me too.. i start to defends when pp complaint about weird persons.


Mummies.

school these days keep complaining my son during nap time he is very active, what should i do? i also duno why my son recently start to be very active?

books & cards & sequence pixs does not help my son. he don't understand.

hiaz.. parents w special kids always at losing end when teachers complaints....

Then the teachers just have to find activities for him to do! Some kids stop their naps earlier than others. It's their jobs to manage them. My boy also stopped napping very early.

Sometimes u need to ignore these teachers. What can u do when u are not even there? Are u to solve their problems?

Next time the teachers complain again, u just ask \"and so?\" they will stop in their tracks and stop complaining.

i beg to differ from mashy… afterall, they are still our own kids… how can we say its the teachers’ problems?


helplessmum3, how old is your son?

[verykiasumummy]

helplessmum3, u can actually try during the weekends to see if ur son sleeps too much at night? try exhausting him by asking him to skip or run or other exercise and make him take nap after that… some children stop napping earlier than the others, and boys tend to be more energetic… try activities to exhaust his energy and i believe he will be back to his naps… try it before informing the teachers and see how it goes…

I suddenly recall some methods you can use to interest your girl to write. You can get her to trace letters on sand or rice. Pour some sand/rice or anything grainy (or something foam-y like shaving cream etc) on a tray and get her to trace her letters. This is actually a well known method used by montessori. But it may get messy or she may end up fiddling with the grains.

I also remembered I used the doodle board app on my iPhone- and still do for Chinese words, and let my boy Practice his writing rather than using pen & paper. I also downloaded a couple of tracing apps for him. The point is, make it as interesting as possible. I think sitting down writing with pen & paper may be a tad dull even for NT kids.

I dunno. Just some suggestions

hi blokus,

can u share what app name is that? is it free or paid app? i hope to share with my niece as well... it will be so useful...

[verykiasumummy]

by the way, can i also ask if the sand u use is bought from ikea? i find them a little coarse as i accidentally fell n landed my elbow in the pile, left me painful dents and slight scratches…

[Blokus]

I used iwritewords app. They've got a lite version but I bought the full version after trying it out. I think this was the app that interest my son the most. But you can try other apps, see which ones your niece likes.


I actually used the leftover colored sands from those sand art kits I bought home to do. Or if you've the time, can dye some rice grains with colors & use them for tracing too! No need to buy, just use everyday things.

hi blokus,

good, i like your line \"No need to buy, just use everyday things\".

this is so true for us parents... especially when higher cost of living is apparently evidently everywhere....
