insufficient...of course it is not always possible to take no pay leave for too long. My son is in P6 this year. It is a tough and stressful year. He has already cried bcos of stress and insufficient time to get math tuition hw done. He is tired bcos of school and getting hw done. Time is tight. He is used to take a nap everyday or else he will be cranky.
Just yest, I had to re-look at his time table again. Lost count of the number of times I had to edit it. -

I guess parents do not want to take risk. This is a crucial year & kids are still not so mature at this age. -

Not all of them get A* when their mum take LOA. If this is the case, most mum will quit their job for the kids. Why not? I think it is worth it. I am a stay at home mum. Hope my boy could get 4A* too. :rotflmao:babyJC:
