I was one such mummy too :oops:

Scary, the formula of \"more nagging, screaming and spanking\" does not help in curing carelessness. You better try sth else :siam: before you get burnt out first.

Though I dont believe in corporal punishment, I will punish the books by jabbing the pages with my pen - corresspondingly raising my pitch at the same time - when I feel that ds is displaying lackluster attitude despite me putting effort to teach him after a long day at work. So I more than understand what Scary is going thru.

Easier said than done. But Scary, just monitor that the occasional spanking does not mould your smart son into passiveness due to the fear of getting punished for making mistakes while trying new things. This would be regrettable for an intelligent child like yours.

Having wars in my house is a regular thing but I never spank my Ds cos my sch work...spanking is only for rude/ dangerous acts.. N that is after warnings r given first..

Revising P1 tog with U and Your Boy! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

free revision

The residents in my block will know WHEN I revise is/are/was/were etc etc. With my older one, they will know WHEN I get him to do synthesis. :evil: I lost track of the number of times I have reminded him to be careful :mad: ...one missing alphabet or word means the whole answer is wrong. No partial marks given. The other reason why I scream is bcos of his ugly/untidy handwriting.[/quote]Same same here...super ugly doctor style handwriting..cannot even spot his own silly mistakes! :frustrated:

If you :mad: and :stompfeet: and :spank: your ds, he cannot learn to be patient.

Good point Picolo . How can one teach patience when one doesn't exhibit it? Just like I have zilch leadership quality, so I can't teach leadership to my son.

Then I am imparting good lifeskill- I will put down the book, tell him to go do sth else, later we continue.

Hi drickymummy,

He will be heavily penalized if handwriting is ugly or illegible. Told him many many times...examiner will mark wrong if answer is questionable :stompfeet:
My cane is used when kids tell lies, rude and throw tantrums.

Hi parents,


I have a 2007 ds1 and I am thinking of registering him into phpps. I callEd the school to enquire abt pv but was just told to send an email with my child's particulars and wait for a reply. Do u know if there willl be an application form to be filled in later? Or does it actually mean we don't stand a chance? Thanks! I am actually an alumni of a gals school but my no 1 is a boy! Keke

I actually think you're a bit late to be applying for PV now since your son is 2007 child. Chances are all the available vacancies would have been taken by now. Better to have plan B. Good luck.

Hey FWQ,
No patience also have to be patient...own kids mah. I play 'taiji' when it comes to Math though. Nothing to do with patience but my lack of interest.

Err janet, who is FWQ? New member? :siam:

Whoa drickymummy, you are scarier than Scary. She only spanks because of her son's sch work, but you spank because of your sch work? PH mummies can be a scary lot! :scared:

I think that's the best approach. Sometimes when I feel that I'm gonna blow my top for whatever reason - could be due to rough time at work even - I'll send ds straight to bed. I've a certain tone when I'm mad and ds recognises that it means not bargaining.

This week is DEAR and ds came back inventing a new language which he taught me. So good to have no exams to prepare so I can afford to spend some time entertaining his idiosyncrasies.

FQW - oic. Thanks. Coz when I called to enquire, the school told me they still have vacancies but there was no application form to be filled and I was told to just email my child's particulars and mailing address to the school generic email. plan b is to move within 1 km n try my luck? wise move?

Pei Hwa has a history of balloting within 1 km except for 2003 babies.
So moving within 1km will only increase yoru chances but it is still not 100%.

Trap - yup, I also noticed. My initial plan was to do pv AND move but since the pv thing seems to be closed I guess I will relook my options too.. Thanks for a advise
