Mashy,
I feel exactly how you felt. Plus my son already hates his mainstream CC. If I repeat him for K2 again, I think its bad for his well being and feeling of self worth.
Yes, my son also needs a lot of pushing, coaching and attention from us. But so far we felt he can do his work and hence decided to let him go mainstream and we are braving ourselves for all the negative comments from KKH, EIPIC and Therapist.
Seriously I rather he repeat Primary 1 than to stay in K2 for another year (this is the extend of how he dislike his CC). Its not an easy journey and I hope I have no regrets. Stress hor.. Sigh sigh.
And I am delivering soon!! positive thought!! cannot affect my no 3

Just now brought my kids out for breakfast and for no reason, my ds sat on the floor and refuse to go. Aiyo damn stress. And this mother was pointing to him and telling her dd something about my son, I guess she is saying cannot behave like my boy or what.
Makes me boil man. Feel like going over to her and tell her off!! Sigh. -
Yes, it’s easier to downgrade but not easy to upgrade. If u are in mainstream, u can go to pathlight or other schs later. But once in pathlight and special schs, it’s difficult to go back mainstream.

Re meals outside
My son like no back bone. When we go out to eat, he is like a worm. He will slide down from the chair to the floor, lie down on benches. Simply cannot sit. Then he uses his fingers to eat instead of utensils. Simply frustrating. -
Mashy,
He is actually okay lately. Behaved himself many weeks already. Dunno what is wrong with him today.
Anyway now at home, when I ask him what is wrong, he only say he shouldn’t do that and he is sorry. Sigh. Naughty naughty! -

I think there are always some ‘off’ days. Even we can go a bit off at times and don’t behave typically.

May I know In what or how they hav improved after they gone through therapy and eipic?

mashy:
yes, mashy, agree that a kid's potential is as much as we allow them to grow. ASD kids have different potential because the spectrum is quite wide. good to hear that your kid is doing well in P1. i think your kid is really smart cos he is into bonds and chemicals and universe ...Nugget
Oic. I super ks. Lol. My son had a choice to enrol this yr or next yr p1. But we opted earlier. We started his kindy earlier by a yr already so if I decided to enrol in the next yr, he will hv to repeat k2. He seems to be coping well despite the earlier enrolment. Not the best in class but also not the worst. Maybe if I delayed, he might top the class but I find this is not challenging his mind. It's tougher now since he is youngest in class, HFA and need to constantly push him. To me, I just take the plunge and deal with the issues one at a time. I feel a kid's potential is as much as we allow them to grow. If we keep them in a shell, he will just grow within the shell. If u put him in a bigger tank, they will grow bigger. Hard for us, but better for them in the future.
i guess its a delicate balance with different considerations coming into play. I too hope that my dd3 can be ready to enrol into P1 next year, but I am mentally prepared to defer her for one year if she is not.
whether we defer or not, i suppose we all want the best for our children.
jia you ... -

good for you desertwind. right now i am also coaching dd3 on K1 worksheets. she is delayed in her fine motor skills and so far can only write her name in a fairly legible manner, tracing is not quite there, and coloring is relatively ok but she has the tendency to scribble ... so still a lot more work here ...Totally agree with you, nugget and ImMeeMee!
My boy 2007 too and that is also my game plan. Go into mainstream P1, no deferment, hope that by then he would have improved and developed enough be ready for P1. Meanwhile now, he goes mainstream kindy, has individual tuition once a week, does homework at home and his mummy trying her best to teach him something so his learning does not get left behind.....
All the best to us, jia you!
how is yours coming along? -
